Dinobot month, yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MTMTE annual, yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve will you be stocking this annual and the RID annual due in September?

[Omega Steve]

The preorder page is already up for MTMTE but I don't think there is a RID annual. Dinobot month should rock! I'm particularly intrigued by the Regen issue with Grimlock on Nebulos. What's the bets the original heads of Fort Max and the other Headmasters feature? This could be a way for Brainstorm, Hardhead and Highbrow - all of them killed by Unicron in the showdown on Cybertron - to come back into the story. It's hard to believe that Grimmy still cannot transform, some 22 years after exposing himself to Nucleon.

According to what I read on Seibertron.com the RID annual comes out in September and the story is supposed to be linked into the MTMTE annual story.

[Omega Steve]

Yes I've also heard that the two annuals will be linked by a common story (or elements at least) and both are now available to preorder via the site. Diamond UK were charging silly money for these so I've shopped about and found a US importer that can supply me cheaper. Even then it's still £7.49 with postage (or £13.50 for two) but could have been worse.
