Amazon's German site has put up a listing for a new packaging variant for Transformers Dark of the Moon. This two-disc Blu Ray special edition is what we've been waiting to hear about - packaging that transforms, in the style of Optimus Prime for 2007 and Bumblebee for Revenge of the Fallen. Dark of the Moon's transforming packaging is based on Megatron, and looks pretty sharp in these mockups. Early indications suggest it is a reuse of the Megatron packaging from the first movie.

It is not confirmed for the rest of the world - yet - but we expect this will be available in a matter of time to Transformers fans everywhere.

TFC Toys have released even more pictures of the fourth Hercules member, Dr Crank. The good doctor is here shown as a pure prototype test shot in garish pink and green, but it gives a good idea of which bits might end up in clear plastic (the seafoam green bits). Check out the original images and then sound off on your thoughts on this latest bit of information on this custom project.

Transformers has been known not only for the cool toys that the media advertises, but also the officially licensed merchandise produced as well. TFW2005.com board member RisingPhoenix86 shares such an instance with us found at JCPenney's. Two sets of Transformers: Dark of the Moon clocks, one featuring Optimus Prime and the other featuring Bumblebee, are available for purchase at $28 either at your local JCPenney's store or by ordering via their website.

Each set features both a clock and a digital watch that transforms (!) stored in a tin carrying case. These novelty items even point back to the early Generation One days with the transforming watches, as they are very akin to the mail-away exclusive G1 Time Warrior and the Watchbots (which was an attempt by Takara to market their Kronoform line).

You can view the photos of these new
Transformers: Dark of the Moon clocks taken at the JCPenney's store as well as the product photos after the jump!

Here is a bit of an oddity for you - Bumblebee from Transformers Prime has made an appearance at Walmart as a store display. This was spotted in the Halloween section of a Walmart visited by 2005 boards member kylash327, peeking out from between Halloween costumes. There was no Transformers Prime merchandise to be found.

Could this portend to a larger push for Transformers Prime from Walmart in the coming months, possibly to launch the "first edition" Transformers Prime toys? Regardless, it is a really cool looking bit of display - read on and check out kylash's pic!

We've got a pair of awesome new Transformers galleries for you today! War for Cybertron Optimus Prime and Megatron are some awesome, fun toys - and both received black repaints during the summer. The Tokyo Toy Show exclusive set of these black repaints, the Darkside set, is the subject of todays gallery. Darkside Optimus Prime in this set rocks the Robots in Disguise Scourge colors, while Darkside Megatron sports a deco inspired by Animated Shadow Blade Megatron or possibly his latest IDW comics design. Either way, the deco rocks and brings out the full menace of Megatron.

It falls to us now to report the sad passing of an animation legend. Earl Kress, who wrote for many cartoons including the original Generation 1 Transformers, giving us such classic episodes as Desertion of the Dinobots, has passed away aged 60. His other notable credits from his long and varied career include writing on Pinky and the Brain, for which he won two Emmys and writing the last ever Road Runner theatrical short, titled Little Go Beep. Read a full obituary at News From Me.

Some new images of the Junkion Blacksmith Devastator add-on kit have been posted over at ACToys. These new images are clearly of a very early version of the kit, lacking a lot of final details. They do give an idea of the scale of the kit, which will feature big chunky forums and upper legs to make Generation 1 Devastator look a bit more powerful. Surprisingly though there's no parts included to alter the shoulder connections, leaving the arms looking very stiff by comparison.

Junkion Blacksmith have also released a piece of art through their Weibo account, which gives the name of the set: Power of Destruction.

Some new images of Maketoy's Bomber and Hover - their unlicensed custom figures of Powerglide and Seaspray - have been posted on ACToys by ACToys member metalfatigue. These new images show the pair in hand, in all their glory. They take the classic Generation 1 look and give it a direct update in style with a bit more articulation, for better or for worse. What is of most interest is that the instruction sheet for the pair is visible in one of the shots, implying that the pair are probably going to be sold as a two pack, and not individually.

Over the weekend Hagerstown in Maryland held a celebration. Hagerstown is home to the Mack Truck plant, which was having a 50th anniversary celebration and as a part of the celebration, many Mack Trucks were present - including one Megatron prop truck as seen this summer in Transformers Dark of the Moon. Some images of the event have been posted on Google+ by Brian Griffith - check out his pictures here. You can also see the "clean" production version of the truck for a comparsion of how the non-Megatron version Mack Truck looks.

And just like that, another week has flown by. Where is the time going? It seems like just yesterday we were watching Transformers Dark of the Moon in theaters, and yet with next week launching the third of Michael Bay's live action series on DVD, all the buzz has been about the home release. How time flies - and a toy of Dino is still proving to be a literal mirage.

In other news, last week the first TFW2005 member meet-up (and party) (that's not attached to a Botcon) was announced. It'll be held on 8 October 2011, at RED HOT & BLUE in South New Jersey and starts at 8 PM. It is free for everyone, adults over 21 only (it is a bar). A live Blues band will be playing, the place serves food and it is a full service bar. If you're in the area be sure to swing by and meet your fellow Transformers fans! And hey, while you're there, the New Jersey Collectors Con is the next day...
