Proving that it's not just Transformers Dark of the Moon that is picking up the awards nominations!
Transformers Prime has received a nomination for "Best Kids Animated Series" in the
2012 Kidscreen awards. Transformers Prime is running against Rated A For Awesome and The Amazing World of Gumball. The winners of the awards will be announced on 9 February 2012.
Can Transformers Prime scoop up another award and win recognition as the quite frankly awesome series that it is?

Some more new third party product images have been posted over at Toys Pie. First,
from Dr Wu, is an image of the prototypes for their Universe Hound Gun and Ravage missiles. These are coming in at least three versions according to the picture, a silver set, a black gun / white missiles set, and a set of blue gun and blue missiles, probably for the Botcon Turbomaster with Shattered Glass Ravage.
To one side, there's also a City Commander head. Coincidence, or are Dr Wu carrying on their trend of new heads / faces for FansProject armors...?
A separate thread shows off a PVC figure of Season 3 and Headmasters human sidekick Danial Witwicky. Unlike the official SCF PVC, this Danial is rendered in his 2006 jumpsuit (I don't remember seeing kids wearing them back then...) This Danial Witwicky is scaled to be roughly knee-high against Classics Rodimus - which is about as in scale as a human PVC character is ever going to be.

The buzz might be all about Transformers Prime toys and this big chap named Hercules lately - but Dark of the Moon is not yet done! The Wal-Mart exclusive Cyberverse "Ultimate" Gift Set has been quietly popping into stores all over the place (so quietly we're not exactly sure when or where it first popped up...)
The set consists of recolors of Autobots
Optimus Prime,
Powerglide,
Sideswipe and
Bumblebee, all of whom stand united against the lone Decepticon
Crowbar. Perhaps the "Ultimate" in the set name refers to the scale of the beating Crowbar's going to get?
Keep up to date with the latest new findings in your area in our
Transformers Sightings board.

Chinese BBS site
Toys Pie (great name!) has uploaded some images of a new Classics Bumblebee customisation kit. These replacement heads convert a Classics Bumblebee into Bumper or Hubcap, and are a suitable alternative if you are not able to get the Renderform versions for any reason. They are by a new third party group called MGS.
Also on the link are images of a KO version of the Perfect Effect God Sword / Matrix Blade - are not even unlicensed third party products immune to being knocked off? Apparently not as rumors abound about KOs of FansProject Causality Insecticons and
even the Maketoys Battle Tanker being passed off as the real deal.

Some in-hand images of the Dark of the Moon repack of the Movie series Buster Optimus Prime and Jetfire two pack have surfaced over at
HK-TF courtesy of HKGolden Cybertron. These images confirm this set is a little different from a straight out repack of the
Jetfire and
Buster Optimus Prime from the previous Revenge of the Fallen two pack - while the Jetfire is more or less the same, the Buster Optimus Prime does not feature the gold chrome of the original two pack, but the silver of the original
Buster Optimus Prime release (but with the faceplate head of the original Revenge of the Fallen Leader - phew!). This small fact means that this is probably the best version of the two pack out there, with the accurate and premium level deco on Buster Optimus Prime, plus the GLORY OF JETFIRE!
