CrazyDevy has announced their latest add-on kit. Revisiting Predaking once more, this time they have a pair of oversized cannons for him, based on the larger ones seen in promotional art and Call of the Primitives. At 170mm long, they seem almost too big when standing straight up, although will probably look their most dramatic at a 45 degree angle. They are due in April, and are priced at $29.99.

He is the iconic voice we all know and love. A brilliant man with a wonderful heart… Mr. Peter Cullen.

MTV; who interviewed Roberto Orci, Jeff Kline and Frank Welker had a chance to interview Mr. Cullen himself. Voice of Optimus Prime of Transformers: Prime had wonderful things to share with us.

“It’s going back to relying on the strengths of character, and expressing those traits. The writing is consistent with that of the original series, though in this new version – as in the movies – he has a lot more communication with earthlings, and so he tries to be a little more Earthlike. But 99% , I would say, is like the original Optimus.”

Read this wonderful interview where we get to learn more about Optimus Prime's evolution from G1 to Transformers: Prime at MTV.

MTV had the privilege to talk with the heart and soul behind the Transformers Live Action Movie series; Mr. Michael Bay.

"I think it takes a while to get it right," Bay told MTV News about the creative process on the third "Transformers" film. "We did not want the third one to suck. We worked extra hard."


"We just have, I think, a better story," he said. "It's epic and it happens in a city, so it's more accessible because you recognize stuff; it's not in a desert. It's kind of like 'Black Hawk Down' with our small group of heroes in a city."

The interview is small, that's true. But it's nice to know of the effort went into creating Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Releasing in theaters worldwide on 01/07/2011.

Hey, how's everyone doing? Tonight we've got a bit of a retrospective update for our Transformers Toy galleries - It's a Hunt for the Decepticons themed update, brought to you by 2005 Photo Staff members SydneyY and thenatureboywoo! There's a bit of everything, from photos of the Fury of Bonecrusher set featuring Ironhide and Bonecrusher, to Tomahawk, Axor and Sunspot. It's all rounded off with a look at the Japanese version of Sidearm Sideswipe - which lacks the red flame details and swaps the clear red plastic for a smokey clear plastic for added movie accuracy.

This is a continuation of the previous Michael Bay interview, but requires some singled out attention.

Michael Bay spoke more to MTV later. And he had some big secrets to reveal. If we consider this as "not misinformation"… then we now have the official confirmation of a certain character in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Due to the spoiler-ish nature of the contents… you may read the details after the jump and the entire interview at MTV.

MSN have updated their program guide with the title of episode 10 of Transformers Prime. The tenth episode, slated to air on 03-11-2011, is titled "Deus Ex Machina". What could it mean? The literal meaning of the expression is "god from the machine", a technique used in classical Greco-Roman tragic performances for having a divinity appear and conveniently resolve things in favour of the protagonists. This is probably what is not going to happen, or this would be a very short series! Join in the speculation on this ambiguous title by clicking the discuss button below.


You might also notice that the title of the ninth episode, Convoy, also has a very brief single sentence description summing up the main plot - Assisting Agent Fowler transporting an implosion device.

Mild spoilers concealed for those who'd rather be kept in suspense!

Don't forget that tomorrow sees the return of Transformers Prime with Masters and Students. Be sure to catch it at 6:30 pm EST!

When we first revealed the Amazon listings of Transformers: Dark of the Moon Video Game, many were wondering “Activision is the publisher, but who developed the game?” The answer is now with us thanks to IGN.

High Moon Studios (who developed Transformers: War For Cybertron) is the creative team behind the upcoming Transformers: Dark of the Moon Video Game. Game Director Sean Miller said that the gameplay is similar to WFC and will have a feature called “Stealth Force”.

As mentioned on our Coverage of Hasbro New York Toy Fair 2011 Investor Event, this game will act as a prequel to the Movie Plot.

Further more fans are treated with three images from the game and the first trailer will debut on the Toy Fair itself.
