The Arker has just posted new card images of two repaints for the Revenge of the Fallen line. The first is Swerve, which is based on Revenge of the Fallen Sideswipe with what appears to be a new head. His bio reads:

Swerve is highly intelligent, though you wouldn't know it to watch him drive. His duties as a metallurgist and fabricator for the Autobots expose him to a lot of toxic chemicals, which his circuits have been constantly exposed to for years. He has trouble holding a straight line as a result. The other Autobots prefer to keep him far away from battle, since he aims about as well as he drives.

The second is Autobot Gears, a repaint of the first movie toyline's Stockade:

If there's a negative angle to be found in any situation, Gears will find it. It's not that he's a miserable guy, or even that he's unhappy on Earth. He just really likes complaining. Nothing makes him happier than having something to gripe about. The other Autobots actually find his complaining funny, rather than annoying, which is part of the reason he continues doing it.

An opening of that size would make Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen the second biggest opening of all time, ahead of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith ($172.8 Million) but behind The Dark Knight ($203.7 million).

TFW2005 has just recieved information that IDW Publishing will use iPublishCentral to make comic series available online. If you would like to know how this affects Transformers, read the following press release:

IDW Publishing, the fourth largest comic book publisher in the U.S., has selected iPublishCentral, a self-service e-content platform from Impelsys, to help broaden its e-publishing strategy. Using iPublishCentral, IDW plans to digitize 25 issues from its classic Transformers series, and use the iPublishCentral tool suite to market and sell the content online.

Under the agreement, IDW will utilize the full iPublishCentral tool suite, including ViewInside and iPublishWidget. ViewInside and iPublishWidget are viral marketing tools that help publishers promote their brand and market books on the internet. ViewInside enables readers to browse pages from a book or a comic series before they decide to buy. This option allows prospective customers to sample an issue of a comic book series, and see the high quality artwork that is so essential to bringing a comic book to life.

"E-publishing is a great way to make our comics more accessible to a new audience, enticing them to eventually try the print versions," said Ted Adams, CEO of IDW. "iPublishCentral's self-service model has an elegant, easy-to-use approach to digitizing content and engaging our online community. We are looking forward to the opportunity to experiment with iPublishCentral's suite."

In addition to ViewInside, the iPublishCentral suite includes iPublishWidget, which enables readers and authors to participate in spreading information about a title of their interest on social profile pages like Facebook and MySpace. Readers and authors can also easily add book widgets to their personal blogs. This viral marketing tool enhances visibility, sustains interest and enables sales conversions for any title.

"iPublishCentral is the perfect solution for publishers such as IDW which heavily rely on print sales of comic books, but which also want to sync print publishing with e-publishing in order to attract new customers," said Sameer Shariff, CEO of Impelsys. "With iPublishCentral's sampling and viral marketing tools, IDW is able to expand its reach to audiences online, innovating along with their tech-forward audience, all without altering the authenticity of their titles."

iPublishCentral enables publishers of any size to digitize their content for sale online and promote their brands and titles across the Web through strategic viral marketing. Publishers can sign up for iPublishCentral's basic, no-cost package to access standard features and functionalities, drastically reducing the cost and risk of initiating an e-publishing strategy.

EJ Su has updated his deviantArt page with some new behind the scene images while working on Transformers Animated. EJ's comments:

I just found these photos in my hard drive the other day and totally forgot that I had them. They were taken when I spent a week working on Transformers Animated concept at Cartoon Network Studios.

The sketches on the wall of the cubicle was just little portion of the sketches I did, I wish I scanned the sketches just for sake-keep.

Looking back, I wouldn't mind working there at the studios. The place is quiet, full of supplies and equipments, not to mention free drinks and snacks, as well as a giant TV and comfortable sofa to relax in. The last and not least, I get to watch some screening of the cartoons in production whenever available. Sweet!!
