2. The ROTF comic issue #3 synopsis from the blog of Simon Furman:
"Okay, by now you probably know the score: another week another serving of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (the comic book adaptation). This week (3rd June in the US, 4th in the UK) it’s the turn of issue #3, and events crank up to fever pitch as the human contingent and crotchety old duffer Jetfire go in search (well, he’s a Seeker after all!) of the Tomb of the Primes! Meanwhile, the Decepticons are doing some searching too, and number one on their seek and eviscerate schedule is Sam Witwicky! Secrets from the Transformers dim, distant past are revealed and The Fallen… well, wait and see! Art this issue is by Alex Milne, pinch-hitting for regular artist Jon Davis-Hunt (who returns for #4… 22-pages weekly, it’s a killer schedule!)."

5. For those of you who couldn't make it to Botcon, never fear! The Razorclaw and Elita figures will be available in the Club store, says Pete Sinclair, so don't go trolling eBay just yet! (Speaking of eBay, I am doing some major trolling to get figures on my wish list, namely Armada Starscream, ROTF Sideswipe, G1 Deszaras and Leozack. Big thanks to Tori for getting me into Transformers Victory. The rest of you should watch it, too-- it's all Japanese, but subbed. Very good show.)

6. Target now has an offer-- buy 5 bags of M&Ms and you can get a 'free' Optimus Prime dispenser.

7. Also, some news that IDW is going to be putting previews of their comics online via iPublishCentral-- which is good news for a lot of us, since sometimes the 5-page leaked previews just aren't quite enough for us.

That's all for now-- I keep getting more and more excited for ROTF, can't wait!! 21 days left!

  1. huh, transformers victory, eh? I'll have to give it a try.

    So I can't seem to get blogspot to send me updates. Gonna have to poke at it some more.

    ...and suddenly I want 5 bags of m&ms. God I'm such a fangirl. Thanks for the info!

  2. Oh no! D: I think mine is working, others seem to say it is, but who knows.

    Mmm, M&Ms. Me too.

    (As a side note, Victory is available on YouTube, most of it, and there are several torrents floating around.)
