Optibotimus has uploaded his latest video review which is none other than the upcoming Headrobots Centurion upgrade kit for G1 Fortress Maximus.

KOToys.com recently announced that a Knock-Off Weirdwolf will be released before the end of the year. The figure will also be released at the same time as another knock-off set of knock-off Headmaster heads. Both toys followup from the release of Abominus who will be released at any time.
You can view all of the images of this figure here and we suggest comparing them to the original toy so you can tell the difference. You can also find a selection of images below.
For those not keeping up with the knock-off releases the recently released fake Japanese Dinosaur cassettes are already being sold on Yahoo Japan as the originals for high prices which is a trend that is expected to continue over the coming months as well as spreading to western auction sites such as eBay

Jim Sorenson has updated his blog, Disciples of Boltax, with a brand new The Ark Addendum titled Weirdwolfs Transform. The entry focuses on the extended transformation sequence for Weirdwolf.
If you like Character sheets you will be pleased to know that another batch arrived with us helping us complete sheets from every Transformers series from Beast Wars II through Transformers Animated which we will be sharing with you all.
Jim Sorenson has updated his blog with a new Ark Addendum entitled "Suiken Transform". Continuing on from last week, this entry focuses on another member of the Trainbots. You can view the toy gallery for Suiken here.
Jim Sorenson has updated his blog with a new Ark Addendum entry called Shouki's Transform. As you can imagine the section features the transformation sequence for the trainbot Shouki from the Japanese Transformers Headmasters series.

Artist, Guido Guidi, has updated his deviantART page with a preview image that is from the comic story that will be included in Million Publishing's Transformers Generations 2011 Volume 2 book. The image features Headmasters Chromedome and Highbrow along with Transformers United Stepper and Kup. You can view the image by clicking the link above.
Here is how Guido described the piece:
"Courtesy of Million Publishing, here's a sneak peek preview of the comic that will be included in the Vol.2 of Transformers Generations 2011!
In
this panel: United Stepper (the new exclusive targetmaster toy), United
Sergeant Kup and... Headmasters Chromedome & Highbrow "old marvel"
style...
Looks like the United continuity in Japan recovered old paths
Stay tuned for more!

Jim Sorenson has updated his blog the Disciples of Boltax with his latest Ark Addendum update. This weeks update is called "Brainstorm's Tranformation sequence" and can be found here.
Jim describes the entry as "And what is normal, for me, if not character models? This time, I bring
you another Ark Addendum transformation sequence. This is for
Headmasters Brainstorm. While there are really only two intermediate
steps in this transform, the second one (step 3 of 4) is pretty action
packed. Hope you enjoy! "

Jim Sorenson has updated his blog with another Ark Addendum, this time entitled Crosshairs, TRANSFORM!
The entry focuses on the transformation sequence of Autobot Targetmaster Crosshairs and his targetmaster partner Pinpointer (Pointech in Japan). Here's Jim to tell you a little about it.
"Today I'm feeling like getting away from the Sunbow cartoon and dancing
over to Japan. We haven't done a Transform sequence in a while, so how
about... Crosshairs!
One thing that's a bit odd about the sequence is how we see his
Targetmaster fly away from him in the second step... but then Pinpointer
(or Pointech, if you're feeling the Japanese love) isn't on the model
in step one. Whoops! Anyway, enjoy!
"

Its the 14th November 2010 in Japan now (as that are ahead) and as such it is 24 years to the day that Transformers 2010 (Headmasters) first aired and to commemorate this e-Hobby have updated their website with a page dedicated to Transformers United. The page contains silhouettes of Scourge, Galvatron, Cyclonus, Rodimus, Kup and Wreck-Gar. What is not clear is whether this means that there will be e-Hobby exclusive Transformers United figures coming soon, or just thast they will be stocking the toys.
You can view the page here.

Million Publishing have updated their website with some details, as well as a sample image of the cover, of their forthcoming Transformers Generations 2010 book. The book, which is due for release on the 19th November 2010, will include information on the third live action Transformers Movie, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, though that its still tentative so it may be removed before the book is published. It will also cover every item that was released within Japan in 2010 as well as some of the Transformers Revenge items to be released in 2011. If that was not enough the book will contain a special anniversary look at Transformers Headmasters (Fight 2010, Transformers Super Robot) including interviews with Ishimaru Hiroya (Rodimus Convoy), Seizō Katō (Galvatron) and Tashima Shiyou (the Japanese director).
Excited yet? No? Okay well the book does not end there. It will also contain a special historic piece on Rodimus Convoy which will build up to a detailed look at the Masterpiece figure. If you are a Transformers Animated fan, the book will contain pictures of every figure released in Japan in 2010 as well as toys that will be released in 2011, yes there are more Transformers Animated toys coming to Japan in 2011.
Finally the book will cover Transformers United! including publishing a new comic called "A New Battle" by Tsushima Naoto and a look at all the figures. Here is a preview of the cover.
All this will be covered in 96 pages. The books ISBN is 978-4-8130-2130-8

Jim Sorenson has updated his blog, Disciples of Boltax, with a new Ark Addendum entry. This weeks entry, which will have a follow-up, is entitled The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts! The entry features Pipiro, an orphan from the South American village of Pan, and his friend a donkey named Koro. The sheet contains a funny size comparison of Pipiro and Koro. For those scratching their heads, these characters are from the Japanese Headmasters series.
The character sheet was given to Jim by myself a month or so ago when I found around 200 character sheets that I had misplaced and so I scanned them all in and sent them along to Jim so he could look through and let me know if he was missing any. It turned out that there were a couple of sheets he hadn't got, so I rescanned them for him and now they have been touched up and officially part of the Ark Addendum.

Great news for fans of Headmasters as HeadRobots.com have now announced that they will be releasing a brand new head master figure which is based on the Generation One concept art for a Headmaster snake figure. The toys are $18 dollars and they will be distributed to Japan, the US, Canada and the Europe. You can view plenty of images and read more about this project by visiting the HeadRobots.com website. They are already working on the 2nd release in the series
Remember that these are non-Hasbro products.

Jim Sorenson has updated his blog with three new entries regarding some character designs that did not make it into the Ark series of books. The first is the model sheet for Fortress Maximus' transformation sequence, the second is the two of the alien prisoners he posted the other day and finally he also posted his take on why there's two different Headmasters designs for Crosshairs and other characters when you compare the Japanese series to the US series.
We have updated our Transformers Toy Gallery section with seven new Transformers galleries. The galleries are :-
