Site sponsor, Robot Kingdom has updated their Facebook with an update from Takara regarding their Arms Micron Transformers Prime toyline. The big reveal in these new toys listings is a Voyager "Gaia Unicron". That's right, the chaos bringer returns to toy form in September. Perhaps this will be something fans will get a glimpse of at Botcon this year.
Gaia Unicron and other listings are as follows:

Million Publishing, the company that will be bringing us the exclusive Artfire later this, or early next year, has updated their website with images from the Generations 2012 book.
In addition to page previews, a shirt featuring Artfire and his preceding exclusive Targetmaster buddy Stepper will be available. The book is usually required to purchase the exclusive figure, but for those of us overseas, there are other means. Visit our sponsors to check for availability. |

Hot on the heels of the released photos of the second set of Maketoys' Giant bots, Maketoys themselves have released new photos of the final two construction team members Wheel Loader and Mixer.
Maketoys has also revealed the final, combined form of the yellow Giant. Staff Note: This is an unofficial product not produced or endorsed by Hasbro or Takara/Tomy. |

They also mention a convention exclusive Perfect Effect item. Photos of this item are to be posted on April 23, and perhaps more information on how it may be obtained without running afoul of the Hasbro-enforced ban on 3rd party items at the convention. Stay tuned! |

The LA Times is reporting a new advertising campaign for Transformers the Ride at the Staples Center;
What looks like a giant, smoldering gap in the side of Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles is not the result of the latest disaster to befall the City of Angels. Instead, it is the latest over-the-top campaign stunt for a new attraction set to open May 25 at Universal Studios Hollywood. A giant laminate stuck to the side of the sports venue makes it look as if an 80-foot tall, 20-ton metal alien creature from the movie "Transformers" busted a hole through the building. The laminate will remain on Staples Center until Tuesday. The stunt is meant to bring attention the opening of Transformers: The Ride 3D, an attraction that features the "autobot" and evil "decepticon" characters from director Michael Bay's "Transformers" movies. It’s a thrill ride that carries guests along a track and envelops them in the world of Transformers using special effects and high-definition 3-D technology. Two years ago, Universal Studios Hollywood launched a similar stunt to promote the opening of the park's new King Kong 360 3-D attraction. Back then, the park used giant footprints to make it seem as though the giant ape had stomped through Dodger Stadium Hit the title bar to discuss on the boards |

An update on the Botcon Twitter account has revealed that the Botcon 2012 script reading will be none other than a sequel to the 2008 script reading "Bee in the City", a Transformers Animated storyline which saw Animated Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Sari thrown into the world of the Transtechs where they met Flare Up, Beast Wars Megatron, and the morally ambiguous Transtech Shockwave! Be sure to go and check it out if you are joining us in Texas next week!
