Although the Botcon registration still is not up today, we do have a cool update from the good folks at Fun Publications - images of the 2010 boxset exclusive Clench! Clench is a remolded version of Universe Onslaught, featuring a new head. He's got several pleasing details referencing the original toy, including the original's personal "wolf head in the cross hairs" sigil. Check out the images over at the official Botcon homepage.

The "Revenge Of The Fallen" Twins aren't the ones who are returning, but rather Brand New Twins. leftlanenews.com spy report identifies Two new Chevy Sparks with Autobot insignias during pre-production of Transformers 3. "Sporting “Autobot” center caps on the wheels, these two vehicles were captured doing some pre-production work before principal filming starts in a few weeks. We think you are looking at Skidz (green) and Mudflap (orange). Skidz is looking much sportier than in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, with new front and rear fascias, larger fenders, sportier wheels and a big wing. Mudflap was previously based on the Chevy Traxx concept, but for this installment, it appears both cars will be built off the Chevy Spark. General Motors will once again be the main vehicle supplier for the latest Transformers movie, so expect to see several other GM-badged vehicles, including a black and yellow Chevy Camaro as Bumblebee." So, now we know the motive behind Mr. Bay's comment. He wanted to hush the latest looks of everyone's favorite Robotic Twins; Skids and Mudflap.

Thanks to the Mediaweek message boards, it has been confirmed that ABC will air the Network Television Premiere of Transformers on Wednesday, May 26th from 8 PM to 11 PM Eastern Time as part of the ABC Wednesday Movie of the Week series.

Space Coast, Florida updated their Twitter account to let us in on an upcoming shooting for Transformers 3.
"Transformers 3 to film on Florida's Space Coast! Filming to begin September 2010!" As we all know, this is where the Kennedy Space Center is. UPDATE: Got the confirmation from the Kennedy Space Center that it will be the main location for the TF3 Shooting. Brevard County Film Commissioner Bonnie King tells Central Florida on Demand that filming will last about 8 days in early September. She says location scouts have visited the area for 2-3 days at a time, looking at other areas to shoot. Those include Patrick Air Force Base, Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville, Merritt Island Airport, Lone Cabbage Fish Camp in Cocoa, and a Cocoa beach house. Scouts also checked out some swamps and went into the woods. |

In the late 80's and early 90's Takara had produced a few smaller scale versions of popular Japanese characters. The line was called Transformers Jr. From within that line comes today's Featured Ebay Auction. The auction is for a Transformers Jr. 3-Pack With Convoy, Chromedome and Fortress Maximus from seller cccentral.

The official Transformers War for Cybertron site has updated it's character roster! Added to the Autobot side this time are two new additions, Sideswipe and Jetfire! The Decepticon side only gains one new member though, the Decepticon air warrior Thundercracker. Thundercracker remains the slightly conflicted character described in his original tech specs and seen in All Hail Megatron. Meanwhile, Sideswipe's bio stays true to his "I don't break the rules, I bend them... a lot" persona from his Generation 1 portrayal, although Jetfire has undergone some small tweaks. He's now the fastest of all the Autobots, and is also one of their main science guys. His bio implies his backstory tie to Starscream will still be present in some form, though.

We have received an update from the good people at Botcon! Let's get the bad news out of the way first - no, registration is not available today. However, things are looking promising, and in their own words "we will see tomorrow".
On the bright side however, the update also includes information on the Botcon 2010 souvenir T Shirt! The tee features the convention logo on the back, and the Clench VS Spark artwork currently gracing the official Botcon 2010 homepage on the front. Best of all, for the first time ever, you will be able to pre-order your T-Shirts when you pre-register for the convention and collect them when you collect your passes and boxed sets. Could this be a test run that in future years might be expanded to cover all of the at-show souvenir items? |

For the second part of our official Hasbro Transformers images update, we highlight the Transformers Generations and Power Core Combiners sub-series. These new images once again show off the robot and alternate modes, plus in package images, for these cool new sublines running alongside the main Transformers line in 2010. Generations features a mixture of classic characters, such as the Decepticon Thrust, alongside less well known characters from the comics such as newcomer to the mythos Drift, and to top it all off, characters based on the designs from the upcoming War for Cybertron video game. Alongside Generations is the Power Core Combiners series, which places a focus on figure interaction and interchangability, with any Scout & Mini-Con two pack figure, such as Autobot Huffer or Decepticon Smolder capable of forming a torso unit for combining with the drone limbs included with the larger five pack sets, such as Skyburst with Aerialbots.
Check out all of these images by clicking on the title of this story, and be sure to check out the other parts of our coverage for even more new Transformers images. |

2005 Boards member bny888 has spotted the next assortment of Transformers RPMs at retail in the Philippines. This assortment consists of Cyber Hunt Bumblebee, who features what appears to be Cybertronian lettering on his card and a mixed yellow and gray paint job. He is joined by a redeco of RPMs Starscream, plus "Revealer" Ironhide and "Robo Rider" Sideswipe. Ironhide, the first entry in the Revealers series, features Ironhide in vehicle mode with the twist that his vehicle mode panels are absent, showing the folded up robot beneath. Robo Rider Sideswipe likewise is the first entry into the RPMs Robo Riders series, and features a robot mode Sideswipe in a "dashing" pose.

SPOILER ALERT : This article contains plot elements of the 3rd Transformers Live Action Movie.
Shia LaBeouf told The Associated Press that Transformers 3 "brings the heart back to the franchise." He starts working on the third installment on Tuesday. The new script restores a human element that got lost in the second movie, LaBeouf said. "When I saw the second movie, I wasn't impressed with what we did," LaBeouf said at the Cannes Film Festival. "There were some really wild stunts in it, but the heart was gone." Michael Bay returns for the third time as director of the science-fiction franchise, which centers on dueling races of giant robots that bring their war to Earth. The next movie will have what the last one lacked - a sense of human consequences, LaBeouf said. On the second movie, "we got lost. We tried to get bigger. It's what happens to sequels. It's like, how do you top the first one? You've got to go bigger," LaBeouf said. "Mike went so big that it became too big, and I think you lost the anchor of the movie. ... You lost a bit of the relationships. Unless you have those relationships, then the movie doesn't matter. Then it's just a bunch of robots fighting each other." With "Transformers 3," the toll of the robot war will be grave for our planet, LaBeouf said. "There's going to be a lot of death, human death. This time, they're targeting humans," LaBeouf said. "It's going to be the craziest action movie ever made, or we failed." Transformers 3 is coming to theaters on July 1, 2011. |

As you all know, we told you that Kym Whitley mentioned that she will be in Transformers 3. But it was just a Twitter Update at that time. Kym Whitley talked more about her role to BV on Movies.
"I usually don't like mentioning that I am working on 'Transformers' because I was also in 'Transformers 2' and I got cut out," she said. "So I try not to get excited about working on the project until I see the final edit, because you never know what's going to happen." She added that "The real excitement about working on the film just comes from working with [director] Michael Bay. He writes these parts for me and just lets me roll with it. You can't beat that. It's kind of like working with Larry David, when I did 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.' Michael Bay works fast though. He laughs a lot, too. You rarely get someone to just tell you to go ahead and do your thing. That's the beauty of working with him." 'Transformer 3,' which is scheduled for release on July 1, 2011, has a cast that includes Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Dunn, Julie White, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Ken Jeong, and Patrick Dempsey. |

Today's Featured Ebay Auction goes back to the series that really got many fans back into Transformers. It's the series that really jump started TFW2005...Car Robots, which became Robots in Disguise outside of Japan. The auction is for a Sealed God fire Convoy Giftset by seller anglo.
During the run, Takara had released a Toys "R" Us Japan exclusive giftset containing both Fire Convoy (Optimus Prime) and God Magnus (Ultra Magnus). The two could join together to form God Fire Convoy (Omega Prime). What set this giftset apart was the inclusion of the Master Sword as seen in the last episode of the cartoon. Check out more Japanese Transformers. We have mirrored some images which can be seen by clicking the headline of the story. |

TFW2005 Board member kylash327 found some Transformers: Animated Arcee figures with a Satin Matte Finish at Toys”R”Us.
Kylash327 said… “In robot mode a few parts like the knees are still glossy plastic, so it’s definitely comparable. I saw 8 on the pegs this way, so it was not a one off fluke. I noticed no change in the UPC number or any other number on the packaging to indicate a revision however. But the change to the figure itself is very stark. At first I thought they might have done this because it’s a stronger plastic and would solve the stress marks on the thumbs problem, but of course, the hand parts are still cast in glossy plastic...” Checkout the images by clicking the Thumbnail to the left. Remember, Original on left, Matte Variant on the right. |
