Hasbro have relaunched Transformers.com in grand style for Dark of the Moon. The site is now reworked in silvers and blues, with a starscape background which is a refreshing change from the previous deco.

Of note on the new look Transformers.com:

The official Vector Sigma Database - This database covers every character to appear in the Movie universe, including characters from the previous two films. It's very impressive and features pretty much the entire cast of the movie universe. A major revelation awaits on Soundwave's page - he is confirmed to be the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG! No more hanging around in orbit for him! A prototype of a MechTech weapon is shown on his page, indicating a MechTech toy is in development for him.

Shockwave's page is also of interest. There's massive spoilers about the big villain of Dark of the Moon on that page - massive, moon sized spoilers! Read at your own risk.

Other notable Decepticons are Hatchet, who is confirmed to be one of the Dreads, though he and Crowbar are represented by toy images.

A new character on the Autobot side is also revealed, named Steeljaw. Again though he appears to be represented by a toy image, his bio indicates he is the Wrecker's pet. Make of that what you will. One very nice addition in there - Leadfoot's page confirms he is getting a Human Alliance class toy! Steeljaw will come with Human Alliance Leadfoot - he transforms into Leadfoot's armcannon.

The Vector Sigma Database also contains a full glossary and timeline of the movie universe. The timeline only goes as far as Revenge of the Fallen, though. All in all, it is a great primer for the Movie universe.

The update also comes with new toys! Lots and lots of new toys are on the site. Here's a few of the most notable new additions, all complete with official images and bios:

Cyberverse Crowbar
Cyberverse Leadfoot
Cyberverse Bolt Bumblebee
Cyberverse Powerglide

Stealth Force Mini Changers Bumblebee and Sentinel Prime
