Another new sighting from Target! This time it's the Target exclusive Cyberverse two packs. One pack we've seen before, it contains Commander Class Megatron (in an apparent Motormaster homage deco) and Legion Class Bumblebee. The other pack is new to us and features a slightly redecoed Commander Class Ironhide and Legion class Leadfoot. These were found at the Newington, CT Target store.

Leilei111 of ACTOYS has posted images of Dual Model Kit Bumblebee. The images show the progression, from the initial build, to completion of the kit. Once completed, the figure is about the size of a deluxe figure.

We've mirrored some of the images here, which you can check out after the jump!

Here is a news that slipped the radar for a week. With all the BotCon 2011 happenings and Movie News, this new info was left undetected, but Hasbro did inform us of the pre-sale on the same day this news was posted on their official website.

It seems as though that Hasbro is launching a campaign for their Kre-O toyline.

FULL KRE-O.COM WEBSITE LAUNCHES JULY 1, 2011!

KRE-O brings quality and innovation to the construction aisle. Each KRE-O TRANSFORMERS set is ‘MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE,’ with two types of builds: create a robot and then disassemble to build a vehicle, disassemble the vehicle to build a robot. Packed with play, most sets come complete with themed accessories and a poseable KREON mini figure in robot or human form.

Speaking of Kre-O, we found a new Trademark registered by Hasbro at United States Patent and Trademark Office. Not sure if this has anything to do with Kre-O, but the name sure sounds about right.

Kriya
Description: Entertainment services, namely, the production and distribution of motion pictures, ongoing television programs and animated television series; entertainment and educational services, namely, ongoing programs in the field of children's entertainment accessible by television, satellites, radio, audio, video, electronic media and computer networks; entertainment services, namely, providing online computer games and interactive multiplayer online games via global networks.

Is this a new Hub TV program based on Kre-O?

Some more Transformers Kre-Os have been found at retail! Two separate sightings confirm the release of Basic Optimus Prime, Autobot Jazz, Autobot Ratchet and Sideswipe. 2005 Boards member raiden225005 picked up Optimus and Jazz from a San Antonio TX Toys R Us, while 2005 Boards staff member Shin Densetsu found Ratchet and Sideswipe chilling on shelves with the other previously released Kre-Os at his local Toys R Us. For those keeping score, that's a confirmed release on all known Kre-O sets to date with the exception of the Sentinel Prime set.

There is this one scene on the latest TV Spot which you all will recognize as the scene from the Transformers: Dark of the Moon Official Poster.

Artist Direct has reviewed Transformers: Dark of the Moon Soundtrack, which will be available from tomorrow (14/06/2011).

"Traditionally, the soundtrack to a Transformers film proves just as explosive and entrancing as the movie itself.

The soundtrack for Transformers: Dark of the Moon proudly upholds that tradition—like any robust Autobot—but it's also the best in the series so far. Each and every song displays an evolutionary heaviness that would be right at home on Optimus Prime's personal playlist."

You can checkout the rest of the review at Artist Direct.

Wow! Artist Direct honored us by using the Album Art with TFW2005 Watermark on their review. Thanks guys!

Well then, ladies and gentlemen, this is it. We commented yesterday on how all but one Kre-O set had already been released ahead of their July 1st official launch date, and as if that statement were tempting fate, the final set appeared in stores today. 2005 Boards member raiden225005 made the sighting once again, this time of Kre-O Sentinel Prime. Once again the purchase came from a Toys R Us store - if you want some Kre-O, right now TRU seems to be the only place worth checking.
