As you are all probably aware by now I have spent the last 10 months buying a house.  It took 6 months to get to the completion and another 4 months of repairs, decorating and moving, but now I'm 80% unpacked and so I thought I would share a preview of the new dedicated Transformers display room (which has also been dubbed "The Transformers Museum") with you all.

Now, I am still unpacking some of the toys and so the layout in the cabinets it not yet finalised (and there is another cabinet still to do) but you'll get the idea of how things are going to be displayed.  Once everything is out and in the correct place I will take create a full image gallery of "the Transformers museum" as well as the other figures that I also have out on display as well as putting together a video tour, oh yes, it needs a tour ;), but that is another day.  For now you will find one preview image attached to this news story, another preview image on our Facebook page and the third preview image on our Google Plus page, so you'll need to click around a few places to see them all.

Hello!! After almost a month of not having access to the Internet at home, having recently moved, I am glad to announced that as of this afternoon my new home finally has working internet connectivity.  I am truely sorry for the lack of updates on every front over the last few months.  I finalised the deal on my house at the end of January but the renovations that were required to install the central heating, fix the drains, generally sort out the property, pack everything and move has taken some time to come together.  Indeed I am still unpacking figures into their new display cases which will probably go on for another 2-3 weeks.  I also still need to move comics and any other figures I've forgotten about, so the final displays may not be in place until late June or even July.  As you can no doubt imagine this has meant that I've been even busier than my professional life normally keeps me as has my brother, but how that internet access is back working again I will slowly start to catch up with content again.  Moving has given me the chance to look at many of the figures I had forgotten about which has made me even more determined to get back to photographing and reviewing everything to share with the rest of the Transformers fandom.  I've also dug out more original paperwork from the Sunbow production meetings which I will slowly create articles from to share several pieces of information which will probably be new to you all.

Once again I am sorry for the delay and whilst things may be a little slow still whilst I get back upto speed, I hope that I will be able to bring new, fresh and focused content and updates for you all to enjoy. Whilst the website has taken a back seat in my life over the lasy 5-6 years it still plays an important part of who I am as I have met many good friends through this site either directly or indirectly since starting it back in October 1999 and that is something that I am always extremely grateful for.

So please, raise a glass, I'm back on the web and that means Transformers will be back on The Moon!!

After recently moving, and having no internet line - both of which have drammatically affected our work on the site (2 months of work on Steve's house) we should finally be getting the Internet back in around 2 to 3 weeks time.

The good news is that with the extra space we've got easier access to the toys, so hopefully we can get back to filling up the blanks in our toy gallery section.

As you must have noticed the lack of updates to the website over the last 8 months has continued to increase.  This is because I am currently completing moving house into a place I bought at the end of Jan.  Due to this I have limited access to the internet outside of work and during this same period I have been promoted which has bought with it increased responsibilities and working hours.  Sadly something had to give and it has been my free time and hobbies that have taken the brunt.  I am hoping to re-address this once I complete the house move and have a working internet connection, but for now I just wanted to say please bare with me, I've not forgotten about this place, I'm just super-snowed with work and moving but ultimate both will be worth it.

To make up for the last few days of missing Beast Wars II Cartoon Image Galleries, we've now posted a quock catch up of 4 galleries, covering episodes 10 to 13, featuring over 1200 new Transformers Beast Wars II images

Beast Wars II Episode 10 - Autorollers Roll Out!

The Destrons continue in their attempts to recreuit the Insectons as warriors to their cause, this time it's the turn of the Autorollers.  Unknown to the Cybertrons, the Autorollers and Insectrons have history, when Autocrusher and his crew previously saved BigMoss.  Using this as leverage, the Autorollers and the Insectrons team up.

Beast Wars II Episode 11 - Danger! Scissor Boy

Following on nicely from the previous episode is more Autoroller and Insectron goodness, though this episode also focuses on the friendship between Tasmania Kid and Scissor Boy.  Once again though very little is seen of Autolauncher

Beast Wars II Episode 12 - Galvatron Rampages

Episode 12 continues with the Autoroller theme, this time actually including the fourth member, Autolauncher.  In this episode teh Autorollers are building a refining station when Scuba stumbeles upon them.  At fisrt the Autorolllers go to attack Scuba, but after the interferance of Starscream and BB, along with a rampage from Galvatron, the Autorollers team up with the Cybertrons to stop the rampaging Galvatron

Beast Wars II Episode 13 - Predacon General Offensive

A nice way to round off today's Beast Wars II catch up is with the first of the "Catch-up" episodes.  Moon and Artimus discuss the recent events on Gaia, with the Insectrons turning up and the suprising history between them and the Autorollers.

We missed a day yesterday on our Beast Wars II cartoon galleries, but we had posted two over the the weekend on one day to make up for it.  So today we're back on schedule with our 9th day of Transformers Beast Wars I updates featuring Episode 9 - The Strongest Tag Team

In this episode Starscream and BB manipulate the Insectrons by getting them drunk, making them fight amongst themselves, with the hope that they will also attack the Cybertrons by confusing them as to which faction is good and which bad.  Tasmania Kid discovers Starscream’s plot and straightens things out with some of the Insectrons, but not before Power Hug and the other Insectrons have a drunken scuffle.

Meanwhile Galvatron awakes and decides to have a drink from the same oil, leading him to go on a drunken rampage across the Insectron forest.

We also discover Big Moss's third mode in this episode, as well as having a nice Chibby Starscream character

Today's gallery of Beast Wars II screen grabs is now online.  Today we look at Episode 8 - Friend of Foe? which introduces even more Insectrons, Scissor-Boy, Drill Nuts and Powerhug.

In this episode we question whether the Insectrons are friends of the Maximals, or enemies, as the three new Insect Robos attack the Cybertrons Tasmanis Kid, Diver and BigHorn, after DrillNuts "Destron Detector" goes off.

Update: The link has now been corrected to the actual gallery

Following straight on from the previous story is todays Beast Wars Second cartoon gallery.  Episode 5 is titled Galvatron Revived and we have over 350 images from the episode.

Galvatron awakes from his offline state. The Cybertron's better beware.

It's a day late but you will now find our gallery for Transformers Beast Wars II Episode 4 - The Lake Trap cover over 350 images from the episode.

Tasmania Kid's eagerness to impress leads to troubles.

The third of our Transformers Beast Wars II Episode Image Galleries is now online,  this time focusing on Episode 3 - Big Horn's Rage

In this episode BigHorn sees red, in more ways than one.  BigHorn's inner animal instincts are kicked off when he sees red objects (the writers got his beast mode confused with a bull, when he is really a bison).  Big Horn also reveals his secret attack, much to the surprise of his Cybertron friends and dismay of the Destrons

The first of our massive Beast Wars II Cartoon Resource Project updates is now available for you to see.  If you go to our Transformers Cartoons area you will find a full image gallery for Episode 1 of Transformers Beast Wars Second titled The New Force Arrives.

I thought I would share a little piece of my personal history with you all today. At the moment I am preparing to move home and whilst sorting through some drawers I came across the book that my brother and I use to note down when ever we bought an action figure, primarily Transformers, and so I thought I would bring you an "On this day in history" moment.

On this day back in 1999 we purchased some Pretenders.  The figures we bought that day were Catilla, Snarler, Bludgeon, Stranglehold, Pincher, Longtooth, Finback, Iguanus and Bugly (I'm pretty sure we also got DoubleHeader at the same time, but he is missing from the book).  We were fans of the pretenders, though the concept was controversial, we liked the designs behing many of the shells and I remember it was a happy day to finally get some of the US wave 2 figures as well as toys of characters that we loved from the Marvel UK days.

Two years later, Jan 29th 2001, we picked up another Transformers figure, this time in the shape of Transmetal 2 Blackarachnia.
