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.

Seibertron.com was first to bring you the news that HASBRO, Inc. had projected price increases for Deluxe Class figures and below way back here. Now, while are initial report stated that these increases were to take affect on September 1, 2008, most Transformers products actually saw a decrease in price in the retail chain "sale wars" that took place for the 2008 Holiday season. But Seibertron.com has just received photo proof that the price increase is upon us.





These photos were taken at an area Walmart store earlier today. While the price increase hit the Deluxe line of figures, no other figures within the 10 or less increase bracket appeared to be increased.

Seibertron.com will keep you updated with more information as it develops.

TFW2005 has found one more DCPI listing:

And have also revealed the pricepoints for the two combiner listings:

087-06-0146 TF MV2 Combiners = $29.99
087-06-0294 TRA Combiner TF MV2 = $99.99

So, the Superion and Briticus Maximus sets are likely the $29.99 listing, while the $99.99 listing could be something else. Maybe something... 'devestating'!

Brian Savage of the Transformers Club has posted some new information on the official Club boards about the upcoming Botcon 2009 figure set. Here's what he had to share:

OK, while we are working on finalizing the convention details, brochure and registration forms, we wanted to start the speculation game:

"For one young Autobot..." is all we have revealed so far. While we tend to guard the convention sets and souvenirs closely, I want to let you know that we are very excited about what we have waiting in the wings!

The set we have planned features a team of select Autobots never before featured in G1 in this way. The timeline we are spotlighting is new, yet very familiar...

Let the games begin!

Brian

G1 molds? Autobots? A possible counter to 2007's "Games of Deception" set? Only time will tell.
