If you are a fan of Transformers: The Movie from 1986, you may find the website TF Raw interesting. The blog has managed to collect the entire storyboard for the movie with around 1600 hand drawn images and notes.

Power of the Primes Cartoon Home Shutting Down

Verizon has announced that their go90 streaming platform will shut down on July 30, 2018. In the United States the platform was the home to the Prime Trilogy of computer animated cartoons from Machinima. The final episode of the cartoon series airs next week so fans will have a fairly short window to see the end of the trilogy. Verizon didn't indicate what will happen with their content once the service shuts down but I wouldn't be surprised if a significant chunk of it winds up on YouTube. The main takeaway from US Transformers fans is if you want to check out the Prime Trilogy, you only have a month to do it..
