Official pictures of Botcon Thunderclash have been revealed today on the Botcon Official Website. As reported earlier he is indeed a repaint of Energon Rodimus.

Check out all the pics here! While you're at it, compare this figure to the original Thunderclash and Energon Rodimus and Checkpoint.




"Where all others fail, I stand able to succeed."

A decisive leader who is never afraid to take action, he commands the instant respect and loyalty of every soldier he takes under his wings. With a razor sharp mind, and a reputation for rescuing troops under his command from disastrous situations, Thunderclash is considered an ideal mentor to initiate new recruits into the
Autobot ranks.

Target- Transformers Mighty Muggs Wave 2 has started to hit Target stores.

Wave 2 features a couple of favorite characters in Grimlock and Starscream.

Mighty Muggs are the deformed versions of characters that mostly are created with the same body type, with weapons or features added to make them specific to individual characters.

Of course, for those that like their Transformers to transform these are probably not for you, but for those with interest in specific characters, you may want to go and try your local Target to see if you can find these. Wave 1 featuring Optimus Prime, Megatron, Soundwave, and Bumblebee is already available in stores.

Thanks to Fabio W. for the heads up, and picture proof!

hk-tf.com- A nice comparison gallery has been posted on hk-tf.com of HASBRO's and TakaraTomy's releases of the Hot Shot mold and their obvious differences.

You can see some teaser images of the gallery below, but be sure to check out the whole gallery here.









Be sure to check out all the differences, and discuss them below! These are set to be released anytime in Japan.

Thanks to L-U at hk-tf.com for the images.

TFW2005- Members GenZhao and TM2 D-bot have posted comparison galleries of the soon-to-be released (or already released, it depends who you talk to) Henkei Minibot Attack and Spy Teams.

The Spy Team consists of Cosmos, Warpath, and Wheelie.

The Attack Team is made up of Cliffjumper (Legends Bumblebee repaint), Beachcomber, and Brawn.

While we know Seibertron will post an excellent, comprehensive gallery when he gets his sets, the images presented here should help others decide if the price of importing these toys is worth it when you compare them to the original HASBRO releases.

You can check out the full set of images here, with a sample below, and be sure to discuss the differences (Brown Brawn? Light Orange Wheelie) with our community members here on seibertron.com.

Finally the time is there. After a long wait can we finally announce the details for TF ConVersions 2009.

TF ConVersions
Sunday June 14th 2009
Merwestein, Nieuwegein



After the announcement of the date two weeks ago, the team has been busy to finalize everything. The team also received many diverse responses to our last news report. However, it were the positive responses, and foremost those regarding the location from last year, that allowed us the possibilities to reopen negotiations and come to a better agreement. Because of the positive responses, we have decided to once again hold our convention in Nieuwegein at the Merwestein Sport Complex.

After further negotiations, we have found a way to repress the ticket fees even further down. Thanks to the people from the Merwestein Complex, we have come to terms on the prices listed below. Parking at the Merwestein Sport- en Evenementencomplex is of course again free of charge.

;#x20AC;15.- - Tickets at the door
;#x20AC;12,50 - Tickets by presale via the online shop
;#x20AC;10.- - Children aged 3 to 14 years
Free - Children 0 to 3 years

People who already ordered their tickets, will be contacted in the coming week, and the difference will be returned.

The event will take place as before from 12.00 hrs until about 17.00 hrs. Many of the well-known items will be present again. Although some items may be repackaged. The biggest change will be the concept of the hub. Instead of seperate stands for various items, this year these will be interconnected with each other flow over bewteen them. A combination of Transformers information will stand united. Together we will see if the Hub can possibly find the answers to some of the questions you may have. There will be a panel about Kitbashing and how you can do it yourself. How you can maintain your Transformers toys and if possible how to repair them. Also the how to Draw Your Transformers art corners wil also be represented here. All the convenience in one spot.

The various activities will also be on hand. With the lotterij many great and exclusive Transformers items can be won. Several Transformers Themed games will be played. Also the Jumpstarter Challenge will be ready for action. A corner for the smaller fans (in a more subdued manner compaired to last year) where they can colour, draw and watch video will be present. And of course there will be a number of various stands where the hardcore fan can expand his/her collection.

If you want to signup as a (fan)dealer for the event sell items or you want to help during TF ConVersions. (This means from start to finish). Or you have a fun idea that we can use for the convention? Then you can contact Raymond Fransman by e-mail at raymond-t@tf-conversions.com or even better register to the forum and send a PM to Raymond T. The costs and rules for keeping a stand have remained unchanged.

We will see each other on June 14th in Nieuwegein.

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:


It should be noted that while this project has been recognized by IDW Publishing and Hasbro, none of the works presented have been commissioned or solicited by either company. The stories are not official canon, except where noted. These stories are the result of Transformers enthusiasts taking the time out of their busy days to contribute to a universe they love. No one has been paid for the production of these stories.

An update was done to the official Transformers Revenge of the Fallen movie website.

All of the projected global release dates have been posted. Almost the whole world can expect to see ROTF hit theatres on June 24th 2009, with the exceptions of Japan, which has a June 20th, 2009 release date and China which is still listed as TBD .

Something thats interesting is the US release date being listed as June 24th as well, but the site still shows the original June 26th date on the countdown. Could this be a mistake or a new release date? Faithful Transfanatics know that this may or may not be the actual release date for the film but its nice to know we only have 3 months and counting for the sequel to the 2007 blockbuster hit!
