Transformations 2011 Cancelled

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Transformations 2011 Cancelled.

Transformations 2011 has been cancelled, announces organiser Paul Cannon on the official website.  Transformations 2011 was going to be a London based Transformers Convention taking place in April 2011, the first since Paul\'s previous Transformers convention Transforce stopped running a few years ago.  According to the website, the event was cancelled simply due to a lack of registrations.

This means that the UK is back to being a single dedicated Transformers Convention with Auto Assembly.  There are other events that take place during the year which include Transformers, but there is no other dedicated event.

For those of us who were fortunate enough to attend Transforces in the past, I can tell you that, with the exception of the last TransForce, each event saw the convention grow with an atmosphere similar to the last two Auto Assembly\'s.

We will keep our eyes out for higher resolution scans, and if we find them we will let you know.

Facebook remove Toys DOTM account

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Facebook remove Toys DOTM account.

Well its finally happened, from the looks of things Hasbro\'s lawyers got onto Facebook and the user who was known as Toys DOTM, who leaked images of the Megatron Dark of the Moon Toy and announced this morning that they would be leaking the DOTM Ironhide tomorrow (probably today in which ever country that are from), has now had their Facebook account seemingly removed along with the images that they were hosting.  The images are still available on Facebook under various others groups as well as on the Internet.  We expect this will be a continuing trend over the next few month as Hasbro would have signed exclusivity contracts within the US so that certain publications can print the first images of the Dark of the Moon figures and characters.  The toys will also, no doubt, be shown off at the various Toy Fairs which take place around the world in Jan, Feb and March including the British Toy Fair.

So far images of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Ironhide have been leaked (that I know off), though there is no doubt that users of 4Chan can expect to find images posted on that site by disgruntled Asian staff wanting to sell stolen samples.

Interview with Sumalee Montano

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Interview with Sumalee Montano.

­TFW2005.com have published an interview with Sumalee Montano, the voice of Arcee from Transformers Prime.

Q.1 To start with, tell us a little bit about yourself, Ms. Montano. What is your background? How did you get into acting and voice-acting? What roles have you starred in before?

I’ve been acting since I was a kid, but mainly as a hobby and extra-curricular activity in high school and college. After I got my undergraduate degree from Harvard, I became an investment banker. But after a couple years of doing that, I realized life is too short to be working in a career that you don’t really love. So I quit and decided to become an actress.

My first voice-over job was a radio commercial. My first on-camera job in Hollywood was a recurring role on ER. I’ve enjoyed playing a lot of different guest-starring roles on TV, including shows like Bones, Boston Legal, Big Love, and most recently on a new comedy called Glory Daze. Transformers Prime is really my first TV series where I get to play a “starring,” series regular role.

\"Wrong. He said initially he didn\'t have anything to do with it and then later became totally involved. Who do you think shot those NASA, astronauts walking on the moon, and Ark scenes?\".­

Now is Nelson simply teasing fans or is this the reveal that the spaceship seen in the trailer is actually The Ark?­

Welcome to Transformers 2010 Toy Hobby Market Exclusive Universal Dominator Unicron review and image

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Welcome to Transformers 2010 Toy Hobby Market Exclusive Universal Dominator Unicron review and image.

I have updated the website with an image gallery of the latest additional to our ever-expanding collection, the Toy Hobby Market exclusive, \"Welcome to Transformers 2010\" Universal Dominator Unicron figure.  The toy is a heavily recoloured Armada Unicron with a new head sculpt based on the 1986 Transformers: The Movie cartoon.  If I were to sum up the toy in one word that world would be AMAZING.  TakaraTomy not only gave the figure a much improved head, but the new colour scheme vastly improved what was already a pretty good toy.  The figure is painted in such a way that it highlights many of the details that were hidden on the previous version of the mold.

The image gallery includes comparison photographs with the Armada version of the toy as well as the Lucky Draw Green Unicron figure that we own.  You will also see side-by-side comparison images of the mini-cons to highlight the differences with Dead-End as well.

If you are interested in owning one of these toys, ­we still have some available for £120 including recorded postage within the UK, so just drop us an email .

Preliminary script for 1986 Transformers The Movie now available online

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Preliminary script for 1986 Transformers The Movie now available online.

Jim Sorenson has posted an update on his blog regarding the Ron Friedman auction that he won that contained the preliminary script for Transformers: The Movie (that\'s the 1986 film).

\"Last month, a group of dedicated fans pooled their resources to attempt to purchase a piece of Transformers history; scripts and other documents from Transformers movie writer Ron Friedman.  Many scripts were won by our coalition, but perhaps the most anticipated among the many documents we purchased was an early draft of The Transformers: The Movie, dated 4/27/1985.  I\'ve scanned it in and done a preliminary OCR pass, so without further ado, here it is for download!\"

The script contains the dialogue for many scenes that did not make the final draft including Megatron\'s reference to his \"Spark\", action for Sunstreaker and Wheeljack and the how the fate of Earth was also going to hang in the balance.  Some of the information was already known about, like the Predacons originally being Autobots called Anibots, but what is new (at least to us) is that their names were finalised as Simba (Razorclaw), Pardo (Rampage), Shriek (Divebomb), Thump (Headstrong) and Clump (Tantrum).  Its well worth a read.

Weird Al Yankovic completes UK Tour

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Weird Al Yankovic completes UK Tour.

Weird Al Yankovic completed his first ever UK and European tour last night with a headline date at the HMV Forum in Kentish Town.  Al put on an awesome show, as always, for the sold out arena with possibly the biggest pop of the night coming when he played a clip of Transformers Animated showing Ratchet and then Wreck-Gar which was, of course, followed by Dare To Be Stupid.

Though a loose link to Transformers, I enjoyed the show so much I thought I\'d mention it here.  If you could not see Al this time do not worry as he has stated his desire to return to the UK within the next three years to play more venues.

New high-resolution stills from Transformers Prime episodes 1 through 4 now available

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called New high-resolution stills from Transformers Prime episodes 1 through 4 now available.

I have updated www.transformer-prime.com as well as its parent site www.transformertoys.co.uk with some new high-resolution stills from the first four episode of Transformers Prime.  This now means that you can find HD stills from all five parts of Darkness Rising on both websites.

You can find the image galleries easier on Transformers Prime here, here, here and here (for the sake of completeness, part 5 can be found here).

I have also updated the code behind Transformers-Prime.com so that when viewing the resource galleries, if there is more than one page of images as well as clicking on the \"jump menu\" to navigate between pages you can also press the CTRL key on your keyboard and then type in the number of the page you wish to view.  You have 1 second from pressing the CTRL key to complete the keystrokes though, so best not dawdle.  So to jump to the third page simply press CTRL then release that button and press the 3 key (it can be on the numeric keypad or the main keyboard it doesn\'t matter).

Transformers Dark of the Moon teaser trailer spoiler

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Transformers Dark of the Moon teaser trailer spoiler.

­Coming Soon.net have posted a description of the upcoming Transformers: Dark Of The Moon trailer.

\"Transformers: Dark of the Moon, from the teaser, plays it on conspiracy theories related to the moon landing. The first part of the movie alternates images of the control room at NASA and of the astronauts on the moon. The landing is what we know well, as are the famous words about the \"giant leap for mankind.\" But we did not know what is the journey of the astronauts on the dark side of the moon, until the control room do not tell them that \"... then we are not alone.\" Then we see some Transformers: the camera comes close to the eye of one of them, which starts to flash. But the camera does not stop, and takes us inside the robot and its mechanisms, making us understand that it\'s coming back into action.\"
