I’m sure all of you remember Jimmy. He was one of the TFW2005 members who were on-site in Chicago bringing us photos as Transformers: Dark of the Moon filming happened. Here he is bringing us something very intersting which he found on Flickr..
Apparently someone has decided to erect tombstones in memory of Sentinel Prime and Megatron who died at the hands of Optimus Prime (on the Lasalle Street Bridge).
You can take a look at spudart's photostream on
Flickr and appreciate his hard work and dedication to the Transformers Franchise.

September 8th, 2001 - This was the American debut of Robots in Disguise - the US dub of Japan's Car Robots series from the year before. And today marks 10 YEARS since that happened, to the day.
This series has been ignored, forgotten, and tossed to the side by the powers that be, but there are still fans of it, both the show and toys, out there. It was the transition between the Beast Era and the new Millennium, encompassing many things we take for granted today. Autobots and Decepticons for starters. Realistic vehicle modes. Repaints of old molds into new characters. The "reboot" of continuity, while keeping core elements. G1 redecos of toys with similar style. All while keeping the Beasts in play for a bit longer, to transition those late 90s kids to the return of the Autobots.
There is a nice discussion of the series as a whole going on in relation to the 10 year anniversary here:
R.I.D. 10th Anniversary - 2001-2011, feel free to join in and share your thoughts. TFW will be doing some more RID celebrating before the year is out, so stay tuned!
Oh, and one more thing....

The official Botcon Twitter has been busy, sending out tweat after tweat on the 2012 set. The short version is that the mockups for the set are done and looking very good in the opinion of Fun Publications, that three of the toys in the set are seeing their first updates ever, and that for two, they have drawn on the "distant" past.
Plenty of material here to speculate on! What does it all mean? Two things we can tell you is that it's not Transformers Animated themed, and it's not Trailbreaker, Gears or Brawn - FunPub feels they are more deserving of the Hasbro Classics treatment, but that what they have in store is equally awesome!
Last but by no means least, I'm sure a few of you are asking "well great, but where and when is Botcon 2012 being held?" Gogdog and Seth Buzzard asked the question and got the following reply:
Oh, no, as SOON as we get everything finalized with the PTB and locked up we will announce.
NOBODY wants the locale and date announced more than us. We are working on it every day... LOTS of factors involved.Read on to view the original text of all the tweats involved!
