The Hasbro booth at San Diego Comic Con 2011 has put out the new Transformers Prime toys we saw official pictures of earlier today. Check out these images of Voyager Optimus Prime, Voyager Bulkhead, Deluxe Cliffjumper and Deluxe Vehicon. Of note is that this is the other variant of Cliffjumper on show - the non-battle damaged version seen in episode 1 of Darkness Rising, who comes with an undamaged helmet and his triple barreled blaster as an accessory.

Carrying on the recent trend of painting Optimus Prime black and calling him "Darkside Optimus Prime" in Japan, Takara-Tomy have updated with a page for an upcoming Toys R Us promotion - this EZ Collection Darkside Optimus Prime, based on the Revenge of the Fallen Legend, will be available at Toys R Us Japan on 30 August to those spending 3000 yen or more on applicable Transformers Darkside of the Moon products. It is a pretty cool promotional piece, made in smokey clear transparent plastic with silver red and teal accents - can anyone say, Legends Class Movieverse Scourge?

Some images of a bunch of new third party Transformers designs have begun to circulate around the net. Posted on ACToys and subsequently reposted on HK-TF and other fansites are some images of a custom third party take on Steeljaw, which looks barely any different to the original other than incorporating a few other parts into the design.

Also posted on HK-TF are some very rough (we assume) early versions of nano-scale versions of Kup and Scourge. These are presumably going to be sub Scout sized when they are done, like the works of Gungs Borchitect and Jizai Toys.

JustiToys have posted some new images of their WST Astrotrain Military Transport on their Facebook page, which we are mirroring here for your enjoyment. The train mode images confirm our earlier assessment - WST Astrotrain has the same amount of die-cast as the original Astrotrain, located in the legs only.

Why are the movie toys cheaper looking than other lines, like Generations.

CM's Corp, who I personally better know for their expensive and fragile Brave Gokin Gaogaigar figures, have recently dropped a hint at Wonderfest that they will be making figures of Masterforce's Minerva (here called Minelba) and Ginrai as a part of their Guttu Kurru line. They will be the human characters in their powersuits rather than the robots themselves.
These aren't third party garage kit items - CMs Corp will have licensed these from Takara-Tomy. Given CMs tends to specialise in high-end, collector products, expect these to be expensive when they are released.

Some more vehicle mode images of the Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Leadfoot have been posted on Ebay by seller Riflescopeshop. Leadfoot will be a Target exclusive in the US, sold in a two pack with a redeco of Topspin tentatively called Twin Twist. Like Topspin he features the screen accurate weaponized vehicle mode, and lots of lovely 5mm peg weapons to give to your other Transformers toys or peg into the many ports on his vehicle mode.

The next wave of Deluxes for the Dark of the Moon line have been sighted at retail at a Target in New York by user Jlogano20. This wave features the highly awaited repaints of the first wave's Bumblebee and Ratchet molds.

Do you have any new sightings? Have toys you want to discuss in full detail on the boards? Well we have just the places for you to go! Post your very own sigthings in the sightings section in the forum, and then discuss the toys themselves in the Feedback Forum (Please use search to see whether or not a thread was made for the toys before starting a new one, however.)

Good luck, and happy hunting!

Word from BoxOfficeMojo tells us that Transformers: Dark Of The Moon has passed the Lifetime Revenue of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, this weekend.

In just 26 Days Transformers 3 earned $882,389,000 ($882 Million) worldwide whereas Transformers 2 only managed to grab $836,297,228 (836 Million) throughout its entire run (June 29 - October 15, 2009).

Unfortunately Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 destroyed DOTM at the boxoffice; shattering records previously held by TF3 not too long ago. But as we speak, Paramount’s Captain America got a Shield powerful enough to protect the company from Potter’s magic.

Transformers 3 is yet to release in Japan later this week. And with it hopefully will reach the US$ 1 Billion mark comfortably.

If you have enjoyed the movie… go watch it again… If you haven’t watched it yet… what are you waiting for?
