Bookstore Barnes and Noble and publisher Del Rey of Randomhouse now has a listing for a Revenge book titled "Transformers The Veiled Threat" by Alan Dean Foster, author of the first film's novelization. While B&N's listing has it "Bridge Book", the ISBN-13 on both listings are the same, so it is possible that the book will bridge both films. Look for it come April 2009.

Check here for B&N's listing, and here for Del Rey's listing.

The Universe of the Transformers is vast, and populated by many characters. Their universe is a large tapestry, made up of the stories and points of view of countless experiences that serve the larger whole. These are some of those stories. This is: Transformers: Mosaic.

11/25/08 Mosaic: Cheetor, as simple as that.

For diehards who love the behind-the-scenes aspect of Transformers animation, Jim Sorenson has this to say in his latest blog entry:

If you've read The Ark I and/or II, you know that the books are pretty packed. We basically used every available surface open to us to try to squeeze in extra models. Well, despite that there was quite a lot we couldn't fit.

Here's the model sheet for Fortress Maximus' transformation sequence, a model sheet for two of the alien prisoners from G1 Season 3 episode 7 "Chaos", and his take on why there's two different Headmasters designs between the US and the Japanese versions.

Toy-World.com.hk has posted scans from the latest issue of Figure King Magazine. The scans, or rather the ones related to Transformers, include new images of Masterpiece Grimlock (including a look at a tail and head motion gimmick), Disney Label Mickey Mouse, Henkei Cheetas, Hound, Cyclonus (really just the Universe figure as a stand-in), Dirge and Thrust, as well as a new Alternity Convoy image, and another look at the Alternity Megatron sketch (cropped different to reveal new detail)!
