Seibertron.com member Ultra Primal has just informed us that the fellow Transfans and podcasters over at
Moonbase 2 have reported some interesting information.
According the podcast, Transformers original voice actor Frank Welker has received a package, via the United States Postal Service directly from Paramount Pictures.
What could this mean? Could it mean that Transfans voices have been heard and we will see the return of a TF legend?

Our friends over at the
Nordic Transfans Association were fortunate enough to sit down and talk with HASBRO's Global Brand Marketing Director Michael Vibede Vanting recently.
Here's an excerpt from the interview:
NTFA: Was the Transformers brand a deliberate choice of yours, or were you assigned to that brand?
MVV: After a few months of being at Hasbro in the United State, I was asked to join the new Transformers global team. I was very pleased as, in my opinion, it is one of Hasbro’s “coolest” brands to work on. It is a pioneer for a lot of the things we are doing at Hasbro with re-vitalizing our brands via different modes of entertainment, I find that very exciting and a great opportunity. Finally the Transformers team of designers and marketing people are so talented that it is a privilege to work on the team.
The interview makes for a great read and lets us know that HASBRO worldwide cares about the faithful consumers that love the brands they bring to us. Getting a chance to talk to someone within the industry is an opportunity no News Crew member would pass up for any TF website. So HASBRO, if you're reading this, I'm ready when you are.

A few weeks ago, Seibertron.com gave you the scoop on the upcoming
MECH RC Robots that were designed by Transformers Artists, Andrew Wildman and Don Figueroa. One of those artists, Andrew Wildman, has just updated his personal blogspot: Wildwords, with some more info regarding the release of the first robot.
It appears that the United Kingdom will get first dibs on these new creations. In an article that Wildman sites on his blog,
ElectricPig.co.uk states
"Often is the case that all the best consumer bots get their debuts in Asia or America but this fine specimen is set to hit the shops in early October and it’ll be UK consumers gloating to overseas robot lovers."
So our UK bretheren will get first crack at owning one of these bad boys, but apparently at a hefty price. The MECH RC bots are due to hit UK shelves in October of 2008 with a retail tag of £399.99. That's just over $800.00 USD, for your information.
But still, these new bots promise to bring a new revolution to the industry of home robotics.
"Ready to run straight out of the box after a battery power-up the Mech RC uses an entertaining on-screen software which you manipulate the movements of the robot as an animation then load up your action sequence."
Electric Pig stated that it will be allowed the first test run of the robots prototypes in the coming weeks.
Seibertron.com will continue to update you on these new robots as developments occur.

Transformers comic book writer Simon Furman has done another update to his personal blog. In this update he gives us the goods on the far off book,
Maximum Dinobots #2. In his usual manner, he gives us more teasers than actual spoilers, but one thing he assures us of is that things will go from bad to horrific.
Here's a taste of what he had to tell us:
...the good news is, after about 10,000 years or so under solidified lava (see Spotlight: Shockwave for details) all the Dynobots are finally reunited. The bad news is, after about 10,000 years or so under solidified lava (see Spotlight: Shockwave for details) all the Dynobots are finally reunited. Not a typo.
And if that ruined the book for you, then don't bother reading the rest of what he had to say. According to the post, artist Nick Roche isn't talking to him because of the fate of one particular Autobot.

here for all the good badness on this book set for release in December 2008.

The Hollywood Reporter has posted an article regarding the casting of Rainn Wilson for TF2. In the article, it gives us a look at the production of the film and some of the events that will be taking place during the filming. Another interesting bit of info is the mention of returning cast members. Taken from The Hollywood Reporter:
"The sequel to last year's megahit about a race of automotive automatons smashing it out on Earth reteams director Michael Bay with returning stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro."
Most of the cast returning had already been confirmed, but this is our first report of Josh Duhamel and John Turturro returning. It is easy to assume that Duhamel will resume his role as Captain Lennox of the United States Air Force, but as for Turturro and the disbanning of Sector 7, its anyones guess what his role will be.

Recently in the news there has been a lot of talk of lead paint contaminations, recalls and voluntary recalls of certain toys from China. This has mainly effected the
Mattel company whose main toy lines are Barbie, Hot Wheels, Fisher Price and many more. As this threat of lead paint is on many consumers minds, CEO of Hasbro Al Verrecchia has issued a statement on
Hasbro.com. Mr. Verrecchia states Hasbro's commitment to quality products, and what Hasbro does to ensure the safety of all it;s products.
Letter from Al Verrecchia
Statement on Toy Safety From Hasbro's Chief Executive Officer
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
As the President and Chief Executive Officer of Hasbro, no issue is more important to me than the safety of our toys and of the children who enjoy them.
At Hasbro, we are proud that our own safety standards meet or exceed all federal regulations and that we set the highest standards for our own factories as well as our vendors wherever they may be located, including China. We are also proud that none of our toys or games was affected by the recent recalls related to lead paint.
To ensure compliance with our high standards, Hasbro requires tests and quality control checks at multiple stages of the manufacturing process. These procedures, which have been in place for many years, have always included - and continue to include - independent, third-party testing of our products.
Specific to the issue of lead paint: paints used on Hasbro products are tested and inspected before application on our products. We test the same paints during various stages of production, including on finished product as it leaves the production line and before it gets shipped.
In an abundance of caution, we are taking additional steps as part of our thorough proprietary safety procedures to confirm that our procedures are being adhered to and that we are doing everything possible to make the safest toys for your children. For example, we have increased the frequency of our product testing. We have also stepped up inspections of all of our products both in our company-owned plants in the United States and Ireland, as well as our vendors in China, and we will continue to make more frequent, unannounced visits.
Overseeing this effort is a team of full-time Hasbro quality control engineers and inspectors based in Hong Kong and China. These employees, who are part of Hasbro's U.S.-based global quality assurance team, are often present on the factory floors of our vendors to confirm the quality and safety of our products.
We hope this gives you a better understanding of Hasbro's quality control programs and the many steps we take to ensure the safety of our toys so that you can continue to purchase them with confidence. While I can't guarantee that a recall won't ever happen, I can promise that we are taking every possible precaution. What I can say, however, is that if an issue of product safety should arise, we will address it quickly, openly and decisively.
I would also like you to know that we maintain a strong working relationship with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Our in-house product safety experts interact regularly with CPSC officials to share information regarding our products and practices.
We continue to take the safety of our children - mine and yours - very seriously. That's my commitment to you - as a CEO, as a parent, and as a grandparent.
Sincerely,
Al Verrecchia
Chief Executive Officer

The following has been taken directly from his MySpace Blog.
"
I was denied entry into the UK because of an immigration policy
involving a work permit, so my shows there were canceled. I apologize for any inconvenience to
my fans, many of whom traveled great distances. I did everything I could, but it was
beyond my control. We're looking ahead to arrange something there in the near future.
Yours,
Stan Bush".
