DAN GILVEZAN began his career in animation as Spider-Man/Peter Parker on NBC’s “Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends.” He went onto to perform lead characters in a great many action/adventure shows of the mid to late 80’s including: Slipstream on “GI Joe: A Real American Hero,” Dargon on “Dino-Riders,” Dirk Courage on “Spiral Zone,” as well as everybody’s favorite yellow Volkswagen, Bumblebee, on the “Transformers.” On the lighter side he voiced Cooler, the leader of the “Pound Puppies” for Hanna-Barbera, and the ever put upon Henry Mitchell in CBS’s “New Adventures of Dennis the Menace.”
On-camera appearances have included guest-starring roles on "Desperate Housewives," "Bones," “NYPD Blue,” “The Bernie Mac Show,” “Third Rock From the Sun,” “Diagnosis Murder,” “Sabrina, the Teenaged Witch,” Boston Legal and the cult favorite "She wolf of London/Love and Curses."

Our sponsors
TFSource have received some new images from BTS Toys of the
upcoming Savage and Nightfang cassettes. These new images show BTS' not-Ravage and not-Ratbat in their combined forms - if you picked up the previous set of Minions, Tremor and Frequenzy, you can attach their piledrivers / guns to Savage, or combine Nightfang with one of the the robots to form a winged robot mode reminiscent of the last assortment of Action Masters. Savage also appears to be able to seat one of Tremor or Frequenzy on his back if you are so inclined.
Read on and check out the new images.

Ever since the release of their Hercules project, fans of the 3rd Party Group TFC Toys have been dying to know what project the group will tackle next. We're one step closer to finding that out, thanks to some design sketches found over on
ACToys of what look like
Strafe,
Nosecone,
Lightspeed and
Afterburner. In other words,
Computron and the Technobots. This matches up to TFCToys' recent teasing through social media saying the project would have the color red at first and then changing their answer to white.
Take this as a rumor for now as these are only design sketches and there are no physical prototypes as of yet. Click the title bar to check out all the sketches and then head over to the
3rd Party Discussion forum to discuss the possibilities!

The Robochris Rakutan store has updated with some new images of
Transformers Prime Japan Arms Micron Terrorcon Cliffjumper. The new images show that Terrorcon Cliffjumper has gone for a completely purple "Dark Energon" deco, rather than the red deco with purple Dark Energon "burn" deco. There's also some images of his Arms Micron partner, a Revenge of the Fallen Ravage style animal partner that turns into a chainsaw.
There are also some images on the page for
Voyager Class Starscream's Arms Micron partner - a spy plane that looks like it turns into some kind of double pronged blade.
