Okay, so we're longing for the return of Transformers comics (can you tell!!) For now, to hold you/us over, hope you enjoy another in the "classic" category: The 1989 Transformers Section has been updated w/ plot summaries for the comics by Marvel, just look in the left hand "TF-Media column". These stories are oldies but goodies, including the ... (0 comments)

Thanks to the allspark for pointing out a great article in Wizard Universe. HERE is a link to the interview with Pat Lee where he speaks out on the closing of Dreamwave; what happened, why, what's next etc. Very interesting and so very unfortunate.

Okay, let us take a little look back in time shall we? From 2003 all the way back to 1984! Yeah, I admit it's long overdue, a few remaining toys that still desparately need character page overhauls. One includes this example which is one of the first CP's we ever did. It had pix we borrowed (/stole; sorry guys, we didn't know any better at ... (0 comments)

The final all new TF:Armada character page to be added in the 2003 section is ready for viewing. Final Battle Optimus Prime is considered pretty darn cool by many fans not just because he rocked in that finale episode fight scene of the cartoon series. He was unique as the only Armada character to continue in form and function and be featured ... (0 comments)

We have confirmed U.S. sightings for
Alpha Quintesson, Energon Starscream, Quickstrike, Road Block and Six Shot as well as all of the new alternators listed above... (Unfortunately, some of these real sightings got deleted.

Still no official word on the licence or future of Transformers comics. In the meantime, I thought you would enjoy some new additions, thanks to Byrerprime. The 1988 Transformers section has been updated with plot summaries for the comics by Marvel, which featured toys of that year. You'll find them in the left hand, TF-Media column. (0 comments)

The 2003 section has another new character page ready for viewing, Galvatron. Personally, I thought it would've been absolutely awesome if Armada Megs became Galvatron once touched by the alternate dimension (G1) Galvatron... But alas that didn't happen and Aramada Galvatron made virtually no appearances in the TF: comics. But he did kick some ... (0 comments)

Okay, so Armada Tidal Wave didn't play as big a role in either the cartoons or comics as I would've liked. But hey it was one very cool toy. Or would that be 3 toys, or 4 or ah you know what I mean! :) You'll find his character page is ready for viewing in the 2003 TF Section. (0 comments)

2005.com is reporting that Hasbro cancelled the license with Dreamwave, which would explain why they are ceasing operations. Supposedly, Transformers comics will "be back soon". What does this mean? Well, it seems unlikely that we'll see the end of TF:Energon that I personally had been greatly anticipating. Very unfortunate... We'll keep you ... (0 comments)
