Thanks to the release of the new Avengers movie from Marvel Studios, it looks like select Marvel character figures of the Transformers: Crossovers toyline are going to be re-released in the form of a new toyline called Transformers: Mech Machines. A trio of eBay auctions reveal that at least Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America are to be part of this line's assortments (along with the Hulk according to Toy Fair 2012). All three appear to be slightly redecoed from their previous Crossovers releases, with Thor being the most noticeable. The line is scheduled for a Fall 2012 release.

Tonight, the 39th episode of Transformers: Prime, titled "Triangulation", has aired on the Hub. Previously, through a series of events, the Autobots and Decepticons had both acquired the coordinates to the locations of four Iacon relics. In an attempt to reach all four simultaneous, each side has spread their ranks throughout, sending select individuals after each one. While Arcee and Bumblebee were sent after one in Manhattan, Optimus heads to Antarctic alone to recover the second one. But Dreadwing is also closing in on the relic, and Starscream springs up again to throw a wrench into the situation. It's a three-way race to the relic involving shifting alliances and power struggles. Discuss away.

The eleventh episode of Transformers: Rescue Bots airs today on the Hub. Last week, while participating in the annual Burns family fishing trip, the Bots came under attack by a large mechanical shark submarine, armed with a laser targeting system and a self-destruct mechanism. The shark sub was making strategic attacks on Griffin Rock's coastal sensor network, as though it were trying to infiltrate the island unnoticed. Though it was eventually destroyed, someone had to be behind the attacks. Now, mysterious intruders have taken control of Doc Greene's Dino Bot to hack into the Griffin Rock central computer and run amok throughout the city. What's going on and who's responsible for all this? Discuss below.

Artist Ken Christiansen has updated his Bad Flip Productions Blog with a very interesting piece of artwork. Recall how there are both a Cyberverse Commander class toy of Ironhide and a Deluxe class toy of Kup (based on the Ironhide design) in the Transformers: Prime toyline. Well, what we have here is the source of inspiration for both toys' designs: The original pre-production concept art for a Transformers: Prime version of Ironhide.

Though this artwork exists, it is not yet a confirmation on Ironhide appearing in the show (but it does better help his chances). Check out the artwork of what Ironhide may look like if he ever shows up in the Prime cartoon, and read the artist's thoughts on the ordeal here.

Last night's episode of GTTV featured some all new gameplay footage of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. GTTV's Geoff Keighley visited High Moon Studios and spoke with both Peter Della Penna and Dave Cravens about the game, specifically how it's evolved into its own entity independent of things like movie or show promotion, as well as spotlight focus on Cliffjumper (voiced by Nolan North). Like all of the game's levels, Cliffjumper's level is custom-designed for his unique abilities and gameplay, especially for his signature cloaking ability. They also covered such things as Grimlock's backstory, how he's gone missing at the game's beginning and the mystery of what happened to him; and more details on Metroplex. The entire episode can be viewed on here.   (Discuss in the forum)

For Transfans like myself that might have missed the brands first American printed stories, Comixology is offering the original (American) Marvel series from the 80's in digital format! Prices are $0.99 per issue (the first 16 are up) or $12.99 per collected edition (3 volumes are up so far).

Also of interest to fans is that IDW is re-visiting the Marvel TF universe in it's Re-Generaton One series (which just had a Free Comic Book Day preview release).

Anyone who wants to recommend the series re-releases and reflect on their favorite stories of yester-year head through the space bridge.

Hiya, folks! Unfortunately I'm the bearer of bad news for German TF fans. Seibertron's 'site is reporting that, S1 manufacturers, Pandavision has no plans on releasing the remaining seasons for lack of a German dub. Sorry, meine buds. There's always Youtube.

Disappointed? Through the space bridge for discussion.
