In the Spotlight
Another Transformers Animated campaign figure has been announced, this time running in the Japanese Transformers Animated comic known as The Cool. The campaign will be for a crystal (clear coloured) Transformers Animated Activators Optimus Prime. The details will be in next months issue though we are working on translating the text from the images.

Not only content with updating his blog with his own material Jim Sorenson has posted a blog letting everyone know that his "esteemed colleague" and quite frankly all-round "awesome dude" (ask anyone that met the pair of them at Auto Assembly 2010) Bill Forster has updated his Deviant Art
gallery with yet more of his original artwork from The
AllSpark Almanac II. Here's the low-down from Jim on the updates that Bill posted
This time around, he's uploaded our Reverse-Pretender alter-egos, Octus and
Megadeath,
some heads from the Great War like Moonradar
and Gigatron
(a.k.a. RID Megatron, Animated style), some Maccadam's heads like
the adorable Clipper,
and more.
I think my favorite might be Skids.
While, obviously, it was movie-style Skids that inspired the design,
the idea that he'd be infested with brain parasites came from G1 Skids,
where he spent well over 100 UK issues in limbo after Galvatron
time-displaced him there. I thought it funny to include this element,
but with the much uglier RotF Skids.
Swing by, let Bill know what you think of his work!
