I hope that everyone is having a great time. To celebrate the holiday season we, and myself and Dave, have decided to publish one of the new articles for our "currently being revamped" Visionaries website www.TheVisionaries.net early. So as of right now you visit the website and find out about "Visionaries Reborn".

The article will take briefly take you through the last 4 years of history for the Visionaries brand enabling you to see what has been going on, why and where things are heading, or at least are trying to head. We have also included some concept art relating to the Visionaries Reborn project.

Without further ado, we present to you "Visionaries Reborn" - http://bit.ly/13Eeo6K

Disclaimer: Some of the information may seem a little sparse, but since the project is ongoing and we do not want to be sued, we have decided to leave out certain documents right now, plus we do not have access (currently) to the current or previous Hasbro work which is covered by various NDAs anyway.

Let us know your thoughts on Visionaries Reborn via Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus. What do you think of the new concept designs? The new "lifeforce" transitions, the current state of the project and any other feedback you may have.

Transformers: Age of Extinction concept designer, Robert Simons, has updated his website with his designs for Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Lockdown, and Lockdown's ship. You can view mirrors of the designs, which differ greatly from the final designs, below.

TakaraTomy designer Shogo Hasui has tweeted an image of an original concept design for a the figure that would go on to become Prowl, Bluestreak and Smokescreen. The image, which can be viewed below, is instantly recognisable though you will also spot obvious differences with the head. The original tweet was:

当時のプロールのコンセプトスケッチの一つ。肩の変形や頭部が異なるのが面白 いです。ここからさらにブラッシュアップされて、あの形にたどり着いているん ですね。#TT_TF pic.twitter.com/PW1o3tWMWR

To celebrate hitting 500 likes, Paul has updated The Space-Bridge's new Facebook page with a look at the history of Octane.  The images include some concept artwork from the TakaraTomy archives, as well as another image from their archive of an early figure which has significant design differences to the final product and finally a couple of images of the released toy along side one of the prototypes Paul has or the originally planned "chrome fist" version.  Check them out by clicking the link above

Paul Hitchens has updated The Spacebridge's Facebook page with another reconstructed deleted scene from the 1986 Transformers: The Movie animated feature film.  This latest video is the original sequence which was planned for Ultra Magnus' death.  Readers of the Marvel comics adaptation will recognise the way Magnus meets his end but this confirms that it was the original way in which he was going to be killed.

If you would like to see further recreations like this then we encourage you to head over to the Space-Bridge page on Facebook and like it to help show Paul your appreciation of the material he is sharing.

Christopher Vacher has updated his DeviantArt account with some new Transformers Prime concept artwork. The art features Orion Pax pleading in the Cybertron council halls, the Unicron Spark Chamber and Dynamo being held in the Nemesis Cargo hold. You can view the artwork by following the link at the start of this article.

In a guest post over on Jim Sorenson's blog, Disciples of Boltax, Monzo has posted an article reference and re-producing some storyboards from the first ever cartoon episode of Transformers, More Than Meets The Eye, that were sold on Heritage Auctions way back in 2002.  The images show some high resolution scans of ten pages of storyboards which make some interesting analysis.
