Part 2 of The Allspark's interview with the great Simon Furman is now online! Furman shares more of his ideas on reviving the original Marvel Comics Transformers series. If you support the notion of a revival be sure to sign the online petition!

Here are some highlights from the interview:

- The reason Optimus is oblivious to the "big army of pissed off Decepticons massing" is because he's so shaken by his own death.
- The carnage on Earth "makes All Hail Megatron look like the teddy bears’ picnic"
- Return of Bludgeon, Galvatron, Megatron, Soundwave, Prowl, Grimlock
- Characters killed by the end of #80 are still dead
- Subplots: Grimlock goes off the rails trying to cure his Action Master condition. What happened to Scorponok's original head? What is the fate of Spike/Fort Max? What happened to the likes of Circuit Breaker and GB Blackrock?
- Sticking to US continuity, BUT wants to bring Ultra Magnus into it and possibly The Wreckers
- Simon envisions the characters close to their original 1980's G1 forms, but with Cybertronian alt modes

Props to forum member Might Gaine for the summary.

Stop on by the Allspark to read the whole interview, and do not forget to sign the petition if you have not done so already!

Few weeks back Nelson; Admin of Michael Bay Official Website answered a fan question here on our Movie Forums, stating that Tranformers: Dark Of The Moon only got several weeks remaining till the completion. He mentioned that only Sound Mixing is remaining and it is going on well. Furthermore he stated that the entire movie will be completed early this June.

Today, the Official Twitter Account of S4TE updated with 3 tweets from three languages mentioning “It is Done”.

This can only mean the completion of the movie. Copies will be handed over to theaters around the world and we are but 3 weeks away from the release.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon hitting theaters 29th June, 2011.

A quick update for those excited for the Kre-O line after it's showing at Botcon 2011 - they're out! Along with the Optimus Prime sighting yesterday, we've got confirmed purchases of the Megatron and DX Bumblebee sets, and reports that on the shelves at the same Toys R Us were Prowl, Mirage, and Basic Bumblebee. These were all spotted at the Frederick, MD Toys R Us by 2005 Boards member Sideswipe1954.

LU of HK TF, aka Lushkwok of our 2005 Boards, has shared some in hand images of the Target exclusive Human Alliance Leadfoot on Flickr. There is some great stuff in these crisp new images of this exclusive rendition of the Target Sponsored Chevy Impala - for example, his sunglasses can flip up and down, and Steeljaw, his pet dog, is one versatile little sidekick, not only becoming a missile launcher but also a mace and a flail. We've mirrored a selection of the best images - to check out the whole set and much, much more, head on over to the Lu_awaken photostream!

An interesting final note, pointed out by Deceptigtar - this version lacks the Target logo seen on the version on display at Botcon. Could this be indicative of a non-logoed general release, or possibly, an international release in a location without Target stores?

Last week was Botcon, and with it came a whole lot of Botcon news - as rounded up here by Super_Megatron. Beyond Botcon though the gears were still turning, new toys were found and other new toys were announced or discovered - and if you heard an excited cheer from up north in Canada, that would have been Protoman reacting to the news of Masterpiece Rodimus Prime's US release. Meanwhile it seems that Mirage was not the only Dark of the Moon Transformers to be having an identity crisis - "Et Que, Wheeljack"? All this, and apparently the "Mirage" Ferrari is actually named after Dino from Flintstones. Yeah. Okay.
