02/11/2002: Transformers news is coming in fast and furious these days! Hasbro showcased there new Transformers toyline at Toyfair yesterday and you can check out awesome coverage of the event, at Altered States Magazine, bwtf.com, and Transfandom.com.

There's also a great article on Dreawave Productions featuring new Transformers comic art here. The article also discusses the storyline for the second Transformers G1 miniseries that will be written by Simon Furman. “The proposed story arc, though nothing is set in stone right now, looks set to take us right back to the very start of the war between the Autobots and Decepticon Set on the Transformers’ homeworld of Cybertron. It examines the roots and causes of a conflict that will span millions of years, and spread out throughout the universe.” Thanks to Magnus PI for the heads up.

12/02/2000: A pair of new profiles up today, Vortex and Flywheels can now be found in the Profiles section. Since we are nearing the end of 2000, I thought I would mention the future toy lines of Transformers. It was revealed a little while back that Hasbro will be releasing two Transformer lines in 2001. The first is a continuation of the Beastmachines series called: "Battle of the Spark". The molds for this series look much more show accurate and look quite nice. The second very exciting line is currently called "Transtech Transformers". This line will re-introduce realistic vehicular Transformers and bring back old favorites Optimus Prime and Megatron! Keep an eye on Unicron.com for new pictures and information.

11/20/2000: Sorry for the lack of updates. I was on a trip the past couple weeks but now you can expect weekly updates once again! For this week Swindle has been added to the Profiles Section. Also a call to all artists, I am in need of black and white line art for the Beast Wars Monopoly cards. Rather than having just my art I thought it would be cool to feature a few different artists. You can email me at prowl34@home.com if your interested.

In Transformers news it has been announced that the original Megatron toy will be Takara's new re-release for 2001. However, American customs will not allow these toys to be imported from Japan because they don't meet current toy gun laws. (which were formed after Meg's original release in 1984 and states they can not resemble a real gun) A few online stores say they will still carry the toy, but this obviously will make it much more difficult to get a hold of a coveted Megs without paying ridiculous Ebay prices... Also Block Buster has released an exclusive Rhino Transformers video! It has Five episodes including the first 3 Episodes of the series: More Than Meets the Eye. Get a hold of it if you can!

10/31/2000: Happy Halloween! In spirit of this holiday, I have a special treat for you! There has been a poll up in The Making section, and the majority of the vote were positive for my next project . So as asked for Beast Wars Monopoly has been created! You can check out the board here. Enjoy!
