Bumblebee might just yet save the day in real life as well as the films! General Motors must be delighted at the fact that car dealerships are selling out of 2010 Camaros within hours - hours, not days - of receiving stock, according to this report on Bloomberg. The 2010 Camaro is Bumblebee's alternate mode in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and the strong sales of this car means that should General Motors continue their partnership with Paramount for a third Transformers film, Bumblebee will almost certainly retain his cool alternate mode.

In a recent interview with io9.com, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have spoken about a few of the creative plots points, as well as once again commenting on if they will do Transformers 3 or not, although the answer is still "never say never" without committing to anything.
If anyone is wondering, yes, they do comment on the "wrecking balls" in this interview. They were in the script, generally a lot of the humor is written into the script. Check out the interview for the full story by clicking on the link above. |

Michael Bay has posted a message on Shoot For the Edit thanking the fans for their support on the opening day of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, for making it one of the biggest single opening days in movie history at $60 Million in the US and around $100 million worldwide.
The 400 critics around the globe spoke. Then fans around the world spoke. Transformers made $60.6 million dollars in the United States for a total of around $100 million from the world on opening day! One of the biggest single days in movie history. Then never seem to understand that I make movies for people to take a ride and escape. To all the Transformer Fans - Thank You Michael |

Two new images have surfaced on Actoys showing FansProject's upcoming releases. We can now see the full scale length of Henkei Convoy when attached to the G3 and D.I.A. Commander trailers. Also posing nonchalantly is Superion with his new feet, arms, face mask and weapons.

A variant of the deluxe Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Mudflap has been found and purchased.
The variant has MUDFLAP on the vanity plate instead of TRAX which thus far has been the common release. |

In its third day, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen maintained its blockbuster run, raking in an estimated $36.7 million on approximately 10,000 screens at 4,234 sites. That stands as the tenth highest-grossing Friday ever, but all movies ahead of it had Friday openings, giving the action sequel the record for biggest non-opening Friday gross. It ranks ahead of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Spider-Man 2 and The Matrix Reloaded on that front, although each of those pictures had higher attendance. Revenge of the Fallen's Friday included an estimated $2.6 million from 169 IMAX runs, and the picture has thus far made $8.9 million in the format.
With a $125.9 million total in three days, Revenge of the Fallen slotted in as the fourth highest-grossing three-day opening on record, behind The Dark Knight, Spider-Man 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, but, again, among movies that didn't open on a Friday, it grabbed the top spot. More importantly from a franchise perspective, it has grossed more than the previous Transformers did in its first four and a half days ($107.6 million). |

The Takara-Tomy website has been updated with information about a new E-Hobby exclusive. The figure will be based on the Revenge Voyager Optimus Prime and will be on sale during the 2009 Tokyo Toy Show. Remaining units not sold during the event will be available for sale at the E-Hobby store. The only apparent difference from the mainstream release is the absence of Chinese characters on the truck mode.
