Just a little heads-up. Nickelodeon's 24th Annual Kids' Choice Awards is happening tonight at 8 p.m. ET.
What’s so special about this year’s ceremony is that it is sponsored by Hasbro’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon Toyline marketing team. As a result we will be hearing the 1st prize winner of “16 Weeks of Cyber Sweeps” who’ll be winning a family trip for four to the star-studded U.S. premiere of the movie. “The winner of the TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON U.S. movie premiere tickets will be announced in a commercial that will air on Saturday, April 2 during Nickelodeon’s 2011 Kids’ Choice Awards, of which Hasbro is a presenting sponsor.” says Hasbro. Nelson, meanwhile at the Michael Bay Official Website states that there will be no new DOTM trailer at the KCA 2011. However Nelson says that the Transformers: Dark of the Moon Poster will arrive in May. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for the latest Transformers 3 news from Nick Kids’ Choice Awards 2011. |

Amazon has updated their Transformers: Dark of the Moon Novelization page with the cover page. The cover features the Transformers 3 Promotional Poster we’ve been seeing for a long time. Although this poster appeared on various occasions; once at a convention inside a Hasbro booth and on another time featured on a folder belonging to the DOTM crew working closely with Michael Bay, it is never popularized as an official poster.
Few other updated items relating to Transformers are also there… Transformers Prime Volume 4 Transformers Classics: UK Volume 1 2012 Transformers Special Edition Wall Calendar 2012 Transformers: Dark of the Moon Wall Calendar Learn more about each, after the jump. |

This is it Transformers fans!
With less than 24 hours left until voting ends on TFW2005.COM, we are in a virtual tie between the top two candidates - Erector and Grimlock! It can be easily said that this year's Transformers Hall of Fame nomination and voting process has gone above and beyond last year's, with a virtual and sudden fan-movement to vote in a totally obscure and highly contraversial candidate! While last year saw a ton of users on our message forums include signature images supporting their candidate, this year saw a ton of discussion threads on nominees, a massive signature image campaign, and even a Facebook page or two supporting their candidate! Not to be left out of discussion, Waspinator and Shockwave are also in a dead-heat for 3rd and 4th place, with Waspinator recently overtaking Shockwave. Nearly 800 votes have come in, but we still need to be able to declare a true winner to TFW2005's poll! We need YOU to vote RIGHT NOW on who deserves to be inducted in to the 2nd Transformers Hall of Fame! Who do you vote for? An obscure and unfortunately-named Micromaster? A lovable and fan-favorite self-proclaimed king and bad-ass? A bug with plans who just can't catch a break? Or quite possibly the biggest mastermind in all of Transformers lore? Click HERE and VOTE today! NOTE: This vote is one of many currently under-way on numerous Transformers fansites. All fansite voting totals will be calculated and turned in to a final, official vote in the future on Transformers.com. Winner will be announced at this year's BotCon, taking place in Pasadena, California. |

As you all vote on that all important Transformers Hall of Fame 2011 poll, I thought I'd draw your attention to this Generation 1 Skullcruncher gallery, recently submitted to us by 2005 Boards member HighPrime.
Skullcruncher is a Decepticon with a special place in my heart - back in the New Year's sales of 1988, I remember picking up this alligator Decepticon to give some backup to my Scorponok who I got for Christmas. For a long time it was him, Apeface, Snapdragon and Scorponok as my Headmasters - he is one of the toys from my childhood who got a lot of play. And even now looking back and reading his bio, there's nothing about him that is not cool. He's an alligator Decepticon whose gun has the sole purpose of making his enemies easier to chew! He's partnered with a businessman who plans on using the Decepticon to get rid of his business rivals! Grax's pilot seat in beast mode is sitting inside Skullcruncher's mouth (better hope he doesn't get hungry while you're in there guy)! Looking at this gallery brought back a lot of happy childhood memories for me. Click here to check out the gallery and see if HighPrime's excellent photography does the same for you too. And who knows, maybe it will be Skullcruncher for the Hall of Fame 2012? |

2005 boards member Monzo has just come back from JoeCon 2011 where he attended the "Treasures Of Hasbro Archives" panel, hosted by Rik Alvarez and other Hasbro employees such as John Warden. Alvarez revealed quite a surprising abandoned concept, a repainted Omega Supreme for a crossover line between Transformers and GI Joe! Here's more details:
"According to Rik, these are parts of an Omega Supreme that were redecoed and intended for release in the G.I. Joe toyline. In what manner, as a character or parts of a non-living vehicle, he didn't say; the phrasing of his following statement, where he was going to look into "an actual crossover between the G.I. Joe and Transformer toylines", makes the Joemega Supreme situation seem a bit nebulous." That wasn't the only shocker. It turns out that at one point, the GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra was actually going to have a female figure, paired with a Transformer too! This set was of Arctic Baroness With Ravage(or rather, Ravage but not Ravage): "There were plans for an arctic Rise of Cobra Baroness figure that would have come with a robot panther companion -"maybe Ravage, maybe not" said Rik, but John Warden consistently denied that it was going to be Ravage. In any case, the use of Ravage design cues was intentional, though Rik sadly noted that the G1 weapons did not work with it." With even more files to sift through in the archive, could we see more abandoned GI Joe VS Transformers concepts at Botcon 2011? |

catz of our 2005 Boards has shared with us some more information on the upcoming toy listings which are circulating among retailers at the moment for the third assortment of Takara-Tomy Dark of the Moon toy releases. We already heard over the weekend of the Voyager Class Sentinel Prime, but these listings also add that a Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Skywarp is in the works! Yes, it sounds like Dark of the Moon is giving us Movieverse versions of the complete Seeker trio in the Deluxe Class. (Picture shown at left is the Revenge of the Fallen Store Exclusive Skywarp. We don't know what the new Skywarp is going to look like right now, but presumably that will be his basic colors)
Also of interest on the new listings are the Japanese Human Alliance Basics. These releases do away with the "new" characters created for the US releases and throw Sam, Epps and Lennox into the mix partnered with Backfire, Sandstorm and Thunderhead respectively. Read on to check out the full listings. |

It was not too long ago that we found out about Mr. Simon Furman expressing his thoughts about continuing the Marvel Transformers Comic Book Series with the help of IDW.
At the IDW Forums, Transformers Comic Book Fans replied to Mr. Furman’s statement with full support. TFW2005 members also joined the cause. Now, they have created an online petition for everyone to take part to receive permission from IDW for the continuation of the series starting with issue #81. Meanwhile, Mr. Andrew Wildman; Transformers Comic Book Artist left a message on his blog regarding this latest development. "…A while ago myself and Simon Furman considered the idea of picking up where we left off with the old Marvel Comics run of Transformers. For me it came about because after doing a series of six covers IDW asked me to do some interior art for their Transformers book… …So where are we now? Well it is clear that IDW are not resistant to the idea but in these current times of relatively low comics sales they would need to feel confident that it would sell. So what can be done about it? If you are interested, sign the petition that is going about. Get enough names on that and it would clearly be a viable project. Of course it remains to be seen who would draw it as there are other interested parties but I think it is safe to say that Simon would love to get his teeth into it…" The Online Petition can be found here: Restart Original Transformers Continuity From #81 with SIMON FURMAN |

Images of Transformers: Dark of the Moon Human Alliance Bumblebee and Silver Bumblebee have emerged on various websites.
HA Bumblebee looks the same as his Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen / Hunt For The Decepticons mold but with a different paint scheme and packaging. As for the ‘Silver’ Bumblebee… er… we’ll let you judge for yourself… We have rounded-up the images. You can take a look at them after the jump. Special thanks to the original posters and websites. |

According to Nickandmore…
“The Hub is moving premiere episodes of Transformers: Prime, G.I. Joe Renegades and Hubworld to Saturdays, instead of their previous Friday premiere timeslots. Hubworld will air new episodes on Saturdays at 4 p.m. ET starting April 9. Transformers Prime will have premiere episodes on Saturdays at 7 p.m. ET starting April 9 as well. G.I. Joe Renegades will return with premieres on Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. ET starting April 16.” This explains the recent odd TV listings. |

ACToys has posted some promotional material for 8 Transformers: Dark of the Moon Keychains (or referred to as Keytags in some countries).
The Blue string is for the Autobots while the Red string is for the Decepticons. It’s hard to figureout who’s who due to the size of the image, but from the looks it’s Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Ironhide, Megatron, Starscream, Brawl and Blackout/Grindor. |

The votes are in and counted. The campaign bandwagons have been and gone, and now, we can reveal the winners of your Transfomers Hall of Fame nominations. The winner, with a whopping 434 votes, is the Dinobot Commander, Grimlock! Here's what he has to say about his victory:
"Me Grimlock, king! Me not lose to some funny named Micromaster!" The four runners up were: Shockwave Waspinator Jazz And yes, Erector too. We will submit these results to Hasbro, which Hasbro will then use along with the nominations from other fansites to decide who will be in the final fan's vote on Transformers.com on April 13 next week! Thank you to all who took part! |

Remember the rumor? Few weeks back, Red Leader tipped us off that Takara is planning to release something called “UA-01 Jetwing Optimus Prime". Everybody was excited. Main question was… “Can it top the upcoming Ultimate Optimus Prime?”
Well here it is… Our first look at the Jetwing Optimus Prime thanks to snakas.blog95.fc2.com. What do you think? |

We have received the Diamond Comics Shipping List for next Wednesday, April 13th, 2011, thanks to 2005 Boards member D-Drive.
TRANSFORMERS ONGOING #18 (and it's incentive) The Autobots have been beaten down, backed into a corner, and harried into making a huge mistake. But the biggest blow has yet to fall, as Prime sets out to face Megatron one-on-one in the final chapter of REVENGE OF THE DECEPTICONS. Nobody dies... but somebody's gonna wish they had. TRANSFORMERS RISING STORM #3 (OF 4) (and it's incentive) It's all out war in Philadelphia, as Optimus Prime and the rest of the Autobots roll out to stop Starscream and his forces from killing Sam Witwicky! The biggest, most explosive battle in Transformers history begins here! The fate of the universe rests on the outcome and the action of this summer's hottest movie heats up right here! |

Hasbro has updated their Transformers Toy Instruction Sheets with Transformers: Dark of the Moon Mechtech Voyager Class Megatron.
We’ve seen the instruction sheet before, but this is the official reveal. It’s nice to see actual images of the toy instead of the usual lineart (which you all sometimes may have had difficulty understanding “what goes where”). You can download the Instruction Sheet here (12.22MBs). |

2005 Boards member Masabon is one lucky guy - he's the lucky recipient of the latest E-Hobby Transformers exclusive. Check out these images of the United Autobots set's booklet, which includes Kup Damage Version, Hot Rod Blue Clear Version, and an all-new remold of Junkion Wreck-Gar as Scrapheap. Plus he's also sent us scans of the Decepticon set with Galvatron Purple Clear Version, Cyclonus Red Purple Clear Version and Scourge Blue Purple Clear Version. If that is not enough he's also given us scans of every story chapter to come with the toys. And all of this is in English as well as Japanese! Read on to check out the images!
