TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called New images of the e-Hobby Transformers United Decepticons.

The Ark Addendum - Megatron\'s Master Plan Part e

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called The Ark Addendum - Megatron\'s Master Plan Part e.

Jim Sorenson has updated his blog Disciples of Boltax with a new Ark Addendum entry entitled Megatron\'s Master Plan (e).  Here\'s what Jim had to say about this weeks update

\"Just as I started on what I felt was a high point, I wanted to end the same way.  The first post in the series, back in December of 2008, focused on propaganda.  We went through some models of Berger\'s rocket and some structures in the episode, but I figured I\'d finish off with the models that make up Central City.  It seems to be quite a large metropolis, with a robust skyline, a huge stadium, a massive city hall, and a fairly contentious political scene.  One wonders if The Flash is around to keep things safe.  Sadly, the futuristic version of this town gets crushed in Five Faces of Darkness when Metroplex and Trypticon battle.  Ah, well, easy come, easy go.I hope you enjoy this detailed examination of the nearest city to the Ark as much as I did. \"
