Wow, busy week for news folks! Hot on the heels of the Dark of the Moon Superbowl Trailer came our first look at Transformers Prime's toyline even as the show returned to television. With this came a flood of reviews video and regular of Transformers Dark of the Moon toys, and then the US Toy Fair hit. A vast amount of information came out of Toy Fair, so vast that we'll do a separate update later on. But of interest is that the Optimus Prime truck, whose arrival heralded the start of Toy Fair 2011, later received a parking ticket - D'oh!

Wave 3 of the Transformers Stealth Force Deluxe assortment has been released at United States retail, with a sighting of the wave at the Walmart in Elgin, Illinois. The assortment features one new figure, Big Hoss, along with the previously released Megatron. Buyer beware...the item does not ring up in Walmart computers, much like the recently released Stealth Force Basic Leadfoot figure.

After their press announcement, Activision has updated the game Facebook Page with what is likely to be the Official Poster for the Transformers: Dark of the Moon Video Game.

Shockwave is featured on the poster and it is said that he is the main villain of the third (and what is considered as the final) Michael Bay Transformers movie.

The game will act as a prequel to the movie rather than an adaptation of the movie’s story, unlike previous movie games. Developed by High Moon Studios who created War For Cybertron, the game is slated to release in June 14th, 2011.

Both Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Tyrese Gibson spoke about the upcoming Transformers: Dark of the Moon on separate interviews.

Although not much was revealed, Rosie’s interview had an interesting tidbit.

"We were told it was for a 'nemesis' role and I left thinking I was awful. The next day I was offered the lead!"

Tyrese talked about the process went into the creation of the third movie.

“It's in 3-D, and this is the first time we're doing [a 'Transformers' movie] in 3-D," he said. "In the first two, we were messing around and playing around, trying to figure out the niche and the energy and the synergy. Michael Bay has gone on the record, as has Shia, the star of the movie, and they've said, 'Listen: we've really figured it out this time. This is the biggest and best 'Transformers' movie of all of them.”

You can read the interviews at MTV and TotalFilm.

Remember Optimus Prime parked near New York Toy Fair 2011? Movieweb is announcing that he has received a $115 Parking Ticket. Optimus, you can't getaway just by saying "My Bad!" this time.

We've been sitting on this story all day waiting for more solid developments to come about, but we've decided to go ahead and post up what we do know about this situation. As a previous update from Brian Ward stated via his Twitter account, he was hard at work on a Beast Wars DVD release. After that initial post, he started up with some interesting hints about another project he was working on:

"Big news re: BEAST WARS yesterday. But that's just one of MANY titles I'm excited to be working on. Anyone speak Japanese? #NotReallyAsking"

"Looking for bonus feature material re: TRANSFORMERS TAKARA COLLECTION. Commercials, etc. Got anything? #DoesntMeanImWorkingOnIt #YesItDoes"

And finally, the last bit of information which has many people believing this is all but confirmed:

"Working hard on the upcoming BEAST WARS and TAKARA COLLECTION sets. But can this really be considered work?"

Some of you may remember when we had the original Transformers animated movie re-released a few years back, it included Scramble City, but with all the audio removed and featured audio commentary instead. The reason the audio was removed was because of copyright issues and royalty issues with using the original Japanese audio. That same logic was behind the idea that we would NEVER see a release of the Takara shows here in the United States.

Are we indeed getting some Takara Transformers on DVD here in the United States? And if so, are we getting original Japanese audio? Subtitles? Surely this revelation brings up more questions than even Brian Ward can possibly answer right now, but stay tuned!

Special thanks to TVShowsonDVD.com for the information compiling.

Thanks to Collider, we have some pics of Mr. Michael Bay; the director of Transformers Live Action Movie Series and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley visiting the Hasbro Transformers Booth at New York Toy Fair 2011.

With the pics we can get a clear example of Ultimate Optimus Prime's size.

On our Hasbro Toy Fair Investor Event Coverage, we found out that Bay is to visit the Toy Fair to promote Transformers: Dark of the Moon. It seems as though he brought Carly along with him.

You’ll meet Ultimate Optimus Prime on shelves worldwide May 16th, 2011.

Transformers 3 is hitting theaters on 1st of July, 2011.

The Botcon Twitter has updated with the reveal of Botcon 2011 Wildrider... sort of.

Thurs Stunticon reveal. Wildrider. Mold. LOCKDOWN. Amazing NEW head design by @DerrickJWyatt. That plus color scheme makes him look tot dif.

So while we do not know what Wildrider will look like (yet!) we do know that he'll be a remold of Lockdown with a new head and new colors to make him his own toy. Will the hands be remolded as well to fix the annoying issue from every other release of Lockdown, though? Will he come with the hook, or the chainsaw attachments? Check back on Thursday this week when Wildrider is unveiled to find out!

Here's some interesting thoughts for the day ahead, courtesy of Derrick Wyatt and Botcon's Twitter feeds:

Botcon tweeted -

Just to be CRYSTAL clear. There are ONLY 5 Stunticons. This isn't TMNT. Well, okay, it is cause there is a femme, but we don't add/subtract.

And Derrick Wyatt later posted a clarification -

@BotCon Technically there are SIX members in Motormaster's Stunt Convoy. I suppose if they are all truly Stunticons or not is debatable.

The clue here seems to be that there may be SIX figures in the Botcon 2011 Box set (possibly because of the fact that the set is mostly Deluxe class toys so far?) The sixth member however will not be a Stunticon, but will be a member of Motormaster's team.

(My personal guess is it's the little black car that makes up Generation 1 Menasor's chest rendered in Transformers Animated style)

Amazon Japan has updated their preorder pages for the next - and to date, last - assortment of Transformers United. This assortment adds Scourge, Frenzy & Rumble, Wheeljack and Generation 2 Optimus Prime to the mix. There's some pretty noticable differences from the US versions seen so far - Scourge sports metallic blue paint, and Wheeljack's green paint is nice and shiny (his white is probably whiter too). Rumble & Frenzy we've seen before, but the real gem of the assortment is Generation 2 Optimus Prime, who drops the blue on the cab and who swaps out the transparent orange plastic for transparent blue - giving him a totally unique look all of his own.

Read on to check out our mirror of all the images.
