Unicron.com's 1984 Transformers Section has been totally revamped and upgraded to the new Unicron.com infrastructure system!  While it is still not a "finished product" (meaning: several improvements to "the system" are still in the works!) we thought it's about time we bring it to your attention.  This is what you'll find:

We've seen in the pics from Toyfair that Hasbro will be launching the Kre-O line with Transformers.  Thanks to this report from MSNBC, we get a little bit more insight into the line and other things.  According to the report:

*The initial line will launch with 12 Transformers.
*Each Transformers Kre-O will come with two sets of

Japanese fansite Autobase Ichi, has posted resin model images of what appears to be, Generations Warpath! As reported by Allspark.com, these images were submitted to the Japanese patent office for approval! -Wierd! If so, I wonder why so many other toys haven't ever shown up for a similar purpose? Whatever the reason, we get a sweet sneak peak of ...  (comments in forum)

An interesting image has appeared on the Takara-Tomy Blog showing a Bumblebee Camaro *with* his "MechTech" weapon! Could this mean that all these toy gimmicks will actually show up live in the film?

Would Mike Bay want to show a bunch of his hot cars driving down the freeway with laser cannons mounted on the roof like that? Or is this simply a

Well, it would seem that nearly every Dark of the Moon figure we've seen thus far has decided to all gather together for a nice big group shot picture. One big dysfunctional family.

But seriously folks, this is one grand get-together of new toys not-yet-released. Our good buddy ACToys.net has the image of all these new toys

Calling all Transfans. We have an announcement. The theme for the 2011 BotCon convention has finally been unveiled!

Thanks to the Botcon's Twitter page, there have been several hints as to what the theme for this year's convention would be like. Many guesses ranged from Generations, to Reveal the Shield, to Animated, to Shattered Glass, to even

Remember that one listing that mentioned a new Warpath figure was to come in a later wave of either the Generations or Reveal the Shield toylines? Well, now we've got what could possibly be our first look at this new Warpath figure in Tank Mode, thanks to ACToys.net.

He appears to be some sort of H-Tank a la Armada Megatron

Can't get enough of the last images we saw of Dark of the Moon Shockwave? You're in luck, because several brand new images of DOTM Shockwave have shown up once again on ACToys.net.

This time, we see several shots of his Robot And Vehicle modes from all sides and angles (except the bottom). These images show how his cannon is placed on his arm

It has been known for quite some time that none other than the fan-favorite Decepticon mad scientist Shockwave would be the one of (if not the) primary antagonists of the upcoming Transformers: Dark of the Moon movie, but thus far, all we had ever really seen of him were some silhouettes and a cutout of his head.

At long last, we finally

Still on the fence about which version of Grapple you'd like to purchase? If you've got the cash, but still can't decide, take a look at this. HK-TF has comparison images of the Reveal the Shield Voyager Solar Storm Grappel figure with its United counterpart UN-11 Autobot Grapple.

The main differences between the two are that Grappel has a
