Bring me the Head of Optimus Prime!
Deep in the heart of Montana, in a wild forest region, a private militia force has executed a daring plan – the capture and imprisonment of Optimus Prime. They are led by Tyler ‘Trophy’ White, a dangerous hunter with a passion for killing, stuffing and mounting rare animals and now obsessed with adding a Cybertronian skull to his macabre collection. Under his orders a small commando group launched an attack upon the Malmstrom Air Force Base, near Montana Falls, in order to acquire an NNEMP (non-nuclear electromagnetic bomb). The attack was made to look like the work of the Decepticons and enough damage was caused to attract the attention of the Autobots and roll his plan into action!

Thanks to the Indonesian based Transformers fan site TF-Indonesian.net for letting us know that Paramount Pictures are one of the partners support the planned development of Robotland a robot theme park. Why is this Transformers news, well specifically because Paramount are only mentioned due to Transformers. A Transformers Hall is mentioned under as one of the Robot Challenger Displays. "Robot Character Hall: Exhibitions and products relating to robot characters from movies and cartoons. >> Astroball Hall, Transformers Hall, Star Wars Robot Hall etc."
You can find some artist impressions of the planned designs here but it certainly looks like a very interesting concept.

Just to give you a heads up on why the news page hasn't been updated over the last few days, Dave contracted the Norovirus on Wednesday evening, with Steve catching on Friday afternoon.
Due to the contagious nature of the virus we've basically done nothing since catching the virus.
Good news is the worst seems to be past, 60 hours, though Steve won't in in the al clear until Tuesday, so we hope to get back to the regular updates during the week.

As you may or may not be aware Mangohero recently lost his website due to a webhost closing their service.
Mangohero (as well as being a longtime member of the messageboard), is one of the oldest and most respected best known UK traders.

http://www.mangohero.f-t-l.net/
So if you have the old site bookmarked please update to the new URL.
And if you've never heard of them, have a quick look through their infamous unknown parts list and see if you recognise anything:
