Is your CLASSICS Ultra Magnus feeling a tad naked? Does he need a little help to feel complete?

TFCLUB, the makers of the Cliffjumper upgrade and the upcoming Masterpiece Starscream upgrade, seem to have hit yet another homerun for upgrade sets.

A blurry picture, and some knowledgable TFClub customer talk on TFW2005 and the Allspark, seem to relate that this is true, and the best part, that the auctions should at least start at an affordable price and that there should be enough for most of the folks who want one.

Will this set come to fruition, and be available for the common folks to get at a reasonable price? Time will tell , but it is certainly interesting to consider.

You can see the thread with blurry image here.

Note: I did not go to the original link, because folks were complaining of viruses there, like last time.

Here's an auction for the CLIFFJUMPER UPGRADE SET from TFClub.

Titan Magazine has released two pencil pages for their Transformers UK #9 title.

The worst has happened! The world has splintered, and everything you thought you knew has changed!

With another great script by Simon Furman, and delicious pencils by Simon Williams, 9 promises to be another barnstorming entry in the Transformers UK revival! Don't miss out!

The issue is on sale 28 February in the UK! It comes with a great set of Transformers playing cards in their own collectors' box.

It seems the Number #1 reason for Wheelie gaining the Inaugural Annoying Character of the Day wards is his incessant rhyming. To check out IGN's full report on why they believe Wheelie deserves such an honour, please click here.

So what do you think? Are IGN right? Does Wheelie deserve such an honour? Discuss below.
