Transformers: Galaxy Force Confirmed As Superlink's Sequel

Well, it seems the rumours were true - Newtype magazine have the next Transformers series will be called Galaxy Force in Japan (Cybertron in the west), and will be animated by top animation house Gonzo! As with Superlink, the show will mix regular animation with 3DCG, and is scheduled to begin showing in January 2005.

A blurry picture of what looked to be Convoy was circulating this week - this has been confirmed as the new design everyone's favourite Cybertron leader. A clear version of the picture can be view here (note what seems to be the lack of a mouth plate). There is also a black and white picture of the Destron leader Megatron (which sadly doesn't give away too much - although those do look like Unicron's shoulders....).
