If you've not already remembered here's a quick reminder that the new Transformers comic, from Titan Magazines, hits stores later this- Thursday 19th July. The comic should be at all good newsagents, and some bad, so go and get your copy today to help support the UK Transformers comic market.
EDIT: Correct the story / dates of the release of the UK Transformers comic, sorry about the mix-up, it's only subscribers who are receiving the comic 2 days in advance.

A few days ago Simon Furman updated his blog with information ragarding a web-comic based on the TFAuctions Transformers character Cougar.
What began as a humble mascot for Transformers auction website,
TFAuctions, is about to explode into the worlds of Web and comics.
Cougar, the roving robotic dealer in all things rare and perilous, is
set for his own dedicated website and a monthly comic series, both of
which will introduce Cougar (in full) and his all-new cast of
characters.
Cougar himself hit the Web a year or so back, co-created by
myself, artist Guido Guidi and TFAuctions webmaster David Ravenscroft.
He got an alt. mode, a full bio and now he’s got the lot, including
arch nemesis Fenrir and (sort of) sidekick Kick-Start. Cougar’s
official website is due to
go live any time now, and the comic incarnation is set to hit in late
07 (with scripts by me). In meantime, click on the images below for a
taster.
There’s a new one of Cougar himself and a first look at Fenrir.
Keep checking back in for further updates over the course of the next
couple of weeks.

The Wildman himself, Andy Wildman, has updated his blog,
WildWords, with some more information on the Titan Magazines Transformers Issue 3. He says it's a bit odd working with several of the "old guard" from the original Transformers days.

New magazine launch Transformers Comic
This 4-weekly, 52 page comic reunites some of the biggest names in the
business to bring the eternal struggle between Autobots and Decepticons to
audiences old and new. Whether you remember Megatron as a smoking Walther
P-38, or your Transformers adventure begins with their war on our world, the
publication of Transformers Comic heralds a triumphant return for the robots
in disguise...
Legendary Transformers writer Simon Furman brings his dark materials to the
first issue, and many more to come, with all-new self contained stories
tying straight in to the IDW prequels. He teams up with the prolific and
iconic artist Geoff Senior, whos wielding his pencils and inks for the new
Transformers generation.
Once those shapeshifting robots have you hooked, it seems theres no escape:
Transformers Comic editor Steve White started life as a humble colourist on
Marvels Transformers title way back in 86. Now hes transformed into the
driving force behind this title.
Steve White, Editor of Transformers Comic said:
"Its been kind of weird to be returning to Transformers after 20 years,
especially as its with all the same faces I worked with originally Simon,
Geoff, Andy Wildman, Robin Smith, Richard Starkings. Feels like Ive slipped
back in time. But then you take one look at the movie and you realize just
how false that assumption is! Even the comics represent a quantum jump in
technology, and I think well find we have a whole new generation of fans
wholl go see the movie and pick up the comic and have no idea about the
longevity of the franchise and how its evolved! Most of them probably wont
have been born when I first worked on Transformers but the talent of the
artists and writer are still there and its going to be brilliant!"
Kids can catch up with the Transformers characters every four weeks with
Transformers Comic, on sale at all good retailers from 19 July, priced £2.60.

Simon Furman has updated his
blog with the following article (less the punctuation).
Two Script (W)raps to come this week, this one (being Transformers-UK #5) and Transformers Devastation #3.
As it stands, I'm only script-(w)rapping the TF stuff (hey, I know my demographic), skipping the likes of Terminator 2 - Infinity, A.T.O.M., TMNT, etc, but if people out there want it, I can include those too. Let me know.
Right, Titan's Transformers (UK) #5. Ironhide. Having scattered my cast far and wide at the end of issue #2, it's now a matter of starting to bring them together again, and #5 is our first story not set on another world. We open in deep space, as Ironhide (in protoform 'meteor' mode) is caught by… ah, but that'd be telling. Suffice to say that I'm just starting here to explore the possible origins of The Allspark. No one, not even the Cybertronians themselves (including Optimus Prime and Megatron), seem to know exactly where it came from and how/why it found its way to Cybertron, which begs the question (to me at least), where did it come from (and whose was it before)?
Actually, Ironhide's solo outing is a story-within-a-story kind of affair (in ten pages!). We flash back to Cybertron, intro-ing some of the movie toy characters, and get a good look at Ironhide (a sort of more gung-ho, military-minded version of his original, classic incarnation) in full on battle action.
No word yet on the artist for this one. Possibly Guido Guidi, possibly Lee Sullivan (both names that have been floated recently). But there's still a chance (editor) Steve (White) will throw me an artistic curveball here.
Keep watching this space for updates.
