We have updated both www.transformers-prime.com and Transformers At The Moon with an episode summary and high resolution images from the latest episode of Transformers Prime.  There are over 400 images all at 1280x720 resolution for your viewing pleasure.  You can find the gallery at Transformers-Prime.com or here on Transformers At The Moon.

The episode saw the introduction of two new characters, Wheeljack for the Autobots and Makeshift for the Decepticons

Other then the two images that were posted on Botcon.com showing Transformers Animated Motormaster another two images of the toy were also released (prior to the group shot).  The first was released on TwitPic and was the concept design by Derrick J Wyatt (see below) and the second was posted on the Transformers Collectors Club Facebook page that shows the wax head sculpt of Motormaster.  This gives fans a better chance to see the Lemmy inspired handlebar moustache.  Out of respect for the wax image we will not be mirroring the image until after Botcon so to view the image please click here to visit the facebook page.

The final figure in the Botcon 2011 box set has been revealed and as expected it is a recoloured Voyager Class Optimus Prime as Motormaster complete with a new head.  As per the other toys in the set, the figure was designed by Derrick J Wyatt.  you can view the mirrored images below.

A Yahoo Auction has appeared for a lot of Transformers which includes Dark of the Moon Thundercracker.

Will the character be in the movie, or just a recolour for the toyline.  Most likely the latter.

It is with great pleasure that I can finally present to you are Transformers toy image galleries of both of the Japanese Cassetticons that make up LegoutDail (Dairu) and Saur (Zauru).  We have owned Saur for almost 8 years but only recently managed to pick up a Dial.  As big fans of the cassettes as well as Dinosaurs, the Japanese cassettes have been figures we have been intent on picking up so not only are we extremely please to have finally picked up the one missing from our collection but with the purchase of Dial, we have also completed our Transformers Cassette collection.

You can find some groupshots of our cassette army within both Dail's and Saur's galleries.

The CyberGundamBlog has been updated with some scans from the latest issue of Dengeki Gobby Magazine which included some images of the upcoming Transformers Dual Model Kits.  The kits are of Transformers Movie Optimus Prime and Bumblebee and are similar to the Trans-Scanning toys that were released in line with the first live action Transformers Movie in as much as the models are build as protoforms with armour that is attached to then build them into the Earth forms of the two Autobots.   The Trans-Scanning toys were a unique idea that, sadly, did not really catch on and were not released in the Western markets.  You can view mirrored images of the model kits below though.

­TRANSFORMERS DAYTONA 500 CAST – Grand Marshal Announcement

The stars of "TRANSFORMERS: Dark of the Moon"– Josh Duhamel, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and director Michael Bay – will serve as the Grand Marshals for 53rd running of the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 20, 2011, airing at 12 p.m. ET on FOX.  As Grand Marshals, the TRANSFORMERS cast will deliver the four most famous words in motorsports – "Gentlemen, start your engines."

In addition, the modified NASCAR stock cars of drivers Jimmie Johnson, Juan Pablo Montoya, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- featured as characters in the film -- will make their first public appearance by leading the 43-car field during the pace laps of "The Great American Race," the kick-off event to the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.

The Daytona 500 will not be Bay or TRANSFORMERS’ first introduction to the NASCAR world.  In 2009, Bay piloted the official pace car at a NASCAR Sprint Cup race to promote the DVD release of "TRANSFORMERS: Revenge of the Fallen."  NASCAR drivers Jeff Gordon and Ryan Newman also took part, racing with branded images of opposing AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS on their cars and uniforms.  Bay credits his vision to include NASCAR stock cars in the new TRANSFORMERS film to this experience.
