Nelson of Shoot For The Edit has contacted Mr. Michael Bay, a couple of days ago and foundout the Mr. Bay got the permission to film Transformers 3 at the National Mall of Washington.
Many TFW2005 members did express their confidence in Michael Bay, to ultimately obtain the permission. With it, the previously announced “Car Race” scene is good to go. |

Word is that the Transformers Club exclusive Shattered Glass Cyclonus and Punch-Counterpunch are making their way to some homes. To some of you who have already had the pleasure of receiving these packages, this will be old news.
To those who have yet to receive their toys, or were unfortunate enough to miss out completely, you can look at this box art to try to fill that empty hole inside your heart. |

Nightwish2 of TaoBao has posted an auction for a boxed Banzaitron from the Hunt For The Decepticons line. The packaging for this voyager figure is minimalist compared to previous releases. The back of the package just shows the figure and highlights the gimmick.

Michael Bay’s official website; Shoot For The Edit, posted two articles from Chicago Sun-Times and from the Chicago Tribune, letting us know that Transformers 3 is bringing $20 million and 200 jobs to Chicago. This happy news is capped with the fact that Mayor Daley blessed the Transformers 3 project and welcomes the “Bayhem” with open arms. Transformers 3 is certain to include even more scenes of death and destruction on the streets of Chicago.
“You’re gonna see a little bit of mayhem. You know, I mean it wouldn’t be ‘Transformers’ without it,” Di Bonaventura said. “Hopefully, it’ll be fun. What we find is, people really end up enjoying the spectacle of what we’re doing.” Di Bonaventura said they were still selecting specific sites to film, but would “be shooting a lot in downtown.” The jobs generated by the Transformers project will include 10 internships for South and West side high school students. |

Various auto blogs including Jalopnik and Corvette Blogger are reporting that a new version of the Corvette Stingray concept was sighted in Beverly Hills California with pictures to back it up. There are some more subtle differences than just being a convertible, though - the hood is different, with dual openings in the front, there are no LED vertical headlights. There are also different wheels and a different front grille.
It is possible that this has nothing to do with Transformers 3 and is just someone's own customized Corvette, in which case, we congratulate the owner on having a cool ride. But with Transformers 3 in production, this could be a teasing first look at the return of Sideswipe and his new upgrade to go alongside the newly convertible Bumblebee. So for now, file this under "rumors" and watch this space for more information! |

Cybertron Philippines will be partnering with Toy Kingdom and SM Makati to launch the Transformers Autobot Alliance event this coming June 19 to June 22, 2010! This event will officially launch the Generations, Hunt for the Decepticons and Power Core Combiners in the Philippines, and there will be a raffle for special prizes, including Alternity Ultra Magnus, and also a special two pack of crystal versions of Classics deluxe Optimus Prime and Rodimus! This set is not the same as the Sons of Cybertron set previously mentioned in our coverage of the Japanese Hobby magazines, indicating that in fact there are going to be two sets of crystal Optimus and Rodimus toys - one using their Animated deluxe class toys, and this one using their Classics deluxe class toys.
Many thanks to firstpredacon of Cybertron Philippines for sharing this exciting new information with us! Click on the title of this story to check out the images! |

KOtoys has also posted a new gallery of the main line Scout Breacher. Breacher is a part of the Hunt for the Decepticons sub series and the partner to the Voyager Class Autobot Sea Spray. Critics of the Movie series aesthetic might be pleased to note that Breacher features a much more traditional look in his design than the other Movie series Transformers and will look just as at home on your Classics or Universe shelves as on your Movie shelf. Check out all the images by clicking on the title of this story.
