Three years ago Brett Reynolds who you may have known as Toughboot, Jammie Jammie or Primus or various Transformers message boards including our own and Auto Assembly passed away. Brett was a good and very much valued friend and is still missed greatly by those who's lives he touched.
Today also marks the 4th anniversary of the bombings here in London, so we urge you to take a moment to remember those who are no longer with us.
Here's to you Brett, the world is still not the same without you
Brett Reynolds - 4th August 1978 - 7th July 2006

We're back!!
I've merged the databases and so we've recovered all the missing website information. We've lost two days worth of message board data, but there awas not a great deal as this site was down for most of saturday and I kept taking things offline on Sunday. We're also now on the new server which is more powerful with a faster process, faster and larger disks and twice as much RAM. We've not got the bandwidth we had, but what we have should be enough for now though I'll keep an eye on it incase we start getting fined.
Everything should be working okay, though if you see any strange characters let me know as we've jumped versions of both PHP and MYSQL from older ones to the current releases, plus the database character set and collation have also been changed
Thanks
Quartz on behalf of the Transformers At The Moon twins

For those keeping track I can now tell you that we have re-gained access to our old server and that I will be looking are merging the database from that server with the current one on here later tonight. During the merge the website will be unavailable for approximately 5-15 minutes. In order to complete the merge, I will be populating the database on the old server with any new news stories and galleries and then will be moving that merged version back onto this server, correct any collation or other issues. The result should mean a full restoration of the missnig galleries, news stories, trademarks, trademark history records etc, but we will be missing the weekends messatge board posts.

After yesterday morning's problems we've managed to get the majority of our websites back up and running Transformers Animated, Lucky Draw Transformers and AFA Transformers are all back online, with Transformers Animated just missing episode summaries for the last 2 months (all the galleries are back).
Transformers At The Moon is now back working, missing two galleries, 2 months of news and most noticibly having problems with the stylesheet for the message board.
We will be looking at trying to resolve the remaining issues later today.

We have added a new gallery to the
Toy Gallery area of the website which is of our latest purchase the recently released
Masterpiece Grimlock figure. The toy is another exceptional piece from the largest (in terms of size) line that Transformers are sold under. You can find 64 images include the toy in robot and dinosaur mode as well as dinosaur mode comparisons with Generation One Grimlock, Generation Two Grimlock, WST Dinorobot Commander amoungst others.

Just to prove that miracles can happen we have not only updated the our Transformers Store Locator to not only remove Woolworths (finally) and also to add in the Forbidden Planet stores but we have also fixed the bug that stopped the "radius" selection working correctly. Before it always checked within 10 miles of the located postcode where as now it uses the radius you select again. How long this has been wrong we can only guess. The store locator never officially came out of beta which says a lot as to how much I've worked on it over the last 3 years.
In a related bug fix the "Store Locator" quick jump box at the top of everypage is also now back working again!
A quick word of warning though, althought the distances are worked out down to 10 metres of the postcode you enter, the database we use was purchased back in 2003, so if your postcode has changed since, or you live in a new area, it wont work. If this is the case, please get in touch with us with your details and we will try to update the records. For those wondering we do not use longitude / latitude co-ordinates we they were not accurate enough for the initial scope of the project that spawned the store locator, though their support was in the original spec for non-UK based data.
