HK-TF.com users lowbcousin and jinxm have shared some images of the Million Publishing Exclusive Elite Guard Optimus Prime! This version of Optimus Prime from Transformers Animated is a "what if" version of Optimus Prime - what if, instead of getting kicked out of the Elite Guard, Optimus Prime had carried on and joined the illustrious unit? Check out the images to see how the team in charge of designing this cool redeco envisaged that possibility.

What a week for Transformers news it has been! Not only have the first promotional CGI renders of Dark of the Moon been shown off in Empire Magazine, but the first Dark of the Moon toy - a Movie Preview Cyberverse Optimus Prime - was released at US retail! Dark of the Moon toys made up the bulk of the rest of the news of the week, although don't count Generations out yet, either, and there was some very satisfying news on the Transformers Prime front, as a soundtrack got confirmed, and the titles of the next few episodes got revealed. Oh, and the Reveal the Shield Voyagers finally made their debut at US retail. Now everyone can bask in the glory that is Lugnut! All this and a very cool JAM Project live concert version of Transformers EVO, the theme song to the Japanese rendition of Transformers Animated.

When we brought you the news of Transformers 3 Optimus Prime Cyberverse Limited Edition Preview Pack Official Reveal, we told you that there is a possibility of Hasbro Official Transformers Toy Website Update arriving sooner than expected.

TFW2005 Boards Member fallen_revenge informed us that the site has been updated with an advertisement letting us know, what we said was true.

We can assume that the new update will happen on the same day the figure is suppose to release (or sooner). Put on the glasses coming with the toy (releasing 2011/03/16) and enjoy!

Whoa! A never-before-seen-or-heard toy from the Transformers: Dark of the Moon toyline has emerged over at ACToys.

It’s hard to tell whether this Bumblebee figure is a custom or an actual real deal. At the moment we can give the benefit of the doubt as an official toy due to the authentic look it carries.

Take a look at the mirrored images after the jump.

“Megatron's plan enters its second stage as the Autobots continue to fall under attack from heavily armed humans. Elsewhere, Starscream attempts to initiate a plan of his own with an old ally. Costa and Milne aren't bringing everyone out of this issue in one piece as the REVENGE OF THE DECEPTICONS continues!”

We are getting our first look at Transformers: Dark of the Moon Leader Class Sentinel Prime and Bumblebee In-Package images thanks to RedMercury.co.jp.

Though both figures are of the same class… Bumblebee’s Conversion Difficulty is “2” (“Intermediate”) while Sentinel Prime is of the highest difficulty which is “3” (“Advanced”).

First we heard a rumor about an upcoming “Buzzard” toy for Transformers: Dark of the Moon thanks to a Walmart listing.

Then on the Transformers 3 Superbowl TVSpot we saw a dragon like Decepticon bird.

Still to this very day, many Transformers fans are speculating who this mysterious robot bird is.

Today, thanks to Taobao auctions, we are taking a look at the possible Toy version of the said robot.

The description by the auctioneer calls the toy “Laserbeak”. Just to make matters more interesting, the toy color scheme is similar to the original G1 Laserbeak toy (with matching blasters/guns) as well.

What do you think? Will Laserbeak make his Live Action Movie debut?

Alfes2000's blog gives us two galleries for Japan Million Publishing's Animated Elite Guard Optimus Prime. Sporting a new gold, black and red deco, it is based on the Voyager Animated Optimus Prime figure but sadly does not sport the Wingblade upgrade. Click above to view the gallery including images alongside his EZ Collection iteration.

Kmart.com have updated with a quartet of Transformers Dark of the Moon listings. While there is nothing sensational about this, what is noteworthy is that the listings come with new, non-photoshopped official pictures of Dark of the Moon Deluxe Crankcase, Bumblebee and Autobot Ratchet, along with Voyager Ironhide. That's not all. The listings for the three Deluxes come with their bios! We've seen Crankcase's already, although we'll include it here for completeness. What's new is we have Bumblebee and Ratchet's bios! They are relatively spoiler free, so read on in confidence that the packaging bio will not spoil your experience with Dark of the Moon.

JustiToys have updated their website with a very cryptic page, showing some sketches of a new custom Snarl toy, with the text "Project 2011 - Update Soon". The sharp eyed among our members have noted this is potentially the Hybrid Scale Snarl originally teased back in 2009. Whether it is indeed this finally moving forward, or something more, the implication is JustiToys are revisiting their first custom Transformer item, with a fully detailed (and articulated) update of the classic design.

As always, stay tuned for more information.
