TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Guide to V9 - Resources Section.
Some of you may have missed the launch of Version 9 of Transformers At The Moon, some 3 years after work first started on the new layout, code and features. You can't help but notice the changes, which the three column (holy-grail) layout that is now used, a return to the drop-down horizontal menu and introduction of "focus areas". These focus areas are helped to show you the vast content that you can find within the Transformers At The Moon database, and website. The area that i'll focus on at the moment is Resources.
The Transformers At The Moon resource section contains over 12 years of information that we have collated over the lifetime of the website. This information includes images of various Transformers merchandise, from rubbers to store displays, through to concept art and production pieces.
If you click the Resource Section you will find a list of different things to read and look at.
