Not Transformers related but Andy Wildman has updated his blog to let everyone know that the Mech RC comic will be released in the UK before the US.

The comic features robts designed by Andy Wildman and Don Figueroa

Thanks to Jim from Mech-RC for sending us the following press release regarding a line that both Andrew Wildman and Don Figueroa have designed mechs for, though not Transformers related, you may still find it of interest.

After over two years in development, MechRCTM will finally be seeing its commercial launch this holiday season.  MechRC will be available at all good hobby retailers and directly from the MechRC store (www.mechrc.com) from September priced at around US$599

MechRCTM is the latest and, in our opinion, the most user friendly humanoid robot to hit the hobby/collectors market so far. Featuring 17 independently driven high speed, high torque, servos, MechRCTM is capable of performing astounding acts of agility all under your command straight out of the box.

Other features include:
Fully featured 3D motion editor software allowing you to create your own motions and action sequences
User friendly remote controller, allows you to control your robot just like a video game character
Lithium Polymer battery pack, provides up to 45 minutes run time
Built in audio for playback of .wav sound files
Fully upgradeable through firmware download as well as electronic and mechanical “hop-ups”
Body styling by the legendary Transformers artist, Andrew Wildman
Interchangeable body shells, designed by Transformers fan-favourite artist Don Figueroa

For an example of what MechRCTM can do, check out the excellent “Evolution of Robotic Dance” which is based on the Judson Laipply’ smash hit YouTube video “The Evolution of Dance"

Simon Furman has posted an update on his blog with some details, and cover image, for the Titan Magazine Transformers Issue 4. Here's what he had to say :-

It’s out this week, Thursday 11th October to be precise, the fourth issue of Titan’s superlative Transformers comic/magazine. And this issue is extra-special, as it features all-new art from the one and only Don Figueroa (Transformers Movie Prequel, Beast Wars The Ascending)!

Movie Devastator comes under the spotlight in a new 10-page comic strip, written by me and drawn by Don. Is he as dumb as his G1 counterpart? Well, yes. But he’s also equally as brutal and destructive, and when he finds himself with no easy prey to crush, watch out!

As always with these solo but interlinked stories, there are guest appearances aplenty from other characters from the new TF-movie. Plus, more strip, a profile for Blackout and a titanic, expanded head-to-head smackdown between Optimus Prime and Megatron! Oh, and free pin badges! What more could you ask for.
