Check out the images to see them in all their glory.

Sentinel Prime originally called Ultra Magnus

The Transformers Live Action Movie Blog has posted images of a call sheet for filming in Chicago on July 27-28th, 2010 "with" Megatron and Ultra Magnus. Early this year a redacted call sheet was posted online with Magnus listed as a character. While not the same sheet this does further confirm that, for at least a while, the character of Sentinel Prime was going to be called Ultra Magnus. Test screening apparently drove the change from Ultra Magnus to Sentinel Prime. The head of what would have been Ultra Magnus was re-used as what the Apollo 11 astronauts step on and uncover as they explore the ship.

Would Ultra Magnus have been a fitting character? Or did Hasbro have Paramount use a different name as to not tarnish the character in a similar way that Sentinel Prime was used instead of Rodimus in Animated?

Transformers 3 banned in Venezuela?

2005 Board Member Airfox has dropped by some news about Transformers Dark of the Moon showings in Venezuela.

During the last 2 days, ads related to the premiere of Transformers 3 have been dropped from the web pages of Cines Unidos and Cinex. Cinex's spokepersons on Twitter posted a comment stating that the movie has been "Suspended until further notice."

However, this announcement hasn't met the fans demands for information. Fans are clamoring for answers. There have been many rumors regarding the suspension, some think - and this is the hypothesis with the most mentions - that the movie has a plot that includes Venezuela.

Bigbadtoystore.com has put up preorders for a few out of the ordinary Transformers products.

First, are Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Electronic Banks to keep your money in to save up for those all expensive Transformers purchases.


Second, are the recently revealed Japanese Happy Meal Toys! Apparently, Transformers: Prime Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Optimus have scanned some fast food alt modes. You went get delicious nuggets and french fries with these, but you will get some nifty Transformers toys that have a lot of fans remembering the McChangeables line from back in the day.

Transformers 3 Score and Special Edition Rele
 
Originally posted by: ORIO @ TFW2005.com

The Knightshift Blog has posted an e-mail from composer Steve Jablonsky regarding the much anticipated score to Transformers Dark Of The Moon:

As you probably know the score is now up on iTunes. The physical CD situation has been more complicated. I finished the album weeks ago, but we didn't actually finalize it until a few days ago. Michael Bay is really happy with the score and he wanted to check out the album before it went out. As you might imagine, he's a busy dude. He's been flying all over the world promoting TF3, making it difficult to get approval. But I was happy that he wanted to be a part of the soundtrack and I did not want to release anything before he had his say. The record company tells me they need 4-6 weeks to get the album produced and into stores, which would put us into August at this point. A lot of discussion went into this, but the decision was made to wait on the physical CD, and release some kind of special edition alongside the blu-ray release (maybe autographed copies or other goodies, we don't know yet).

I know people are probably disappointed. Believe me I wish I could get physical CD's out there tomorrow. But it's just the way things went this time around. I can see why Paramount would rather not release a score CD almost 2 months after the movie release. To them it makes more sense to do something special around the blu-ray/DVD. I understand that.

So anyone interested in a CD should rest assured that it WILL happen. It just won't happen until later in the year unfortunately.

These big movies are so complex sometimes!! I hope you've been well!

Steve

This does not include international numbers or Thursday US numbers. The film has an estimated production budget of $195 million.

These numbers are still under Revenge of the Fallen stats, but, that could be part of the problem. People still have the ROTF taste in their mouth.

Uniqlo x Transformers brings with it a unique version of Dual Model Kit Optimus Prime, colored in reds and whites and bearing the label "UTF". According to 2005 Boards member Masabon though, it's a special deco Takara-Tomy prepared for Uniqlo and there are no plans to sell it.

That being said, check out the awesome display showing Transformers toys with Uniqlo's line of Transformers branded clothing - just about the only time you're ever going to see the likes of Shockwave holding a Transformers scaled T-shirt!

We've got some new information for you about the Transformers x McDonalds Japanese promotion. Yes, that is truly the name of it!

First of all, seen to the left are the true Transformers Happy Meal toys - an Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from Dark of the Moon.

The ones we have seen previously, and are featured on Takara-Tomy's McDonalds campaign page, are available in a different way. Bumblebee, aka Potato Bumblebee, is a TV Boy Magazine giveaway with the September edition like the clear Cyberverse Bumblebee.
To get Optimus Prime and Bulkhead, aka Burger Optimus and Shake Bulkhead, you go to McDonalds on July 30-31 and buy a Happy Meal. With the Happy Meal you get a "weekend exclusive Special DVD and Mechtech Sheet with red ticket". You then trade the ticket in at a toy store along with the purchase of Transformers Dark of the Moon products for one of Burger Optimus or Shake Bulkhead.

Talk about your complicated exclusive premium toys! Given the exclusive nature of these Japan only Transformers Prime items, the full set is sure to command a premium online in years to come.

Some more Transformers 3 Concept artwork has been posted online! This time out we have the works of Joel Chang and of The Aaron Sims Company.

Joel Chang's work is all about helping to envisage scenes - if you take a look at his portfolio you might recognise a few key scenes in there such as The Ark on the moon, Shockwave's entry, and the Decepticons bursting out of the surface of the moon.

The Aaron Sims Company has a mix of this and of character studies. There are some key scenes involving the Driller in there - mostly ones involving it destroying the skyscraper. There's also some character concepts though, namely a lot of work on the scientist Autobot who would become Que / Wheeljack. These earlier concepts gave him a labcoat look, and one features a monocle! There's also a concept for Brains in there, and some work on the Dreads.

Check them all out by clicking on the links above.

The recent making of Transformers Dark of the Moon special that aired on Hubworld (and will be repeated throughout the coming days) includes a look at the behind the scenes making of Transformers Prime, and a shocking couple of lines of dialogue which strongly imply that a part of the Optimus Prime and Megatron backstory, as told in Transformers Exodus, will be coming to Transformers Prime. The lines in question are blacked out below - highlight them if you want to be spoiled on this plot twist:

JACK: Megatron was an Autobot?!
MIKO: Optimus was a 'CON?!?!


This should be good news for all of you yearning for more character development for Optimus Prime on Transformers Prime.

The opening weekend has been nearly $90 Million more profitable than the opening weekends of the first live-action movie ($70,502,384), and little over $54 million more profitable than Revenge of the Fallen's ($108,966,307.)

Could we see this movie break the $1 Billion Barrier?

A pair of new auctions have popped up via CDSW on Taobao, showing off some previously unseen Transformers toys. First up is a look at an orange version of Roadbuster - based on the concept artwork or one of the cars Dale Jr drove last year, perhaps? The second is a look at the Deluxe Optimus Prime with gold flames and the Voyager Class MechTech weapon - which looks even more comically oversized than the usual MechTech weapons. It's probably an exclusive of some sort because of this fact, although no official confirmation has been on given on either yet. Keep it TFW for more information on these and other Transformers Dark of the Moon toys as it becomes available.
