Yeah. There are multiple shows that I would watch that debuted, or got moved to the Friday death slots, but somehow managed to survive for a bit (Dollhouse and Fringe, specifically). I think the only network that does all right is CBS, but that's also known as the Curmudgeon Broadcasting System.

The official website of the Transformers Universe Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) has been updated with a new splash page and for gamers to join the Autobot or Decepticon army and subscribe to updates. Visitors are invited to create an account as either an Autobot or Decepticon to possibly be invited to the beta testing, which is currently ongoing. Take a look at TransformersUniverse.com.

Hmm - that doesn't reference cable. I know that most of the time they use Fridays and Saturdays as death slots, or burn off slots. Remember when Fridays had TGIF? Or Saturdays had hits like Walker Texas Rangers?

Does death slot apply for cable? Especially childrens' stations?

Sweet! One way to keep your show popular: change the times around so they won't know when the show is on!

Peaugh has snagged a copy of FansProject's latest original entry into the third party realm, Warbot WB-002 Steelcore. The figure has some ideas visible from other multiple Transformers entries, such as the Targetmaster, but the figure is not an homage to any character in particular. Is it any good? Peaugh says it is indeed, and has a bonus third mode, too. Watch the review in the full article. Read the Full News Story Here

Revoltech has ponied up some great official looks at the upcoming Sci-Fi Revoltech No 040 Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime DX with Jetwing parts and battle axe. The extremely poseable series shows off Prime with the attachments that allow him to fly and cause havok, just like he did to Shockwave's driller in the film. In addition to the aforementioned extras, Prime will also come with a stand, alternate head and hands, and the movie sword. The figure is set for an October 1, 2012 release for 4800 Yen (~$61 USD). Check out the images in the gallery. Read the Full News Story Here

Thanks for the info! Collector-friendly for sure!

He's a Lambo. Those things barely have ground clearance to begin with.

The Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-16 Jet Vehicon could be a Takara Tomy exclusive mold and will not see a United States, release, similar to AM-12 Breakdown. PoweredConvoy of the AllSpark offers an image of the copyright information of the Jet Vehicon figure that only references Tomy (Takara Tomy is noted only as Tomy outside of Japan). Most figures that will be available by Hasbro somewhere down the line will typically reference the company in this area as well. Continue reading... Read the Full News Story Here

Demo available now! Check first post for information. For those interested, I will be playing on and off for the rest of the week during the day and evenings. Hit me up on my Xbox live tag "BWBM"

Takara Tomy Transformers designer Shogo Hasui has updated his Twitter page once again to offer up a new image of Masterpiece MP-12 Lambor (Sideswipe), this time striking a demanding pose. The figure is doing a high sidekick, balancing the entire figure's weight on one leg, with the arms in quite good form, showing that the figure is not only very poseable, but the weight of the figure is nicely distributed as well. The figure is only a couple of months out from its October 2012 release and will run for 5800 Yen (~$73 USD) with Amazon Japan offering exclusive pile drivers with a purchase of the figure. The figure will be reused again for MP-14 Red Alert. Read the Full News Story Here

ACToys member mraball has luckily managed to snag Voyager Powerdive, another Transformers Generations "China Import" figure that was recently released in Hong Kong and other Hasbro Asia markets. The figure is a redeco of Transformers Hunt for the Decepticons Highbrow with a brand-new head mold that has visor that can be raised and lowered. Enjoy the images in the gallery. If you find this figure desirable, do not worry about importing these figures; Hasbro announced at San Diego Comic Con 2012 that they will be available exclusively at Toys R Us stores beginning in October under the "China Import" line.
