But over at Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood, it seems the predictions for the film's opening five day weekend are enough to make any studio accountant's hair stand on end.Finke reports that Paramount's rival studios are predicting that Transformers 2 could scoop up to $160m if not more in its opening five days, which is just ahead of the performance of Spider-Man 2 at roughly the same part of the year. That kind of number would effectively treble the performance of Terminator: Salvation - and the two were seen as rivals for some time - while also making it a virtual shoo-in for another $300m take.Granted, it all means nothing until the cash is in the bank, but come Wednesday 24th June over in the States (and, amazingly, five days earlier on the 19th in the UK), it's fair to say that cinemas are expecting to be really quite busy. - [Fox is A Loner](https://transmy.com/bulletin/fox_is_a_loner.htm) - 'Transformers' star Megan Fox has revealed that she doesn't want to throw away her career by getting in with the wrong crowd. - [Shia Defends Bay](https://transmy.com/bulletin/shia_defends_bay.htm) - In a recent interview with Wizard magazine, Shia LaBeouf has defended director Michael Bay's style of filmmaking, saying Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be his best effort to date. - [Shia Talks ROTF & His Kiss](https://transmy.com/bulletin/shia_talks_rotf_his_kiss.htm) - The countdown is on for 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,' in theaters and IMAX June 24, and only ET has the exclusive details on Shia LaBeouf's hand injury, kissing Megan Fox -- and the largest explosion in film history -- from Shia and Megan themselves!"It's the best action film you'll see this summer; it has the biggest explosions of any action film," Shia tells our own Mark Steines of the fireball that made the Guinness Book of World Records.

Fame doesn't mean anything because anyone can be famous, and TV news is mindless bulls**t."The 23-year-old star also heaped scorn on politics, claiming much of what is reported is manipulated to make the public feel good.

Later this month, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" will try to keep the streak alive by living up to its predecessor.Now, the people behind the popular franchise are talking trilogy."We enjoy making these movies. It's just like going to adrenaline-rush camp," grinned Shia LaBeouf, who stars in the series as Sam Witwicky. "It's a lot of fun to make.""This [franchise] opened all of the doors that it did and gave me a lot of undeserved success," said Megan Fox, a breakout star from the first film. "I'm really happy to have been a part of these films, obviously, and if they wanted me to come back for a third one, I would."I owe them," she laughed. "I owe them my career, really."So with a 2012 release date already hanging over their heads, the next question is a simple one: What would "Transformers 3" be about?"I'd like to see some version of Galvatron," said Roberto Orci, who wrote the first two films with his partner Alex Kurtzman. "I would like to see Unicron, too, and really anything that ends in the word 'ron.' ""Dinobots!" Orci added. "I think, eventually, the Dinobots are going to have to happen."Although some fans remember the dinosaur-shaped Transformers as being a bit cheesy, Orci doesn't see it as an obstacle.

Now the tables are reversed, as some of the biggest movies this summer are coming right out of Hasbro's own toy chest.Case in point, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the latest installment of the Transformers franchise, which opens in theaters on June 24. Analysts believe the film from Paramount Pictures (VIA) and director Michael Bay could be even bigger than its 2007 predecessor, Transformers, which grossed $700 million worldwide at the box office. That movie also sold $480 million worth of toys for Hasbro, 13% of the company's overall sales in 2007.There's more on the way. Hasbro has a movie based on its G.I. Joe toy line coming out on Aug. 7. The company has an April 2011 release for a movie version of its Stretch Armstrong figure. That is part of a six-picture deal the company has with Universal Studios (GE), which included a movie version of Monopoly. Meanwhile, archrival Mattel (MAT) is working on movie versions of Hot Wheels and Major Matt Mason.Turning its own toy brands into movies has a lot of benefits for Hasbro. The company doesn't have to spend as much on toy marketing since the movie studio is already doing that to promote the film. In the case of summer movies, it also means the toymaker spreads its sales more evenly throughout the year. And Hasbro doesn't have to pay the fat licensing fees to filmmakers that made Star Wars creator George Lucas one of the company's largest shareholders. "I can't give you specifics," says Hasbro's chief executive, Brian Goldner, but "it is more profitable when we own the brand."ENDURING APPEALSince the original Transformers toy line and cartoon made their debut 25 years ago, the saga of cars, airplanes, and other devices that convert into battling robots has proven to have a wide, enduring (and for many people, surprising) appeal. Hasbro now has a large base of parents who are as familiar with the franchise as their kids. Michael Spector, a 37-year-old Web producer in Easton, Penn., has 600 Transformers action figures in his collection, so many it took a whole day to move them. He's planning on buying a few more of this year's versions, mostly on behalf of his 8-year-old son, T.J. "It's a bonding thing," Spector explains. "Who doesn't want to see robots beating the heck out of each other?"Hasbro has borrowed heavily from its Star Wars experience in creating Transformers toys. There are $300 limited-edition robot sets for adult collectors, $22 action figures with lights and sound for younger kids, even $12 preschool robots. This year's Bumblebee Voice Mixer helmet, $40, looks suspiciously like a Darth Vadar toy Hasbro created under its Star Wars license. The $40 Plasma Cannon is a fatter version of a light saber.Like Lucas, Hasbro has found ways to connect with its fans even in years when movies aren't released. BotCon, an annual conference for Transformers toy collectors, which Hasbro sponsors, just celebrated its 15th year. It drew a record 7,000 attendees to Pasadena, Calif., in early June. "It's fantasy," says Brian Savage, whose company organizes the shows. "People have to have something they enjoy." - [Star Wars is Hasbro's Insipiration for TF](https://transmy.com/bulletin/star_wars_is_hasbro_s_insipiration_for_tf.htm) - You might think that George Lucas' epic space fantasy has little to do with Hasbro's line of warring robots that can turn into vehicles, cities and scary sorority girls... but you'd be very wrong indeed, it seems.Business Week profiles Hasbro's efforts to keep the Transformersbrand hot, and notes that Hasbro isn't above recycling old Star Wars toys to serve as new Transformers product:Hasbro has borrowed heavily from its Star Wars experience in creating Transformers toys. There are $300 limited-edition robot sets for adult collectors, $22 action figures with lights and sound for younger kids, even $12 preschool robots. This year's Bumblebee Voice Mixer helmet, $40, looks suspiciously like a Darth Vadar toy Hasbro created under its Star Wars license. The $40 Plasma Cannon is a fatter version of a light saber.The plus side of Transformers for the toy manufacturer over Star Wars? Chief executive Brian Goldner makes it clear:I can't give you specifics [but] it is more profitable when we own the brand.Not that that makes it all win for the company; surprisingly, they have to split profits from movie-based toys with Paramount and Michael Bay, and Japanese originator of the concept Takara Tomy gets a cut of all Transformer-based money. But, as the BW article points out, how could that be a problem when Transformers are becoming a beautiful family experience like this?:Michael Spector, a 37-year-old Web producer in Easton, Penn., has 600 Transformers action figures in his collection, so many it took a whole day to move them.

From the story:"'They were responsible for building the cars, and I was trying to get my check because we built the cars, fronted them the money, and they were late on paying us,' Bay says. 'I was like, 'We better get our check fast before they go bankrupt.'"After putting the pressure on, Bay was told: The check is in the mail, a detail that makes the filmmaker laugh. 'We got it. We got it sent normal mail,' he says."The summer blockbuster, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, opens June 24.

When Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opens June 24, some of the new robot heroes will take the shape of Chevrolet vehicles, part of a deal the struggling General Motors signed for the first film, released in 2007.The arrangement required GM to supply vehicles, some forthcoming products (such as the Chevy Volt) and some fantasy concept cars (like the sleek Corvette Stingray). Some had to be constructed for the movie, and though GM's financial woes and eventual bankruptcy didn't disrupt production, director Michael Bay says it did cause some tense moments."They were responsible for building the cars, and I was trying to get my check because we built the cars, fronted them the money, and they were late on paying us," Bay says. "I was like, 'We better get our check fast before they go bankrupt.' "After putting the pressure on, Bay was told: The check is in the mail, a detail that makes the filmmaker laugh. "We got it. We got it sent normal mail," he says.Chevy won't reveal what it cost to provide cars, but spokesman Steve Janisse says 67 vehicles were used, and 52 of those were "non-salable," specially built prototypes used for testing, engineering and display.While participating in a movie may seem counterintuitive given GM's hardships, the company says Transformers could be a big help. "Although we've significantly reduced spending around all promotions, and in this case we did not pay any placement fee, we still need to market and sell cars and trucks," Janisse says.

However, some good news is that Revenge only slid 42% in its week-over-week gross at $24.2 million compared to the 62% slide in its second weekend. The film has also surpassed the domestic gross of Transformers at just 17 days at the box office, putting the film at a total domestic box office gross of $339.2 million. As of Sunday, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has amassed a little over $364.5 million in the foreign box office to put the film at a worldwide total of $672.3 million.

The same goes for "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" ... if your friend is Clear Channel. To assemble a summer blockbuster-sized soundtrack, Reprise Records enlists the help of modern rock's biggest names. Nothing here is too surprising or even very interesting. Linkin Park offers up the film's main theme with "New Divide," Green Day lends their rock-opera ballad "21 Guns," and Nickelback donates a song that sounds like all their other songs. The only noteworthy moment is Utah's own The Used contributing a horrific, gothed-out reworking of Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House." The Fray, Hoobastank, and The All-American Rejects all throw in a track for the ladies and Staind takes care of the low-end growling. It may be hard to comprehend what it feel like when transforming robots finally take over the world, but at least we know what it will sound like. Bummer.

So it is that I somehow have in my possession a bunch of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen plastic nonsense. Since we'll review anything that comes into the Peripherally Speaking office (we don't have an office), I am now going to write about it. I have a DS Lite protective case and two styluses for your consideration today. Read on as I review what are perhaps the most ludicrous and inconvenient DS accessories I've ever had the privilege of utilizing. Read on and be perplexed! Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen DS Lite Armor & StylusesCompany: PDPMSRP: $19.99 [Starter Kit w/ case & stylus] $12.99 [individual styluses] If you really, really like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, then you'll enjoy the way these items look. They certainly have that ridiculously over-the-top and cluttered appearance that Michael Bay's Transformers have, kind of like a fourteen-year-old's idea of what Cyberpunk is. Let's start by focusing on the DS Lite case, shall we? Unlike the NERF Armor that we previously reviewed, the Megatron Armor is nowhere near as possessive of one's DS, snapping on and off quite easily. However, the ease of use comes at the expense of durability. The simple plastic is lightweight but weak and the hinge that keeps both sides of the case together is very loose and comes apart quite easily. It'll protect the DS Lite from cosmetic scuffs and scrapes, but it won't survive any heavy duty damage. It's also quite difficult to use the volume and power buttons, at least for adults. Children may have an easier time getting their hands into the spaces provided to flick switches, but if you're thirty-years-old, you might want to consider something else. Of course, if you're a thirty-year-old who was considering this in the first place, that might be the least of your worries and you should probably seek professional help. Of particular interest is the handy carrying pod at the back of the case. The back of the Megatron Armor slips down to provide two game cartridge slots. They fit pretty snugly in there and the hard rubber lid provides some extra protection for your precious games. It's a neat little extra for sure. Now, let's get to the main event ... the most ridiculous pair of styluses on God's green Earth! The two styluses are based on Megatron and Bumblebee, although quite how they resemble them outside of the color scheme is beyond me. I think the Megatron one might be his arm or something, but I'm not quite sure. I've not ruled out the possibility that these styluses are supposed to be replica penises for the two popular robots. Ironically, while the Megatron stylus looks like the more impractical of the two, it's actually much easier to use. The bizarre prongs toward the end of the stylus are surprisingly comfortable and fit the positioning of one's fingers quite well. In contrast, the flat, angular edges of the Bumblebee stylus make it impossible to use comfortably. Nevertheless, both of them are stupidly huge and make the user look like a complete and utter idiot. Fortunately, complete and utter idiots are exactly the kind of people these products are being marketed to, so if you're that special breed of moron who loved Revenge of the Fallen so much that he'd seriously consider buying these things, then you won't be disappointed. You don't have the taste or intellectual capacity to feel let down by something like this.

That's what makes humans being, you know. Fights in forrests with Optimus taking on Megatron, Starscream and that other dude are awesome enough but what we need now is interstellar space battles. Transformers 3 should take place in space as much as possible. So what does one do in space? Visit planets. Visit home worlds like Cybertron. Learn about the origins a little more. The third movie needs to have the Autobots searching for something they need to SOLVE THE PROBLEM. In movie parlance, this is the McGuffin, a the plot device to make things tick over to help solve the PROBLEM. Every film needs a McGuffin. For the first animated movie it was the Matrix of Autobot Leadership. The second had the All Spark, the third some kind of variant on the Leadership Matrix. The Autobots should be looking for the The Key of Light in space, on a new planet or on Cybertron itself. Lets call it The Key of Light. But what is the Key of Light for? It solves the problem. And would the problem be? In the end there can only be one problem, and his name is UNICRON. The Shiva of the Universe. Destroyer of Worlds. The biggest bad ass robot there is.

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" surpassed the 11-year-old record of 360 million yuan set by "Titanic," spokesman Weng Li at the state-run China Film Group told The Associated Press. "Titanic" made about $43 million based on exchange rates in 1998, the year it was released. Weng said the "Transformers" sequel, released June 24, received a wide release on several thousand screens. China had about 4,100 screens by the end of 2008. The first "Transformers" installment raked in 280 million yuan in 2007. "This is a tremendous achievement for the market in China and clearly shows that there is a strong growing demand for international films," said Mike Ellis, Asia-Pacific managing director of the Hollywood trade organization, Motion Picture Association of America. The group wants China to relax its movie import quota of allowing in just 20 foreign blockbusters a year, aimed at boosting its domestic industry. Weng said both installments of John Woo's two-part Chinese historical epic "Red Cliff" earned 300 million yuan ($44 million) this year and last, as did Chinese director Feng Xiaogang's 2008 romantic comedy "If You Are the One." "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," a science fiction movie, was apparently slightly censored. In the film's opening sequence, the Autobots and Decepticons battle in an industrial part of Shanghai, but when a U.S. military commander refers to the city, the word "Shanghai" is muffled. Chinese censors are sensitive to portrayals of their country in foreign movies. The "Transformers" record also highlights the earning potential of Hollywood films in China. But with piracy a lingering problem and moviegoing largely the habit of wealthier urbanites, the growing Chinese box office revenues remain small compared to the U.S. The "Transformers" sequel earned $62 million on its opening day in the U.S. alone. The $200 million production has grossed $348 million in the U.S. and $380 million outside the country, according to the box office tracking Web site Box Office Mojo. Chinese box office revenues totaled 4.3 billion yuan ($630 million) in 2008, compared to $9.8 billion in the U.S. in the same year.

For reasons as yet unclear - [Hollywood Ruin Childhood Memories](https://transmy.com/bulletin/hollywood_ruin_childhood_memories.htm) - As expected, G.I. Joe won a weekend at the box office two weekends ago. Between that and the summer-long success of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, people are talking about the power of toy company HASBRO at the box office. But just because the promise of childhood nostalgia has been enough to lure twenty-somethings into the theater, it doesn't necessarily mean they've been leaving happy. Transformers 2 has a dismal 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. G.I. Joe is faring only slightly better. And these are just the latest creative disappointments in Hollywood's never-ending quest to bring our most beloved childhood memories to life on the big screen. But whether they're remaking classic family films (Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas), adapting our favorite children's books (Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat), or attempting to bring our favorite toys to life (see above) they always let us down. Here are a few ways in which they usually fall short: 1. They modernize it: The marketing theory behind movies like G.I. Joe and Transformers is that the studios will be able to attract both the kids looking for a break from their usual diet of the current Nickelodeon cartoons, and the parents who originally played with the toys and watched the cartoons they're based on. It's something new and exciting for the kids, and something old and familiar for the adults. Everybody wins, right? Wrong. Because when it comes to how the film is ultimately going to look and feel, the filmmakers will have to choose between appealing to the kids and appealing to the adults -- and they stand to make more money if they go after the kids. That means modernizing things. It means giving G.I. Joe newfangled weapons and designing Transformer robots that will look impressive to kids who grew up with iPods and Xboxes. It's hard to feel nostalgic toward something you barely recognize. 2. They prolong the premise: Just because something's popular doesn't mean it's a good idea for a movie. Your average children's picture book doesn't have enough story to fill two hours of film. That's why it was conceived as a 20-page picture book and not a movie. As Jim Carrey and Mike Myers learned with their respective Dr. Seuss movies, failing to live up to the challenge of coming up with filler scenes that are worthy of the iconic source material will weaken your entire film. 3. They waste your imagination: You know how your parents and teachers always preferred that you read a book or go outside and play with your toys rather than watch TV or a movie? That's because your mind is getting more valuable exercise interpreting words and acting things out with dolls and action figures than it gets watching a story unfold on the screen. When you're reading a book, you're picturing your own private Narnia. You're imagining yourself fighting COBRA. And as great as it would be to see a talented filmmaker use their impressive resources to build those worlds for you to view again as an adult, it's just never going to give you as much joy as building it with your own LEGOS did. Instead of relying on Hollywood to re-create your childhood for you, you may be better served to just enjoy observing the childhood of your own kids. Share in their excitement as you both get to discover the classics of tomorrow. And look forward to the day when they'll grow up and start grumbling about Hollywood wrecking their childhood memories, too.

And you can bet that a small battalion of lawyers for the networks, cable, gaming, and computer industries would like to read it right now. But the rapidly approaching deadline for the report (August 29, a Saturday, oddly) isn't stopping them or various media reform advocates from advising the FCC right up to the last minute on what they want the agency to say, or not say, in the document. Interestingly, the Transformers movies have blundered into the FCC's requisite Notice of Inquiry asking for public input on the report. And the concerns various advocates raise about the marketing of these films suggest how subjective it could be to expand V-chip-like regulation, as many filers want (we've got a quick tutorial on the chip here).

In 1968, "Planet of The Apes," was a G movie, and in 1976 "The Bad News Bears" was PG -- alleged family fare with enough beer consumption and racial tension to make Paul Haggis blush. Over the years, parents got pickier; mild profanity got elided from the "G," and the gap between "PG" and "R" got too broad. After "Gremlins" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" came out in 1984, scaring the holy crap out of kids and angering their folks, "PG-13" came along. And then parents never complained about ratings ever again, because they finally had enough information to make good judgments about what was appropriate for their children. Nah, just kidding.

The game is officially out and below is the detailed scoop about the fun and vibrance that the game has to offer compared to it's predecessor. Credits to Scorpio for the link. Superhero Hype (SHH)!: How many new maps will this downloadable "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" content include? How did you decide on these levels and what makes them unique? Ray Cobo (RC): The DLC pack will include three new multiplayer maps. The Courtyard is a Fast paced East Coast map that focuses on a heavily contested center action point. This key strategic area allows for views of the entire map as well as control of the high ground surrounding the middle courtyard and its perimeter. Flying characters are able to utilize the open skies and tall skyscrapers to quickly get to advantageous positions, but ground based characters can make use of numerous back alleys to flank around the sides of the map and attack from unprotected angles. Another new map is called Hillside. It's a tiered map in a dense urban area of Cairo. There are varied height sections on the map that make for multiple small arenas of combat, while allowing sneaky players to move throughout the level virtually un-noticed under the cover of surrounding buildings. A central marketplace provides a high point to get views of almost the entire level, but the maze-like street layout and numerous buildings mean that you will have to hunt your enemies down in the alleys. Lastly, we have Sandstorm. It's a very fast paced map that takes place in a smaller section of Cairo. It's mostly populated with low level buildings and an open central area, so combat on this map will be fast and frenetic, as there is almost no place to hide. Flying characters can hover above the buildings for clear views of almost the entire map, but this will also leave them wide-open to ground fire from almost any angle. SHH!: How many new characters will appear in this DLC? How did you decide which characters would debut in the DLC? What specific skills or powers do they add to the game? RC: The pack contains eight brand-new playable characters and three new character skins, most of which are usable in both the single-player campaign and multiplayer. Many of us at Luxoflux are huge fans of the original Transformers series, so we wanted to share that passion with the fans. SHH!: Will there be new storylines introduced in single player DLC campaigns? RC: We don't have any new storylines for the single-player campaign, but we have made it possible to play many of the single-player missions with the new characters. XXXX SHH!: What other features does the DLC contain? What types of Achievements? RC: It's never enough for you guys, is it?

Total boxoffice in July and August dropped 7.8% year-on-year, from HK$281 million (US$36.26 million) in 2008 to HK$259 million in 2009, according to the tally from the Hong Kong Motion Picture Industry Association. However, this is in part because the highest-grossing summer film opened in June. It was win, place and show to Hollywood films in Hong Kong this summer. Topping the charts is Paramount's "Transformers" sequel, still showing but only on one Imax screen, which took HK$48 million since its opening on June 24. The June debut of that film can explain the missing HK$22 million from the combined gross during the summer months, as it took more than half of its total during its first week (HK$27 million from June 24-30). Boy wizard Harry Potter lagged slightly behind the robots in the month-long race, as the sixth installment of the Warner Bros. saga, "Half-Blood Prince," finds the summer boxoffice crown barely out of his reach with HK$45.5 million since July 15. In 3-D, Pixar's "Up" overtook early summer animated winner "Ice Age: Rise of the Dinosaur," with "Up" taking HK$32.6 million and "Ice Age 3" HK$32.5 million, but the latter was released almost a month earlier than the former. The highest-grossing, Hong Kong-produced film this summer belonged to thriller "Overheard," written and directed by "Infernal Affairs" scribe team Alan Mak and Felix Chong, and the debut of Distribution Workshop, which led the pack with HK$15.3 million gross. It placed fifth on the summer top 10 but took less than half of the fourth-place finisher, "Ice Age 3." "Overheard" is closely followed by "Turning Point," the Shaw Brothers comeback made with subsidiary TVB, which opened two weeks after "Overheard" and has grossed HK$14.7 million so far during a two and a half week run. The numbers seem heartening for local productions. Eleven Hong Kong films or Hong Kong-China co-productions were released during July and August 2009, more than double those of 2008, when only five were shown. The total gross of Hong Kong films this summer adds up to HK$62.4 million, an encouraging 81% increase from last year's HK$34.5 million. Four local pics made the top 10 this summer: "Overheard," "Turning Point," Edko's Aaron Kwok thriller "Murderer" (HK$11.7 million) and period comedy "On His Majesty's Secret Service" (HK8.8 million) -- while only two made the cut last summer. But the HK$15.3 million take of "Overheard," pales in comparison to last year's local winner, John Woo's epic co-production hit "Red Cliff," which raked in HK$24.3 million. "The performance of the local films are more evenly balanced this summer," said MPIA CEO Brian Chung. "There isn't a particular mega-budget blockbuster contender as 'Red Cliff' was last year, so a higher number of moderate-budget although solid Hong Kong films could compete in the same slot."

All are part of the new N.E.S.T. Global Alliance line for the 2009 movie. Dirge's bio: Dirge thought the heart of enemy territory - N.E.S.T. Headquarters - was the perfect place from which to launch a secret campaign of terror. A single slip-up revealed his presence, and brought his plans crumbling down. Now he's running scared with Bumblebee and Armorhide on his tail. He's to firghtened to land, but so terrified of running out of fuel that he finds himself breathing a sigh of relief every time he touches down. Tuner Mudflap's bio: There was a time when Mudflap would have been intimidated by a warrior as accomplished as Sideswipe. But now, with the final battles of the war in his past, and a hot new engine and paint job, he's ready to give the Autobot sword-master a run for his money. Mudflap can't outfight Sideswipe, but there's no doubt in his mind he can out-drive the older Autobot. Armorhide's bio: Things have been slow lately, so the discovery of a Decepticon hiding right under his nose was like a dream come true for Armorhide. He's enjoying working alongside Bumblebee, since his damaged vocal processor means the other Autobot can't complain about his methods. Armorhide doesn't care about stealth or safety.

Looking a bit like Optimus Prime, the lead character of the Transformers films, the robot is even prepared to battle, especially when it takes exception to sharing the stage with a smaller robot. The three-foot high creation took part in the Robo-One competition, which aims to drive the creation of humanoid-shaped robots. OmniZero.9, as the name suggests, is the ninth creation by Japanese roboticist Takeshi Maeda. When the robot is ready for a drive, it gets onto its knees and its shoulders adapt into motorised wheels, making it a useful soldier when the Transformers need a hand. Its head also flips back to give any rider a comfortable seat. The robot was filmed at the Robo-One competition, held each year in Japan, where robots can race, dance, and fight in a bid for dominance. The competition is primarily aimed to advance the development of humanoid-shaped robots, and each year the robots get a bit more advanced. OmniZero.9, at 3.4 feet tall and 55lb, certainly proves a dexterous creation, with the videos below showing just how smoothly and well-balanced its movements are. Previous versions of OmniZero could climb a ladder, skip rope, and break eggs. At the moment the robot, except for some automatic sensors adjusting movements for balance, is said to be remote-controlled, so this is currently little more than what we used to see on TV's Robot Wars. But as the Rise of the Machines continues, it will be interesting to see what future iterations can bring. {youtube}uqnxt9vGAmE{/youtube} Source: Dailymail - [Is Bay The Demise of Cinema?](https://transmy.com/bulletin/is_bay_the_demise_of_cinema_.htm) - Michael Bay's influence on films is undeniable, but in most cases his influence has inspired others toward comedy. "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone delivered Team America: World Police, which was just as much a visual slam on Jerry Bruckheimer films as it was Bay, and they did it again in an episode of "South Park". "Robot Chicken" took their own spin on Bay with "Baysplosions" seen to the right and Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg used the director's flashy editing and often used action choreography to bring us Hot Fuzz. Everyone gets the joke, and it's funny, but what has it done for his public image and people's opinions/expectations of his films? I ask this based on a comment left on my posting of the teaser trailer for the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake where someone wrote, "Michael Bay will be the death of cinema." Bay's production company, Platinum Dunes, is behind the film and it is their fifth remake of a classic horror film (sixth if you count the Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel), but none of them were directed by Bay. He's simply listed as producer and who knows how much he's actually involved in the production if at all. Yet even the mention of his name conjures up a negative reaction. Considering this all comes on the heels of his last two Transformers films earning $1,541,666,202 worldwide with only 2005's The Island serving as his lone domestic flop, but even that one managed to make $127 million in foreign markets. So how can his name drum up so much ire and is he the death of cinema? Does the fact Bay seems to realize he's a maniac for explosives grant him any clemency, such as when he made the above Verizon commercial that swept the Internet following the release of Transformers? How about the New Commonwealth Bank commercial he made or the fact he directed the "got milk?" commercial to the right - [Signed Blu-Ray & DVD By Bay](https://transmy.com/bulletin/signed_blu_ray_dvd_by_bay.htm) - Purchase an autographed copy of the film with proceeds going to the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

According to his post, Orci and Kurtzman will not be returning for the third installment of the Transformers movie franchise. Mr. Orci has hinted in the past that the two writers would not be returning for the film, but this seems to be a definitive answer about them and the third film. Here's what he had to report: Recently on the Don Murphy Message Board, Roberto Orci, one half of the dynamic duo that brought us the stories for the first two Transformers movies, confirmed that he and his partner, Alex Kurtzman, will not be scripting Transformers 3. Ehren Kruger, brought on to help out with "Revenge of the Fallen", however, will remain to write the script. When asked about Kruger's ability to write the story, Orci showed nothing but support, citing that "he really [does] his homework." Orci implied that he and Kurtzman are hard at work on penning a sequel to their excellent re-imagining of the Star Trek movie franchise. Elsewhere on the boards, Orci also displays what might possibly be embarrassment concerning Michael Bay's adaptation and what some might call "perversion" of Orci and Kurtzman's original TF2 script.

Crew members have nothing but bad things to say about her and Bay has been disappointed with her comments, but has recently stated that he will bring her back for the third installment. Now that work is getting under way to meet the July 1st, 2011 release date, Bay and writer Ehren Kruger have apparently decided to cut their ties with the actress. An insider told Insider magazine that Bay is considering writing Fox out of the series in a gory death scene that will take place during the first few minutes of the new movie. He will then replace her with another gorgeous young actress to provide the eye candy. "Michael's pretty much discovered Megan and now he's very quietly looking for her replacement," said the insider. "He hasn't decided if he's going to kill her off in the next movie, but he just wants to be prepared." Source: Worst Previews - [Why All The Megan Fox Hate?](https://transmy.com/bulletin/why_all_the_megan_fox_hate_.htm) - It's barely three months since "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" crapped itself onto movie screens all over America, and already people want to declare the end of the Megan Fox fad. They talk about how she wasn't funny on Saturday Night Live. They talk about disappointing box office numbers for Jennifer's Body." They talk about how she doesn't say very smart things when she talks. Most of all, they talk about how it's getting exhausting to hear about her every day. Google "Megan Fox afraid of the dark" and you get more than 59,000 results. Do the same with "Megan Fox doesn't like paper" and you get 394,000,000. 394 MILLION! And these aren't random quotes from extended interviews, either. The headlines actually read "Megan Fox is Afraid of the Dark" and "Megan Fox Hates the Touch of Paper." It's easy to see how this might get a little annoying, but here's the thing: It isn't Megan Fox's fault. Reporters are going to approach her. If she were to blow them off, she'd be crucified for it. So she talks to them. She tells them inane, meaningless details that no one should care about, much less report. Somehow, these things still get reported, and the next day everyone's walking around wondering why Megan Fox can't stay off the news. She can't stay off the news because the media insists on putting her there. It's not hard to see why - she might be the single hottest woman on this planet, and if there's one thing society's obsessed with, it's physical beauty. The flip-side of that coin, however, is that we envy the beautiful as much as we idolize them. We don't want them to be as perfect as they seem. That's why no one complains about Megan Fox's pictures, even though everyone's quick to point out how stupid/arrogant/immature she sounds in her interviews. It's a way to bring her back down to an acceptable level. The sad thing about it is that Megan Fox doesn't say any more stupid things than the average person. In fact, most of what she says either a) makes sense or b) is sarcasm that cannot be adequately captured in print. Running through some of her quotes, what has she said that's actually so dumb? She said that Transformers wasn't a movie about acting. Damn right. She said that being a sex symbol can be powerful if it's harnessed correctly. Again, right. She said that she's psychotic, bordering on insane, and that if she could tap into it she'd probably give an amazing performance. That's part sarcasm, part probably right. Of course, when everything that she says gets reported, some less-than-stellar moments are going to come out. Her whole bit on bisexuality is confusing at best, and her weird call-out of Scarlett Johansson was petty and immature. That doesn't mean that she's chronically stupid, just that some things she says don't make a whole lot of sense. That's true of everybody, except that most people don't have all their ramblings broadcast to the rest of the world. Whether or not the criticism is justified, the fact remains that it's out there, and so the pressing issue for Megan Fox now has to be changing minds. This means evolving from mere eye candy to being an actual actress, and showing her critics that she's more than a body and face. Though it might be true that she doesn't have the talent to pull it off, she at least deserves a chance to try, because what evidence is there so far either way? You can't judge her acting based on "Transformers," because her only responsibility in that role was to look hot. The same goes for 'Jennifer's Body.' She hasn't done any movies that have required her to act, so how can anyone say she can't do it? Case in point: Did anyone imagine that Marlon Wayans could act before "Requiem For A Dream? " Did anyone take Jake Gyllenhaal that seriously before "Brokeback Mountain?" Who was Jamie Foxx before Ray? What Megan Fox really needs to do is make better choices about the movies she stars in. Transformers was a good choice. "Transformers 2," not so much, but let's consider that an honest mistake since no one could have imagined it would be as bad as it was. "Jennifer's Body" was totally inexcusable, and that's the kind of decision that Megan Fox needs to stop making immediately. Actors who give good performances in good movies can be as weird as they want, say whatever they want, and damn near do whatever they want. Russell Crowe attacked someone with a telephone - that story went away pretty fast. Christian Bale lost his mind on the set of "Terminator Salvation" - no one makes much of that anymore. Jude Law constantly acts like a selfish, immature man-whore, but he doesn't get even half the hate that Megan Fox does. That's because he is a good actor, and he stars in good movies. If Megan Fox can do the same thing, the current criticism will stop. If she can't, the cries will get louder. Either way, she deserves the chance to prove herself in an actual role before being dismissed. Until then, all the hate is just a petty, knee-jerk reaction based on nothing but envy and low self-esteem.

"I've been afraid of the dark my whole life," explained Fox. The "Transformers" hottie reportedly leaves on all of the lights in her house when she's not there. "If I go into my house at night and the lights have been turned off... I have to run from the door to the light switch to turn it on... I'm just afraid of what I can't see."

Hasbro's current big screen blockbuster "Transformers" is a fitting metaphor for the company that has transformed itself from a toy company to a $4 billion leader in family entertainment. Goldner took audience members on a time travel trip from Hasbro's first branded entertainment, a televised Mr. Potatohead commercial in 1952, to its acquisition of Milton Bradley in the 1980s to become a billion-dollar company and then reinventing its brands in the 1990s and today. "Brands don't get tired. People get tired," Goldner said of Habro's need to constantly reinvent itself as a global brand. The toy and game company is launching the "Littlest Pet Shop" online in the form of an interactive website, Goldner announced Tuesday morning at the keynote. The site will launch in the U.S. this week, then roll out to international territories in the coming months. Hasbro also plans to launch a new Nerf game this month. "Our goal is to inspire the human need for play [...] over and over again," Goldner said. He added: "It's a consumer-on-demand society." Hasbro isn't taking on the industry alone -- the toy giant has partnered with Discovery Communications for a joint venture and with Electronic Arts, giving the publisher exclusive world rights to cross-platform digital games including mobile, Internet, PC and consoles, based upon Hasbro's properties. Hasbro currently boasts six of the top 10 iphone games apps and four of the top 20 games on the Pogo online gaming space. Hasbro's flagship brands, which also include Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Playskool and My Little Pony, are worldwide hits across all platforms and have changed the way consumers structure their leisure time. Goldner pointed out that half of children's leisure time is spent on entertainment. Hasbro has chosen to fill this leisure time with its own brand of cross-platform entertainment and has transformed itself into a branded play company" because it's what the consumer wants," Goldner said. The company's subsidiary Hasbro Studios is also aggressively taking on the big screen with several films based on Hasbro properties in various stages of development. The "Transformers" feature film grossed $700 million worldwide in 2007, and this summer's releases "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" and "G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra" were also huge boxoffice successes. "You have to have great stories and great characters first and foremost. What you do with them is up to you," Goldner said of the move from toy to theater. Hasbro Studios will focus on online, TV, digital and film and will develop programs based on Hasbro brands in addition to original content. "We are open for business," Goldner said.

Sonar is a black repaint of Depthcharge, while Brakedown is a brand new mold. Cyber Pursuit Fast Action Battler Arcee is a simplified version of the franchise's most popular female, and you can check out a detailed gallery of her, here. Here are some pics of the packagings below. If there's one thing Sonar loves, it's leaving the Autobots all wet. There are so few of them able to pursue him into the deep ocean that he spends his time taunting them from just off shore. He can't help but laugh at the latest victim Wideload, who idles, frustrated and dripping wet, just out of cannon range. Decepticon scout Brakedown avoids contact with the enemy at all costs. His job is to observe and report, not fight. That's why he's geared for speed, not battle. Unfortunately for him, Mudflap has other ideas, and now he finds himself racing for his life away from the determind Autobot Warrior. When Arcee fights, she fights to win. that's why she always makes sure her weapons are fully charged, her engine is tuned to perfection. When a Decepticon sees Arcee in his review mirror, he knows there's no escape. - [See How ROTF Bots Were Designed](https://transmy.com/bulletin/see_how_rotf_bots_were_designed.htm) - If there - [Taiwanese Transformers Army](https://transmy.com/bulletin/taiwanese_transformers_army.htm) - Even the Taiwanese Ministry of Defence loved robots, so don't mess with the Taiwan army because they got a powerful ally and that is the mighty f-ing Transformers!

He's become the cinematic whipping boy of bad, over the top, explosion-filled movies, which are of course also his forte. But he could rectify most of that in one fell swoop, and it's by doing something that he's already considering: killing off Megan Fox. Okay, to be fair, we mean killing off her annoying character Mikaela in Transformers. It might not make us forgive everything, but it's huge step in the right direction. There's no love lost between Bay and Fox. She called him "Hitler" and said you had to be a genius to understand Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (was she watching an unseen Criterion cut of the film?). He had his own words to say, and had several cast members rally to his defense in a letter-writing flurry that detailed how bitchy and hard to work with Ms. Fox was. Things have escalated to a level where he's reportedly considering killing her off in the next Transformers film. At this point we're surprised he'd be bringing her back at all, because a simple "Ever since Mikaela left for that mechanics study course in Germany" line and she's out of the film. But the fact that he's considering killing her off is deliciously evil, because it means he wants to bring her back just to kill her off onscreen. Not since Paris Hilton got waxed in the House of Wax remake have people been anticipating the demise of a celebutart. We're ready to get Halloween rolling by including Michael Bay among our best villains and suggesting some creative ways he might take care of the problem. Read on after the break and find out how Megan Fox might bite it in Transformers 3. She's a Robot The most obvious way for Bay to kill Fox was mapped out for us in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me: make Mikaela a femmebot. Remember that thanks to Revenge of the Fallen, the Transformers can look just like humans now. In fact, they can look so human that they can get Sam's hormones pumping ... something Mikaela seems to excel at. Couple this with the fact that she's extremely good with machines, has a flimsy background (no mom, dad in jail, etc), and signs point to oil in her veins. In Transformers 3 it's found out that she's a Deceptibot, and is either called on the carpet for failing so many times that they terminate her, or she dies in Sam's arms in the middle of a ginormo robo-battle, just after confessing what she is. A single, oily tear slides down her cheek as Shia screams "NO NO NO NO NO!" Megatron Gets Even Sam and Bumblebee race off with Ron and Judy in the backseat on a wedding planning trip. Yes, that's right, Sam and Mikaela are engaged now, and she's wearing a ring made out of some piece of the Allspark that somehow still exists. However, the romantic comedy hijinks between both couples come to a halt when Decepticons attack and take Sam's woman. He easily abandoned her for college in Revenge, but apparently he still moans for her pheromones and goes after her. Even though he's warned it might be a trap set by Megatron, who is now Megapissed. Sam calls in the troops, since Optimus owes him a favor or two, and when the ensuing battles busts out, Mikaela dies in the crossfire to provide an emotional arc. But as the end credits roll, the ring sparkles on her finger. Oh, crap. Roadkill Let's face it, the Transformers are bigass, giant chrome robots. They aren't dainty gadgets you'd see on a shelf at a Japanese fanboy shop in Tokyo. These things breathe death. They're huge killing machines when they're in robo-mode, and when they're transformed they still look like deathmobiles. Either way you slice it (and I'm deliberately ignoring the moron twins from Revenge here), they just exist to splatter anything made out of meat. In a variation on Megatron Gets Even, Mikaela is captured ... but instead of holding her hostage, Megatron decides to pull a Hitcher on her. He sticks her inside a vehicle, and tells Sam he has to give up the [insert plot point secret] or she dies. Sam hems and haws and finally confesses, but Megatron has other plans. The vehicle she's in slowly transforms with Fox still inside, and Sam is treat to a front-row seat gorefest. That's a Wrap on Megan Fox The best way to deal with this problem? Just take care of it offscreen. Sure, you won't make the scads of Foxfans very happy, but you'll take care of your problem and save a bundle in the process. Unless she has some sort of guaranteed screen time in her contract, with a quota of at least 12 moist lip-parting, teeth-baring, open mouth shots. Barring that, Bay should just write her out. We don't even need to justify it with screen time. Sam's in mourning, since Mikaela died between Revenge and the next movie. Maybe he's joined a monastery, started living with the Autobots, or become the mainstay at sorority parties, depending on how he's dealing with it, but the main thing is that she died, tragically, before the movie opens. Thus saving both the crew, and the audience, the pain. Mojo Goes Cujo Mojo had settled into his life of being Sam's bitch just before Mikaela came along, and he's never been happy about it. Not only did she usurp his position, but she also took Sam out of the house, leaving him stranded with the wacky adventures of the Ron and Judy Show. He's also going through the throes of canine painkiller addiction, and this does not make him a pleasant puppy. When he digs up one of his bones from the yard, he doesn't notice strange symbols on it while he gnaws away his troubles, and accidentally ingests some sort of crazy alien plot point. It turns him into a rabid, miniature, transforming version of Cujo who has one thing on the brain: death to pouty-lipped, doey-eyed, owner-stealing women. It's a short list, and Mojo finally gets his.

That's according to Monopoly City Streets -- a joint venture between Hasbro (NYSE: HAS) and Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) to create the largest online multiplayer version of the classic board game. The game is played out on a Google-supplied map of the real world. This massively multiplayer Monopoly is the result of one of Hasbro's top strategies: expanding its strong brands beyond just toys and games to create an immersive consumer experience across all touch points. That strategy could make Hasbro an incredibly profitable company. The Monopoly brand already extends beyond the classic board game, including slot machines and the popular McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) contest. Hasbro has even partnered with Universal Studios to make a feature film based on the board game, directed by Ridley Scott and slated for release in 2010. (We have our fingers crossed for Russell Crowe as Rich Uncle Pennybags.) More than meets the eye Will a Monopoly movie really reinvent the classic board game? It certainly worked for fellow Hasbro brand Transformers, a 25-year-old line of boys' toys that was revived into a blockbuster. This summer's critic-proof sequel, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, became one of the top 10 highest-domestic-grossing films of all time, raking in more than $400 million in the United States. And with more than $800 million in worldwide receipts, the film helped steadily raise Hasbro's stock to near its 52-week high. While licensing brands such as Transformers represents only 3% of Hasbro's annual revenue, such efforts do help distinguish Hasbro from the leading toy manufacturer by sales, Mattel (NYSE: MAT), whose brands have not received the same exposure in Tinseltown. Big-screen fame fuels Hasbro's primary profit engine -- selling new toys and accessories related to the reimagined brand. The momentum also creates opportunities for Hasbro to further license the brand to apparel, publishing, foods, theme parks, and conventions. The exposure continues to build brand awareness, which drives more toys and more licensing, and the cycle continues until the world becomes immersed in robots in disguise. Sound familiar? It's not unlike what Stock Advisor favorite Marvel Entertainment (NYSE: MVL) has done in boosting its superhero brands through blockbuster movies, and capitalizing on the success with extensive merchandising. Marvel is up 1,000% since the release of Spider-Man in May 2002. Of course, Marvel is now also directly funding the production of its movies, too. Hasbro is just getting started Hasbro's strategy of immersing the world in its core brands through entertainment licensing provides more than just financial gains; it may be the key to its expansion into new offerings. Hasbro is accepting the harsh reality that children are moving away from traditional toys and games at a younger age. As a result, the traditional toy manufacturer must compete where its audience is, which today includes online and video gaming. Hasbro has adjusted to the changing industry by building partnerships with Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS), Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq: ATVI), Glu Mobile, and Google. These digital companies can help strong properties like Transformers or Monopoly make the leap from plastic or cardboard to bits and bytes. If the market dictates that the future of Monopoly must be online, Hasbro will be ready. And isn't having the flexibility to find success -- wherever your audience may play next -- the big-business equivalent of passing GO and collecting $200? Source: Fool.com - [Interview With Jeff Mangiat](https://transmy.com/bulletin/interview_with_jeff_mangiat_.htm) - You may have seen the Ebay auction for the original Transformers Box Art by world renowned illustrator Jeff Mangiat. TFormers was fortunate enough to get a little time with Mr. Mangiat to do an exclusive interview asking some questions about his work on the Transformers past and present as well some of the intimate details of how these Transformers paintings and box art came about. TFormers: Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got into doing illustration for a living. Jeff Mangiat: I would first like to thank the webmasters, community members and bloggers for the very kind words written about my painting. I was recently going through my flat files and found the painting I put up for auction. I forgot how nice the moon painting was. A few months ago my son discovered the world of transformers on the web and it was very exciting to see that they are so beloved. I made some contacts and here we are. I have been very fortunate in that I always knew I wanted to be an artist. When I was in the 2nd grade my father found that Pratt Institute was the best art school for me. I started working for Hearst publications in my junior year doing automotive renderings. That taught me how to do mechanical drawings and do them fast. I soon found myself working for magazines such as Popular Mechanics and Popular Science. TFormers: How did you get involved with doing art for the Transformers packaging? Jeff: My next step was to join Mendola ltd.; the premier artist representatives founded by Joe Mendola, a pioneer in the field of Illustration. Early on I did covers for Newsweek magazine (many done overnight). One of my favorites was a painting of a robot with a monitor for a head and torso. On the torso screen was the superman logo. Supercomputer! My work quickly expanded to other fields, toys being one of them. I started working for Hasbro doing game boards. With my automotive background, the transformers were a natural fit, and the rest is history. TFormers: Are you a fan of the Transformers series new or old? What do you think of the new movie from Paramount and Dreamworks? Jeff: I love all the Transformers. Each era has it - [Surgeon: Fox Not Natural Beauty](https://transmy.com/bulletin/surgeon_fox_not_natural_beauty.htm) - Hollywood starlet Megan Fox is no stranger to garnering public attention, with the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen actress making daily headlines for her outlandish comments and seemingly flawless exterior. However fans of the 23-year-old have taken to the internet recently, with the very specific agenda of studying Fox' face and breasts. Obsessed with her beauty? Not quite. Intrigued by how she obtained it? Spot on! According to reports yesterday, critics of Fox are urging interviewers to quiz the actress on her surgeries in her next interview, "instead of asking her to push her faux bi-sexuality on us again." Ouch. According to polls, fans and critics of Fox have voted their public opinion that the brunette has almost certainly gone under the knife to acquire her now famous appearance. While the vast majority of her fans claim not to be opposed to cosmetic enhancement, they do claim to be put-off by Megan's inability to admit to her procedures.

The deluxe-class figures has been sighted at an independent toy store in Malaysia (anyone knows is welcome to inform us). As we know the mainstream variant features Skids and Mudflap both joined in their alternate mode. However, this variant features the figures in robot mode instead of the ice cream truck halves seen in release thus far. There is no confirmation if this is just a regional variant (asian?) or if future assortment revisions will feature this change in packaging. Still, it is a worthy hunt for every fans as Ice-Cream truck is getting scarce now. Check out the new variant below.

The first repaint will be of Ransack in Red Baron style called Divebomb, which will be repainted into a predominantly red figure with some white here and there.

This was then followed by the tweet/twit... "something like giant arachnida and dinosaur......". Now, some of you may remember that towards the end of last year with the help from "Transformers @ The Moon", we brought you a news that Hasbro had submitted a Trademark Application to the USPTO for the name Airachnid.

Don't get too anxious for this set as the retail price is 21,000 JPY / $223 USD plus robot points from other Transformers products.

KUAM News has learned that as part of the Operational Readiness Exercise last week at Andersen Air Force Base, a planned phishing scam meant to bait airmen into releasing their contact data was launched, 'neath the guise that the latest sequel to the "Transformers" movie series would be shot at the Yigo installation. The scam stated that film director/producer Michael Bay would be shooting part of the movie at AAFB, and as such, 20 airmen were being solicited as extras. Reportedly, several such enlisted personnel responded, one even in the open on ComicBookMovie.com. It's since generated quite a bit of local buzz, prompting the military to put down the untrue story. In an e-mail received by KUAM, AAFB officials have announced that Transformers 3 will NOT be partially produced on Guam or at Andersen AFB. KUAM is waiting for comment from Andersen Air Force Base for comment.

Those sentiments are not stopping Paramount and Michael Bay to seek at least one more actor with a comedic background to fill out a role in the upcoming sequel alongside already cast Ken Jeong. Funnyman and former Jennifer Love Hewitt flame Jamie Kennedy took to the airwaves in Arizona recently and claimed he may be up for a role in Transformers 3 per a report at TFW2005. "I had an interesting interview with the people behind the new Transformers movie," stated Kennedy. "And I may have a role in the movie." If you recall, and I won't blame anyone who doesn't, The Office comedy actor Rainn Wilson had a bit part in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen playing a university professor. Kennedy could be up for a similar blink-and-you'll-miss-him role. For now treat this scoop as a rumor until something more substantial comes about. On the bright side, Transformers 3 news should start to flow more regularly with shooting scheduled to begin next month.

We're guessing they thought Fox didn't need any aesthetic upgrades. The second installment of the Transformers series made enough money to encourage another bout of robotic action porn and they've used the extra change to give Bumblebee the works according to these spy photos from Megan-Fox.net. Changes include the aforementioned rear spoiler, smoke-colored wheels, redesigned front splitter and fog lights, carbon fiber roof splitter, repositioned stripes, and mirrors inspired by the Stringray concept (Sideswipe). The only part we're not super on board with is the shark fin antenna. Does Bumblebee really need to get satellite radio?

Said Fox in an interview in Hollywood, "I don't like the way that the movie ticket sales are going for this one. We should be selling more tickets and bringing in more money. If it will boost our box office for the next movie, I'm willing to do whatever it takes." "Whatever it takes" was then defined by Fox as removing her clothes. "I'm sure that seeing my hot, sweaty, glistening body would make those giant robot thingies just stop in their tracks and stare. I mean, that works for most men I meet anyway. They all see to like checking me out, and I'm kind of a tease or flirt about it too." Fox, who has already gone topless in "Jennifer's Body," added that she does have the hots for someone on their set. "Just the thought of Optimus Prime and that piston pumping power of his makes me wet!" In conclusion, Fox added that "this nudity would have to be something that moves the story forward, of course. I wouldn't do it just to show off my titties or collect the extra two million in payment that the studio has offered me. It will have to be tasteful." The announcement that Fox was willing to do full frontal nudity caused a movie that has not even started filming become the biggest selling DVD pre-order in history.

The game will start before the G1 arc of Transformers began, which is widely considered to be when Transformers was at it's best. It will begin in a form that we have not really seen before; Optimus Prime is just a regular Autobot soldier, Starscream isn't a Decepticon, and Megatron is just trying to restore Cybertron to what he considers its 'Golden Age'. The most interesting teaser from the trailer is that we will finally have an explanation as to why Megatron keeps Starscream as his right hand man, instead of disposing of him after the many failed takeover attempts, similar to what was seen in G1.

The actor said that with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen director Michael Bay "went so big that it became too big, and I think you lost the anchor of the movie." He stressed that the human relationships must take precedence over simply seeing robots fighting robots. The actor promised a bloodier, more tragic Transformers 3.

The Transformers star, 24, says she suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which puts her in an uncomfortable position in public bathrooms and restaurants. "This is a sickness, I have an illness," she tells Allure" in its June issue. "Every time someone uses a bathroom and they flush, all the bacteria is shot into the air." And forget using restaurant silverware: "Putting my mouth where a million other mouths have been, just knowing all the bacteria that you carry in your mouth? Ucch!" Not that Fox has anything against dirty words, given that she dropped the F-bomb two dozen times during her interview with the magazine (only six of which made print) as she shed light on such varied topics as past interviews to her cooking - [Arterton Faces Off Bar Refaeli For TF3](https://transmy.com/bulletin/arterton_faces_off_bar_refaeli_for_tf3.htm) - Soon after Megan Fox confirms her departure from "Transformers" film franchise, names of stars who could replace her have been thrown. TheWrap reports that Gemma Arterton is currently in competition with models Bar Refaeli, Miranda Kerr and Brooklyn Decker to take the role of the new female lead in "Transformers 3". An individual close to the casting process says the "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" actress has already had discussions with Michael Bay about the coveted role. Refaeli and Kerr also have reportedly read for casting director, while Decker has the most substantial acting career of the three models. However, TheWrap claims Arterton is still the top choice for the movie helmer and Paramount Pictures. Another site Ain't It Cool News (AICN) also comes out with another list of possible new "Transformers 3" beauty. According to their source, Zoe Saldana ("Avatar"), Hayden Panettiere ("Heroes"), Camilla Belle ("10,000 B.C."), Ashley Greene ("Twilight") and Vanessa Hudgens ("High School Musical") are being considered to replace Megan Fox. The competition reportedly also involves some less notable stars such as Emmanuelle Chriqui ("Entourage"), Jessica Lowndes ("90210"), Amber Heard ("Zombieland"), Julianne Hough ("Footloose") as well as English model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Since Megan Fox quit "Transformers 3", Michael Bay, writer Ehren Kruger and Paramount Pictures reportedly plan to take the story "in another direction". The director is said to find Sam Witwicky's new love interest that "makes more sense for the story."

Takara gives Grimlock a shiny metallic paint work, and the color used are closer to Grimlock's Generation 1 counterpart. Tagged as TA-17, this Grimlock is really gorgeous in metallic compared to the overseas versions. The unit comes with a robust package. The bio stories of the package, the G1 is not it really reminiscent. It became the latest design almost perfectly biologically but the figure is rather slouching. The monster-like image has played well the G1 Dinobots tribute. Minute by pressing the button on the neck will activate mouth opening action. The shape of the eyes, gave you the feel of Grimlock's cruelty. It have good joints where the figure the standing is okay. But moving to a strict form of indirect crotch, it is a strict kneeling. If you move the impossible, or too likely to loose a bit of a waste and moving it into force. The stiffness of the joints have you think so much, as you know yourself that overseas versions are happier to get this? Magma sword is really good. Stipe shape, it can hold hands inserted into the hole part and shed light, where he seems to burn correctly. The figure have been brightly painted, I think you can feel that strength.

It's powered by a 3.3-liter, 230 horsepower Toyota Camry V-6; has a power-to-weight ratio somewhere between that of the Honda Civic and a Mini Cooper S; and carries the distinction of being the ugliest supercar ever built. Ever. And if you want the distinction of owning one, it'll cost you about $95,000 and the price of a plane ticket to Japan, or, for about $60, you could pick up a much smaller version that transforms into a robot. User kenji on the Transformers enthusiast forum HK-TF has posted preview photos of the upcoming Transformers: Alternity Skywarp by Takara Tomy, the Japanese owner of the popular Transformers line of toys and cartoons. If you've been living under a rock for the last 20 years, Transformers are giant robots that, well, transform into vehicles. However, rather than transforming into the jet that many of us remember from the 1980s cartoon series, this revision of the Skywarp character transforms from the oddball Mitsuoka Orochi into an evil robot. The action figure comes in two paint jobs: purple pearl for Skywarp and white pearl for his twin, Starscream. The Transformers: Alternity line also features reimaginations of Autobot leader Optimus Prime as a Nissan GT-R, Decepticon leader Megatron as a Nissan 370Z, and Autobot scouts Bumblebee and Cliffjumper as Suzuki Swifts. The Transformers: Alternity line is only available in Japan, but it shouldn't be too hard to find a willing importer or reseller online.

Without much more information on what the figures are, there's much to speculate about. The figures appear to be deluxe class figure. The designs are Cybertronian in nature with exotic stylings that don't echo any production cars we know of. Likewise, they do not appear to be homages to any Generation 1 character designs on first look. This figure is somewhat reminiscent of the Drift character with the rear spoilers giving us some good queues that this may be more pumped up version in toy form. Only time will tell. It is way too early to be making Transformers 3 toys so we're most likely looking at a new line or extension of an existing one. Could these be new Universe Action figures. Or toys for the new transformers link Hasbro hinted at recently. What do you think they are?

Thanks to HK-TF for the latest images of the FAB Night Blades Sideswipe, FAB Sand Attack Bumblebee and FAB Power Armor Optimus Prime. The new images show us two new Fast Action Battler figures that will be coming to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen line in and out of the packaging. The Fast Action Battler Power Armor Optimus Prime action figure is a total make of the Power Hook Optimus Prime from the 2007 movie. This figure has two swords that look more like hooks and a much better robot mode. The Fast Action Battler Night Blades Sideswipe Prime action figure is a repaint of the Battle Blades Sideswipe action figure that was done up in movie colors. Not sure what the reasoning is, but Night Blades looks much different here in gray with green windows? Only the back of the card is shown for Sand Attack Bumblebee. But he does appear to be a repaint of the Rally Rocket Fast Action Battlers mold with a similar "Launching Plasmabolt" weapon and what is a dusty or desert colors theme. Read from the back of his card: Around the world, the Autobots battle in secret to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons . Little do they know that an even deeper threat is about to arise. With the battle raging in the desert, Bumblebee knows he needs to be ready. He upgrades with the latest in deep desert weaponry, and prepares to charge into battle across the dunes. The Decepticons will never know what hit them when they get a taste of his sand blast! Awesome quick-change figure converts from robot mode to Camaro concept car in vehicle mode and back again!

Things are expected to initially kick off with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on a 4GB Kingston DataTraveller USB drive for US$29.99. While a Paramount/Kingston statemnt talks at length about the partnership, it gave no details on whether the movies will be available in standard or high definition, and what devices the movies will play on. It also fails to mention if movies will be locked down with digital rights management and, annoyingly, how much of the 4GB capacity will be eaten up by movies. A dual-layer DVD is holds around 8GB and high-definition Blu-ray is even more capacious at 50GB, so it's a fair assumption that movies will be of lesser quality. Assuming Paramount and Kingston do manage to deliver movies that aren't locked down with DRM, are in watchable formats and are playable in a range of devices, the partnership could be win-win for both parties. Not only will Paramount gain access to a new and potentially lucrative movie distribution channel with increasingly popular memory card-friendly portable devices. But Kingston will also gain the means to sway potential buyers away from other brands. Grabbing a movie on a USB stick could also come in pretty handy if for instance you happen for instance to be waiting for a flight. This said, there are only so many USB sticks, SD Cards and other memory media that the average consumer needs. For people not wanting to purchase every movie on memory media, downloads through services such as iTunes are still likely remain a more compelling option.

This fella has a quick hand, receiving Scout Scattorshot well before the mass release. He has taken pictures and reviewed the figure. Scattorshot is a brand new Scout mould, and will be released in the upcoming year. In alternate mode, Scattorshot has a shovel that can move up and down a bit due to transformation. The weapons on top of the cab can move up and down and rotate 360 degrees. While in robot mode, this figure has very good articulation with ball jointed head, ball jointed shoulders, hinged elbows, ball jointed forearms just under the elbows, fists can move inward/outward, waist rotation, ball jointed hips, ball jointed knees, and ankles can rotate forward/backward. Very poseable for a scout class. The guns can be popped off if you don't want them.

We are covering the event now and are posting updates as they are revealed. Learn about the new initiative "Hunt For The Decepticons" and more in our report below: Hasbro announced a new initiative for 2010 called "Hunt For The Decepticons." They have also revealed they will be releasing Takara's Micronaughts (Microman) action figures that will be support for a Movie and TV series. Read more at ToyNewsi.com The only show Hasbro announced for their new network is My Little Pony. So it is unclear what "Hunt For The Decepticons" will be. Hasbro did say Orci and Kurtzman would be working on something for the new network. Here's the excerpt from TNI; "During Hasbro's 2009 Fall Investor Day Event held today at their headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, they announced the re-introduction of the classic toy line Micronauts originally created by Japan company Takara in 1974 under the name Microman and later launched in the United States in 1976 and backed by a Marvel Comics comic book series in 1979. As many know, Takara is the same company that originally invented the Transformers line and continues to work with Hasbro today. No specifics were given by Hasbro's Brian Chapman (VP if Hasbro's Global Designs) about what we can expect from the Micronauts brand other than that we can expect Hasbro to revise, reinvent and re-ignite the brand so it is exciting for fans old and new alike. There also was some indication that a television series and/or major motion picture could be in the works for this brand."

The giant robot is arriving in Sydney to be part of a mini exhibition and the launch of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on DVD and Blu Ray. The one-of-a-kind statue, a replica of the Transformer Bumblebee, was made for the original movie by LA based special effects house FXperts. It stands 5 metres tall, weighs nearly three tones, is valued at around A$820,000 and took about six weeks to build. After doing a tour of the harbour by barge, the giant Bumblebee will be the centerpiece to The Art of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen exhibit, a free display that will be at Bondi Beach from Friday until Sunday and will also include behind the scenes photography, the original design work and storyboarding from the movie process. Bumblebee was seen floating around in the general vicinity of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bride in the gallery of photos you can check out by clicking on the photo above. And while we're not entirely sure why he was out there, the people of Sydney should certainly feel safe knowing that they're safe from the menace of giant robots... for now. I love these pictures. "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" was a hit movie this past summer. Those robots in disguise are real though. Real, and protecting this planet from intergalactic menaces like the Decepticons. You can see it for yourself in our new flipbook gallery, in which Bumblebee reveals himself to the people of Sydney, Australia. Good to know they're keeping us safe, right? The Transformer has already attended the premieres of the films in Los Angeles, Japan, the UK and the Cannes Film Festival. Now his world tour is stopping by Australia.

First reported here, we saw only the photoshop images. These images are not very big, but they do offer up our first look at what the production figures may look like. Shadow Command Megatron is looking good. This character's toy has been really hard to capture in the mold. While this repaint is not reminiscent of Megaton's movie roles, it seem to be one of the more impressive or least annoying movie Megatron figures yet. The Final Defense Optimus Prime seems to contrast the most from its initial photoshopped image. The gray instead of red front-end gives the truck a washed out look. Almost like an unpainted test shot or prototype. However, the new color scheme works better in the robot mode with red paint apps around the windows and blue plastic legs for an almost G1 look.

'Transformers 2'? Now, we know what you're thinking, but no, they didn't move April Fool's Day, you haven't slipped into an alternate reality and we are not punking you. As Variety is reporting, the Hollywood Post Alliance announced its fourth annual awards last night and among the winners was none other than 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'. While 'Transformers 2' was a wildly popular mainstream hit, grabbing over $400 million at the domestic box office to become the year's biggest earner, it didn't seem to be positioned as an award magnet. The HPA, however, rewards technical excellence in post production rather than content, explaining Industrial Light and Magic's win for their compositing work on 'Transformers 2'. That thudding techno-mess of a film wasn't the only critical failure to grab awards for technical precision last night; the much hyped disappointment 'Watchmen' also grabbed an award for audio post production. But proving that post production isn't just the realm of special effects juggernauts, 'Slumdog Millionaire' snuck in one more award win, this time for editing. 'Millionaire' won't be in competition for the Oscars this year since it was honored in last year's ceremony, but the other wins do give 'Transformers 2' and 'Watchmen' a leg up in the race for the Academy's technical categories. Other winners included 'Julie & Julia' for color grading, with 'Breaking Bad' taking home honor for television editing and 'Fringe' winning the award for television audio.

As one of the franchise's most prolific contributors (especially in comics), he knows a thing or two thousand about the robots in disguise (and their impossible-to-onomatopoeia-ize transformation sound). Siebertron has a new interview with Costa, full of insights aimed primarily at hardcore TF fans, but one part in particular caught our eye. When asked to settle the debate over the existence of gender in the TF-verse, Costa had this to say: "Gender definitely does exist. And where I stand on the fembot issue is this: A Cybertronian robot should have the right to marry anyone he or she desires, provided that they are consensual beings." It's a bit of a dodge on a huge nerd argument, but it also sidesteps into a statement about gay marriage, an issue far more relevant to our own society/species/nation. We wonder if same-sex robotic unions would be as controversial on Cybertron as they are in America? For that matter, have any Transformers gotten hitched, even in a "traditional" robot marriage?

In a recent interview with USA Today, however, director Michael Bay did not only dismiss the rumor but also promised a "great part" for the actress. "She's got a great part in 'Transformers 3'," the helmer said on Fox, who considered him as Hitler when he was doing his duty. Asked if he plan to kill her off in the third "Transformers" movie, Bay who is currently working on the script said, "No, no, no. She gets enough of that already." Beside Megan Fox, Shia LaBeouf is also set to return to "Transformers 3" as Sam Witwicky. Meanwhile, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman who have been involved in the writing of the first two "Transformers" movies, will not be returning to the script duties for next installment. Serving as the follow-up to "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", the forthcoming film will be produced by Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg.

There was no sign of Megan Fox when "Transformers" director Michael Bay hosted a reunion of the movie's crew and actors at M2 the other night. Tyrese Gibson held court at the center of the action and needed two security guards to keep all the women at a safe distance. A spy reports, "He caused such a commotion that two guards were called in to keep the girls away from him." Fox caused a stir earlier this year by comparing Bay to Adolf Hitler, prompting crew members to post a letter on Bay's Web site describing Fox as "the queen of talking trailer-trash and posing like a porn star."

The original of this interview was published in Generations 2009 Vol.3 and the translation was provided solely to help non-Japanese fans who are unable to read this insightful interview in the book they purchased. Q: We hear you presented some "Revenge (of the Fallen)" products to Hasbro around the time the cinemas finished showing the first movie. Hasui: We were informed that there would be sequels during the development of the first movie merchandise. Also, the fans' reaction to the first movie line gave us confidence that we were more than capable. At the presentation, we suggested the ideal future merchandise and discussed how we could expect a new wave of customers, and the products would likely be supported by wider range of age groups. Transformers as a character brand is changing now, and we put our ideas together as to how the toys should be and how they could be marketed. Q: What was the very early stage of the product development like? Hasui: We didn't know anything about the characters or when the movie was to be released. We tentatively started with the data from the first movie, and more or less guessed how the next ones would be like. Yuki: The robot designs in the first movie surprised us, but it wasn't very difficult to imagine the new designs since we had already been through (the first movie designs). Having said that, it was expected to be a while until we would receive information about the movie, so we started with a new gimmick to replace "Automorph". Q: Many designs are even more distinctive looking than the ones in the first movie. Yuki: They didn't surprise me that much. I just thought, "So, that's how you want it this time?" (*laugh) Hasui: I did think they would be a pain to make toys of. I also feared their robot mode might be seen as staying in a half-transformed state. I tried to emphasize their body frame as a life form even though some of them were not close to humans in shape. Yuki: With the first movie products, one of our regrets was that the characters could be indistinguishable. Apparently the creators of the movie felt the same way themselves, and this time the characters are quite varied with more car robots on both sides, the Constructicons and such. Q: What is the process of the toy development like with "Mech-Alive" mechanism involved? Hasui: Firstly, every member of the staff was to understand the concept of "Mech-Alive", after that it is up to each designer to work on his project. One designer generally is responsible of one product from the start to the completion. This time we also had to come up with the ("Mech-Alive") gimmick on top of the usual vehicle to robot transformation, which is already enough of a challenge. Each member struggles with his project on his own until it takes up the form of a product. Yuki: The final check (of a product) is conducted by the all staff members. We discuss each product to see if there are any flaws. The purpose of these discussions is to even out the quality level of the products, but we still can't eliminate our individual style. (*laugh) Hasui: Some products focus on "Mech-Alive" gimmicks while the others have the strength in their weapons. Each product has a different balance. Yuki: At the beginning of development, the designer adds as many gimmicks as he can think of, then less important ones get omitted one by one to reduce the cost. All products start off quite extravagant. As for the movie products, the character designs always come first, and it is important to think of the way to reflect those images to the toys. The result differs depending on the character and the staff member in charge. It is an interesting part of the job. Q: How did you come up with "Mech-Alive"? Hasui: At first, we suggested the gimmicks which would be relevant to the story, and next we tried to contrive something that could be unique to the movie merchandise like "Automorph" was to the first movie. Eventually we decided on "Mech-Alive". I came up with the concept while watching the first movie on DVD and noticed how one part of the robot moves in conjunction with the other. But the gimmick is hard to appeal visually by package photos and such, and finding a better way to show off is our future task. True to "More Than Meets The Eye" catch phrase, some aspects of Transformers products are always impossible to convey to the customers until they are actually handled. Yuki: I do hear comments such as, "I never fully appreciated it until I had it in my hand". I think that is the appeal of Transformers, but I can see how it can be a problem when it comes to marketing. (*laugh) It is often not easy to show the appeals of these products, and that is why I'm very appreciative of the on-screen images of the characters in action, because I know the toys will not fail to impress when actually handled (with those on-screen actions in mind). Also, many fans can read news from internet, hobby magazines and such as soon as it is out nowadays, but (Transformers products) can be very surprising, more so to those who collects early information. There is certain appeal to Transformers that you can't recognize until you actually play with them. Hasui: As a new recruit to the company (Takara), I couldn't figure out why so much time and effort were put into Transformers toys when the results weren't even apparent. (*laugh) But having observed how everyone at the development team was always eager to introduce new type of fun (to the products) and I gradually understood that strong sense of enjoyment was essential to Transformers. I now know without it Transformers would be mere form-shifting toys, and always remind myself never to disregard it. Q: Some gimmicks are similar to the first movie's "Automorph" mechanism, such as how Sideways' front wheels are stored inside. Yuki: I wanted to leave some sort of "Automorphing" as the movie toys have complicated transformations. I also thought casual fans would be impressed with the gimmick. Hasui: Our theme for this line is the expression of the characteristics by "Mech-Alive" and the weapons. For example, to emphasize Sideswipe's ability as a fast runner, his "Mech-Alive" gimmick was decided to go in his knees. "Mech-Alive" came first for some of the "Revenge" products, while for some others transformation structure was developed first. "Meager information, strict restriction" Q: How did you come up with the Transformers that are not in the movie? Hasui: We discussed and decided on those toy-only Transformers with Hasbro. Some of the scout class characters such as Ransack who have no appearance in the movie in fact had their roles considered at the early stage of developing a plot, and Depthcharge even had his character design drawn up. We were told Jolt wouldn't be in the movie initially and discontinued his toy development. Yuki: Then we saw his vehicle in a still image taken during the production, and hurriedly went back to working on him! Q: There are many unique characters in this movie, such as the Twins and Jetfire. Yuki: Generally it took quite a long time until details of the movie became available to us, but Hasbro also provided us with some information. For example, we knew "the Twins" would be just that as it was their code name since the beginning. I was considering the possibility of symmetrical combination, but was told they would combine not as a robot but as a vehicle, which was Ice Cream Truck. Hasui: In addition to the verbally relayed information from Hasbro, we were shown several concept sketches. One of them was of Sideswipe running on the wheels on his feet like an ice skater, and it helped us to visualize his actions in the movie. Wheelie was yelping with his foot caught in a rat trap in another drawing. (*laugh) We also heard at an early stage that Sideways was to be sliced in half by Sideswipe, but didn't know that he would remain in vehicle mode! I somehow assumed those two would have a history and expected to hear some dialogues about grudges held over years or about avenging family members... Yuki: He went out rather uneventfully. (*laugh) The Fallen was also different from our expectations. I thought he would be the one to emerge from the pyramid, but surprisingly he was somewhere completely different. Also, I never imagined him to be such an old fellow! All we knew about the Fallen was that his vehicle mode would not appear, and we weren't even clear about what sort of role he was meant to play. Hearing of the title "Revenge of the Fallen" did not help much because we couldn't guess who the Fallen had a grudge against and how he would show it. It was also due to our uncertainty as to how much of G1 influence would be there. Hasui: Some important factors of the original have been introduced this time, such as Matrix and Space Bridge. Yuki: The original Jetfire was also found dormant in the ice; I was impressed with the way they implied the movie Jetfire was not the same character as G1 Jetfire, but at the same time not completely a different one. Hasui: Starscream was acting like Starscream. He didn't become a traitor, though! Q: It must have been challenging to contrive the Optimus and Jetfire combination as their design style is different from previous series? Hasui: I remember the staff member in charge of those, Kunihiro (Takashi,) was just looking paralyzed. (*laugh) Yuki: When I saw Jetfire's design, I was surprised, too (*laugh) A illustration of his combined mode with Optimus was sent to us later, and the products were updated accordingly. Kunihiro said the most difficult part was to reserve the space for the electronics. He said, "I can manage the realization of the CGI design, but creating the physical space for the batteries or the speaker is not manageable." It would make our job easier if the batteries could transform to a smaller size! There are other restrictions, for example, the switch has to be placed on the front side because of "TRY ME!" packaging. Hasui: "TRY ME!" switch needs to be pressed easily with one finger, and for the sound to be heard clearly, the speaker cannot be on the back. Also, we can't include a transformation which involves twisting the parts which contain the wires inside as it might sever them. With such elimination, a transformation process for a leader class is more or less decided. Yuki: Speaking of Jetfire, I think he is rather unusual as SR-71 merchandise. There has never been one in such a large scale except for expensive model kits. Hasui: In old days, Transformers made such (unfamiliar) vehicles recognizable to many people. I expect something similar this time around. (*laugh) Because of the high cost of oil, economic cars are more popular than big automobiles these days, and I hope people can feel more excited about the cars through Transformers. Yuki: It would be fun if Camaro sold more thanks to Bumblebee! "The Birth of a New Product Content" Q: Tell us about how you came to create Human Alliance series. Hasui: We went through a great deal of pain for the series. Hasbro initially requested a set consisting of "a vehicle and its driver", and when I asked if anyone wanted to take this project on among the members of the staff, no one volunteered. (*laugh) Yuki: Well, we were all busy with the tasks we had already been working on! Hasui: So I had no choice but to present it myself and I built a sample with Ratchet in a rush. The main idea was that the driver figure sitting in the seat of the vehicle would appear on the shoulder of the robot. The aim was the element of surprise that the vehicle was transformable without taking out the driver figure. I was a big fan of pre-Transformers Diaclone, and I always wanted to make a Transformer with a driver. But I wish it wasn't for the movie figures (*laugh) Because they are troublesome enough just to contrive vehicle to robot transformations, and now I had to figure out the way to add the figure on top of that. Initially we planned on Bumblebee as the first, then the larger vehicles, Ironhide and Ratchet. Bumblebee is smaller compared to the other two, so it was more difficult to come up with the transformation, but I was encouraged to try my best because he was one of the main mecha. I went as far as adding the console. Yuki: I took charge of the later products after Bumblebee. I have worked on Binaltechs and I thought I would manage with the know-how I built up. But coming up with a transformation with the driver inside was much more trying than I expected. I had to include a working steering wheel in a Binaltech, but this series was more challenging than that. Hasui: Complicated transformation like Binaltechs was not allowed either as the series was aimed for a younger generation than for the main line. Also, the common theme of this series was to reflect the bond between the robot and the human. That is why Bumblebee has a visor on/off feature; it is to distinguish the battle situations from the life not at a battle. Then, when we were just about to start with Ratchet and Ironhide... Yuki: Due to the product size, the lineup was switched to Sideswipe and Skids. Somehow we ended up with smaller cars than Bumblebee, and it was going to be even harder to add gimmicks! I included Arcee in Skids set to adjust the product size. Human Alliance figures are larger than their main line counterparts and I entertained the possibility of realizing more movie accurate transformation, but there also had to be a consideration to how they were meant to be played with and I abandoned the idea. Hasui: As merchandise, the focus of the series was to be on the vehicle mode and the robot mode only required a passable resemblance. Though I accidentally created a well-made Bumblebee and that must have intimidated Yuki. (*laugh) Yuki: You never thought of the others that had to follow Bumblebee! Really, it was cruel. (*laugh) Sideswipe has gull wing doors, and I had enough trouble just to make the driver figure sit inside. Though I also had great fun with this series because I could add extras that weren't possible with a deluxe thanks to their bigger size. Though the deluxe versions have more movie accurate transformation process, as I had to take the driver figure's position into consideration with this series. Human Alliance is more focused on a play value as a vehicle toy. Hasui: As of now we are working on several HA figures due out in 2010, and I hope this type of products will become a regular lineup. Q: Tell us about Gravity Bots. Hasui: As I mentioned earlier, we are seeking to expand our customer base and have considered various new possibilities. Once the subject was on how we would make Transformers that could be enjoyed by anyone, and I casually said, "What can be easier to do than to stand the vehicle upright?". We generated several ideas from there and eventually settled with an auto-transformation activated by standing up the vehicle. Yuki: To be honest, I play with them quite often and find them most enjoyable. There is always one of those on my desk so that I can fiddle with it any time. It is hard to describe the fun with written words though, so I hope the readers of this book will pick one up and actually try it themselves. Hasui: They are the products most true to "More Than Meets the Eye". Yuki: There are also EZ Collection figures that transform neatly despite their small size. This series also features Devastator that manages individual transformation as well as combining. Along with the main line, all products are full of Transformers charm. "The Future of Transformers" Q: Which figures left you strong impressions throughout the development of the first and the second movie products? Yuki: Sideways for me. I had to add the tires on his arms in a big hurry thanks to the sudden design alternation. I went through such a hassle only to see him chopped in half just like that in the movie. (*laugh) Such movie appearance and all that considered, he is the memorable one (#). Hasui: The ones (#) that didn't turn out like we wanted to and gave us trouble are more memorable indeed. For me, Barricade from the first movie was just that. The first prototype I made was so awful, and as I amended him again and again, I got more attached to him. (*laugh) This time I put in lots of time and effort on starting up Human Alliance series, so HA Bumblebee is the product that stayed on my mind. Though it was a long time ago now and my memory is getting rather vague. (*laugh) Yuki: There are so many products in the movie line, and we work on an extremely fast pace. Because of that, we forget about most of them within a year. (#Note; Both Mr.Hasui and Mr.Yuki affectionately refer to the toys they developed as "child" (?), which many Japanese TF fans also do when they refer to the figures they own. I find it very endearing, but unsure about how it sounds in English and chose not to use the word here. - Sydney) Q: Tell us about your impression of the movie. Yuki: I was not sure about the first movie because I knew nothing about which characters would be in or what they would be like. The second one had more reference to the original, which gave me a high expectations for the third one. I wonder if there will be more new characters, or if there will be an unexpected turn in the story. Hasui: I always worry if the characters I created the toys of would play important parts or not. At the same time I look forward to seeing the new characters for the next movie. In "Revenge" I was really hoping to see Starscream doing something important during the absence of Megatron. But Megatron returned much sooner than I expected! Q: What are your resolutions for the future? Yuki: I fear there may not be much left to improve Optimus Prime figure for the third movie because the "Revenge" version is such a huge step up from the first movie one. It is not that you can always make a better figure by including more intricate transforming mechanism. We can also try a new approach like we did with Gravity Bots. Hasui: I would like to try something different again. We came up with "Automorph" for the first movie line, and "Mech-Alive" and combiners for the second, and I should think we are expected to do something even better for the next movie. I will do my best not to dissappoint the customers who will see the movie. Yuki: Thanks to the movies, the word "Transformers" has become more recognizable. I want to provide good product contents that will attract those new fans. In America, Transformers garner more interest, but there were also many Japanese people who remembered Transformers when the movies came out. The franchise has finally become a brand which bridges 2 generations like we have been hoping. It used to be like, "Convoy's real name is Optimus Prime", but now I guess it is more like, "Optimus used to be called Convoy". I would be really happy if parents and their children could have a conversation like that. Q: Finally please send your messages to the fans. Yuki: In Japan, there are many Transformers lines besides the movie series, such as Device Label. I think Japanese fans are very fortunate. Please try these other series, too. Also, when you will watch "Revenge" on DVD, please take the toys you are collecting now and have fun with them again. Hasui: Sometimes you don't notice certain details of a movie until you watch it a few times. Toys can have such details, too. As you play with your toys more, you get to see them better. There are more to them than your first impressions. We always think in the long term of 10 ~ 20 years when we develop a product, and will never cease to do so. I will do my best to relay our enthusiasm to the customers.

A whopping 76% majority voted for the bus for its bright red panel exterior and familiar details, such as Oyster card readers and destination signage. Paramount Home Entertainment teamed up with prop and model-making company, Propshop, whose previous credits include making the original 1989 Batmobile, to create 'Bendy-Bus Prime'. Made from over 100 original bus parts and synthetic materials, the Transformer is a giant 13ft high and 11ft wide. Despite his intentions to phase out all London bendy buses, Mayor of London Boris Johnson declined to comment. Paramount Home Entertainment has created 'Bendy-Bus Prime', the first ever British Transformer to celebrate the DVD & Blu-ray release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, out now.

Beyond the holiday rush, one thing that means is that many are already looking towards the new year, and in this case the new decade. That also means that the "recaps" and "best of lists" for 2009 are already out in full force. In keeping with that theme, Yahoo! has presented their 2009 - Year in Review, which among other things features their top internet searches of the year. Not surprisingly, Transformers and more specifically the blockbuster movie Revenge of the Fallen are well represented. In fact, ROTF actress Megan Fox ranks #4 in Yahoo's overall Top 10 most searched list. Here is what Yahoo! had to say about her ranking. Like her or not, Megan Fox was one of the biggest stories of 2009. Best known for looking sultry on the red carpet and acting offended when compared to Angelina Jolie, Ms. Fox also made (more) headlines by bashing "Transformers," the film franchise that made her famous. But then "Jennifer's Body" hit theaters. After the hipster horror flick headlined by Fox tanked at the box office, the oft-ogled starlet changed her tune about the robots in disguise. Although some question Ms. Fox's ability to sell tickets, nobody can doubt her canny ability to drive searches wild. In a somewhat related story. even though the US car industry has been struggling at best, the Chevrolet Camaro has been one domestic model that has definitely risen above that. In fact, the 2010 Chevy Camaro actually was the most searched car model on Yahoo this year. Revenge of the Fallen and of course Bumblebee definitely had a lot to do with that.

A Rare Opportunity to 'Transform' Your Bottom Line, and 'Roll Out' With The #1 Publicity Machine This Side of Cybertron....! You've just stumbled upon an opportunity SO RARE, only a few will ever get a chance to read this page before it gets taken down forever..... Best Part: If you're reading this, you have a window of opportunity (albeit a small one - probably hours) to snap up Optimus Prime Right Now! Tuesday, 10:30am December 10th, 2009: An Urgent Personal Message From West Loh Dear Fellow Autobot Allegiance Member, My name is West and if you've got 15 minutes, I'd like to personally introduce you to Optimus Prime and how to maximise his involvement in your organisation. Until recently, Optimus Prime remained unconscious for millions of years. After the shuddering earthquake on Tuesday, May 8th, 1984, Optimus was suddenly awoken from slumber by his ship's repair system. Now, after decades of battling the evil Decepticons and having saved the Earth, Optimus has re-surfaced from hiding, and is available to serve you and your business! How It All Began Please let me explain more and I'll tell you what this is all about....We'll start where it all began, deep inside the psyche of the mastermind behind Optimus.... Inside the head of Optimus' creator Let me tell you about the master artist behind Optimus. Imagine a person who was so obsessed with his craft, that he lived and breathed Optimus, his journey's, his battles, his flaws. Day and night, for 3 whole months he immersed himself in getting to know this great leader. He watched every transformers movie, every television episode (starting from the beginning original cartoon series) and read every comic book he could find. He felt he could never create a true representation of Optimus unless he felt he knew him personally. And he did. He could tell you what Optimus favourite sayings were, what he'd do in certain battle situations, and how he has changed over time, and even become (dare we say it?) a little more human. Then, over a two week period he visited every scrapyard, every car yard, every mechanic and asked every friend he could to attain the raw materials to create Optimus. He spent close to $10,000 buying the raw materials, which were pulled from lawnmowers, cars, trucks, chainsaws, motorbikes, toolsheds, factory machines and anything else he could think of. He then stripped them to their bare essentials, and got to work. He locked himself away for 75 days and nights, wielding only a welding instrument and a few other basic power tools, and from the rubble, emerged Optimus! Why would he offer to Reveal Optimus Secret Hiding Place? Like many business owners during the Global Financial Crisis, the artist behind Optimus had to take desperate measures in order to keep his business afloat and put food on the table for his family. The Global Financial Crisis has hit most industries with a sledge hammer, and when its time to cut on expenses, extravagant artwork is THE first thing to get the boot from budgets. He's decided to let his prized possession go in order to not only feed his family and pay the rent, but be able to afford some christmas presents to make this year a memorable one. This is the gift Optimus will give to him. Which means you get Optimus at a seriously discounted price. Here's 8 Compelling Reasons Why Optimus Needs To Serve YOU! 1. There's only ONE of Optimus. That's it. No copies, no second chances. This is literally the only and last look you'll get at having optimus serve you in your business, organisation or community. If you miss out on this opportunity to a competitor or a private collector, you'll be rueing it for a lifetime. 2. Many small to medium sized organisations routinely spend $100,000 + on pieces of obscure artwork to decorate their bare walls. For less than half of that, you'll not only own a piece of transformer collectible history but you'll see a measurable return on your investment within weeks of displaying him. 3. Do you own a business that could benefit from millions of dollars worth of free publicity? Are you in the toy retailing industry? Or Any industry to do with children? Here's why I ask: Optimus LITERALLY stops people dead in their tracks. When I first saw Optimus, he was surrounded by mad-raving transformer fans. They couldn't get enough of him and sounds of ghast and amazement rippled through the crowds as people called their friends to come take a look. The guy looking after Optimus was charging $30 a photo, with people happily paying to get a photo with Optimus! He also had a donations box for people who appreciated the exquisite detail Optimus has. Needless to say, he made a good living from these two income sources alone. The same idea would work exceptionally well in a display window outside your store, or just as well if you have an open foyer in your building with lots of human traffic. - An obscure piece of original artwork these days (paintings, sculptures, abstract) can routinely set you back anywhere from $5000 - $300,000. And apart from covering a big bare wall, and attracting not much attention at all, they usually don't add any monetary, real-value to your business. As we've already discussed, you can turn Optimus into a money making machine! And if you ever decide to resell him (say in 3 years time when Transformers 3 comes out, he'll make you a handsome return). - A full page advertisement in the local newspaper will cost you up to $10,000 for ONE day! Optimus will provide a steady yet strong stream of traffic and publicity for you.... FOREVER! - Many medium-sized companies, as a matter of policy, give their CEO's slick, executive $150,000 + company cars to drive each year. I'm sure they'd be ok driving a $100,000 car this year in exchange for a massive rise in profitability and brand image, which is priceless. - How much is your annual marketing budget? How much do you spend on advertising in magazines, television, on the internet? Do you think a small investment now, that would return endless publicity, attention, would be worth considering? How about if all those people came to YOU in an eternal stream of leads? 4. Are you a private collector of Transformers and looking for the piece de la resistance to make you the envy of every transformer collector on the planet?? If you're a true Transformers cult fan or collector, you'll know that private collectors will pay a mint for a rare figure or brand new in box Generation 1 Transformer or anything rare and transformer related (In fact, I just saw an auction for a toy Optimus Prime going for $3600 USD). Just do an ebay search if you don't believe me. You'll also know that Optimus Prime is usually right at the top when it comes to highest bidders and popularity. So, the question isn't IF this super rare (only 1 on the planet) autobot will be sold, it's WHEN (and more importantly, are you going to be leading Optimus in his next mission or is your competitor?!). 5. We've had to liquidate Optimus fast due to the Global Financial Crisis. Do you know someone who would pay a mint for Optimus? Why not buy him at a discount and make money selling him to your best contacts? 6. Are you in charge of a large shopping mall, park or public open space? Are you looking for impactful, show stopping pieces of artwork to give the area and the collection that exclusive, high end feel at a fraction of the cost of all the other artwork you've invested in? 7. Are you a steward of hollywood memorabilia? Is it your responsibility to ensure you seek and acquire the best, most rare and exclusive human inspired creations on the planet? Perhaps you want to showcase Optimus at your museum. Maybe you own a Planet Hollywood and want to be THE Planet Hollywood that everyone talks about, leaving your competitors in the dust? 8. Would your tech firm benefit from the aura and 'coolness' of having Optimus watch over your employees? Imagine how productive they'd be if they knew Optimus hand cannon would be unleashed on them if they didn't outperform expectations. Get a piece of Optimus' unbreakable strength in your business! Optimus wishes to pass you this message (click to hear): If you've read this far, I'm guessing a world of new ideas are swimming around in your head right now, and you're interested in learning more about how Optimus could work for you (and I want to thank you for your time). Here are some of the tech specs about Optimus which you should know: -We don't know the exact weight of Optimus, due to the varying weight of his energon matrix cube. However, close estimates are between 450 - 550kg of raw metal. You may need to consider this if you live outside of Australia and wish to ship Optimus overseas. See below for more detail on shipping options and dimensions. - Optimus Prime will lay dormant in a wooden crate during his journey to his new home outside of Cybertron. He will be dismantled upon dispatch and can be easily put together upon arrival (so easy, in fact, that assembly instructions are NOT even needed!) - Optimus, when in transport mode, is able to remove his head from his body and stored safely. His legs and torso are in once piece. His arms and his gun lifts off easily which makes transport alot more efficient, and almost eliminates any chance of damage (we both know how tough Optimus is). imus in full Autobot mode towers 220cm tall. Yes that's 7 foot 2 inches! He is GIGANTIC compared to a normal human being, just like in the movies. In fact, with the average height of an NBA player at 6 foot 9 inches, Optimus towers over 99% of the worlds best Basketballers playing for the NBA! -Optimus wields an almost metre long Laser Photon Gun Made from a Honda Chrome Exhaust Pipe (see above). It's heavy, and a weapon of mass destruction, but it is currently unable to be wielded here on earth (on Cybertron, however this weapon wreaks havoc on Decepticon scum!) -Optimus Prime has two protective clear coats of lacquer over it, however continuous exposure to the elements may cause it to rust if it wasn't treated on a regular basis. -All the workmanship on the welding is 100% guaranteed. If you find otherwise, I will personally arrange and pay for that joint to be welded back so Optimus health is fully restored. Rest assured, he is as durable and bulletproof in real life as he is in his starring roles! -You may need to clean Optimus if you are considering having him around kids. He's made from 100% raw materials from chainsaws, bikes, cars and the like. Those chainsaws had oil and dirt all over them and the artist wanted to maintain that rustic feel. More photos at higher resolution can be given upon request (contact me using the contact seller link above). Final Note on Optimus: This creation does NOT transform into a truck, and will remain permanently in autobot mode. If you wish to get a separate metallic creation of optimus in vehicle mode, that can be arranged at a future date upon customised request. Please also note that Optimus does not move freely or have any form of animatronics inside (at least, not yet - perhaps you might be able to rectify that and use it?). He is a static figure as he stands right now.

There were guesses all over the map, from War Within Grimlock to TransTech Optimus Prime. Thanks to the latest trailer for the recently discovered War For Cybertron game, we can now deduce that one of the said unknown prototypes may, in fact, be that of Optimus Prime. As of posting, we can neither confirm nor deny the complete validity of this revelation, but the images don't lie and it looks like the Transformers Universe may be getting new additions to the family.

The Devastator gift set includes transformable legends class versions of Constructicons Scrapper, Long Haul, Mixmaster, Rampage, Hightower, Scavenger, and Overload. While there has been no retail price announced on this yet, due to its size, it should be a more affordable option for any collector. I have only reviewed the set MISP (mint in sealed package), but it seems to be EXACTLY the same as the Takara EZ Devastator set. The paint apps when scrutinized from the outside of the box and compared to my EZ Devastator seem to be exactly the same. The package is a oval plastic. Similar to what one received when they bought a Target Exclusive Allspark version a few years back, it is not cardboard, but will display very nicely, especially with a set of the regular-sized Constructicons (as you can see in the photos). BIO-"Never before has a robot so powerful been seen anywhere in the galaxy. Indeed, few forces on Earth can match the strength and fury of CONSTRUCTICON DEVASTATOR. He is the equal of Earth's most powerful storms. - [Transformers 3 "Leaked Script" Review](https://transmy.com/bulletin/transformers_3_leaked_script_review.htm) - As we all know, the first two Transformers films left us fans wanting. We wanted more GIANT FREAKIN' ROBOTS, more action! Bay tried to appease us with this year's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Make no mistake, that movie made several HUGE improvements over the first. But it still had it's own downside: humping dogs, Megan Fox, Turtorro's butt, Megan Fox, etc. Now supposedly, this is an official draft. I came to that conclusion after seeing in big letters, the word DRAFT on every dang page! So, is it a good script? I can honestly say that it goes in a completely different direction from the Bay films which isn't overall a bad thing. Unfortunatley, that leads me to the conclusion that the script is a fake. Oh, well..... It is still some nice piece of fiction! Remember when Michael Bay said there were around 43 bots in ROTF? Well, it dropped to about 36. Not neccessarily a bad thing. But I do not see a mention of Jolt anywhere! I was looking forward to some character development on his part! So all you can expect to see are the Aerialbots, the Combaticons, Perceptor, Wheeljack, Ultra Magnus, and Shockwave just to name a few. That being said, this was an AWESOME read! If ever you were a fan of the 1984 cartoon series, you will be rewarded! This is the ultimate homage to G1! The story needs work but then again this IS a draft! *Beware of spoilers* The story kicks off when Sam needs Prime's help with another fragment of the All Spark. Yeah, like they never keep running out of those. The fragment could create an infinite amount of Energon, the lifeblood of the Transformers. But when they are experimenting with it aboard the Ark (Dude! Nerdgasm!), Megatron attacks in his own ship. Somehow they all manage to travel back in time to the year 1982. (Yeah, I know. Another time travel movie.) This is where the cool stuff happens. Prime orders everyone to assimilate a new mode to blend into the time period. Prime becomes the flat nosed cab over engine Peterbilt Semi we have all come to love! And Sam makes him lose the flames! Mirage keeps going back and forth between a Formula 1 Race Car and a Pontiac Trans Am. It's great! I won't give away all the details. Like I said, it's a great read. But I must add that Sam realizes that he can erase the Autobot/Decepticon War from earth's history by getting rid of the Cube! Oh and he meets up with his grandad! Not his great great grandad, but his grandad you know? His father's father? That's it! That's all I am saying plotwise! Read the rest yourself! To sum it all up, this would make an EXCELLENT movie! And if directed correctly (AHEM! Mr. Bay!) could win some real awards other than best special effects. Which of course I hope ROTF wins this year. I can't see Michael bay sanctioning this script though. Not enough military presence and way too short. I give this script an 8 out of 10. This is only a draft, so if it is real, there will probably be some major changes by the time it hitd theatres! Please let this be real!

The leading specialty toy retailer has unveiled its annual list, filled with new items that parents will be searching for this Christmas. Kids can take control of the ultimate weapon in the evil Decepticon army with this monstrous Transformers action figure that can be built by combining six different construction vehicles known as the Constructicons. Before converting into Devastator, children can pretend they're waiting to ambush the heroic Autobots at a construction site with these Robots in Disguise, including Longhaul, Mixmaster, Scavenger, Rampage, Scrapper, and Hightower. After changing into its ultimate form, Devastator can unleash its weapons with lights and sounds that bring the excitement of this summer's blockbuster film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to life. Two AA batteries required (included). Suitable for ages five years and up. Here are the Toys R Us 'Fabulous 15', representing the best new toys of the holiday season (listed in alphabetical order): - [Human Alliance Barricade](https://transmy.com/bulletin/human_alliance_barricade.htm) - MidnightBliss has posted some of the 1st in hand images of Human Alliance Barricade with Frenzy from the Revenge of The Fallen line! The 1st Decepticon in the Human Alliance line, Barricade was released sooner than some expected, showing up in stock at site sponsor BigBadToyStore just a few days ago! Here's what MidnightBliss had to say about the figure - transformation is really close to the deluxe version. A few more little steps added and that's it. Like Bumblebee he has a weapon for one of his hands. The left hand is a "spinning blade" that pops out when you press the gas cap on the car. Frenzy can ride in the car or under the hood ala the deluxe version. He is as big as HA Bumblebee. Frenzy is like the other HA humans. Tiny and hard to stand. He can lay flat in the "chest" of Barricade and man guns that flip out. His mouth opens and closes for the head gimmick. - [TFWiki Reaches 10,000 Entries](https://transmy.com/bulletin/tfwiki_reaches_10_000_entries.htm) - At 10,000 articles, the Transformers Wiki (TFwiki.net) has reached an amazing milestone. Thanks to the hard work of its contributors, TFwiki.net has become the most complete and comprehensive Transformers resource on the Internet, spanning all corners of Hasbro's multiverse surrounding Optimus Prime, Megatron, and their warring robot brethren. The Transformers Wiki began in 2006 as a very small project hosted by Wikia, and it made worldwide news on September 15, 2008, when the Transformers Wiki left Wikia for its own hosting. Since then, the Transformers Wiki has thrived beyond all expectations, exploding from 6000 legitimate content pages to its present number. Users are charmed by its accessibility, humor, and breadth of information - all without being obscured by ugly placement of advertising. From "Airazor" to "Zarak," TFwiki.net as a Transformers resource simply has no equal. The ten thousandth article was "Ming-Li," the female racer from the Transformers Animated episode, "Velocity." The article was written by TFwiki.net user Jim Sorenson, who appropriately enough gave Ming-Li her name in the official Animated handbook, the AllSpark Almanac. She was named after his real-life wife. About TFwiki.net TFwiki.net is a comprehensive resource about Hasbro's Transformers, attracting an average of 45 thousand users per day. It is not an official resource or endorsed by Hasbro, but is maintained by dedicated fans of Transformers.

He is a new mould - [Powercore Combiners, New Line?](https://transmy.com/bulletin/powercore_combiners_new_line_.htm) - A poster over at /toy, the toy related discussion board at 4Chan, has posted a very interesting photo. The photo posted seems is a packaging mock-up, basically a prototype for the toy's actual packaging, of what seems to be cardboard cut-outs of Deluxe Huffer and his partner Caliburst. The Caliburst partner seems to transform into a weapon that can at least combine with Huffer's alt-mode. This is similar to the Transformers Armada line where every toy came with a Mini-Con partner to interact with. As images like this can easily be manipulated, we advise you to take this with a grain of salt. We'll keep you updated on this new toy-line once information becomes available.

We reported previously on leaked solicitations that indicate Deluxe class figures will be coming out starting in March 2010. One scan provided by Autobase Aiichi (translation), juxtaposes the Revenge of the Fallen and Transformers Animated versions of Optimus Prime while the second scan announces that the line will launch in Spring 2010. The second scan also reveals that the N.E.S.T. Global Alliance will also be released in Japan starting next year. - [Shanghai Showdown Versus Pack](https://transmy.com/bulletin/shanghai_showdown_versus_pack.htm) - More redecos coming - you may have been watching our news lately and were wondering "Will Hasbro release White Demolishor like Takara?" Well you've got your answer, as Ebay seller TFCToy gives us images of a two-pack entitled "Shanghai Showdown" that has Demolishor, and Ice Cream truck: Skids and Mudflap. Demolishor is a white version of the usual Demolisher where Hasbro trying to make it as accurate as the movie, with dirtied up tires - the paint scheme of Demolishor in Shanghai. The Ice Cream truck twins look to be rusty as a old nail and have new decals, also presumably movie accurate. This is what was stated in the bio; In the crowded, twisted streets of a Shanghai slum, a quiet night explodes in fire and debris. The massive Decepticon Demolishor desperately smashes his way through apartments, shops and roadways, in an attempt to escape the Autobots hunting him. It's up to Mudflap and Autobot Skids to stop him before he destroys more of the city than can be repaired.

What do all of these movies have in common (other than being complete wastes of time and money)? They are all crappy thrillers where the protagonist learns of the coming apocalypse and, using that knowledge, tries to save the earth. All of them were also number one on opening weekend and considered financial successes. So you know what that means: we get another one. Producer of favorites like Doom, Imagine That, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Lionsgate are now producing Panopticon, the newest from director Peter Cornwell and writer Craig Rosenberg, according to Variety. The film follows a salesman (enter "everyman" actor here) who receives a "pre-recorded message to himself" telling him that he has to save the world from certain doom. Research finds that a panopticon is a prison designed by Jeremy Bentham that allows an observer to watch over the inmates without the inmates being able to tell who is watching them. What this has to do with the movie, I have no idea. This is the part in the article, however, where I complain about Hollywood being completely devoid of original ideas, but I feel as though at least a third of the articles I write for this site have some version of that lament, so I am going to forgo it this time around. Instead, here is a baby aardvark.

Tformers had a chance to talk to designers from Hasbro and Activision as well as ask some questions of War for Cybertron developer, High Moon Studios. Many aspects of the game are still being kept under wraps, but we managed to glean some new insights into what we can expect from the game. Cybertron often gets short shrift, a war torn metallic back ground, abandoned and often just plain un-interesting. War for Cybertron aims to do justice to its namesake by providing the most expansive look at the planet to date, giving us a picture of a functioning, populated Cybertron. War for Cybertron - [30 Worst Named Transformers](https://transmy.com/bulletin/30_worst_named_transformers.htm) - ?It's unclear if the marketing teams at Hasbro and their Japanese counterpart Takara are really naive or just share a sick sense of humor. Several Transformers over the years have been given names sure to get them beaten up by their peers on the playroom battlefield and chuckled at by adults who appreciate quality juvenile comedy. To be fair, a good number of Transformer names we'll be pointing and laughing at today are likely the result of mangled Japanese to English translations, but that doesn't make them any less amusing. Hasbro, on the other hand, created some real howlers on their own -- our favorite non-specific Transformer name being the Headmasters -- and they have no excuse. These are the 30 most unfortunately named Transformers, usually because their monikers remind us of bodily functions or humping. What else did you expect from a site called Topless Robot? Thanks to TFU.info for most of the pictures. 30) Ultra Magnus ?No wonder he's so mad at the Matrix. His name sounds like a condom size! At least it's impressive one. 29) Midnight Express ?What happens when you got the late night desire but not the fire, and just want to get back to sleep. 28) Tentakil ?Poor Tentakil isn't allowed with 500 meters of any Japanese girls' high school. 27) Loafer ?Does he transform into a comfortable shoe, or is he just a lazy bum-bot? 26) Gingham ?He's that embarrassing Transformer your grandma knitted for you with material from the Yarn Barn. 25) Bombshell ?Maybe on Cybertron he is, but he ain't no Marilyn Monroe by Earth standards. Oh, who are we kidding? We wouldn't' turn him down... 24 & 23) Clench and Thrust ?? From the Kamasutra Book of Decepticon Baby Names. 22) Magnificus ?Because Supremeous Awesomeonicus was already assigned. 21) Vroom ?Fun fact: If your parents bought you Vroom, there's a good chance they thought you might be retarded. 20) Wideload ?How the hell do Transformers get fat? Never mind, we probably don't want to know. 19) Powerhug ?You knew Hasbro was really hurting for ideas when the made the Emotionally Neediest Transformer. 18 - 16) Glide, Nightglider and Powerglide ??? Hasbro offers a full range of Transformers products for all of your lubrication needs. 15) Gas Skunk ?Interestingly, Gas Skunk's breath is always fresh and minty, but no one can ever tell because his body reeks of skunks and farts. 14) Hot Rod ?All right. We were almost willing to let Hot Rod slide, because it can also be a term for a car. But then we remembered when he got the Matrix he changed his name to Rodimus Prime. Obviously, the dude just really liked rods. 13) Policeman Pete ?Move along, folks. Nothing to see here. Until he was recolored into Fire Marshal Mike, anyway. 12) Drill Nuts ?The Insecticon named Bombshell used to implant cerebro-shells in people's brains so he could take over their minds. I cringe to think what this guy does. 11 - 8) Alan, Joe, Leaf and Rodney ??? ?No, it's not another fine sitcom from the minds that brought you "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place" or "Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane." It's what happens when you sleep in on the day they're giving out Transformers names and all the Optimus Primes and Metroplexes are already taken. 7) Windbreaker ?Windbreaker races towards his enemies like a mighty wind, bursting across Decepticon lines with explosive force. Is that fear he smells? 6) Huffer ?Hey, what's Huffer doing out in the garage? 5) Flareup ?Nothing stops her from slaying Decepticons, not even her genital herpes. Even Transformers can lead a healthy and heroic lifestyle with Valtrex! 4) Erector ?Buildings ain't all he's putting up. 3) Nightbeat ?Don't let your parents catch you playing with him under the covers. 2) Discharge ?Seriously -- if this comes out of your penis, call a doctor. 1) Breast Force ?The collective name for six Decepticon warriors who can merge together to form the giant Liokaiser. Each robot wears a chest plate that transforms into an animal battle partner. What, did you expect a bunch of Transformers swinging around their giant mammaries on the battlefield? It's a real shame that's not the case, because they would have been the ultimate Topless Robots.

Even during the Great Depression of the 1930's, the entertainment industry thrived as everyday people sought an escape, if only temporary, from life's many woes. It seems that, once again, history is repeating itself, in a good way. Reuters is reporting that 2009 is shaping to be a record year of domestic sales earnings at movie box offices across the nation, approaching the $10 billion USD mark. Of this monumental mark, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen raked in $402 million USD alone, according to tracking firm Box Office Mojo. The only other film to come close to that is the Harry Potter franchise continuation, The Half Blood Prince, at $301 million USD. With pre production already in motion for the third film of the Transformers Live Action Movie franchise, its a wonder what records will be broken in 2011. Whatever may come, you can be certain to find the latest news and information right here on Seibertron.com, your Ultimate Transformers Resource!

The Transformers sequel, starring sex symbol Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf, was also voted second most disappointing in the poll by Moviefone.com.

Fortunately enough, Hongkong fans managed to enjoy the overflowing stock in their market. HK-TF member ??? has purchased the Takara Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Buster Optimus Prime & Jetfire 2 pack and shares his haul with us. This version of Buster Prime comes with the mouth plate, and you can compare it to normal version of Buster Prime in our galleries. As for Jetfire, the body colour also differs from the first version, with more of a brown and gray colour scheme. Check out the pictures of both figures below. What makes this item a most seeked item in 2009-2010 is because of Buster Prime. And for variant chasers, leader Jetfire also offer a difference in it's paintjob. The whole paintjob gives Jetfire the goldie look as the brown looks goldish. Not sure if it is an intended movie accurate paintjob but certainly it adds aura in the already menacing Jetfire. Both figures are in their robot modes placed sided by sided in this hefty sized Japanese TakaraTomy boxset.

How does on feel about this shocker? Sex does sell, and that is what she did in the Transformer's movie, showed off herself and as for her acting skills, she can act but she needs to prove it more by doing less 'sexy roles' and more comedy and drama roles. just sayin' SHE may be the hottest star in Hollywood but MEGAN FOX has been dealt a cruel blow by movie fans. Megan beat BEYONCE and HILARY SWANK to the dubious honour in a poll on US website Moviefone.com. And to add insult to injury Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was Worst Film of 2009 as well as the second-most Disappointing Film of the Year, after SACHA BARON COHEN'S Bruno. Bizarrely, Transformers 2 also picked up the Best Action Movie accolade. And the Foxy one didn't walk away completely empty handed - she was once more voted Sexiest Female Star.
