BTS Toys have released some early images of a custom Not-Ravage cassette-con to go with their Sonicron not-Soundwave. This version of Ravage sticks fairly close in style to the original Ravage, going by these initial images - it just seems to feature some slightly more advanced design work. Check out the images of this first cassette-con from BTS Toys - we are informed there are others in the works included a Laserbeak, because where would Soundwave be without Laserbeak and Ravage?
Please note that these are only pictures of a proposed design in an early phase and may not materialize into an actual release. |

The official Sci-Fi Revoltech site has updated with more official images of Sci-Fi Revoltech Movie Optimus Prime. These latest images show just how awesome this release is looking with a killer deco and lots of different ways of combining and attaching the accessory parts. The height of the figure is also confirmed at 140mm - about 6 inches. Check the out by clicking on the link above or reading on for our mirror.

Information is reaching us from various online retailers of a new redeco of the Disney Label Mickey Mouse toy. So far we've had an Optimus Prime version, a halloween version, and a monochromatic version based on "Steamship Willy"... what's missing? How about a Mickey Mouse Transformer colored in traditional Mickey Mouse colors! Yes, it's been a bit of a wait since the original version, but if you want the Mouse in his traditional deco, this is the release for you. The truck mode also looks very sharp with a black cab and a red trailer.
Preorder online now at our sponsors TFSource! Thanks to FMH for the original heads-up. |

Thanks to Comics Continuum, we now have a preview of the upcoming Transformers #21 from IDW. This is the first issue that starts the "Chaos" event, and also starts the bi-weekly format for the comics series.
IDW describes the upcoming issue: "Transformers goes bi-weekly! Two stories for the price of one, kicking off the 'Chaos' event!! In part one, Rodimus makes his triumphant return to Earth, and sets off the major events that will spin off into Chaos. And in part two, Prowl begins his investigation...of Spike. This storyline will change Transformers forever!" |

Thanks to a recent posting over at HK-TF, we now have an in-depth gallery of the upcoming Ultimate Optimus Prime. Including size-comparisons with the FansProject Crossfire set, as well as transformation photos showing off the combination itself.
EDIT: Keep an eye on your local stores, as the toy has begun making it's way to retail! TFW user Dah Padre has found and purchased the toy at a K-Mart in Chicago. Is the toy out in your area? If so, please be sure to be a total bro to your fellow collectors and share your finds with others in the TFW sightings forum! |

TFSource recently posted on Facebook to let everyone know that they have received word from FansProject that the CA-03 Thundershred - aka the unofficial custom version of Insecticon Shrapnel, re-imagined as a ninja - will begin shipping out to them and other retailers this week, and barring any delays should be instock next week. This is good news for all who have preordered, because barring any delays these guys should be making their way into the hands of fans in about two weeks time!

According to Showbizspy, Jason Statham may be taking over as the lead actor in the next Transformers Movie. Coincidentally enough, he is also dating Rosie Huntington Whitely, who was in the recent movie:
“One of the stars being mentioned is Rosie’s boyfriend Jason Statham,” says a Hollywood insider. “It’s clear the franchise still has huge potential but with a new leading man capable of taking Transformers in a new, darker direction. Jason could be just the man to do that and his relationship with Rosie would be an added bonus in marketing the movie.” Darker direction? Do you think Statham has what it takes to step in Shia Labeouf's shoes? |

The home-formats release of Transformers Dark of the Moon may include a hefty amount of cut footage, according to a recent interview with the stars posted on MTV.com. In the interview, it is mentioned how there are "hours and hours" of the cast riffing and ad-libbing bits of scenes, much of which evidently did not get included in the final cut. One such scene, involving Jon Malkowich, is described in the article,
"It was just a little tiny thing where I go back to Rosie after I leave the apartment and try to get her number," Malkovich explained. "That's the kind of thing that could be true to the character and could not be true to the character — hard to say — but is utterly superfluous to the forward movement of the film." It's unlikely there are any robot scenes among the cut footage though - given the expense of making and animating scenes, it's hard to imagine any of it being cut out completely. |

Don Murphy has posted via his own personal forums regarding the future of the Transformers movies:
"What happens next? Certainly not a reboot. We haven't lost the Transformers. They didn't grow up or become expensive like Toby Maguire. I don't know what happens next. I'm pretty sure there will be a second trilogy. I am pretty sure it will kick ass. And I am pretty sure some of you will hate it because it wasn't all bots." |
