Jim Sorenson has updated his blog, Disciples of Boltax, with a new entry entitled "The Ark Addendum - Boeing 757 and The AllSpark Almanac returns". Here is Jim's description of the entry:
"Today's Addendum, and theme I'll explore for the next couple of weeks,
is the Airplane models from the third episode of Masterforce, Kidnapping!? The Targeted Jumbo Jet.
The Destron baddies captured airplane-loads of people to turn them into
the Destroids, a zombie-like force. Creepy stuff! This is the model
for Mont Port Air Flight 308."
Jim also blogs a little more on the return of the AllSpark Almanac and how its return came about.

Following on from the recent announcement of the Japanese release of Beast Wars II, the box art has now been released, and can be viewed below. Beast Wars II was a Japanese exclusive series that was produced to fill the gap between Japanese dubs of Beast Wars and led on to the follow-up series Beast Wars Neo. There has been no official word on whether Beast Wars Neo will be released on DVD though, personally, we are expecting that announcement shortly after the release of Beast Wars II. It is also our prediction that the series will be subbed into English and released via Shout Factory in either late 2012 or during 2013. Again there is no official confirmation of this yet, it is purely a prediction by Transformers At The Moon.
If you like Beast Wars II or want to find out more then why not check out our Toy Gallery where we have photographed many of the figures or our Prototype section that contains some pages from the animations sheets and character designs. You'll be seeing more behind the scenes details from Beast Wars II over the coming months here at Transformers At The Moon as we own hundreds of pages of character models from the show as well as some original scripts.

Jim Sorenson has updated his blog, Disciples of Boltax, with the transformation sequence for the trainbot Yukikaze. Previously Jim has posted the transformation sequences for four other members of the Trainbots, Shouki, Getsui, Seizan and Suiken but he is missing the sequence for Kaen and the gestault form Raiden. We will check through our own character / model sheets to see if we have the missing pages but in the meantime here is Jim's thoughts on the character.
BTW, Yukikaze translates roughly to "Snow Breeze." It's a fairly common
name in Anime and Manga, especially for cold-based characters. The
name itself would be reused in Beast Wars II as the space ship
(non-sentient) for the Maximals.

Our thanks go out to Rohan Mohindra, Bluestreak56, for submitting the following news
"I was just doing some BW research on Depth Charge and came across a good old G1 fav Devcon. To no surprise he was voiced by John Stephenson (very similar to Windcharger's tones) and I was saddened to learn from wikipedia that he passed away just 10 days ago.
John voiced many G1 characters including:
Alpha Trion
Bosch
Devcon
Hector Ramirez
Huffer
Kup
Professor Haley
Thundercracker
Windcharger
Of all the voice actors who participated in all four seasons of the G1 cartoon, John Stephenson was the only one who did not lend his voice to The Transformers: The Movie.
I particularly enjoyed his Windcharger, Kup, Thundercracker and Devcon voices..
Thanks John"

Our thanks go out to Gruff for directing me, on Facebook, to a Yahoo Movies article that reveals Frank Welker as the most successful actor in history. Yes EVER. Mr Welker's movies have grossed a whopping £7.9 billion ($12.8 billion) at the box office. He beats out Samuel L Jackson who is 2nd on the list with £6 billion ($9.78 billion dollars).
You can read the full article here where I encourage you to comment on the article and help spread the appreciation for Frank's work

Jim Sorenson has updated his blog with a new Ark Addendum entry Lightfoot's Transform. Lightfoot was the name for Getaway in Japan, and he appeared in the cartoon Transformers Super God Masterforce. As always here's Jim to introduce the piece.
"Hail and well met, loyal blogosphere! It's time for another edition of
The Ark Addendum. Since I've been hitting the US cartoon for the past
few weeks, I thought I'd bounce over to Japan for another nifty
Transformation. This week, it's Lightfoot!"

Jim Sorenson has updated his blog the Disciples of Boltax with his latest Ark Addendum update. This weeks update is called "Brainstorm's Tranformation sequence" and can be found here.
Jim describes the entry as "And what is normal, for me, if not character models? This time, I bring
you another Ark Addendum transformation sequence. This is for
Headmasters Brainstorm. While there are really only two intermediate
steps in this transform, the second one (step 3 of 4) is pretty action
packed. Hope you enjoy! "

First I would like to say sorry to Jim Sorenson for posting this news story almost a week after the event, but better late than never I suppose. Last Tuesday Jim updated his blog Disciples of Boltax, with the latest Ark Addendum which was entitled Enter the Nightbird (part 2). As the name suggests this entry follows on from a previous Ark Addendum, one that was posted by in Feb before Jim started to focus on the Ron Friedman auctions. The post continues with some character models from the episode and includes a bonus download of the Partial Script for Enter the Nightbird: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5BWK6K3U
