From fandom archivist and collector Jim Sorenson, we have a piece of news that may appeal to the more hardcore memorabilia collectors out there: an auction for small series of G1 Transformers animation cells, with all information listed below. Any bids should go via Sorenson directly, who can be contacted here, but take a browse of the images below!

One of my Transformers contacts has asked me to help sell a few G1 Transformers cells, so I figured I'd do this low-key. At present they have five for sale: Optimus Prime, Decepticons at Sherman Dam, Slag, Ratchet, and Ravage. The seller requests anonymity, so I'm acting as (unpaid) intermediary.

How this works is simple. If you're interested in any of these cells, just PM me your offer. (Note that, unless you live in driving distance from Hollywood, you're going to have to add 3% for paypal and another few bucks for insured shipping on top of your best offer, so price that into consideration.) After a week I'll pass on the best offers to the seller. That might include conceivably include multiple offers on the same piece, if one person for example makes an offer on three of the five cells. If the seller agrees, you'll paypal the money to me and I'll ship you the cell.

They're all nice pieces, with backgrounds. I can authenticate that they're original Sunbow pieces from back in the day. Good luck to anyone whose interested!

EDIT -- because people are asking, there are currently bids in the low hundred dollar range for each piece. Because it's not an auction I don't want to get too much more specific than that.

While not strictly Trasformers related, this message is perhaps a smidge more important right now. After the events in Texas, and the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, a number of celebrities have rallied support and donations for the people affected by the storm and floods - among them, director Michael Bay and actor Mark Wahlberg, who have taken to social media to show their support and relief efforts.

Similarly, site sponsor The Chosen Prime have set up a charity raffle, with Takara Tomy Legends LG-43 Dinosaurer/Trypticon, 2 TFcon VIP tickets, and a Bandai SOC Megazord to be won, with donations to the Red Cross, the Houston Humane Society, and Heart to Heart respectively. You can read more about all this below.

1/ Giving a 100k back to the great People of Texas, where I filmed many years. It's such a time of need for them right now. I'm going to...

2/ disperse to various animal shelters. And figure how to get out of state car carriers to truck in inexpensive cars to give out to...

3/ families who lost a car and have no insurance. Every bit counts. Everyone should just give a little.

A post shared by Mark Wahlberg (@markwahlberg) on Sep 1, 2017 at 1:26pm PDT

When tragedy strikes, it's our duty as Americans to lead the charge and help those in need. Our trucks are on the way! @Aquahydrate #Wahlburgers @diddy #hoUSton

Win a Takara LG-43 Trypticon by donating $5 to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey. All proceeds will be given over to the Red Cross in support of the relief efforts. Thank you in advance.

Every $5 donation is equivalent to 1 entry. Add more and help more! Show your Transformer Community Spirit by helping out in this cause.

The drawing of the prize is slated for September 8th, 2017. Prize winner will be notified via Email, and result will be posted on our Social Media Channels.

Seibertronians, we have a very cool little piece of news for you. The Prop/Animation auction company Profiles in History has released the listings for their upcoming Animation-themed auction titled Animation And Disneyana, and the lots range from Tim Burton models to Disneyland employee costumes, and everything in between. Although those are some of the oddities of the line up, what the auction has plenty of is animation cells and other production artifacts from many classic examples of the genre, specifically from The Transformers original cartoon and Transformers: The Movie. These include a "Character Bible", with an original character model for every Transformer from the Sunbow cartoon, apparently packaged with a bio for each, listing strengths and weaknesses and characteristics. Other lots consist of colored cells of Metroplex and Trypticon battling, as well as scripts for the episodes "Rust in Peace" (or what would become "Cosmic Rust") "Grimlock's New Brain", "The Return of Optimus Prime", and, most importantly, the original script for the 1986 Transformers Movie. The Transformers lots actually come from the personal collection of G1 Production Coordinator Paul Davids!

There's too many amazing lots to list here, so take a look at some of the coolest of the cool below, but then check out the entire catalogue here!(Transformers begin on page 36) The auction takes place on the 9th of December, and you can bid online, so Mark your calendars!

While he remains the only figure of Titans Return Wave 3 to not get a youtube review, some interesting news comes from fellow Seibertronian Bumblebee21 - a listing on Taobao.com for a prototype of the upcoming Leader-Class Sixshot. At the time of writing he is currently going for around 144 US Dollars; and even if you're not considering bidding yourself, it's certainly interesting to see pictures of the figure's prototype. Check out the link and images below and tell us what you think in the Energon Pub!

Seibertronians, you got $20,000+ currently burning a hole in your pocket? Well, we might have the buy for you. It turns out another unreleased G2 Stunticon prototype set has hit the ebays, with the bid currently sitting just over $1,000 USD at time of writing, although if the previous listings for the set are any indication, this combiner team can easily fetch 20 times that. That previous indication, of course, being when a different G2 Menasor prototype sold for over $26,000 USD. This will be one to watch, as this set is more complete than the former, so it could garner even higher numbers.

Did you bid? Did you win?! Let us know in the comments below!

Seibertronians, we've got something interesting for you, courtesy of our own ScottyP. While everyone's looking towards Amazon today, I'd like to re-direct your attention for a moment to Ebay. A user there by the name of protoprimex, a seller who seems to mainly deal in Transformers, listed this, a Transformers RPM Bumblebee in a new deco that was exclusive to the Hasbro Employees of 2009, up for sale.

We assume this was for a holiday promotion within the company, due to the winter-themed printing on the backing card. It also potentially lists out the departments this exclusive bug was sent to, or the subject matter the company worked on that year, on the back of the packaging:

Thanks for all your hard work!
Brand Creative Studios, Corporate Communications, Corporate Shows, Design & Development, Digital Media, Engineering, Finance, Global Brand Marketing, Global Consumer Insights, Hasbro Far East, Integrated Marketing Services, Legal, Model Services, Operations, Quality Assurance, Sales & Marketing, Senior Management, Uproar!

If you want to own a rare piece of Transformers merchandise, the auction is still open until Friday, the 15th of June, at 6:45 PST, and it's going for the reasonable price of $53.71 USD.

What are your thoughts on the Deco? Do you like it more or less than the Hasbro Version? Did you place a bid? Did you end up winning the auction and purchasing it? Please let us know!

And, of course, keep your optics and audio sensors tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest Transformers news.

Joe Moscone, affiliated with Hasbro and the Transformers brand for a long time, and who stepped down from his position not too long ago at Hunter PR, reached out to us to promote his current fundraising auction for cancer charity Receptions for Research. Moscone is putting his accumulated Hasbro items, from past SDCCs and more, entirely up for grabs, with all proceeds going to the charity organization. The lot includes the likes of Transformers, G.I. Joe, Star Wars and more! Check out the letter he sent us, take a peek at the photo below, and head here to start bidding, and do some good.

Joe Moscone wrote:Following last year's first successful attempt at auctioning items from my personal toy collection to benefit our fundraising efforts in support of RECEPTIONS FOR RESEARCH: THE GREG OLSEN FOUNDATION, we're back at it again!

I wanted to share details of our eBay charity auction with you. If you're able to spread the word with your friends and readers, we will be eternally grateful.

What it's all about ...

For me, it began seven years ago, when I first learned of Receptions For Research: The Greg Olsen Foundation, an incredible group devoted to providing hospitals, doctors and scholars across the nation the resources necessary to treat and enrich the lives of those affected by various forms of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Since 2010, I have led a small group of friends - we call ourselves the New Jersey Grabowskis - in fundraising for the foundation through a variety of local community and social media tactics. Last year, my girlfriend Caitlin and I introduced the charity toy auction into the fray in an attempt to take our fundraising efforts to the next level - and boy did it ever!

My team has now raised more than $80,000 since we began seven years ago, and as we approach the homestretch of this year's campaign, we're hoping that you can help us elevate our fundraising once again by sharing word of our charity eBay auctions with your friends and readers.

We are auctioning a variety of toys and collectibles from our personal collection. I gathered all these items during my many years working with Hasbro's Entertainment Brands and through friends in the industry. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of each and every item in this auction will go to Receptions For Research. Unlike last year, when we posted a dozen or so items a week across a month or so, this year we're putting everything (30+ items) up all at once for a single 7-day run. IT'S LIVE NOW!

Here's a link to our eBay auction: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?siteid=0&pub=5574891718&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fm.html%3F_nkw%26_armrs%3D1%26_ipg%26_from%26_dmd%3D2%26_ssn%3Dcelgin013%26_sop%3D16%26
