S250 has posted four new images of the upcoming Transformers War for CybertronOptimus Prime figure, which shows the toy along side Transformers Universe Optimus Prime.

The figure of WfC Optimus Prime is mnissing the head, along with some other parts.

Actor Jeffery Combs has announced on his website that he will be voicing Ratchet in the next Transformers cartoon series Transformers: Prime.  According to Jeffery, the series will consist of 26 episodes and will air on the new Hasbro-Discovery channel The Hub in the Autumn.

TRANSFORMERS: PRIME

Debuting later this fall Hasbro in conjunction with Discovery Communications Inc will release a new Transformers cartoon on a new TV channel currently called Discovery Kids called Transformers: Prime.

Jeffrey Combs will be the voice of Ratchet, a very well known character in the Transformers world. There are 26 episodes scheduled for the first season. Exact details of the show are currently unavailable but will be posted here as soon as they are made available.

Jeffrey is quite thrilled with the opportunity to be cast in the role of Ratchet. He's not able to talk too much about the show this early in the production but did have this quote: "What I can say is that it is an honor and a privilege to be a part of such a prestigious project."

­S250 has posted a link to the below video of the upcoming Universe Seaspray figure

Canadian site Unscripted.ca have posted an interview with James Avery (Philip Banks from Fresh Prince of Bel Air).  According to the blurb on the site James will be providing the voice for Silverbolt on the third live action Transformers movie.

Just a quick reminder that there is just 193 days left until Auto Assembly 2010.  For those who do not know, Auto Assembly is Europe's largest Transformers fan convention and will run from Friday, 13th August 2010 at 17:30 until 20:00 on Sunday 15th August 2010.  This years event sees AA return to the same location as 2009, the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Smallbrook Queensway, Birmingham.  You can find it on Google maps.  The arrow is pointing to where the actual hotel and convention will be, as Google have the location of the Holiday Inn wrong.

The current guest list stands at:

1. Garry Chalk (guest of honour)
   
2. Derrick J Wyatt (2nd guest of honour)
   
3. Liam Shalloo
4. Simon Williams
5. Guido Guidi
6. Simon Furman
7. Kris Carter
8. Jason Cardy
9. Kat Nicholson
   

If this wasn't enough, a third guest of honour is still in the works, plus you will have toy dealers, panels, Q&A, evening entertainment and so much more.

If you have never been to a Transformers convention and live in the UK we urge you to attend the event.  If you are unsure because you do not know anyone that's fine, you will not be the only nervous person there and you'll be going to an event where you already have something in common with 95% of the people there ... an interest in Transformers.  So whether you want to go to buy some toys, meet the guests or meet up with fellow Transformers enthusiasts there is something at Auto Assembly for everyone.  The event is close to car parks, a train station, not to mention a comic shop :p.  So come along and say high.  We're easy to find, just look for the two guys who look the same.

Please visit the Auto Assembly website for more information and to pre-register (being a non-profit event pre-registration is very important as it helps the keep track of how many guests can be afforded) and don't forget to drop by the Auto Assembly Facebook page.

S250 has posted an image on the TFW2005.com message board of the upcoming 2010 release of the Voyager class Seaspray figure, which you can find below.

The Private Universe have scanned a flyer that was given at the British Toy Fair which is an advertisement for the upcoming 2010 Transformers released including the first look at Deluxe Ironhide, Voyager Seaspray the Power Core Combiner 5-pack.  You can see the mirrored image below.

Toyz and Gamez have posted some listing for the upcoming Transformers Power Core Combiner figures, which includes the names of the upcoming figures.  We all knew about Huffer and Caliburst but the larger robot that comes with Chopster (the figure that was recently shown) now has a name .... Smolder.  That's not all though a third set has also been named as Searchlight and Backwind.  You can view the original post here.

Thanks to NinjaCyborg for posting a round-up from the British Toyfair on our message board.

Transformers selection was clearly visible through the booth window so I don't see why I shouldn't report what I could see. Not like I signed an NDA or anything.

A lot of the display was current releases - ROTF scouts, HA Bumblebee, Leader Prime.

On display, but not on general release yet, was:
Leader Starscream, ROTF Bludgeon

and more importantly from the new stuff was:

WFC Optimus - looked bigger than deluxe, more like Voyager size

WFC Bumblebee - awesome vehicle mode, and even more awesome, metallic gold paint/plastic

Universe Seaspray - ultra sized I think, since it was bigger than ROTF Bludgeon that it was next to. Looks just like a huge version of the original Same blue and white and yellow for the turbines. Very nice.

Some new G1 style legends - I think I saw a jeep, Outback maybe? or Swindle?, It was khaki coloured but the view from the booth window was too far to see the smaller toys
Some kind of combiner - could have been power combiners, but looked to me more like it was built from Legends sized figures - and it was definitely not Devastator. One of the legs looked like a jet or shuttle of some kind. Could be a Legends Bruticus set? Was very lanky and with wiry limbs, but humanoid in shape.
'Leader' ROTF Bumblebee or whatever it's going to be called

Also visible through the Hasbro window was some Marvel Universe stuff, but nothing new and no Iron Man 2 that I could see.

Also saw the A-Team figures on another booth. Not bad likenesses of the new actors. Still hate Neeson as Hannibal though.

Funny that Mattel or Mattel distributors are totally absent from this fair. No wonder you can't find Avatar toys anywhere.

With the British Toy Fair underway and Hasbro showing off their 2010 toys, UGO.com has received some images from Hasbro of the Transfor­mers: War For Cybertron toys of  Optimus Prime and Megatron. War For Cybertron is, of course, the upcoming video game from Activision.

This is a quick warning to those who may think the ­Gold Beast Convoy­ on ebay, sold by eToysHunter/HeerosToyMaker, is one of the original, and extremely hard to find, Gold Beast Convoy figures which featured in a Prize Campaign by TV Magazine, it isn't.

This is the third of the fake Gold Beast Convoy's which has been seen, out of a probably 5 to 15 of them.  Please bear this in mind if you decide to bid on the item.

Thanks to Snakas and Remy for posting the first images of the Japanese Transformers: Unite for Universe figures.  The toys shown are Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime, Jetfire and Megatron.
