The following is from Cinescape (written by Mike Whybark):


"THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER notes that Fat Rock Entertainment will produce live-action/CGI films featuring licensed properties from Hasbro and others. The production company has a partnership deal with animators SD Entertainment as well as distribution deals in place.

"The first film from Fat Rock will see release in July. The feature was not named or described."


Is it the long rumored Transformers movie? Nah, probably not. However, the rights to a new TF movie WERE picked up by an studio several months back. This JULY release is almost definately NOT a new TF film, but who knows what the future may bring ...

A few days ago we were contacted by Spencer, a fan of SEIBERTRON.com. He recently used the massive screen capture archives found at SEIBERTRON.com to help guide him with his "Cartoon Accurate G1 Optimus Prime Custom". Normally, we do not link to eBay auctions or customs, but after we checked out the quality custom Spencer has created, we thought we would return the favor for him providing a link back to SEIBERTRON.com. Great work, Spencer. We look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

Some speculation on the 'clear reissues'

In October we were all shocked to see an Ebay auction for an all clear Optimus Prime figure. Speculation ran wild. Was it a Lucky Draw figure? Was it a prototype? A test shot? We just didn´t know. As the weeks went on, we learned that there were at least THREE of these ´clear Optimus Prime´ figures. Not long after, pictures were put up on Seibertron.com showing a ´clear smokey Starscream´ figure and what looked like an ´all chromed Starscream´ figure. Rumors that these were being made ´after hours´ at either Hasbro or Takara by workers seeking a quick buck began to gain momentum. Merely a few weeks ago, an all clear ´New Years Convoy´ appeared for sale from a private dealer. This included the New Years version of the rifle, an all clear Matrix of Leadership, and a trailer with clear parts within.

This brings us to December 18th. Today pictures were found of a clear Jazz and a clear Prowl.

What do all these figures have in common? They´re all fairly recent japanese reissues. They all include the japanese sticker sheets as well.

All signs point to these being made in Takara´s factory by an employee or employees seeking to rip off the fandom.

If the opportunity to purchase one of these figures presents itself, be warned. They´re most likely NOT official products and for all intents and purposes you´re paying a huge sum of money for a knock-off.

As always, there will be an update as soon as more information is made available.
