Visual Effects Supervisor Scott Farra recently sat down with BBC to briefly discuss some of his experiences with his involvement in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. He discusses the chase scene with Bumblebee and the Dreds, taking careful note of all the detail as well, the movement of the Dreds, and how "cool" the whole scene turned out. Mr. Farra also explains just exactly what his job is and how he works with others. From concept to conception, he is thrilled to be a part of the whole process, he says.

You can watch the interview by going to BBC's website here.

The latest masterpiece Transformer to hit Japan is the Destron Doppleganger Black Rodimus Convoy. A dark reflection of Hot Rod and the latest entry into the trend of evil black repaints for Rodimus, this guy is an E-Hobby exclusive with a very cool take on the Black Rodimus. 2005 Boards member GENgoraw has shared some very nice sharp pics of this toy, check them out! The pics include several great comparison shots with the first release version of the mold, Masterpiece Rodimus Convoy, so you can get a good feel for how the two stack up against each other.

The buzz might be all about Transformers Prime toys and this big chap named Hercules lately - but Dark of the Moon is not yet done! The Wal-Mart exclusive Cyberverse "Ultimate" Gift Set has been quietly popping into stores all over the place (so quietly we're not exactly sure when or where it first popped up...)

The set consists of recolors of Autobots Optimus Prime, Powerglide, Sideswipe and Bumblebee, all of whom stand united against the lone Decepticon Crowbar. Perhaps the "Ultimate" in the set name refers to the scale of the beating Crowbar's going to get?

Keep up to date with the latest new findings in your area in our Transformers Sightings board.

Chinese BBS site Toys Pie (great name!) has uploaded some images of a new Classics Bumblebee customisation kit. These replacement heads convert a Classics Bumblebee into Bumper or Hubcap, and are a suitable alternative if you are not able to get the Renderform versions for any reason. They are by a new third party group called MGS.

Also on the link are images of a KO version of the Perfect Effect God Sword / Matrix Blade - are not even unlicensed third party products immune to being knocked off? Apparently not as rumors abound about KOs of FansProject Causality Insecticons and even the Maketoys Battle Tanker being passed off as the real deal.

Some more new third party product images have been posted over at Toys Pie. First, from Dr Wu, is an image of the prototypes for their Universe Hound Gun and Ravage missiles. These are coming in at least three versions according to the picture, a silver set, a black gun / white missiles set, and a set of blue gun and blue missiles, probably for the Botcon Turbomaster with Shattered Glass Ravage.

To one side, there's also a City Commander head. Coincidence, or are Dr Wu carrying on their trend of new heads / faces for FansProject armors...?

A separate thread shows off a PVC figure of Season 3 and Headmasters human sidekick Danial Witwicky. Unlike the official SCF PVC, this Danial is rendered in his 2006 jumpsuit (I don't remember seeing kids wearing them back then...) This Danial Witwicky is scaled to be roughly knee-high against Classics Rodimus - which is about as in scale as a human PVC character is ever going to be.

HEADS UP! An e-mail has been sent out from Transformers Collectors Club giving an update on BotCon 2012! Location and dates for the convention will be announced in the next few days. At the time the location will be announced, you will be able to make your hotel reservations. Convention registration will not start for several weeks after this.

To further speculation about where the location will be, Botcon has said this over Twitter: It will NOT be in 95% of all your backyards. Odds are you will need to drive or fly

Keep checking back on TFW2005 and we'll keep you udpated on all the upcoming Botcon news!

Proving that it's not just Transformers Dark of the Moon that is picking up the awards nominations!

Transformers Prime has received a nomination for "Best Kids Animated Series" in the 2012 Kidscreen awards. Transformers Prime is running against Rated A For Awesome and The Amazing World of Gumball. The winners of the awards will be announced on 9 February 2012.

We have received the Diamond Comics Shipping List for next Wednesday, December 7th, 2011, thanks to 2005 Boards member D-Drive.

TRANSFORMERS ONGOING #31 (& it's incentive)
(W) Mike Costa (A) Casey Coller (CA) Casey Coller, Photo

CHAOS is over. The future holds many mysteries, but the past can never be forgotten. As Ironhide looks back at what was, he comes to realize that it may hold the key to what lies ahead. A new peace has settled, and a new time has come for the Autobots, for the Decepticons... for Cybertron.

As a side note this is the first Transformer comic that the covers will not be shipping in a 1 to 1 ratio. It's 4 to 1 which means there will be 4 photo covers to 1 Cassey Coller cover.
