With the news that Takara´s going to reissue Targetmaster Hot Rodimus, the fan community has been going crazy speculating that this could mean that certain OTHER re-issues they´ve done may be getting the "Targetmaster Treatment." Among figures that´ve already been reissued that could be repainted and re-packaged are Meister (Jazz) as Stepper and Inferno as Artfire. This doesn´t only seem possible, but likely. With Hasbro echoing Takara´s reissues, could it be only a matter of time before Artfire and Stepper are actually available in US stores? Keep ´em glued to this space for any further updates on this fun little rumor...

By now you´ve all seen the upcoming Mazda Alternator. And you´ve all probably said to yourselves, "Golly Jee, I don´t know what Transformer name it´s going to have!" Alright, so you might not have said "Golly Jee," but you were wondering. Well, so was I. And apparently so were the bunch of people who flooded my inbox with their guesses. Thanks everyone, who sent in their suggestions. It seems the two most popular choices are Cliffjumper and Jazz. The head and design of the body are definately reminicent of Jazz (or "Autobot Jazz" as he´s now called on Hasbro´s shelf clogging reissue.) We might not know for awhile, especially considering it´s not set to hit shelves until September, and we didn´t find out that the Corvette Alternator was going to be named Autobot Tracks until very recently.

The following information was obtained from a comic shop owner in the UK:

If you´re across the pond and enjoy Hard Hero´s Transformer busts and statues, you´ve probably noticed that unless you buy them at Forbidden Planet, you´re paying through the nose! That´s because Forbidden Planet was the only UK retailer able to buy directly from Hard Hero. But no more, Forbidden Planet no longer has the exclusive rights to distribute the Generation One statues and busts. Seems fans have already noticed the prices coming down on such items as the Giant Devastator bust. If you´ve been holding off on these, now´s your chance to get ´em at a more reasonable price!
