ACToys has done it again, and again, and again. Consistently showing us pictures of soon to be released product before it is available at retail allowing consumers a good look at pieces that they may want to pre-order (or cancel pre-orders as the case may be).
Yesterday, it was Henkei Ramjet.
Today, it is Henkei Skyfire.
There are a few difference for you to take note of. First, the pimped out chrome booster thrusters (seems to be a common thread with the Transformers cool crowd as of late), the blue neck piece, and head details, and finally the different cockpit. Most of these and a few more details make it a bit more cartoon accurate than the CLASSICS Jetfire release.
Judge for yourself, and let us know what you think in the discussion below!

Seibertron.com member Energon recently got the opportunity to review the upcoming issue of IDW's Reign of Starscream. Continue to scroll down to read her review. Be warned though, a few spoilers may be mentioned.
Reign of Starscream issue #3
Story by Chris Mowry, Art by Alex Milne, Colors by Josh Perez, Edits by Denton Tipton
I will try to keep this as spoiler free as possible.
You can look forward to a host of characters in Reign #3 that you will recognize as having been hanging on pegs in the toy aisle at your local superstore. RoS 3 has an actively progressing storyline and you can count on interesting interaction from the likes of Starscream, Thundercracker and Arcee. I even like Arcee in this one. I don’t like looking at her (even Alex’s magic can only do so much). Her look is dictated by higher powers. What I like is that she is not put on a fembot pedestal. She is more warrior like. Arcee has had things happen in her past that marred her record and seem to still follow her around and she has worked hard to overcome that and so she is eager to prove her capability against the Decepticons.
Thundercracker who is obviouly being considered for second in command is eager to prove his worth. He does make a grand entrance. But you will have to read the story to see what happens as he tests his own mettle against the Autobots.
Chris Mowry in RoS 2 set you up to expect more action as a continuation in RoS 3. Not only can you expect some decent explosive battles, but the characters take an active role in deciding the action. Did I mention the robot carnage? There is a whole lot going on that is put into a short 22 pages.
Who does what to whom you ask, I wish I could say more, since there is a whole lot more, the best stuff I can't post. This is about Starscream after all. But I did get permission to post this image:
The technical stuff: The overall quality of this issue is excellent. No noticeable errors. The line art by Alex is just unbelievable and the skill with which it was colored by Josh (at least on my computer screen) is fantastic. I have read the story twice since I got the copy this morning and looked at some pages a whole bunch of times. I see more stuff the more I look at it. The story is great, Chris did an awesome job of putting everything together.
I love this Starscream. This is good stuff here.
---Energon---
Do you think Starscream is a capable leader? If Sector Seven wasn’t deactivated, what are they up to? Will Starscream choose someone you know as second in command? Who is running the show for the Autobots? Do you think Frenzy was of any use to Starscream?
Special thanks to Chris Mowry for providing me with the advanced copy of Reign of Starscream issue #3.

It seems another new Chevrolet vehicle has been confirmed for the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It appears the new hybrid-electric Chevrolet Volt will join the cast of vehicles along with the already confirmed Beat, Trax and new Camaro. No word yet as to whether or not the Volt will play the role of a Transformer or not.
You can read the short article on Motor Trend by clicking here.
| : | | Reportedly very different from the original concept, according to spokesman Rob Peterson the Volt is "getting very close" to a production-ready design, and versions have already been shown to a Los Angeles focus group. In addition the car will be featured (along with other GM products) in the upcoming Transformers sequel, which is filming now. |

The Transformers Movie sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, has taken a filming hiatus while the movie industry prepares for the possibility of a screen actors guild (SAG) strike, but now, thanks to info obtained by the Transformers Live Action Movie Blog, it looks like filming will be continuing (perhaps without SAG members) at the Edwards Air Force base in California this weekend, July 10th & 11th.
Similarly, another casting call has surfaced for extras to play Jordanian/Egyptian soldiers for filming in July.

Thinking about the holidays already? We're not really either, but it appears that Carlton Cards is already trying to meet the needs of the Transformers fan again this holiday season releasing information of a new collectible ornament.
Last season, they released a G1 styled Optimus Prime ornament for trimming your tree, or decorating your home. Well, it seems they believe your tree needed to have more PEACE brought to it...
..."Peace through Tyranny" that is, as G1 Megatron looks to take control of the tree away from you and your family.
If your Optimus Prime ornament needs an archenemy to be displayed with, you'll enjoy this offering from Carlton Cards

Recently I had the opportunity to speak with the hardworking and legendary voice actor, Corey Burton, who is renowned for his countless voices throughout the years. Burton is no stranger to Disney animations and Saturday morning cartoons, but Transformers fans remember him best in the original G1 series as Shockwave, Brawn, and Spike (to name a few). After 20 years, Burton is back with Transformers and he has teamed up with the Transformers Animated series. This time, he's doing the voices for Megatron, Ratchet, Shockwave, and Spike. You can view a list of Burton’s other roles here.
Stormrider: Lets begin where most Transformers fans are familiar with your voice - Transformers Animated (TFA). So tell us about the characters that you are doing for TFA? What are they like?
Burton: There's Megatron: Uber-Villain of the series.
Ratchet: Crusty, battle-worn Doc-Bot.
And Shockwave: Calm & collected Covert Operative/Mercenary Agent, working undercover as "Longarm".…along with assorted bit-parts, including popup "cameos" as Spike...

TFW member Automaster adds a couple more interesting entries on to the earlier released list of future TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED toy products that were seen as computer code entries for upcoming Walmart product. In other words, here's a quick peak at what HASBRO should be telling us about, and showing us in the near future.
Previously, we had learned that Skywarp (Voyager), Wasp(inator)(Deluxe), Swindle (Deluxe), Blurr (Deluxe), and Wreck Gar (Voyager) were scheduled to see an eventual release in this toy line. Great news right?
According to Automaster newly added to this list are a DELUXE CLASS ARCEE-- described as a sleek car, and a VOYAGE CLASS SHOCKWAVE--no description. Better news? A G1 stylized Arcee toy? Will Shockwave turn into his Autobot spy form of Longarm?
HASBRO has not confirmed these entries yet, but we expect confirmation or at least for them to address it in the near future, possibly at the upcoming San Diego Comic Convention.

Just a reminder to everyone: we're gonna take the next month off from usual TF Mosaic operations. We've been at it non-stop for over a year now, and need a little break to rejuvenate before we kick things up again in August.
Just so everyone knows, we won't be posting any Mosaic strips or reading/looking over submissions for the next month or so. We ask that everyone working on the project use this time to work on the pieces they already have on their plates.
Anyone working on pieces for the TF Animated event has until the end of August to complete their submissions.
We'll let everyone know when we're back in operation. At that time all the new submission procedures will be in full effect. We'll also be working on a FAQ and a submission kit to make things a little easier for everyone in the future.
So, have a nice July everyone! We'll see you in August!
In the meantime, here's a little peek at what's coming up:
