An update from the official Botcon homepage - this year's convention boxed set, Wings of Honor, is already over 60% sold out a mere 48 hours after the convention pre-registration forms went up. I'm sure some of you are thinking that this may be because dealers are buying up large numbers of sets - however, this is not so, because according to Pete Sinclair, these are not mass orders, but individual single orders.
Needless to say, this is unprecedented demand outstripping even the popularity of last year's Shattered Glass set (which sold out in what was then record time). If you want to attend and get a boxed set, act now to avoid disappointment! Also stay tuned to Botcon.com next week for the unveiling of the second Botcon exclusive toy from the boxed set, the evil Decepticon Scourge! |

Autoblog are reporting that GM have slashed their marketing budget by $800 million. The impact of this are few to no TV media advertisements, which also means no multi-million dollar cross-promotion advertising campaign for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen which features several GM cars as the Autobots. The 2007 movie had a GM advertising campaign that ran into the tens of millions, however there will be no such campaign this time out.

yayabeee of The Arker has uploaded one of the most extensive image galleries yet seen of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Megatron! This gallery shows off the full extent of Megatron's poseability and shows just how dynamic and imposing a robot he is! There's also a large selection of comparison images with a selection of other Transformers including an extensive comparison between this new Megatron and the Megatron from the 2007 Movie toy line.

Anyone remember the first rumor lists for Transformers: Classics, and the deluxe Optimus Prime that was listed? Well TF: Generation 2009 vol.1 shows the hard copy of the unreleased deluxe Classics Optimus Prime!
The differences between the unreleased figure and voyager Optimus Prime, are more than meets the eye! The deluxe figure features mold differences, more closely matching Don Figueroa's original design. Some of these differences can be seen on the knees and the head sculpt.

A scan from the April edition of Hobby Japan shows off the Transformers due for release on March 26th in Japan. These include Henkei Dinobot (in a color scheme much closer to his on-screen appearance in Beast Wars), Henkei Hot Shot, the Henkei releases of the Legends Class Autobots (including a Japan-exclusive repaint of Bumblebee and Cliffjumper). Also shown are the monochrome version of the Disney Label Mickey Mouse Transformer and Masterpiece Grimlock.

yayabeee of The Arker has posted another extensive Transformers Revenge of the Fallen image gallery. This time, the subject of the gallery is the new Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. Check out all the new images which show off the excellent range of poseability in the toy - including such poses as doing press ups and even balancing on one foot! If that is not enough, there are some comparison images with both versions of Megatron, Ironhide and others showing that this is the definitive Movie Optimus Prime toy!

Newsarama attended IDW's panel at Wondercon, and reports the following:
A slideshow of upcoming titles was presented, starting with Transformers. There are two four-issue prequel miniseries to the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen film, Alliance and Defiance. The prequel project was originally to be titled "Destiny", but was later divided into the two mini-series. The film is set to be released June 26th. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Prequel – Alliance is written by Chris Mowry, with art by Alex Milne and covers by film concept artist Josh Nizzi. The miniseries deals with the fallout from the Reign of Starscream mini which served as a sequel to events in the first film, and focuses on the alliance between humans and Autobots versus the Decepticons. It follows the characters from the first film and sets them up for the second. The intent with Alliance, which began release in December and ends in two weeks, was to have something that fans could read while waiting in line for a midnight showing of the film. The second prequel, Defiance, is more of a prequel to the film franchise in general, being set before the events of the first Transformers film. Dealing almost entirely with the great war of the two robotic factions years ago and the origins of the Decepticons and Autobots, the series is also written by Chris Mowry, with art by Andrew Griffith and Dan Khanna. Fan favorite Transformers artist Dan Figueroa will be filling in on issue three. Issue one is currently available. The film itself will be adapted by long time Transformers writer Simon Furman, with art by Jon Davis-Hunt and Alex Milne, and be released weekly before the theatrical release date. Josh Nizzi will be doing covers to both the adaptation and Defiance as well. A cover gallery of his work for the various Transformers prequel miniseries and his concept art from the film will be made available to comics retailers as an incentive. Tipton then announced Transformers Spotlight: Cliffjumper, a one-shot set in the standard Transformers continuity rather than that of the films. The issue will be written by Shane McCarthy (Transformers: All Hail Megatron, Star Wars Tales) and Tipton and illustrated by Robby Russo. The issue will focus on the titular Transformer and deal with loose ends of the current All Hail Megatron story arc. Don Figueroa will be doing an alternate cover. |

I think Hasbro does that to catch grown up G1 fans from back in the day.

2005 Boards member S250 has shared this new image of a pair of Botcon 2009 Exclusive Transformers with us. You can see the image to the left. Both of the repaints are based on Transformers Energon Starscream - the first is the Skyquake repaint hinted at by Andrew Wildman last week, the other is a cool blue and white design which is speculated to be none other than Leozak!

TFW2005's Radicons Customs and Fan Art Section is proud to present their featured Radicon for November, your 2005 board member Josh! Josh has been an active member of our community since 2002. Back then, Fan Art was just a simple forum, and not a part of the Radicons section. Josh started out as just a fan like the rest of us, but through diligence and hard work, has earned his way to getting to live his dream, working for a comic book publisher (in this case, IDW). Throughout all of this, Josh has maintained his humble roots and down-to-earth personality. He's a great guy who's always willing to help other aspiring artists grow their craft. As part of our monthly spot-light, we have a really fun and interesting interview with Josh, as well as his art galleries, TONS of his artwork, and his project threads. To see this interview and other cool features, venture on over to the Featured Radicons forum.
While you're at it, you can check out our past monthly Featured Radicons. |
