A new auction from Taobao shows new pictures of Hunt for the Decepticons Banzaitron in both vehicle and bot mode. These pictures show new paint apps that highlight many of the molded in details of the tank mode and a G1 Decepticon logo for good measure. Unfortunately, it looks that the wobbly sword from Bludgeon has returned as well.

Transformers 3 producer Mr. Don Murphy posted a “Good Ol’ Sunday Posting” and talked briefly about the upcoming Transformers Live Action Movie. Although he didn’t mentioned much but, he did say that they are into the third week of filming and we will see old favorites and new characters.
This is what Mr. Murphy said about Transformers 3… “TRANSFORMERS 3 is starting its third week of shooting. As you guys know, everything on this movie is super top secret., but it is going very well and I think you will all be stoked to see old favorites and new characters coming at ya. You know I liked the second film a lot- that said the new screenplay brings back the sense of awe and wonder that made the first film so exciting and special. It’s a shame that Megan didn’t work out but with what Michael has planned you won’t miss her. There is still a hell of a lot of shooting to go and you don’t need me the way you guys dig up clues and shit- suffice it to say NEXT Fourth of July you guys will be excited again. I personally can’t wait.” What do you think? Leave a comment by hitting the Discuss Button. |

Finally, a news about a Demo of Transformers: War For Cybertron which you’ve all been waiting. But, the demo will be releasing for the XBox360 console, so says Matt Tieger, Game Director at High Moon Studios at a podcast interview for Major Nelson.
Mr. Tieger says that the demo will include a couple of game modes, couple of classes, and one map that is also playable in the full game. No release date was specified for the demo. But naturally it must happen before June 22nd. So, keep your eyes glued to the Transformers: War For Cybertron page at XBox Live Marketplace. |

The Washington Post published an article today telling the world what exactly the Transformers 3 Production Team going to shoot during their stay at Washington D.C.
Bill Line, Park Service spokesman, said the producers "have asked to do some things that simply are not done on the National Mall," among them staging a "car race" along the Mall's gravel paths and flooding it with artificial light in order to shoot at night. Sadly however, a dispute with the Park Service, over where and what the film crew will be allowed to shoot has producers from Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks scaling back their plans for the city. The companies had planned a colossal number of filming days -- about 14 -- in addition to an expected month or more of time in D.C. for other production needs. Now the period of "principal photography" might be whittled down to less than a week, despite the project having director Michael Bay and producer Steven Spielberg at the helm. You can read the entire article by visiting the above link or by hitting the Title Bar. Don't forget to leave a thought at the thread after reading the article. The Washington Post published an article today telling the world what exactly the Transformers 3 Production Team going to shoot during their stay at Washington D.C. This is what the article read... Battle of the Transformers starts even before the opening credits By Jonathan O'Connell Monday, June 7, 2010 As the story goes, the Transformers -- enmeshed in intergalactic battle -- traveled from the far-off planet of Cybertron all the way to earth in pursuit of an all-powerful talisman. They are having trouble handling the National Park Service, however. Plans are underway for portions of the third segment in the blockbuster Transformers series to be filmed in D.C. this September, a chance for the city and its businesses to reap spending on hotel rooms, meals, equipment rentals, taxi rides and temporary jobs from a production budget some have estimated to total more than $200 million. A dispute with the Park Service, however, over where and what the film crew will be allowed to shoot has producers from Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks scaling back their plans for the city. The companies had planned a colossal number of filming days -- about 14 -- in addition to an expected month or more of time in D.C. for other production needs. Now the period of "principal photography" might be whittled down to less than a week, despite the project having director Michael Bay and producer Steven Spielberg at the helm. Paramount spokeswoman Gabriela Gutentag said with negotiations ongoing, she did not know how many days the company would end up filming in D.C. "We've gone from two weeks to 10 days to three days to seven days; I don't really know," she said. Bill Line, Park Service spokesman, said the producers "have asked to do some things that simply are not done on the National Mall," among them staging a "car race" along the Mall's gravel paths and flooding it with artificial light in order to shoot at night. "A lot of this could be more appropriately shot in a Hollywood studio," Line said. "The National Mall is not an area in which Americans come to see high-tech action movies being shot." Kathy Hollinger, director of the D.C. Office of Motion Picture and Television Development, acknowledged that the plans amounted to "a lot more than D.C. has ever been accustomed to in terms of scale and impact," including, for instance, simulated explosions and pyrotechnics at locations along Pennsylvania and Independence avenues. "The robots will be here," she said. "It's not like they're going to be building and having these little miniature Transformers running around and then make them look real with CGI effects afterward." But Hollinger said that even with the changing plans, she expected "Transformers 3" to possibly have the greatest economic impact on the city of any film, surpassing the roughly $7.5 million Universal Pictures dropped in the city during six weeks of work in 2008 on "State of Play," a Russell Crowe film with scenes from Ben's Chili Bowl and the Georgetown waterfront. For "Transformers 3," her office has also partnered with a Los Angeles-area organization to train 50 District residents for production assistant jobs with Paramount, and she believes the film will also lead to tourism business. "The economic impact is tremendous because of its effects during the years after," Hollinger said. "Tourists, families, kids want to go to the cities where 'Transformers' was filmed, similar to the effect that 'Night at the Museum' has had." After "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" came out in 2009, the city's marketing arm, Destination D.C., partnered with Post Foods and Kraft Foods on a promotional sweepstakes offering a prize trip to Washington and overnight stay at the National Air and Space Museum. Though a lot is at stake with a blockbuster like "Transformers 3," the tension isn't new. Carol Flaisher, a longtime location manager in D.C., said producers and the Park Service were natural antagonists, with the movie crews demanding to do whatever they please and the Park Service wagging its finger. "We want to make the best movie we can make and that may mean pushing the envelope, and the Park Service is in the position of pushing back," she said. "It's not 'Transformers 3,' " she said. "It's every single movie production that comes to town." Don't forget to leave a thought at the thread. |

A Taobao auction has revealed an image of an unknown yellow Universe Hound with a white Universe Ravage (with a red Decepticon insignia).
The image shows these items on top of a plastic baggie labelled "BotCon 2010". Could this be the Primus Package attendee figure? Another item to be bought at the convention? Or some other figure we have yet to find out about? Head on into the forums and join in on the discussion! |

A small gallery has been posted to Flickr, showing off the vehicles of Transformers 3 in storage prior to being used on screen. The Ironhide Topkick and the Optimus Prime truck are both there, as is a group of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles, used for scouting terrain from the air). What is particularly exciting though is the presence of Autobot Ratchet, in his all-new deco. We previously saw it in transit, but it was partially covered up. Now you can see the whole thing for the first time! Ratchet now features a much brighter green, as well as a large gray stripe on the side panels and an entirely gray hood on his front. His side panels, instead of the "lifesign pulse" detail, now feature the wording "FIRE DEPARTMENT E4".
What do you think of this new look for Ratchet? Check out the images by clicking on the title of this story, and then share your thoughts on our 2005 Boards by clicking on the discuss button. |

Next in the line of fake replica knockoff Transformers comes G1 Menasor. This replica giftset should be popping up right about now, and will come both loose and in boxed giftset flavors. Those of you looking to score a vintage Menasor beware! (Note: Image of Menasor used in story is of a REAL vintage Menasor, not the knockoff one that will be surfacing).
Please keep in mind that these products are not endorsed by Hasbro or Takara-Tomy and therefore do not meet the same standard of quality control and safety that official products meet. We urge anyone in the market for vintage items to be sure of what they are actually buying, and educate themselves on the product before potentially purchasing a knockoff item. |

We're holding another SOUND-OFF! event! With the official release for Transformers: War For Cybertron exactly two weeks away (June 22nd), TFW2005.COM wants to know which system you're getting the game for!
Because we're not biased, we've included the options for the Cybertron Adventures for Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS, though this reporter has noticed that in recent previews, developer High Moon Studios has neglected to mention the Wii and DS versions in their latest interviews (most likely because another studio did the porting of the game to Wii and DS). Those who plan to buy multiple versions have an option, and those of you who are anti-video games or just think this game is going to suck, you have an option of "None" so you too can take part in the voting. Click here to vote and discuss! Our last SOUND-OFF! event received over 1,000 votes from users participating! Do you want to take part in the voting?

Movie blog site Just Jared and UK newspaper site Daily Mail Online have posted some of the first on site pictures of the new Transformers leading actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Rosie replaces outgoing leading lady Megan Fox as Shia Lebeouf's costar and love interest. Her first scene on set? She's wearing a bathrobe! Perhaps it is to protect her costume underneath from dirt, although with Megan Fox's track record, she might well be providing some fanservice!
