Listening now using a PDA over WiFi. Works quite well. digital radio . listening to www.UFM1003.com which is a Singapore station, asian pop stuff. Also find Virgin radio and Jazz FM not bad as well. Cheers,

Mahiu episodes 13,14,15 are out.

Speaking of Alt Optimus Prime, Hasbro has some pictures on their site: Alternator Optimus Prime Alt Mode Robot Mode The alt mode looks ok and is a change from all the sports cars lately, but not about it being "Optimus". Like MP op for that, or why not just make a 1/24 Semi Truck in scale with the other figures. Also, I wonder if this will be Hasbro only or will it be in the BT line as a Convoy or perhaps some other character in BT. If indeed it is Convoy in BT, how will the story be written that Convoy gets this body.

Found this Transformers Movie Reconstructed DVD Review and the results, sadly, dont seem to favourable.... also, the Star Wars things are a disappointment, why do they always do these characters transform thing? It would of been nicer if the ships transformed into either regular robots or characters from the Transformers line rather than Star Wars characters. look at how fugly the x-Wing looks as Luke? The Jedi Fighter though reminds me a bit of Vector Prime in GF.

Transformers The Movie Reconstructed Was just browsing around HMV (UK) today and found this on the shelves: Transformers Movie Reconstructed Looks the long awaited wide screen edition of the Transformers Movie (animated) with special extras, etc. Cheers,

The GBP is on Yamatos website now. Same pictures are on there that have been seen before, but slightly large I think. see it here http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=796 Cheers,

RC robots anyone.... Story here: RC Robots Look pretty cool. now if only that 1/48 valk had RC functions and could walk around as well and transform too oh drool. can dream....

Galaxy Force / Cyberton Primus proto pics and review over at tfans here: Primus Review Enjoy,

drool drool drool. its like in the godfather... "you try to get out and they pull you back in" thanks Yamato.... (starts saving the pennies) A future 1/60 GBP would be sweet too...

Be afraid be very afraid! lol. Maybe we need a masterpiece Wheelie On a more serious note, just read this: Takara Tomy to lay off 15% of work force... Takara Tomy Layoffs Doesnt sound good for the people as well as the Transformers? Well, time will tell how the results of the merger pan out...

FanToFan has some Dengenki Hobby / Figure Oh! scans featuring the following: FanToFan GF Soundwave GF Master Galvatron GF Megalo Convoy etc...

Slightly OT... but check this out: Transforming robot toy from Korea. Who knows maybe one day our favourite Transformers toys will really transform! Yujin Robotics Transbot PS: Pepsi Convoy is interesting, not sure about the pepsi coloured cab though? But atleast it makes it possible to get a Convoy. Cheers,

interesting news. Though bit strange as tried the original link that was posted, but HLJ came back with a page not found error. Did a search and find the figures under a different product number!? http://www.hlj.com/product/CMS65031

FYI: Just noticed that Mahou's version episode 9 is available. mahou Cheers,

Rise of The Machines... X-47B Killer Drone construction begins!!!

Happy Happy Happy Joy Joy Joy Just found out about this via bigbadtoystore email. I wonder what the pilot will be like and will it have TV version hands or DYRL only as initial picture.

What are you doing Dave!?

Its not too bad if you dont understand Japanese. The hardest part is "finding" the item you want to buy. Once you found that the rest is pretty straightforward. The actual account and ordering bits can be displayed in english. I've ordered a few CDs and books already and had them delivered to the UK without trouble. Hope to pick up this book and a few other things as well sometime soon! Cheers,

Don't think the final will be the dirty look. This seems to be a "security" measure to make selling the protos more difficult or some such thing. There are some Cybertron protos on TFormers with the same black spray paint on them.

Another Transformers CG demo. This time of Optimus Prime? Optimus CG Video

For UK Trans Fans Argos has Alternators Windcharger (Honda S2000) listed in their catalogue for 19.99 GBP. Argos Alterator Windcharger

For Lego Star Wars fans... From Bricks To Bothans has some box pictures and build pictures of the RotS ARC-170 (7259) Lego set. Also, for any UK Lego Star Wars fans out there, the latest Argos catalogue has the ARC-170 and the updated TIE with light up Vader listed. Avail Feb I beleive. UPDATED: The TIE is appearing as unavailable on the website and the catalogue in store had the new ROTS Jedi Fighter listed instead of the TIE with light-up Vader.

hehe am sure I voted for the garage door but guess voted for glass opening door. even the wife voted down my garage door idea. still think it might work have to think about it... all the best

Using XE.com to convert 3,150 JPY at the time of this message it works out to about 30.75 USD plus you will have shipping ontop of that.

Love it too. I am in awe at the many talents out there. keep up the good work. Now if only Yamato would make some of these customs like the CF into a real 1:48 release.
