It looks like fans wanting a repaint of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Breakaway mold will get their wish! A new eBay auction has emerged showing off a Breakaway in red and black with Decepticon symbols and going by the name "Thrust". And if that's not enough for you, he's got a new head tooling too!

Omega-Tron has stopped by to let us know that his local Walmart is holding a sale on a few of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen figures.

So if inflation's teeth have ground you--or your wallet--raw and you're looking to escape to the good ol' days, you may want to risk a trip to Walmart!

Dr. Onishi gave the word, so let's blow the lid off this mystery.

 BATTLE PROTOCOL, one of the Allspark's crowning achievements, is BACK after a six year hiatus.  The Robots In Disguise-themed profile project, completed in 2003 just in time for OTFCC, has gotten a complete facelift, and has returned to the Allspark in the form of BATTLE PROTOCOL: O-PARTS EDITION.  We've got the first in a series of supplemental installments ready for viewing here, and an ongoing discussion of our brief viral campaign here.

We'd like to thank the thirty-one members of the Allspark's Iacon and Chronicles communities who contributed to this project so long ago: your efforts are back in the spotlight again!  An especially big thank you goes out to Jake "Inkerguy" Isenberg, whose crazy idea this was in the first place, and without whose dedication, coordination and ambition this project wouldn't have seen the light of day.

Now, go find those O-Parts!
