UK TF fan Colin Warhurts has updated his SiabsFilms website with some information regarding the next Transformers animated series. The information is from the UK broacasting industry magazine called Broadcast. The image states that the series is coming in 2008 and will feature twenty six thirty minute episodes and one ninty minute episode. You can view the image
here.
Looking at the logo, and the information on the article, it confirms that the show will indeed be US based (26 episodes rather than 52), the logo itself is very Toonami style. The name Transformers Animated may well be the final name for the show. Official word will most probably come out at BotCon during the Hasbro panel.

BigBot, of
The TF.net, spotted that the
UK portion of the US Transformers Movie webiste has been updated with a UK release date of the 29th June 2007! This is quiet interesting as its almost a month before the scheduled release date. When we last spoke to representative at Paramount UK last week regarding checking the European reported release dates, they were still working toward a UK release date of the 27th July. Could it be that in the last few days something has happened to change their mind? Perhaps the international release date list I sendt them for the movie.
Stay tuned to Transformers @ The Moon as we hope to bring you some official comments from Paramount in the next week.

Thanks to Lars Eriksson of
NTFA and the
Trans-Europe-Express Group for getting confimation from Hasbro's Nordic offices that the Transformers line is indeed the Best-Selling boys toy in Nordic countries.
Fighbird, Taggenagger and I visited Hasbro Nordic's offices and the senior brand manager this last Wednesday, to discuss how the NTFA and Hasbro Nordic can cooperate in marketing the film, and among many other things we were informed that Transformers is indeed the best-selling boy's toys in the Nordic countries, before brands like Spider-Man and Ninja Turtles.

Some interesting movements in the
Transformers Trademarks area this morning, thanks to the USPTO. First up is a new mark which Hasbro have filled for called
Transformers: Hybrids. This mark is still filed in the "toy action figures, toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms section". The serial number is 76675018 and previous registration numbers for the mark are 1348237,2445261,2798576.
The second update is that the mark for Decepticon Frenzy (serial number of 76665019) has had it's status updated to "passed to LIE". It will be interesting to see if this mark is used on a US release of the MP3 Soundwave Frezy headphones.
