After a series of communications with PaoloJ of Via Astris regarding Cybertron Philippines’ application as a Transformers group to the New Worlds Alliance, it’s now official. The group has been inducted today as full members of the alliance, as council members Stephen Si (Protoform-S), Alec Palomo (BlackBison) and Duane Cenido (Ziggy Stardust) attended the NWA council meeting at Brash Young Cinema in Makati City.
Here’s a short backgrounder on the group from their website. You can read the whole article by clicking here.
The New Worlds Alliance (NWA) was founded in 2003 by seven local science fiction and fantasy fan groups: Via Astris - The Star Trek Club of the Philippines, Star Wars Philippines, The Philippine Tolkien Society, Pinoy Harry Potter, Pinoy X-Philes, Pinoy Slayers, and The Alliance of Eclectic Gamers and Interactive Storytellers (AEGIS). Its aim was to provide a venue for Filipino science fiction and fantasy fans to interact, hold activities, and express themselves and their love for their respective fandoms.
Expect more of CybPh on NWA events, especially since next year is Transformers Year. 
Thanks to TFW2005:
First pics of the head of the movie Optimus Prime
Thanks to TFans and TFormers. A couple or of predacons…
And ravage.
According to tformers.com who is covering the Hasbro New Product Unveiling at BotCon 2006, here are the news related to the TF movie in 2007, including related merchandise:
- The movie will be released in the 4th of July, 2007 (7-4-7 for easy remembrance)
- The main toyline will be out on the 2nd of June, when EVERYTHING will be released.
- There will be two new movie preview figures to be released on the 2nd of May, nothing yet on who those two will be.
- The movie line will be a full line. It will be broad and will have multiple scales.
During the unveiling, a clip from the movie has been shown to them lucky fans. A short summary includes, but is not limited to, a yellow corvette, pics of OP as a truck, army scenes, lots of explosions, a jet flying by, a hummer, a blown-up bus, and more explosions. Also, there were no scenes of anything in robot mode.
Also, when a question was raised whether who had the most input on the character designs of the TFs from the movie, and they said that it was a great and fun partnership with Hasbro and Bay, one that is on trying to make cool characters that looked good on screen, but have a certain heritage. There were other stuff that were tackled, mostly on the IDWs, toy releases, and well, Optimash Prime, so read them all here.
On a side note, I’m ecstatic that they chose Red Alert to be the official mascot (?) for this year’s con. Power to the field medics!
