The "Transformers"-loving world was shocked last week when it was revealed that star Megan Fox would not be returning for the upcoming third movie in the franchise, which starts shooting this week. "Transformers" co-star Tyrese Gibson (USAF Master Sergeant Robert Epps) said he was disappointed when he heard the news of Fox's departure. "I was sad about it, man. Genuinely," he told MTV News on the red carpet for the E! 20th anniversary celebration Monday night. "We built something here. We all did. We all put our own sauce and stamp and energy on this franchise." As much as he was bummed to hear the news, Gibson isn't prying into the backstory before he heads to the "Transformers 3" set this Thursday. "I don't know exactly what went down," he said. "But it's crazy to see the band get broken up, you know what I mean?" No matter which story you believe — that Paramount decided not to exercise Fox's option, or that Fox decided she wanted out — it certainly is surprising that such a key figure in the franchise would be removed so suddenly, especially with production so close to kicking off. The problematic Fox/Bay relationship aside, there have been few indications of problems in the "Transformers" camp. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura even told MTV News in a recent interview that a "Transformers" without Fox was unthinkable. "Michael and Megan get along great. Like in any creative endeavor, there's not always total agreement," he said at the time. "But I think [reports of their issues with one another is] much ado about nothing. I even read that we were thinking about not casting her. Come on! It's so silly. As though we would want to mess with such a successful combination." Thanks to MTV. |

Following the footsteps of his Botcon 2010 mold-mate, we also get a better look at Botcon 2010 Gnaw again courtesy of board member Locustreign. Although Sky-Byte gains a new head mold and resembles his Timelines incarnation, Gnaw keeps Energon Sharkticon's head but with a deco clearly inspired on his Generation 1 namesake.

Another day, another new batch of images of Botcon's 2010 Breakdown. Although overexposed by now, these new images by board member Locustreign give us an exploded view of the new head mold. The engine head, and blaster are also given their own image, while in the rest the Stunticon manages to show off his articulation probably startled by his own shadow.

Botcon 2010 have announced their next guest! A man who needs no introduction, Stan Bush will be attending Botcon 2010 and attending autograph sessions throughout the convention. If you are not familiar with the name, you might be familiar with some of Stan's credits, which include the iconic "The Touch" and "Dare" from the 1986 Transformers Movie. Stan Bush joins Peter Cullen, Bob Budiansky, Yoke Hideaki and Kojin Ohno as one of Botcon's honored guests for what promises to be an excellent and memorable weekend.

Deadline New York reports that the role of the main actress for Transformers 3 is now filled.
According to the website, newcomer Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has become the winner to replace Megan Fox as Shia LaBeouf's love interest in Transformers 3. On the short-list with Huntington-Whiteley was Sarah Wright and Brooklyn Decker. The other actresses on the short-list have been informed that the female lead will go to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, so unless things fall apart at the negotiating table, she's the new Transformers 3 gal. However, we are still awaiting an official statement from the production company. |

Good news, Australian Transformers fans! While US fans are faced with a tough choice between Shockwave, Autobot Jazz and Demolishor for preorder incentive characters with their preorders of Activision's Transformers War for Cybertron, Australian fans can have their cake and eat it, thanks to EB Games Australia - they are offering both Jazz and Shockwave as preorder incentive characters!
Granted though, this news won't help if you were having trouble deciding if you wanted the cool Armada Demolishor unlock or not, but if you're a Generation 1 fan and are living in Australia, then this is the special preorder deal for you! |

Benson Yee's site, BWTF.com, has updated with images of a cool new Transformers Movie-series Legends Class four pack. The four pack is titled "Desert Decimation", and features redecos of the Legends Class Ironhide, Ratchet, Bonecrusher and Brawl toys. Ironhide, Ratchet and Bonecrusher mainly stay true to their original releases, just with some updated, more accurate paint applications (and some splattered mud on Ratchet). Brawl meanwhile is an entirely new deco, partially based on his "Desert Brawl" colors, but with enough variation to make him fresh and new.
Release details for this set are currently unknown, however for those who missed out on the Legends class versions of these characters when they were previously available, this set when it is released will be a perfect way to get caught up. Click on the link above to visit Ben's World of Transformers and see more images and information about the set. |

Technabob has posted an article about upcoming LED clock/watch Transformer made by TakaraTomy in cooperation with Seahope! If these look familiar, that's because the concept art is the same as the art for the Time Limit and Auto Ceptor figures which were canceled last July.
Looks like Chronolabel will be revived this year, hit the thumbnail to take a closer look! |

Twin Twist and Top Spin are extremely common figures to the English speaking collectors out there. Nearly every lot you buy has a few of them thrown in just to get rid of them. But, in Argentina, there were some really cool recolors of these molds.
So for today's Featured Ebay Auction, we actually have three auctions featuring the various recolor Jump Starters. all auctions come from seller argentostore. Check out G1 Salt-Man Z, G1 Robot-Man X, and G1 Robot-Man Z. Check out more Generation 1 Listings to find other great items. click the headline of the story for more photos. |

Throughout the last week all we heard was the “Megan Fox Incident”. It’s happy to hear from Tyrese Gibson (USAF Master Sergeant Robert Epps) that he just attended his Transformers 3 filming today.
The actor updated his Twitter account with… “First day of filming T3 in the am!. I’m so damn pumped I can't even sleep!!!...” And with… “Just got to set first day of filming Transformers 3! Wow!!” We will end this article with Epps' famous quote from the Transformers Live Action Movies; “Bring The Rain!!!” |

Transformers: Best Of Optimus Prime TPB Transformers: Ironhide #2 (also it's incentive cover) We have received the Diamond Comics Shipping List for next Wednesday, June 2nd, from 2005 Boards member D Drive. Transformers: Best Of Optimus Prime TPB Transformers: Ironhide #2 (also it's incentive cover) Transformers: Best Of Optimus Prime TPB; OPTIMUS PRIME is leader of the AUTOBOTS. During his time as PRIME he has been challenged both mentally and physically with the responsibilities of leadership. He has at times succeeded and at other times failed. These stories, culled from his datatracks across many timelines, are his finest moments. Transformers: Ironhide #2; Stranded on modern-day Cybertron, Ironhide discovers he's the only functioning life-form on the planet. Oh, except for the Swarm. Writer Mike Costa continues to put the fallen (now resurrected?!) Autobot through some strange paces, with stunning art by Casey Coller. |

Blog higekumatoytoy has gotten it's hands on the newest Alternity release: Starscream! No longer a jet, Starscream trades in his alt-mode for a road bound Mitsuoka Orochi. Even though now based on a car, his robot mode still has details that tie him into his previous incarnations, especially the wings that are folded out under his car roof backpack.

Hasbro Toyshop finally revealed the release date of the Transformers : Hunt For The Decepticons Leader Class Starscream.
And the date is set on 9th August, 2010. Pre-ordering has begun at the Official Hasbro Website. The approximate retail price of the Leader Class Starscream is $44.99. Leader Class Starscream Bio: OPTIMUS PRIME may think him a coward, but STARSCREAM never flees a fight out of fear alone. Every retreat is calculated to keep him alive long enough to return and destroy his opponents with overwhelming power. As long as the AUTOBOTS seek him in force, he will remain hidden. As soon as OPTIMUS PRIME ventures out alone, however, STARSCREAM will strike. Pump up the volume in your robot battles with this electronic robot figure and his exciting sounds! His light-up eyes will warn enemies away, but his jet engine and air combat sounds, automatic conversion sounds and cool character phrases are sure to send them running! If a few are brave enough to stick around and take on this villain, convert his arm to a “cannon” and activate his pop-out weapon accessories. Then, take the battle to a whole other level and convert him into F-22 Raptor jet vehicle mode so he can fight from the “skies”! Oh yes.. Includes 2 “AA” batteries. |

Last week, TFW2005.COM invited our users to a "Sound-Off!" ... we wanted to know what your thoughts were in regards to the absence of Transformers Movie alumni Megan Fox and the recent news of her being cut from the third Transformers Movie, popularly referred to as Transformers 3.
An overwhelming majority of you, 42.40% in fact, voted "It will have no effect" whether or not she's in the movie. 27.41% of you said that Megan Fox not being in the movie will actually "Help" it. And the underwhelming minority of you either said that her being gone will "Hurt" the movie (19.17%) and the other portion weren't sure (11.02%). Overall, we collected over 1,000 votes from our registered users. That's an awesome turn-out and we thank all of you for taking the time to submit your comments regarding the issue! Here are a few of our favorites: In regards to storyline issues with Megan's depature, Mattamus Prime said, "Isn't there enough plotholes already? What's one more?" Xaxis stated, "Personally, Megan Fox's involvement doesn't make or break a TF movie for me. I'm interested in the Transformers and don't watch the movies to see her. The character development in these movies hasn't gone deep enough to have built Mikaela's role into anything that will be missed." And finally, xHikariAngelx gave some insight for those who voted "Hurt" by saying, "True, Fox has been criticized for her eh...'acting'...but for the character itself to be cut out of the plot, after being there from the beginning as a pretty vital character in order to create an interesting storyline. I'm wary on how they can end her character's story without it seem to awkward or detached when the third movie comes into play." Again, thank you to over the 1,000 people who participated! We'll have another Sound-Off for you soon, so stay tuned! |

We all know that if we pre-order Transformers: War For Cybertron from certain stores, we will receive some sort of a bonus material. Usually almost all the stores give-away a bonus character (Shockwave, Demolishor, Jazz etc.).
But, if you order the game from K-Mart or from Sears, you will get a Collectible Comic Book. There is no confirmation what this comic book might be, but one can assume that the comic book will most likely be the Transformers: War For Cybertron tie-in comic book. Click here to visit the per-order page of the official game site. |

Earlier, we showed you a gallery of Alternity Starscream. Now it's Alternity Skywarp's turn. Thanks to hk-tf.com, we can now take a good look at the Alternity Skywarp.
Though Alternity Skywarp's vehicle mode is not a jet, his robot mode give-off an impression that he is a jet rather than a car. Click the Title Bar or the Image to take a look at the gallery. |
