In what seems to be an extremely popular picture to parody, the recently famed President Obama picture of "Hope" has been made to render the Autobot leader that all Transformers have come to respect: Optimus Prime. Below is the original rendition for comparison with the new print.
The work was done by graphic artist Tim Doyle, and was quickly swept up by Transformers fanatics at $30.00 each. No word was posted as to whether the print will be run again. To view the original article on this, click

Thanks to s250 for pointing us in the direction of a new video of iGears Auto-Scout tape. In the video we see a small display of the simplistic, albeit fun, transformation accompanied by the contemporary rock style of Coldplay in the back ground.

actionfigs.com- More merchandise teasing the Transformers movie sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, have been shared by ActionFigs.com. These include keychains, clip-ons, slide puzzles, and more.
THESE IMAGES COULD PREVIEW MOVIE SPOILERS!
Many of the images of what will be inside the packages have been pixelated as to not spoil some of the bigger ideas in the movie, such as the possible combination of a certain Autobot leader, and one of his companions, a new character resembling Megatron, Starscream, and more.
You can check out the images of these collectibles
here, and the 'blurred' version of Optimus Prime Power-Up Mode in package, and Megatron in package below.
TFW 2009 also has silhouetted images of the actual keychains
here although they reveal no source for their images other than a retailer at last week's Toyfair. These images are sharper and thus are considered
Possible SPOILERS!
Be here when revenge happens...

transformerscollector'sclub- The newest club fiction for the Shattered Universe is now available for club members to download.
"Time is running out! Though the Heroic Decepticons were able to stop the Evil Autobots from launching the Ark, the villainous Optimus Prime isn't about to give up on his plans to plunder Earth's resources. Both sides scramble to complete their starships before Cybertron enters a nebula that will keep them trapped on the planet. But Ricochet lures the Decepticon leader Megatron into a trap, endangering the launch of the Nemesis. The Micromasters Razorclaw, Divebomb, Rampage and Whisper must brave a dangerous new Autobot weapon system to free their leader, or Optimus will be free to pillage Earth unopposed!"
"The Official Transformers Collectors Club is excited to present "Do Over", the second in a series of Shatteredverse Prose stories by Greg Sepelak and S. Trent Troop. Transformers Kiss play artist Yuki Oshima illustrates this exciting members-only tale."
There is also a tease for the next club Shattered Universe offering with a cover featuring the evil facial-haired Rodimus called
"Eye In The Sky".

toys r us- For fans of the collectible side of Transformers that does not necessarily include just transforming toys, HASBRO produces Mighty Muggs, as another option.
These cute, little deformed toys have had many different representations of characters painted on them from Marvel Super Heroes, to Star Wars, and GI JOE.
Now TRANSFORMERS have made their debut with Wave 1 showing up at TRU, and K-Marts, as well as, comic book stores. Wave 1 includes Generation 1 versions Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave.
I included picture proof of my find, only purchasing Soundwave and Optimus Prime at a Toys R Us here in Westland, MI, but I may go back and pick up Bumblebee and Megatron.
Have you found any new Transformers items at retail? Share your finds with your fellow collectors in the
sightings database, and

Secondary manufacturer add-on, weapons, and upgrade kits have become all of the rage this year, but are really nothing new to collectors of other lines like G.I. JOE, and Star Wars.
With fantastic toys, we want fantastic gear to upgrade these toys. Thus, we see the Cliffjumper upgrade, the City Commander Set, and Shadow Commander sets released. We drool over the pictures of the upcoming 'Gear of War' set, and the iGear Autoscout. We enjoy having a Roller for our Masterpiece Prime trailer, and more!
The creativity and the desire to bring what the fans want make these companies special, but unfortunately sometimes, we need to understand that the quality may not live up to the expectation due to the size of the company making the secondary products and the lack of much of what the larger toy companies have.
So a little reminder, a little warning to us all that with the best intentions, things do not always work out.
Here we have an example. The TCP-001A City Commander Parts set by SGCollect, released this week. A custom upgrade for a custom upgrade (City Commander set), but unfortunately it seems that the quality did not live up to the expectation, at least in one purchaser's case.
First shown
here, the upgrade set looked to have a fantastic new head sculpt to add to the City Commander set, as well as, the shoulder rockets, and G1 toy accurate rifle.
Purchasers have been disappointed to find that their sets may not live up to what we saw initially. Just check out the images of a purchased set below.
So while we applaud the small groups for trying to please the fans, we also want you to know that, sometimes the best plans do not turn out as desired, and so be careful when purchasing secondary add-on sets. Read reviews, be patient, and wisely spend your hard earned dollars on your beloved upgrades.
And by the way, these sets are available for purchase on eBay. You can check out the disappointed purchaser's thread
here.

It appears that no venue or product in known creation is capable of avoiding being part of the Transformers phenomena. With the myriad of products that bear the TF logo or representation on them, this should come as no surprise.
Australian hand bag maker
Fink Studio has taken it upon itself to create the ultimate in formal wear accessories: Autobot and Decepticon cuff links.
If you like these new additions to TF lore, you're far from alone as all sets of these cuff links have sold out. No word on whether or not these will be available again at this time.
Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more information on this story as it becomes available.
