Woah guys, we're talking about comics here, not toys. The club have stated before that they won't be able to use moulds that havn't already seen a retail release (with the exception of remoulds to existing toys) so the only TT themed toys that may appear somewhere down the line would be existing toys done as TT characters. Given the unique look of the TT designs I can't see anything that would translate well in the way of existing toys in that context.

I was hoping for toy news, but recycling unused images in a different manner than origionaly intended is just as nice.

Movie+Animated= Trastech.
The movies complexity and the animated poseability and amazing prowl transformation technology.

I think the club has dropped the ball on this one (not for the first time). Transtech (name and designs) was only interesting as it was going to bring G1 and the Beast Era together. It was to have the characters well had known over the past 5 years meet up with the legendary G1 characters of old. Why not ignore Universe and instead produce a full blown proper sequel to BM?

Overall this is another reason not to sign up for but wait for the TPB. I'll sign up when it costs a reasonable price for international members.

At least in part because they've already tied Timelines into Universe with the inclusion of Nemesis Prime, Ramjet, Sentinel Maximus and Omega Prime in Balancing Act in their post Universe incarnations. Since they're reality swapping with these stories there would be nothing to stop them having a couple of alternative post BM continuities going on, but it is cleaner to keep things somewhat seperate.

I'm torn between opinions really. On one hand, I hate the Transtech designs. However, on the other hand, those designs have blossomed into some of the best figures made in the last 10 years.

I'll save my judgement for when we see all this new stuff at Botcon.

Oh, I loved the Transtech concept (not to say I thought all the designs were perfect)... they are alien robots, let them look like alien robots.
