TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called The Ark Addendum - Enter the Nightbird (part 2) .

First I would like to say sorry to Jim Sorenson for posting this news story almost a week after the event, but better late than never I suppose.  Last Tuesday Jim updated his blog Disciples of Boltax, with the latest Ark Addendum which was entitled Enter the Nightbird (part 2).  As the name suggests this entry follows on from a previous Ark Addendum, one that was posted by in Feb before Jim started to focus on the Ron Friedman auctions.  The post continues with some character models from the episode and includes a bonus download of the Partial Script for Enter the Nightbird: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5BWK6K3U

KOToys Udates Round-up

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called KOToys Udates Round-up.

­KOToys have posted more images of their upcoming releases that we have been recently covering.  First up GenZhao posted some more images of the final samples of Ghost Thundercracker and Ghost Skywarp.  These toys are knock-offs of the Transformers Classics Starscream figure, made up to look like Thundercracker and Skywarp but with transparent plastic.

This was followed by more images of the boxes and cards for their upcoming combiner Cassette knock-offs.  These include the first two of the rare and high-priced Japanese dinosaur cassettes.  The boxes and inserts are made up to look as close to the originals as they could, which means you must take care when seeing these figures for sale.  Though you will note that at the moment both of the Japanese Dinosaur cassettes have the same numbered instructions. This will probably change come the final release, but if not it will be the best way to tell the figures apart.

This was then followed up by more images of their upcoming Death Starscream figure.  This toy is based on the e-Hobby Black Starscream that was released during the Collectors Edition years.

Nelson claims DOTM Mirage is now not Mirage and is Itallian

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Nelson claims DOTM Mirage is now not Mirage and is Itallian.

In a strange turn of events, which will no doubt turn out not to be true, Michael Bay\'s message board administrator Nelson posted the following comment on on ShootForTheEdit.com when asked about who the red robot in Transformers: Dark of the Moon was following on from a post by him that it was not Mirage.

\"All I will say is that he speaks with an Italian accent and is named after a famous Italian.\"

This can\'t be true as it will mean that Paramount will need to have hired a new voice actor to record all of Mirage\'s lines (possible) but also to have re-recorded any dialogue that names the character (though going by the first two movies this is also feasible if unlikely).  To make things worse the novelasation of the film refers to the character as Mirage, as does the toys as well as the prequel video game by Activision in which he speaks with an Arabian-based accent.

The post could just be a joke by Nelson to watch how far it will spread, a failed attempt as mi-information, or he could just be confusing the character that people were discussing with another robot.

Profiles for Dark of the Moon Mission Earth Sideswipe and Ironhide now online

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Profiles for Dark of the Moon Mission Earth Sideswipe and Ironhide now online.

Thanks to two auctions on TaoBao we can bring you the profiles for the upcoming Transformers Dark of the Moon Toys R Us exclusive Mission Earth Scan Series figures.  This sub-line of Transformers: Dark of the Moon is based on the scenes where the Transformers \"trans-scan\" into the Earth based vehicle modes. The first figures to be released in this line are Sideswipe and Ironhide, who\'s profiles we can bring you, with the second wave being Bumblebee and Ratchet.  So here are the profiles.

Sideswipe: There are two things SIDESWIPE likes more than anything else in the Galaxy: Pummeling DECEPTICONS and fast cars. He chose to scan a vehicle that would allow him to enjoy both. He now arrives to the fight in a stylish, cutting-edge sports car ready to junk any DECEPTICON that dares put a scratch in his paint!

Ironhide: \"IRONHIDE may be the most battle-hardened AUTOBOT. Countless encounters with the DECEPTICONS have taught him that the proper vehicle mode is essential to battlefield success. Trucks, he thinks, are the ultimate in vehicle mode superiority. And he`s just found one that rivets utility, durability, and performance together in one mean DECEPTICON smashing package.\"

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called 5 TV Magazine articles from 1999 added.

The lastest in our huge Japanese Collectors Magazine archiving articles are now available to you on Transformers At The Moon.

You will now find scans of every Transformers toy and image that appeared in the following editions of TV Magazine which was originally published in Japan.

This batch of magazine scans includes high resolution images of the Colouring Competition Beast Wars II toys

1. TV Magazine January 1999 - 71 images (Beast Wars, Beast Wars II, Microman and Burning Convoy, Flash Lio Convoy and Black Lio Convoy toys)
   
2. TV Magazine March 1999 - 58 images (Beast Wars II, Beast Wars Neo, Microman)
   
3. TV Magazine April 1999 - 35 images (Beast Wars Neo, Microman, Gold Beast Wars Neo Medallion)
   
4. TV Magazine May 1999 - 44 images (Beast Wars Neo, Microman, Dinozone)
   
5. TV Magazine June 1999 - 36 images (Beast WArs Neo, Microman, Dinozone)
   

The famous Beast Wars II Colouring Competition prizes feature in one of these magazines.  These toys have only previously been seen in low resolution images and no information on them was known, before we picked up these magazines.

The article is a little confussing, as the competition is to win a custom coloured toy based around your winning entry - however the toys shown (those believed to be the prizes) have already been made by Takara to demostrate the idea.  This would indicate that these particular toys were not the Lucky Draw Beast Wars II Coloring Competition Prizes, but are purely mock-ups.  This would explain why they have not made it to the seconds market (eBay, Yahoo Japan or Taobao).

You also have scans of various Beast Wars Neo profile cards, images from Beast Wars Metals, Beast Wars II, Beast Wars II The Movie, Beast Wars Neo along with Microman (from Takara) and Dinozone (from Bandai).
