Thanks to Peaugh who has posted one of his marvelous video reviews. This round features the much anticipated release of the BBTS Exclusive G1 Seacons and Piranacon Gestalt action figures team. Hasbro surprised everyone with these release at BotCon. With the figure set to arrive next month, this video is a good way to get the scoop on what this toy is all about.

BotCon 2010 was the summer Transformers event and now you can check out all the action in the pages of the current issue of the Transformers Collectors' Club magazine. In addition to the coverage, Derrick Wyatt offered his talents and provided the art for Elite Guard Metalhawk and Casey Coller has continued his contributions with art depicting a certain Decepticon warlord!

If you have been wondering "Where's Ender?" We are happy to report that he's a daddy for a third time and drops us an update on his new baby girl: "Just wanted to send out a quick note to tell everyone that my new daughter (finally) arrived last night! Her name is Adela Titania Laurence, she's amazing. Mom and baby are in good health and we all couldn't be happier."

There's been a lot of back and forth on this toy. The news on this being a Toys R' Us exclusive as well as a release tied in with a San Disgo Comic Convention release have been quite confusing to all. Now you can relax as TRU have posted their Pre-Ordering page that you can get yours at now with FREE shipping for $59.99 at toysrus.com!

As previously reported, there's been some talk going around that Kup would be in the Transformers 3 movie based on images that have surfaced from The Scorecard Review of a cardboard cutout bot head on a pole. Some apparently have assumed that it is Kup, but thanks to Nelson over at Bay's site Shoot For The Edit, that rumor has been squashed. He has posted a notice letting people know the joke's aside with a short statement: "Wrong, no Kup." In another fell swoop, Nelson has also denied that the Nascar trio are the Stunticons or Omnicons and not giving us alternatives. "[A]ll I'll tell you is that they're not Stunticons or Omnibots," he writes.

Thanks to Mickmon over at HK-TF who has posted some images of the Transformers Generation 1 Seasons set that will be released here in the USA this year. Get a look at the box artwork. What interesting to note is the pre-applied stickers and some figure names that have been extended with the "Decepticon" label most likely for Trademark issues.

The best analogy I have to describe my feelings on this issue of Ongoing is to describe a scenario where you walk into a nice reputable restaurant for a dinner and don't get quite what you bargained for in the end. Once seated you immediately order the Fillet Mignon because that's what you've been craving all day. Now for this scenario to work lets just say you are so ravenous you'll eat anything brought to your table. So you don't think twice when the first course placed before you is a salad.

The USA MP Grimlock saga continues. A news update at Entertainment Earth (EE) reveals they will be offering the Transformers Masterpiece Grimlock action figure for sale at the 2010 San Diego Comic Con later this month. The figure is listed as a Toys R' Us exclusive that will on sale at the EE booth for $70 USD.

What happened to the Masterpiece Grimlock that Hasbro said they were releasing excslusively at Toys R' Us on July 1 as previously reported? It seems none of Toy R Us has posted the products for sale. Nor is it posted online at ToysRus.com. Hasbro has since changed their site news to simply read "New Exclusive Grimlock" with the TRU information removed. If anyone has seen the MasterPiece Grimlock at TRU, please post a sighting.

According to The Sun, the Pentagon is working on a new technology that allows electronic materials to change form. In this case, they were able to make a square turn into the shape of plane. Albeit, a very simple representation you can see this device is able to transform on its own into other shapes. Researchers at the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) launched the project in 2007 in conjunction with Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Mirror mirror on the wall, can it really be there's an acution for the rarest Megatron of them all? The folks who bring us Lee's Toy Review magazine appear to have one of the ultra rare Hasbro 1994 Megatron Advanced Tactical Bomber action figures up for auction on Ebay. This figure was a bit of a myth for a time until one showed up at BotCon years ago. There's much debate over their being released or not. The extreme rarity and $5,500 starting bid suggests they were not.
