The embargo has been lifted on the recently (actually… accidentally) revealed Transformers: Dark of the Moon Prequel Video Game Images and Information.

We are now allowed to show and tell you what the invited game magazine reporters experienced, during their hands-on preview of Transformers 3 game by Activision and High Moon Studios.

New articles by Metro, Gamespot and Virgin Media now joins the previous article by eGamer. Mind you, few character names from the upcoming movie are revealed including Mirage and his abilities. Here’s a spoiler warning for you… and off you go to read...

Our Transformers Toy Galleries have been updated! 2005 Boards photo staff member SydneyY has uploaded a new gallery for our Transformers Animated Toy Galleries - this time, we've got a gallery of Animated Elite Guard Optimus Prime for you. This piece was a Million Publishing mail-in exclusive, available by sending in a coupon found in the Japanese Transformers Animated Encyclopaedia book. The toy represents a what-if situation where Optimus Prime had stayed on and joined the Elite Guard instead of taking command of that fateful Spacebridge repair crew - and looks very sharp in red and black.

If you are one of the lucky people to have a chat with Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda (via LPU Chat yesterday), then you’d know what he told us about Transformers: Dark of the Moon Linkin Park Single Iridescent.

• The number one thing he told the fans was that, the band will be performing the song during the Russian Premiere of Transformers 3.
• The music from Iridescent was transposed and used in the 3rd movie as a part of the score. (If this writer is correct, then the music we hear from 02:05 to 02:43 on the LPTV - Linkin Park and Transformers 3 First Look video might just be the said score track).
• Iridescent was used partly because the fans loved it and because of the fact when Michael Bay heard it he was pleased and said the song fits perfectly with the plot of the movie.
• When doing the music video, Mike was nervous because of Trevor; the Jungle Carpet Python (Morelia spilota cheynei). Also had to work with Ball Pythons (Python regius. Named because of the shape it takes when curled-up).
• While wearing the “King” costume, Mr. Shinoda felt as though he was in some sort of weird “Mad Max” thing.

Well, that’s it from TFW2005. Stay tuned with us as we bring you the release of Linkin Park Transformers: Dark of the Moon Iridescent Official Music Video… Soon.

Perfect Effect's Blog has been updated with some images of their next release, PE-03 and PE-04. That's right, Perfect Effect is backtracking to cover those two earlier numbers they skipped, and now you can see the reason why, because these two will be unofficial third party custom takes on Laserbeak and Buzzsaw. They are recolors of the previous Perfect Effect releases, The Sun and The Night.

Excellent, yessssssss!

David Kaye has posted on his twitter account that he will be appearing at Botcon 2011 as a guest. In his post he mentions that he will be at the convention on Friday June 3 from 1 to about 4. David Kaye is the extremely talented voice actor who brought Beast Wars Megatron, one of the most magnificently evil Megatrons ever, to life. He also voiced Megatron in Armada, Energon and Cybertron, before switching to the Autobots to voice Optimus Prime (plus Grimlock and Lugnut) in Transformers Animated. David Kaye is a first-class actor and all-round great guy to meet, so if you've not had the pleasure of meeting him before, and you're at Botcon 2011, be sure to take this opportunity to meet him.

UPDATE: Botcon has also tweeted to confirm that David Kaye will be attending for "autographs and a very special panel. Details coming later!"

More Botcon 2011 guest news for you! This time out we have word that the legendary Flint Dille will be attending. Flint Dille is, to put it plainly, to the Transformers cartoon what Bob Budiansky is to the Marvel comics run. He is credited as executive script consultant for the whole series, and wrote the Five Faces of Darkness story arc that kicked off season 3 as well as the episode Prime Target which gave us Lord Chumley. He is also credited as a story consultant for the 1986 animated movie. And that is not even beginning to get into his many and numerous pieces of work outside of Transformers. A chance to meet one of the people responsible for a large part of the franchise that we love does not come along everyday - but you will have a chance to meet the man himself at Botcon 2011.

We have a report from 2005 Boards member Sidecutter that a new case of Reveal the Shield Scouts - sans Windchargers - has been found in a Walmart in Louisville, KY. On the pegs were a pair of Chopsaws, together with the other toys in the case, in the correct numbers to be the Windcharger case. Windcharger himself was absent though.

Take this report with a pinch of salt of course, because it is possible this is someone purchasing the entire case online, then returning the rest of the toys to Walmart to recoup costs. Although, as Sidecutter himself points out, "the idea that someone returning ten other toys, with numerous duplicates and no receipt, wouldn't raise some eyebrows even at Walmart doesn't really seem plausible. Also, it wouldn't help the person doing it much, at $5 a figure."

Of course, with mere days remaining until Dark of the Moon is unleashed upon the world, it is questionable just how plentiful these toys will actually be at retail - if this isn't a return.

With the impending launch of the new Transformers Dark of the Moon toyline, we thought that now might be a good time to share with you this look at some of the Movie toys from the past Movie universe related lines. Our photo staff have been hard at work filling in some of the gaps in our Transformers Toy Galleries so here for your enjoyment are:

Human Alliance Bumblebee by SydneyY - he's been in every Human Alliance assortment so far and he's a great, if overexposed toy. Check out this gallery to see him at his best!

Hunt for the Decepticons Terradive, also by SydneyY - I hear this guy is warming shelves in some stores. This is a great pity because as a toy he rocks! Check out this gallery to see why you should give one a spot in your collection.

Hunt for the Decepticons Sidearm Sideswipe by TFareCool - the swordbot turns gunslinger with this version of the character. He's also pretty sharp with his flame deco - check out the pictures!

Power Core Combiners Icepick with Chainclaw by thenatureboywoo - since evidently Icepick here is the same character as the upcoming Human Alliance Basic release (according to the bio), it makes sense to feature this fun and quirky figure here. Weird arms are all part of his charm, check out the gallery and see for yourself why this toy is so enjoyable!
