3/21    Several people have pointed out things I missed in G1 character pages. For instance, Thrust and Dirge did appear in Beast Wars (2, in Japan).   I also have learned that Roadbuster, Whirl, Topspin & Twintwist appeared in the European Transformers comics! I've also updated the Dinobot Snarl page having foolishly overlooked the 1997 BW character.  All pages have been updated w/ the info and a few new links about it. I've also updated the BW Jetstorm page and the BMach Jetstorm pages after being reminded by several astute fans that Jetstorm is a G2 Character name :)  Oops!

(Okay they're great but probably not anywone's favorites!)  In addition to the Jumpstarters: Topspin & Twintwist, I've added the Deluxe Vehicle Autobots: Whirl & Roadbuster.   Much to our dismay, none of these guys have ever appeared in the cartoons OR comics.  Correct me if I'm wrong!
2/5   Check out the What's new @ Mainframe Page, where they've added a totally cool Voice Actors page for Beast Machines.  (The flash-Java version added 1/27 locked up my computer both times I tried to load it but the 1/24 version worked just fine for me. :)

1/18   Check out what's new with Transformers in Japan.  It's written in Japanese, but hey, the pictures don't need to be translated!  These toys are going to ROCK! A new "Super-Fire Convoy," new 'Cybertron' (good-guy) cars, (makes me think the Autobots are back!), and a new 6 changin', 2-headed dragon..... 'Destron' (bad-guy) leader!  Awe-yea! :)
1/8   Our reviews are finally done for the first wave of Beast Machines toys.  You'll also find updates in the Beast Machines Page.  Rather than linking to a bunch of different pictures as it was before, now each character that we have any info on has their own page.  Each page is a work-in-progress, but at least the tech specs are finally up.  You'll find pages for: Buzzsaw, Mirage, Scavenger, Blackarachnia, Jetstorm, Optimus Primal, Thrust, Cheetor & Tankor.
1/5   Alright!  We found BMach Optimus Primal & Jetstorm yesterday!  I found mine in a Walmart, J found both at a Target.  I've started my reviews but we've got a lot of catching up to do. Btw, how surprising is it to be getting SO many new TF's SO soon AFTER Christmas!  :)
