Transformers at the Moon celebrated it's 13th anniversary over the last few days, after officially being online since the end of October 1999. Back then the internet was a much different place. Many of the more popular Transformers websites around now didn't exist. There was no TFW2005, no Seibertron, no TFWiki. Images of Transformers mainly consisted of grainy pictures, standing on tables. We introduced a concept of photographing our Transformers Toys against a white card background, so the figure showed out more, and we knew which images were ours. This plain white background became the mainstay of most Transformers photography for the following decade, and even now many sites still use clear white backgrounds - whilst others have moved onto black or diorama sets.
As our site has grown and trailed off over the 13 years, we've been pleased to bring unique features such as our Trademark Database, UK Store Finder and large Transformers toy resource. Other, less documented, areas of the site include our Beast Wars II Cartoon image gallery. Cartoon concept art, prototypes and design work and of cause our Lucky Draw Collection and resource.
Though the site is a shadow of it's former glory, in terms of updates and visitors (due to "real life commitments") our passion for the toy line we love, and website which we dedicated so much time to continues. Our plans for future concepts and features drive us forward, as we look to bring you something unique and exciting.
We hope you choose to stay with us, and recommend looking though the vast resource of information we have here for you to read through and look at.

Following on from our report on Thursday 25th October, Toy-Hobby World have posted some full scans from the 177th issue of Figure King. Last Thursday we bought you news regarding the contents of the magazine, well now we have mirrored the images, which were originally available here, after the jump.
The Transformers Encore release of Fortress Maximus. The images are the same official stock photos as seen on Amazon and other retailers.
The Transformers Generations Feb 2012 releases are shown, again these are the same stock images used by online retailers of the Fall of Cybertron figures.
Images are shown of the Masterpiece MP-15 Rumble and Jaguar (Ravage) figures as well as MP-16 Buzzsaw and Frenzy. There are also imagesa of MP-10b Black Convoy, Lambor (Sideswipe), Alert (Red Alert) as well as Soundwave with Starscream (the same images that were published within Dengeki Hobby).
The two cap-bots, officially called Kaputicon's are once again shown. The toys come with a one-touch transformation gimmick much like the old Machine Wars and Beast Wars figures.
There are some new imags of the Transformers United figures.
Build Master Prime is shown as is Assualt Master Prime, Tank Master Prime and Marine Master Prime.
For Transformers Prime, Smokescreen, Nemesis Prime and Silas Breakdown are also shown.
Some news images are shown of the EZ Collection Set 2 as well as Cannon / Gattling / Weaponizer Bumblebee. That toy is out in late November within Japan.
Finally, some images of the Bic Camera campaign Arcee figure, as well as the chrome gold Transformers Prime Optimus Prime figure, are shown as well as some Toys R Us campaign Arms Micron figures
In an articles entitled " ‘Transformers: Prime’ producer talks Beasts, mythology, Michael Bay", Transformers Prime producer Jeff Kline has sat down with LA Times to talk Transformers. The article, which can be read in full here, includes the following snippet on Season 3 and a preview of what is to come during the Beast Hunters story arch.
HC: Have you formulated a new three-year plan?
JK: We definitely reconfigured ourselves through Season 3, which we are in production on now. One of the nice things about “Transformers: Prime,” not true of all animated series, is that we have a full-time writing staff. A lot of animated series have to make do with one story editor and freelancers. It can be very hard to plot out long-term stories by yourself in a room. But we have a full-blown writing staff, so we spend a lot of time before we get down to script writing talking about where do we want to go, where do we want the characters to go.
HC: What can people expect in Season 3?
JK: As anybody who’s been watching the show knows, we tend to get bigger and bigger and paint ourselves into corners. So the end of Season 2 will paint us into a corner and hopefully you’ll be surprised at how we get ourselves out of it. For Season 3, we’re actually bringing Beasts into the story, which is a big game-changers. Not necessarily “Beast Wars” way or “Dino-bots” but Beasts, which are part of the Transformers lore. For us, it’s important to be able to justify that previous lore within our own continuity. One of the big things for us is the idea that Earth and Cybertron have been interrelated for eons. The Unicron arc played with that quite a bit. But Season 3 will be even more about how Earth and Cybertron are brother, or twin, planets in some way. And, as we’ve been doing for two seasons, allegiances will change, good guys and bad guys will switch sides, new elements will be brought in and old elements will be sent away. We try to change it up because we always want our Autobots at a disadvantage. From the very beginning, there have always been fewer Autobots than Decepticons, they’re technologically disadvantaged. We’ll continue to try to stack the deck against them.
