33 There is talk online about some new RiD spychangers coming out. The figures supposedly include Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, X-Brawn and Scourge. Post a comment below if you know more about these.
33 Rumors are flying that there will be no full size Scourge figure relased as part of the RiD line. The Scourge figure was not listed in the initial 2001 product listing rleased by Hasbro earlier this year.
We have had reports of Scourge possibly appearing in one of the basic 2-Packs. Scourge is one of the most anticipated figures to be released from the RiD action figures line. Undoubtly, this will be a major disappointment to fans and collectors. If you have any info on this, please post a comment below.
29 The RiD Season 1 FAQ states "Hasbro is hard at work making an original show for the fall of 2002 that will most likely be a continuation of Beast Machines. This is not only a way to buy time, but to test the market to ensure the success of what they are planning."
There seems to me many roumors floating around about this, but little in the way of real news that confirms the story. Post a cooment if you know more about this.

According to the Toy R Us inventory there is a RiD product listed as "IB Transformer RID Basic 2Pk SKN# 54-2410" that will be selling for $9.99.

Like the Osprey, Ridsidian's twin rotors can tilt forward in order to fly faster. But while the Osprey functions as a troop/equipment transport, Ridsidian is clearly designed for combat. Twin five-barrelled rocket launchers are mounted on his sides and a heavy machine gun is housed underneath his cockpit. Read the review HERE.

38 At a local convention this weekend, (www.totemcon.net), Scott McNeil (Beast Wars/Beast Machines) and Brian Hammond (Beast Machines) were the guests. I (jkierst920) figured since David Kaye and Gary Chalk were doing Armada, I though I'd ask Scott while it was quite. Scott WILL BE A VOICE on Armada, although he said he didn't know which character yet, they DID ask him to do voices for some upcoming shows. VERY COOL NEWS! I didn't get a chance to ask Brian though.

Hasbro informs us that the translucent Spychangers that are showing up at KB Toys, will be an exclusive to KB. However, they will possibly be sold through other retailers in the future. There is no similarity between these and the Car Robots toys. They were made translucent because the Spychangers can turn invisible in their "Stealth mode."

34 After checking the database at Toys R Us today, a G1 Reissue of Starscream is set for a late November release in Canada. The likelihood is that an American release will be a few weeks earlier, but still, it'll make the perfect Christmas gift. The price was 39.99 Canadian, so that will probably mean 29.99 American.

Just thought everyone would like to know. 38 First wave of Armada got to Portugal in March (Starscream, First Aid, Hot Shot, Cyclonus, Demolisher, minicon Street Action, Land Military and Air Defense teams). All accounted for except Optimus and Megatron that seem to have stayed at home.
38 TF Armada has landed in Israel, and the first to show up were Cyclonus, Hot Shot and Demolishor along with the first wave Mini-cons, which were soon boosted by the presence of Red Alert, Megatron, Laserbeak, and Jetfire. Optimus Prime is unseen so far, and the arrival Jetfire was something of a surprise as it's a relatively new toy in the US market . Cost wise, it's the usual swing between 1 1/2 to 2 times the United States price. Price wise, one surprise was Laserbeak, which came close to (or maybe even a little under ) the U.S. price, which was arround the $16.

38 Transformers: Armada video game's strategy game is now available on Amazon.com. This book is to be released in November 2003 with a pre-order price of $10.49. Since the book is to be released in November of this year, it is very possible that the Transformers: Armada game itself will be released around this time, since guide books are usually coordinated with the release of the games. However, the book may be delayed if the game is. There is barely any information available for the game, so this shows that the game has been in development in secret for quite a long time. Check out the pre-order page for the guide book HERE.

I was a bit lukewarm about this set at first as I already own 3 of the molds - naturally the larger, more expensive molds. Finally I decided that 6 bots for $30 is a good deal. If you don't have any of these figures, I would highly recommend investing in a set. Most of the recolors are as good as the originals if not better. Read the reviews HERE.

59 Thanks to HollywoodReporter.com, we get this news on a possible Transformers "Live Action" movie: "The Transformers" -- the ever-morphing Hasbro toy line introduced in the mid-1980s that has gone on to spawn comic books, multiple television series and an animated feature -- are being prepped to change shape again, this time into stars of the big screen. Angry Films topper Don Murphy (whose next film is "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen") and writer-producer Tom DeSanto ("X-Men" and "X2: X-Men United") have teamed to produce a feature-length, live-action movie based on the popular brand. The duo are expected to shop the project to studios shortly, and DeSanto said they have already received interest from a handful of directors hoping to get involved in the project. DeSanto is currently working on a story treatment for the project before he and Murphy hire a screenwriter to adapt it for the big screen. (Chris Gardner) Could it be true? After years of fan demand, will we get our wish? Read more at Reuters.com HERE.

Friday the 27th of June is the last day Transformers Armada will air in the early morning. Now, it will only be on Saturdays twice a day. Also, the primetime episode has moved from 7:30 p.m. central time to 10:00 p.m. central time. Consult the time schedule at CartoonNetwork.com or TVguide.com to check the times for your area.
38 The upcoming Transformers Armada game was recently on the Extended Play video game show on TechTV. The footage they showed was the same as what was just released online a few weeks ago, but they did reveal that the game was awesome and they said it was really good, which is a good sign considering I find their reports very accurate. They also said that the game was by Atari and was for the Playstation 2. The episode was on the E3 special, which means the game was playable (or at least viewable) at the video game event.

34 The upcoming Playstation 2 G1 video game TRANSFORMERS ( apparently Tatakai has been dropped out of the title) was in a recent issue of The Official Playstation Magazine. Nothing us Transfans didn't already know was in the article, and two pictures were on the page as well. One was of Starscream holding Megatron (transformed, of course) and the other was of Wheeljack fighting Decepticons, both of which have already surfaced online. Aparrently, the people at Playstation have no clue when the game is coming out either, and aren't sure if it's even coming the the US. Another tidbit on the page said that there was only one other G1 video game out there, while in fact there are four. One for NES, one for Famicon disk system ( no, not the same game), and two for the Commodore 64. I think all were Japanese only games, except for the C64 ones.
34 Contrary to the recent article in Play Station magazine this month, We have been informed by an official at Takara that the Transformers G1 "Tatakai" game being developed by Winkysoft will NOT be released in the USA. According to Takara " We have decided that G1 would not publish in the US, it will be available only in Japan." Bad news for G1 Fans in the USA. Ah well, guess we'll have to wait for the Armada game by Atari next year. We will post more updates as we get them.

34 DragonX76 of Transfandom.com reports. There will be two version of Binal Tech Smokescreen. The following description is taken from HobbyLink Japan. "This is a car-to-robot Transformer in the tradition of their previous releases from the last two decades, but it has two important differences: (1) It's a very realistic rendering of an actual, current WRC rally car, the Subaru Impreza WRC 2003, with markings for Tommy Makinen (#8) and Peter Solberg (#7) who actually are racing it in competition. (2) When it's a car, it has none of the toy-like qualities of previous offerings, instead being a gorgeous display model with complete engine and cockpit detail!" Product page may be viewed here.

34 I wanted to squash this rumor I heard, I asked Vince DiCola about being approahed about doing music for the live action Transformers movie and here is what he had to say: "I have not yet been approached regarding the score for the new TF live action film. I understand that the tentative release date for that film is not until early-to-mid 2005, so it will be some time until the production company can even think about the music part of their film. That's usually one of the last elements to be put into place on a movie project of that nature. However, I am going to campaign heavily to try and get that job as I feel I have a lot to offer given the history."- Vince DiCola- 7/31/03- 3:23 PM

38 Has anyone noticed that there are a few US Armada Tidal Wave boxes that have a sticker strategically placed over the tri-lingual comment above the WARNING - choking hazard label on the front of the box? If this sticker is removed you can clearly see that what is stated on most boxes (Combine to create a warship!) actually says Electronics Lights and Sound!
HASBRO USA did not catch these boxes in time and did not change them so they put stickers on them to cover up the fact that Tidal Wave was issued in the US without the lights and sounds that the Japanese version will have! WHAT A RIP!!!

38 While just stopping into Wal-Mart for a squirt bottle to spray my cat with, I checked the toy aisle just for giggles. To my surprise, I found loads of the new powerlinx figures. Most of them were stacked on the upper shelf which I couldn't reach, but I did grab a Powerlinx Thrust. Sadly to report, his colors are very odd. When I mean odd, think brick red instead of the bright red and imagine the white plastic missle holders and leg/torso parts being purple. The yellow was also replaced by orange. Bleh. Still an awesome figure, but not what I originally wanted. Have you seen the Powerlinx toys? Post your sightings for others to see HERE.

Not only that but the voice for RID Primes toy is in both commercials playing who else but Prime.

According to Action-HQ.com, the USA 20th Prime may be less than meets the eye. "AHQ was just informed that there will be a US Hasbro version of this upcoming 20th Anniversary Optimus prime. Unlike the Takara version, this will be mainly made out of plastic vs die-cast metal. It is also schedule to ship sometime mid-December." We certainly hope this is wrong. Read the original post HERE.
