The Alpha and Omega of combinations...

This month's update welcomes the addition of some Robot Masters figures to the archive; not all are there yet, but it is a start. Also finally making their way into the archive this month are E2 Ironhide and E-Beachcomber, the former delayed mainly due to time contraints in getting all of those Powerlinx mode pics. Big thanx to Richard Hernandez and Monzo for supplying some of the pics for this update! Also added this month are a ton of tech specs and bios for Energon and Universe; too many to list here.

First big update of the year!

The first big update, as promised, of 2005 is finally in. A ton of stuff added this time around, including two very rare finds, Black Shadow from the Japanese Victory series and Radio AM Robot, a Transformer exclusive to Argentina. Additionally, I've added a bunch of pics from many of the current Transformers series, including Energon, Universe, Alternators, the Toys R Us Commemorative Series, and a few E-Hobby exclusives.

Big thanx to Tim Mann and Monzo for supplying some of this update's pictures!

As always, there's more on the way from TFU.INFO! I'm hoping to get caught up with Robotmasters pics real soon and that's only the tip of the iceberg. The coming year is going to be a big year for this site, so keep watching!

It is the year 2005...

C'mon, how could I not do that? And in 2005, TFU.INFO is proud to bring you pictures of the first new figures to hit stores in the new year, four new Playskool Go-Bots. I found these new guys at Toys R Us among the regular Go-Bots stock. Though 2 of the new guys are recolors, and one a remold, the fourth, Speed-Bot Muscle Car, is fashioned from the mold originally planned for Racer-Bot Alpha. All the links are to your right, a massive regular site update coming in the next few days. Enjoy!

All-Hallows Update!

Finally, an update! Sorry it took so long, folks, but it's been quite a hectic time lately, and doesn't show signs of slowing down until after Election Day. Also, I've deliberately delayed this update to avoid any massive bandwidth downtime.

I'd like to thank the folks who made this update as exapnsive as it is: M Sipher, Salt Man Z, and Monzo for providing numerous pics for this update. Hopefully, the next update won't be too far off, as I already have a bunch of new figures to take pictures of (E2 Ironhide, E-Dreadwing, and the new Battle in a Box figures).

Lastly, TFU.INFO is currently seeking new sponsors for all of our ad space. As you can see above, the space previously belonging to JRS Toyworld is now vacant. I'd like to extend my deepest gratitude to Bill of JRS Toyworld for his continued support over the past year and urge you all make a stop to their site if you haven't done so yet.

Moreover, if you're interested in purchasing ad space on TFU.INFO, please drop me a line for rates and information! If you don't have a store or business and would like to help keep this site operating and updated consistently, please follow the PayPal Donate link at the top of this page.
