We'd like to thank Seibertron.com member capellamusic for alerting us to a special Anniversary sale being held by Toys'R'Us in their stores in both Portugal and Spain.
I think this is of interest to be spread to the community since many of us aren't from the USA, UK or Japan.
At Toys"R"Us in Portugal and Spain there's an anniversary sale, which includes Transformers, until November 8th. It also includes G.I.Joe.
Regarding Transformers the main sale is that for each Movie ROTF Deluxe figure you buy you can bring another Movie ROTF Deluxe figure for free, so it's only worth to buy them in pairs during this sale. In my case I bought 6 Deluxes and thus paid only 3. So, the price for 2 Movie ROTF Deluxes ends up being 17.99 EUR.

Information of an Xbox 360 packaging bundle for Transformers and Star Trek has been discovered by
videogamer.com.
"The Transformers bundle includes an Xbox 360 Elite plus Transformers 2 the movie on a Bumblebee-styled USB stick, a copy of Transformers 2 The Game and an additional black Wireless Controller."
Unfortunately at this time, there is no information disclosed about the hard drive size of Xbox 360 included in the bundle, or the biggest factor perhaps...the price.

From an independent Malaysian toy store,
TF community member Ghoyle snapped pictures of a packaging variant with deluxe
ROTF Mudflap and Skids in their ice cream truck disguise.
Here is what we have seen released at mass retail:
Here is what was found at a toy store in Malaysia:
Is this a new variant for the MISB and variant collectors to have to track down?
If this becomes a more common sighting, we'll be sure to share with you. For now it seems to be an isolated incident, but was mentioned to be on the shelf with deluxe Waves 3 and 4.

Andrew Wildman, classic Transformers artist, has updated his page at
wildwords with his cover for the upcoming IDW Transformers ongoing series (interior art and regular cover penciled by Don Figueroa, and written by newcomer Mike Costa) with some commentary reflecting on his Generation One work.
"What tickles me about this is that for many years people have commented on the fact that I used to make the Transformers very ‘human’. I would draw them with expressions and teeth and sometimes saliva. Of course it was never saliva but oil. Well, to take that a step further I decided at the colouring stage to show Rodimus Prime’s breath in this chilly environment."
Take a look at the very human-like Rodimus on the variant cover for IDW's Transformers ongoing series #3, set to be released early next year!
Well done, Mr. Wildman.

Mike Ballog and Aaron Archer spoke at the Paramount Press Junket recently, describing big news for the toy realm of the Transformers brand, and confirmation that a line similar to
Universe 2.0 from 08' and
Classics from late 06' is on the way, next Fall.
From Lonegamer of The Allspark:
Questions with Hasbro Director of Global Design and Development Aaron Archer post panel
Is a toy line similar in concept to Classics and Universe 2.0 - classic characters in updated bodies - going to be released next Fall?
Yeah, everything that isn’t movie, should fit in to that kind of area that we’re now calling Universe. So anything that doesn’t quite fit in movie, so whether it be Beast Wars, or re-imagining of, you know, Bluestreak or something, a favorite, will be in that kind of line. So we are going to do new updates.
So classic characters in updated bodies.
How many of those, I can’t really get into, but that’s something we know works for the fans, that kinda complete that new style – expression – and we’re happy to do that. We love to bring back old characters that you wouldn’t have thought we’d redo. It’s kinda a fun little designer challenge now going on. Mirage, he’s out.
Release date next fall?
I think mostly next fall is when you’ll see more of that.
Any update on release dates for the remaining Animated stuff?
[San Diego] Comic-Con, we showed what the few remaining guys were out there that we will produce at some point, whether in Animated packaging or not. But I don’t know the release dates, I focus on the creation and stuff. I don’t want to give the wrong date, but they are definitely coming out. We want all that stuff to come.
How does Hasbro handle the cultural differences, such as when it came to localizing the Unicron Trilogy and “Robots in Disguise” (“Car Robots” in Japan)?
It’s a challenge because it’s culturally two different ways to tell stories. So we kinda trade off – we wanted a particular type of thing, Takara will need a certain type of thing. What works well in the Japanese market is kinda the combining figures and different event-base products coming out, so their telling those stories, and we have a different take on that. So we make compromises on both sides and try to make it work. For Animated, it was more of a US-led production, and I think they’re trying to figure it out on their end how they’re going to make it fit into the universe they have. It’s not always easy but it’s not too difficult either.
Any thoughts on Japanese storytelling compared to Western storytelling?
I think for the Japanese… it’s one episode every week, it’s 52 episodes, more of a soap opera, in a way. Whereas we’re just telling fun action stories, character driven, from an American or Western sensibility, of course. Those are the really two big kind of things we navigate, and in Animated we led that production with Cartoon Network, so we didn’t do 52 episodes stand alone, and all of that. It just works better for the US and some of the markets that Hasbro participates in.

Images from Seibertron.com member S250 reveals that
Nebular Starscream will be an exclusive to
K-Mart. Nebular Starscream follows the
War For The Skies, as the newest K-Mart Exclusive. Nebular Starscream is the first repaint of
Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Starscream, in a rather odd turquoise, brown paint combination.
We also get to see the back-packaging of Nebular Starscream, and his biography is a bit distorted to read.
The date of Nebular Starscream's release is unknown, although expect it to be released around the new year.
