Due to a network glitch our live webserver expired last night rather than being renewed for 3 months whilst we worked on the new server. As we hadn't been planning on moving the site over just yet, and as the old webhosts are hard to contact (they are only open 5 days a week anyway), we have had to revert back to a backup database which was taken on 29th March 2009.

As you can guess, and see, this means that 2 months worth of news stories, Transformers Animated episode reviews and latest Transformers toy galleries have been lost. Whilst we can recreate the image galleries and episode guides the news stories are lost to time ... and the WayBackEngine.

We had already mirated our email over to the new server, as well as a few other domains, but our larger domains were left on the old site. Here's a basic summary of what has been lost:

Transformers At The Moon - 2 months of news stories, 2 months of message board posts, message board configurations, two toy galleries (Gold Big Convoy and Silver Big Convoy) along with various feeds and robots.
Transformers Animated - 2 months of episode galleries / reviews, new character listings, 2 months of news stories
Lucky Draw Transformers - 2 months of news stories
AFA Transformers - any ebay auction information from the last 2 months
The Visionaries.net - everything
Steven Mapes.com - everything
Project Rock Education - not effected
Hertfordsire School of Rock - not effected

We are slowly trying to bring the sites back up, starting with Transformers Animated.com, and will look to re-populate the missing data as best we can. The message board will remain unavailable for the interim period, as we need to investigate the full damage.

This has happend at the worst time for us, due to work commitments, so please bear with us whilst we rebuild the site. For those asking why it wasn't backed up more regularly. It was, only that backup server was part of the same hosting package which has expired as the payment was not processed fully due to a network glitch.

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.

As a bit of a preview for Auto Assembly 2009 we've created two new galleries containing our second Gold Big Convoy as well as a Silver Big Convoy toy.

Both figures are NOT Lucky Draw Transformers, and their origins are very suspect, but if you like rare chrome toys then we think you will like these.

The toys will feature at Auto Assembly (if there is any space in our display cabinets) as part of a "Non-Lucky Draw Transformers" display which will appear alongside our Lucky Draw Transformers toy display.

An auction has appeared on ebay for a Chrome Silver Transformers Movie Protoform Optimus Prime toy.

The figure is not one of the official TV Magazine Transformers Movie campaign Lucky Draw Transformers released in 2007, but certainly looks pretty nice.  The toy is either a fake, custom, testshot or staff item (we feel either the first or third).

You can see all the images in our Transformers Prototype area.

We have finally gotten around to updating out Lucky Draw Transformers Henkei Galvatron gallery with out of packaging pictures (both Robot and Tank mode - the third mode is still to be done), along with a couple of images with the the toy along side Gold Henkei Convoy and Silver Henkei Convoy.

An ebay auction has appeared for the Transformers Micron Legend Jetfire figure (Transformers Armada Jetfire).

You can see a ful gallery of this figure on Lucky Draw Transformers, and the auction by clicking the first link.

It's been a little while since thsi figure has appeared on Western auction sites.

Update: An auction for Gold Convoy, the other half of the Micron Legend JetConvoy toy has also appeared.

eBay seller GoldPrime currently has two auctions on ebay for the TV Magazine 2008 Lucky Draw Gold Galvatron toys.  One if boxed (which was listed last week) and the other is loose.  You can view the auctions here and here.  Dont forget that you can check out our own gallery of this figure right here.

Following on from our three "BotCon toy sample" galleries, we've released the fourth new gallery to the site today.  This time it's TV Magazine Lucky Draw Gold Convoy who gets the spotlight.

The figure is limited to 5 prizes, in the TV Magazine draw (which ran in December), although three additional testshots have appeared (and been sold) to collectors.  The gallery highlights the three differences found on the toys, as we ponder the question of what the final released prize campign toy will look like.  Usually it takes between 3 and 4 months for the prize toys to make it onto the collectors market.

Stay tuned to Lucky Draw Transformers and Transformers At The Moon for more Lucky Draw Transformers galleries later this month.

Thanks to Snakas and MillionHero for providing information on the Transformers Generations 2009 book, the third incarnation of this Japanese Transformers collectors book.

The new edition of the book, updated from the Transformers Generations Deluxe book, will contain more Transformers toys and images, including newer figures, will be available in three parts and offers a limited toy.

Previously the Secret Starscream and Gold Primus (God Primus and many sites incorrectly call the toy) were the prizes for the campaigns run in the previous two books.

The Transformers Generations Deluxe book is pretty hard to find now, and features artwork and concepts for many unreleased Generation One toys.

Volume one is due in February, volume 2 in April (at the Super-Festival) and the third and final volume is due in June.

Yahoo Japan! seller klub_1977 has posted an auction for TV Magazine December 2008 lucky draw prize toy Transformers Henkei Gold Galvatron Figure.  This is the first time that images of the actual figure have been made public.  Previously, only the magazine image had been seen.

As a Christmas present to all the visitors to Transformers At The Moon we've uploaded a new Transformers toy gallery to the site.  The new gallery is of the Transformers Henkei Chrome Silver Convoy figure, a few of which have recently appeared on ebay.

eToysHunter is currently selling a few knock-off silver chrome Transformers Henkei Convoy toys on ebay.  The toys are now being sold pretty cheap, and if like us, you like the figure in the all silver colour scheme, although understand it's non-official status, then you may be interested in the auction.

Don't worry, we won't be bidding against you, we've already got one on the way.

To celebrate the 9th anniversary of the founding of Transformers At The Moon you will now find 3 new Transformers toy galleries in our Transformers toy section as well as an update on a Lucky Draw Transformers gallery with a figure which we now own.

The new galleries feature three out of the four new Transformers Binaltech toys (we've not photographed BT-22 Convoy yet), in the form of:-

• Transformers Binaltech - BT-19 - Bluestreak
• Transformers Binaltech - BT-20 - Argent Meister
• Transformers Binaltech - BT-21 - Arcee

In addition to these three new galleries, we are  very proud to bring to you a full image gallery of one of the older, and much rarer, Lucky Draw Transformers figures.  This toy has been owned by three collectors since it was first sold on  eBay a few years back (and we have tracked it ever since).

• Japanese Beast Wars Transformers - Gold Megatron (said to be limited to 3, probably limited to 10 in the world).

The lucky draw toy listings page on LuckyDrawTransformers.com has been updated with a new filter menu which enabled you to filter the lucky draw toys by toyline, year offered or source.  To open the menu simple click on the "Filter Toy List" link on that page and a menu will appear on the right handside.  To close the menu, click on the "Close Filter" button at the bottom of the menu.

We are pleased to continue our Lucky Draw theme of updates with an update to our exclusive image gallery of the TV Magazine Gold Transformers Movie Voyager Class Optimus Prime figure with six new images showing a boxed version of the toy that we recently purchased. This boxed version has at least one variation to the loose version that we own. You can view the image gallery at Lucky Draw Transformers.com as well as Transformers At The Moon. Don't forget, that if you are after Lucky Draw information, or just images on other Lucky Draw figures, then stop by the only dedicate lucky draw website in the world, www.luckydrawtransformers.com

If you want to discuss Lucky Draws, then the perfect place for that is on the Lucky Draw board of our message board.
