The Official Transformers Fan Club website has undergone a major update, with the publication of the long awaited finale to The Wreckers, which left its fans hanging years ago!  While the Allspark had previously published the text-only original script, Fan Club members are treated to some brand new artwork.  Here's the official press release from Fun Publications regarding the brand new content:

  As armies of Quintesson warriors march across Cybertron and a mad Predacon criminal begins his ascent into godhood, only the rag-tag group known as the WRECKERS can stop them! The thrilling end to the long-running saga, WRECKERS: FINALE PART 2 brings Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals and Predacons together in a battle for not just the fate of the Transformers' home world, but for the universe itself! Written by Greg Sepelak and S. Trent Troop ("The New World"), art by Guido Guidi (IDW, Dreamwave) and Drew Eiden (Fun Publications).

Do you love your Classics Cliffjumper, but feel his giant jagged silver stripes just aren't ostentatious enough? Well, now you can pimp him out proper-like, with a limited-edition conversion kit. An auction has appeared on TaoBao.com for one of the sets, which includes new car body parts, a new head with three different faces, a laser gun, and one big honkin' laser bazooka. The kit requires some assembly, and will be available in January in an edition of just 300 pieces.

Credit goes to TFW2005 for finding the auction listing. Visit TaoBao for the full auction (with multiple photos and translated text), and discuss in Suspsy's thread.

First Prime, then Ultra Magnus...and then Megatron of course. It looks like Revoltech will venture into the Transformers universe another time to bring us figures of Starscream and (Hot) Rodimus! The pair were on display at a recent Revoltech Expo in Japan, but so far there's been no other information on them.

You can see an image of them here (they're a bit small in the image though). Thanks to TFW2005 for the link. And you can discuss the figures here in Powered Convoy's thread.

Buy a book, get a Transformers toy (or possibly two)! Following the news of the eHobby black Ironhide is news of a mail away green Ratchet. This color scheme is meant to homage the color scheme that Ratchet had in the Transformers: The Movie! When you buy a certain book in Japan, you get a form on the back of that book good for up to two Ratchet figures. Unfortunately, this means that the offer is only good for those residing in Japan. 

You can see images of the green Ratchet here! Thanks to TFW2005 for the link. And don't forget to discuss this news here. 

Coinciding with the upcoming Encore reissues of Ratchet and Ironhide from Takaratomy, E-Hobby will be offering an exclusive version of Ironhide in his Diaclone colors.

Thanks to tfw2005 and Razorsaw for the news along with Nevermore for the name translation. You can express your complete and total shock at this announcement in Razorsaw's thread here on the Allspark.

While not "news" per se, it is hard to pass by something as compelling as a gallery of the much-coveted golden Lucky Draw Beast Wars Neo Big Convoy.  Moonbug from Transformers at the Moon stopped by our forums to let us know that they have a full gallery of the big shiny lug and he's, well, shiny.  And golden.

The latest sticker set over at Reprolabels allows you to turn Titanium Series Soundwave into your own Cybertronian rugrat, complete with bib, pacifier, and a sticker of a real diaper!  In addition, this bizarre but oddly appealing set includes a sticker to turn Laserbeak into "Rattybat," an adorable play-buddy for your metallic blue bundle of joy.
