You can now find out image gallery from the UK Action Force / GI Joe / Transformers Convention Roll Out Roll Call 2012.

We have videos to upload for you and hope to get some more images from Barry Shaw to add to the gallery.

We'd like to apologise for the lack of coverage of Roll Out Roll Call. Out plans were to add on news live regarding the Mastermind Creations Nova Prime, Thundercracker and Skywarp figures, along with confimation that Ultra Magnus will feature in Regeneration, Bludgeon returns, the Seacons return and that "some characters will return, but not how you think of them" .. but my mobile dongle couldn't get a decent connection to the site.

Here is a very quick summary.

Mastermind Creations

• Cyclops was on show. Anyone wondering about the build quality, don't.  It's 100x better then the Night Morpher Prime toys.
• The figures for 2012 are
  • Hexitron (3 versions)
  • Screech (Hearts of Steel Starscream)
  • Warper (Hearts of Steel Skywarp)
  • Screamer  (Hearts of Steel Thundercracker)
  • Nova Prime (with trailer for small robot and combined form)

Transformers Regeneration

• Characters designed to look like you remember them, not to look exactly like they did
• Some characters have been "repaired"
• Soundwave will appear Purple in flashbacks, but Blue in "current" day
• Seacons will be in it
• Ultra Magnus will make his US debut in the "original universe"
• Bludgeon will return
• Octopunch - "some characters will return, but will have changed from how you remember them"
• Nucleon will be in it, and resolve the outstanding issues (such as Grimlock not being able to Transform).  Looking at what impact is had on characters such as Blaster etc.  (aybe he'll turn Blue into Twincast??)
• Cover for 81 features Megatron on a thrown saying "what took you?"

GI-Joe Character Book

• Features character, vehicle and some backgrond art from Season One.  Current title is "GI-Joe Field Manual Volume 1".
• More text then in the Transformers Ark Books, this contains Character Bios, information and "real life" statistics for the vehicles.
• If it sells well then they may be a volume 2 -  Jim and Bill are already compiling information on a Season 2, movie and DIC
• They'd love to do a GI-Joe Renegades book, though there is currently nothing planned

Action Force

• Dave Tree showed off unreleased Action Force toys
• Desgins and concepts of unreleased figures and vehicles were shown
• Dave confirmed he is working on a book covering the history of Action Force, and including the unreleased material

It's less than 2 and 1/2 hours until Roll Out Roll Call gets underway in Southampton in Hampshire.

There have been a few snags on setup day, and prior to the event, but everyone was in good spirits yesterday during setup.  There are around 12 dealers in attendence selling Action Force, GI Joe, Transformers, Masters of the Universe, 3rd Party goods, Thundercats, Tick and various other toylines.

Several of the domestic and international guests have already been spotted and are raring to go.

The event lasts Saturday and Sunday, starts at 10:00 today and tickets are available on the door for day passes.

Mastermind Creations will be showing off what the next 12 months will see with some exclusive reveals, the first time a UK show has a big reveal for Transformers (all be it a Third Party Company).

The new Cobra Commander

Two more LA-based guests announced for Roll Out / Roll Call 2012!

We're 16 weeks away from Europe's largest combined G.I-Joe / Action ­Force and Transformers show Roll Out / Roll Call 2012 and it is with great pleasure that Transformers At The Moon can exclusively reveal the names of two more guests for the show.

The pair are long time fans of both Transformers and G.I-Joe / Action Force and will be making only their second appearance at a European Convention.  They are well known within the fan communities of both franchises as well as generally being two of the nicest and most interesting people you could meet.  Have you guest who they are yet?

That's right, the guests are none other than Jim Sorenson andd Bill Forster, writers of the both the Allspark Almanac books, the Ark Books (all three of them) and most recently Allspark Almanac Addendum (published within issue 6 of the Timelines comic that re-printed The Stunti-con Job).  Jim and Bill will be on hand all weekend to meet, great, sign, and generally hang out with fans of both shows as well as taking to the stage over the weekend to give a presentation and take question on both Transformers and G.I-Joe.

Jim and Bill were extremely popular guests when we bought them over for Auto Assembly 2010 and we have been keen on bringing them back to the UK for another show.  At the same time they are both as keen, if not more so, to come back to the UK and meet up with everyone again and so brings us all great pleasure to have them back on these shores for a show that covers not just Transformers but also G.I-Joe, a series that both these men care about.

So if you were unsure whether to attend Roll Out Roll Call 2012 in Southampton next March, then I hope that this announcement will convince you to attend the event and support it.
