Hi all!

I noticed many Transformers-fans on recent cartoon topics, so i'm asking for a little help:

I remember those cartoons, but havent seen them a looong time. And now there aren't any on TV, i can't find them in videostores (the give me that blank look :hmm: ) and i'm interested in Transformers and Robotech. So if you know a satellite channel or good web page with them, please tell me.

Thank you!

BTW. I tried with google but all i got were some looong out of date fan pages.

i'm a serious transformers geek, and can tell you that transformers is on a HUGE revival at the moment (as well as several other 80's toy-based 'maniae', e.g. GI Joe)

the toy lines have been going for a few years now, the end of the first comic book series have recently been released as graphic novels and a NEW comic series is coming out in a couple of months. in addition you can also get widely-available episodes and (several different versions of) the movie on VHS and DVD. if you need more info on how to get hold of these, e-mail me.

btw, for good news websites, try: www.bigbot.com (http://www.bigbot.com) and www.thetransformers.net (http://www.thetransformers.net)

I like the newer beast war series based on it. There's another show following but I forget its name. It used to come on channel 38 WADL or 14 if you have cable.

Ok guys, heres whats going on. Currently, there is a series called Transformers: Robots in Disguise. It is a Japanese offshoot of the old show. Some of the characters are the same, bit it is really a different timeline. And, the show's pretty dumb because its a little kiddy show. It's on FOX Kids, but they have put it to an hour where i never catch it anymore. Also, they are gonna have a new series in the fall called Transformers:Armada. No idea as of yet what that will be like. The old series is still be best i say! These episodes can still be found sometimes at stores like Best Buy, usually in DVD form. Also, my local BlockBuster has some old episodes on tape along with the movie. The movie isn't too hard to find. You can search amazon.com for movies and tapes and DVDs of episodes. They have a wide selection, but just look around too. As far as the toys go, theyre coming back big time. Search google or something for em. There's a lot of japanese remakes of the origional ones. Some good TF sites are www.bigbot.com (http://www.bigbot.com) , www.transformersnetwork.com (http://www.transformersnetwork.com) , and many others! Happy TFing!
Your TF Fan!
