NEWS/RUMORS/PRODUCTS: According to Professor Smooth, Scourge comes out this month as a full size Ultra RID figure. As for the Spychanger version of Scourge, let's just say he fits nicely into most places Spychangers could fit. Most notably a certain window in a certain 2 foot tall city Transformer. Might Fortress Maximus (Brave Maximus in Car Robots) be released here in the states as early as April 2002?

For Transformers statue fans, rumor has it that Hard Hero plans bi-monthly busts of Ironhide, Soundwave, Hotrod, Starscream, Grimlock, Prowl, and Arcee (possibly a full figure).

COTY: As many of you might have noticed, the COTY voting was hacked roughly between 5PM-8PM EST on Friday, November 30th. It is not known as fact who might have erased the data files for the COTY voting, but I do have my suspicions. I have banned several servers from being able to access SEIBERTRON. The poll was reset and the voting software was upgraded to utilize a powerful MySQL backend database which no longer uses text files that are easily modified. Please stop by ROCK THE VOTE to vote for the 2002 COTY.

NEWS/PRODUCTS: Botcon.com unveils a bunch of information about the upcoming Unicron product which turns out to be a 16"+ statue from Hard Hero. I'll admit ...
