Good news for Transformers Animated fans as Transformers Animated Fireblast Grimlock, the Animated Activiators recolour, has now been released within the US.  TFW2005.com board member Articwave spotted the figure on sale at his local Stop & Shop store

Jim Sorenson has stopped by The Allspark with some exciting news for fellow Transformers Animated fans.  Here is what The Allspark reports "It seems that himself, Bill Forster, Derrick Wyatt and Marty Isenberg are all on board for a second volume of the Allspark Almanac book, should the first book sell well enough. Additionally, Marty Isenberg is also eager to write a "Season 4" for Animated that could be released in comic book form.

So what do you need to do to help get these made? Here's what Jim Sorenson has to say:
The best strategy is to buy one for yourself, advocate to people who might be interested, and above all make some noise. Let IDW and Hasbro know that you like the book by posting on their forum or publishing an amazon review - preferably both. Bill and I (and Marty and Derrick) are super-keen to do the follow-up volume and finish out season 3. I know Marty is itching to do a virtual season 4 in comic book form too. Right now, TPTB will be looking at this volume as a bellwether."

If you are a fan of Transformers Animated and can get to Burbank California on Saturday the 22nd August then you'll be very pleased to hear that a Allspark Almanac signing will be taking place between 2 and 3pm at the Emeral Knights, 4116 W Burbank Blvd, Burbank, CA 91505.  You can ring then on (818) 588-3631.  The authors of the book Jim Sorenson and Bill Foster will be on hand along with Derrick Wyatt himself.

EJ Su has updated his deviantArt account with some behind the scene images from when he was working on some Transformers Animated concepts for Cartoon Networks

I just found these photos in my hard drive the other day and totally forgot that I had them. They were taken when I spent a week working on Transformers Animated concept at Cartoon Network Studios.

The sketches on the wall of the cubicle was just little portion of the sketches I did, I wish I scanned the sketches just for sake-keep.

Looking back, I wouldn't mind working there at the studios. The place is quiet, full of supplies and equipments, not to mention free drinks and snacks, as well as a giant TV and comfortable sofa to relax in. The last and not least, I get to watch some screening of the cartoons in production whenever available. Sweet!!
