Scramble City (1986, Japan) is a half-hour original animated video (OAV) that bridged the transition from the "contemporary" era of "Fight! Super Robot Life Transformers" to the year 2006. It was made by combining original animated footage with existing American cartoon clips into one fight-filled festival. The large Gestalts (Superion, Menasor, Bruticus, Devastator, and Defensor) played leading roles, while Trypticon, Ultra Magnus, and Metroplex make brief appearances. The name comes from the story´s premise of "scramble power." The Gestalts could rearrange their limbs (swapping an arm for a leg, for instance) to gain advantage in battle. Check out the ALL NEW Scramble City Revisited screen capture gallery here. This screen capture gallery has been left intact - and includes the recap images from other G1 episodes as well as the new animation.

Not only has the main Transformers toy line done well enough during 2002 that it has spawned a secondary Transformers line called "Transformers: Universe" featuring Unicron versus PRIMUS, but the little tykes look like they´ll be getting an expanded Transformers: Go-Bots line! According to a press release from Hasbro, the Transformers: Go-Bots line will get a new figure that sounds a bit like Ultra Magnus or Optimus Prime (a massive tractor-trailer capable of hauling 2 Go-Bots toys) AND an animated series! For more details and to read about the Go-Bots´ mission on Earth, click here.

Found this while browsing, sure it will keep all the Americans happy. This was a question asked to a hasbro representative:

Q: What time does the TRANSFORMERS ARMADA program air?
A: "Transformers Armada airs on the Cartoon Network on Fridays at 6:30PM starting August 30th. Look for it to move to the Toonami block Monday-Friday at 4:30PM starting in November."
We assume these times are Eastern Standard time but have no confirmation yet.

Dreamwave have recalled copies of the highly-anticipated Predaking Lithograph. According to their website:

"...our Predaking lithograph was not up to our usual standards. The final lithograph had poor image resolution, and parts of the orignal image cut off.



We´re not ones to let our fans down, so the lithograph is being recalled and replaced. Get in touch with your local retailer to find out about exchanging you´re old lithograph for a new and improved one." 

Glad to hear that quality actually matters!

Despite earlier mishaps with previous releases, Maverick´s "Transformers: The Original Series" Vol 3 will be released on June 10, followed by the UK version of the Season 1 Boxset on Aug 26 (hopefully with a corrected episode order, and featuring footage of Transforce 2002, so I may be on there - you have been warned). That same day sees the release of Transformers: Takara Volume 1! Yep, there´ll be more of ´em! Check HERE for updates and current Maverick products. Presumably, the new releases will be on VHS as well - something for rabid completists to contemplate!!
