An interesting little rumour this. Apparently, although the upcoming Galaxy Force TV series is due to be set in an all-new continuity, the actual storyline may be a little familiar, as it's going to be a re-telling of Micron Legend/Armada!

Well, it seems the rumours were true - Newtype magazine have the next Transformers series will be called Galaxy Force in Japan (Cybertron in the west), and will be animated by top animation house Gonzo!

A blurry picture of what looked to be Convoy was circulating this week - this has been confirmed as the new design everyone's favourite Cybertron leader. A clear version of the picture can be view here (note what seems to be the lack of a mouth plate). There is also a black and white picture of the Destron leader Megatron (which sadly doesn't give away too much - although those do look like Unicron's shoulders....).
