When Titan Publishing stopped the UK Transformers: Age of Extinction comic book many thought that it may be a few years until another UK Transformers comic would hit the shelves, well that all changed last Friday when Signature Publishing released the first issue in a new monthly UK Transformers comic called Transformers: Robots In Disguise. The comic will slowly reprint the IDW RiD stories along with new exclusive content for the UK market. Issue 1 is still available in stores right now and comes with a free disk shooting Bumblebee.
Here's a little more information and quotes on what you can expect from the comic book.
The “interactive” magazines features a Transformers toy, exclusive links to unlockable Transformers brand app content and a 20-page comic strip story in every issue.
“We are absolutely delighted to be given the opportunity to publish the official magazine for this iconic brand that targets a new generation of Transformers brand fans,” confirmed Signature’s Managing Director, Danny Morris.
“As with all of Hasbro’s brands, the quality of the assets and storytelling is amazing, while the highly successful animated series and extensive toy marketing campaign will ensure this magazine is a great success.
“We look forward to creating a truly immersive brand experience, playing our part in bringing the characters to life and reigniting the imagination of Transformers: Robots in Disguise magazine readers.”
• Transformers: Robots In Disguise magazine launches on Friday 16th October, priced at £3.49, and comes with a Bumblebee figure disc-blaster plus an additional free comic
Having picked up the first issue from our local Tescos we can confirm that the comic contains two strips, the frist is a reprint of "Fire when ready" which was the Free Comic Book Day issue 0 story from IDW. The second story is titled "Look Before You Leap!" and is written by Richard Mead with art by Fun Publications' artists Dan Khanna and Evan Guantt. The strip is lettered by Terry Sambridge

Thanks to a post on the Transformers Collectors Europe Facebook Group we have confirmation that Hasbro Europe could not meet the demand required to stock Wave 2 of the Combiner Wars in domestic stores though Wave 3 was in high enough demand to warrant it's release. This means that if you are after the toy you will need to look online at retailer such as In-Demand Toys, Kapow, All The Cool Stuff and Masterforce.

Following on from out recent news regarding a UK release for Generations Metroplex I asked Toys R Us UK directly on Facebook as to whether they could give details on the RRP of the figure. Whilst they could not, they (or rather James from their customer support team) did reply stating that they expect him to be released in September with further details on the release date and pricing set to be available on their website nearer the time.
You can see their reply below

Our thanks once again go out to Pete Brown for sending us a further update on the Toys R Us Transfomers situation. In case you have not been keeping up with the recent turn of events, on the 3rd May we reported that TRU UK have had Transformers Generations Voyager Class figures listed within their computer system since Feb though the toys had not hit the shelves. We followed that up on Saturday 4th May with the next piece of news via Pete which confirmed that Generations Metroplex will be released within the UK as a Toys R Us exclusive later in the year. Well as promised Pete has sent us further word on the current situation.
Having spoken once again to the manager at his local Toys R Us Pete was informed that the Toys R Us UK Head Office has actually been in touch with Hasbro UK to find out what has happened to these TRU exclusive figures. The word is that there has been a hold up at Hasbro UKs end which is why the figures have not shipped to UK retail but no specific explanation has been given. The good news is that the Voyager Class figures are now due to hit the TRUs in mid-July with the rest of the deluxes and Metroplex being released shortly after. No specific street date is available for those figures so shortly after could, potentially, be anything from 1 to 4 months.
Stay with us as we will bring you the very latest updates as we get them on this story

Yes, you read that right, the big man is coming to UK high streets!
Pete also let us know there are two assortments of Dexlues and more legends class figures also listed within the Toys R Us computers More news. Just been on phone to manager at toys r us. Titan class metroplex is in their computer as well as two assortment of deluxe and more legends class. Again all tru exclusives. More info to follow on Tuesday hopefully all as TRU exclusives!! Who will they be? Well stay with us as Pete hopes to be able to bring us all further updates on Tuesday.
No street date is currently known for Metroplex, though he is due out in August within the US and the fact that he is already listed does suggest that the UK should not be too far behind.

Our thanks go to Pete Brown for letting us know that he spoke with the manager of Toys R Us Poole here within the UK earlier today, enquiring about the Transformers Fall of Cybertron Generations Voyager Class figures and to his surprise, the manager checked the computer and found that there were Voyager class figures from the Generations line being released within the UK as Toys R Us exclusives!! The second piece of information that he was given, was that the figures have a shelf date of February 2013, as in 3 months ago! Pete was told that the manager believes the figures have "just been held up" but Toys R Us do not know whether they are the FoC figures (which is most likely the case) or whether they are the Asian exclusives.
Pete has promised to update us if he hears more, so we will keep you all updated on this story.

In a strange turn of events Toys R Us UK have posted a reply to a question on Facebook regarding a UK release of Masterpiece Soundwave stating that the figure will be released on these shores in August of this year!! We encourage fans to take this news with a large pinch of salt but if it does happen expect to find fans rejoicing in the asile for this figure.

Hasbro UK have confirmed, via Facebook, that following on from the release of Transformers Prime Volume 2 (Episodes 6-10 of season 1) the rest of the season will be released in June (Decepticons Unleashed) and October (Unlikely Alliancea) with a complete season 1 boxset also being released then. Sadly they have also confirmed that there will be no UK release of Transformers Prime on Blu-Ray meaning that if you wish to enjoy an HD viewing of the series that you will need to import either the US version (with a region free Blu-Ray player) of the Australian Madman release which is the same region as the UK.

Masterpiece Optimus Prime is hitting Toys R Us UK stores this week. If you pop along to your local store and the figure is not already on the shelf you should be able to pre-order the toy for £99 which works out as $155. He's taken his time in arriving but the figure is expected to sell well.
Happy hunting
