ENERGON OMEGA SUPREME PICTURES
One of the favourite G1 'big guy' bots, Omega Supreme, is finally making his return in the Energon series. Most people remember Omega as the large Autobot with rail tracks strapped to his back, a chunky claw hand and the classic alt mode of a base. So what is the new Energon Omega Supreme like? Blurry pictures hinted suggestions, but recently released clear images have emerged, allowing us to finally get a good look at the guy!

ATARI PS2 GAME PREVIEW EVENT
As announced on the TAAU boards by one of Melbourne House's PS2 game developers, Desert Dog - which can be seen right here - Atari put on a huge show in Alameda, California on Tuesday, February 10 to promote their up-coming 'Transformers' computer game.
The spectacular event was held, believe it or not, on the gigantic USS Hornet Air Craft Carrier which was docked at the port, and the night included stage shows, music from band, Dropbox, game kiosks and discussions with the game developers themselves.
One US-based Transformers site, TFormers.com were lucky enough to attend the extravaganza and have posted a write-up and huge photo gallery of the evening right here.

PALISADES LINE SHRINKS
Before you get too upset, it’s not as bad as it seems.
Palisades will still be releasing a wide range of Transformers statues, however the statues' actual size will decrease. I am not overly ecstatic about the decision, but in order to help sweeten the deal they have delivered pictures of the new Grimlock Statue, so let's give them the benefit of the doubt and hear what they have to say:

DODGE CARS: THE UNOFFICIAL SPONSOR OF ALTERNATORS?

TAAU CHAT V2.0 LAUNCHES
Because I know how many of you love TAAU's Chat feature, but were a little frustrated with the 'server push' method used in the old version which constantly refreshed your screens - using up a lot of bandwidth, slowing your connections down and only displaying messages every couple of seconds - I have thus decided to ditch it and upgrade big time!
So, after a lot of implementation work, I am now very proud to announce TAAU Chat V2.0; a completely new application with a very powerful Java backend which requires no constant screen refreshing and delivers messages instantly, so there is no lag what-so-ever! This baby is even faster than IRC, you just have to see it to believe it!

TAAU GAINS SITE SPONSORSHIP
Good news people, TAAU is joining the big leagues! With around 1000 unique visitors a week coming to the main site now, a message board which has grown to well over 150mb in size as a result of the 50,000+ posts its received, plus downloads, streaming chat software and a newly created microsite to host the online version of our html-enabled newsletter, I've had to upgrade my hosting a number of times since I launched in 2001, and am now the proud owner of a package which boasts over 1gb of web space and virtually unlimited bandwidth.
However, such things don't come without a price, and for the past year I've had to pay well over $1000 for this setup, which, as you can imagine, ain't been easy for this humble web designer, despite offers by Blaster and Crank to donate money to keep it going (thanks for thinking of me guys!).
