Comics Continuum has posted a five page preview of the first issue of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation. To say that this preview contains major spoilers is an understatement - be warned, if you read this preview, you will be spoiled on the first scene of the film, and you will be spoiled about the fate of one major character.

Check out the preview by clicking on the link above.

Also previewed is All Hail Megatron Issue #11. This issue promises to feature a battle to end all battles, with an awesome double page spread shot of Devastator in the preview!

Both comics are due out this Wednesday, May 20th.

ACtoys has posted an image of the Wonderfest Exclusive Transformers Henkei Black Convoy in his packaging. This item was originally seen loose a year ago, however this is the first time that a packaged sample has been seen. It is unknown if this is some kind of repackaged sample, or evidence that this recolor will actually see the light of day in the future.

Of note is that unlike past Wonderfest exclusives, this piece does not feature the Wonderfest logo on the package but only the "Gentei" ("Limited") version of the Transformers Henkei logo, and "Genteiban" down in the bottom right corner, which very much suggests this is an exclusive but perhaps no longer a Wonderfest exclusive. Special thanks to BraveMax of our 2005 Boards for this bit of sleuthing.

Keep track of how much time is left before the premiere of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen with these cool new wristwatches! They feature Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and transform from watch mode to a miniature robot mode much like the classic Kronoform watches that some of you might remember from the 1980s! They were sighted at a Fred Meyer in Seattle, priced $9.99 each by 2005 Boards member Vermoozer.

TFCToy has listed an auction on Ebay for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Voygaer Class Grindor. Grindor is a slightly reworked version of Blackout from the 2007 Movie line, who still comes with Blackout's minion Scorponok - but he appears to have a slightly different head compared to the original Blackout and his remold Evac. Check out the auction by clicking on the link above, or the images by clicking on the title of this story for our mirror.

We have received an image from 2005 Boards member S250 of what might be a repaint of Transformers Energon Shockblast for the 25th Anniversary / Universe line. This Shockblast will probably be released as Shockwave, as the overall color scheme is not overly dissimilar to the original release, although from this image some differences (such as additional bronze accents) are visible.

The Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Toyline will receive a midnight launch event at Toy Workers in Malaysia on May 29th (technically, May 30th, but who is counting?) Of particular interest are the toys listed as being available in the attached promotional pamphlet - as well as the entire set of first wave toys, many second wave toys including the movie's big bad The Fallen, Scouts Ransack and Depth Charge, and at least three assortments worth of Deluxe toys will be available at launch. Could this also be the shape of things to come when the line launches in the US on may 30th?

Another heads-up to vintage collectors - Sunstreaker and Octane are allegedly the next pair of characters to receive bootleg releases. According to the seller of the bootleg Generation 1 Shockwave that we reported on yesterday, bootlegs of both of these Transformers will be coming very soon, possibly as soon as next month.

As always be vigilant and aware that these bootlegs are not subject to the same rigorous safety controls as official Hasbro or Takara-tomy Transformers.

Here is yet another item for vintage collectors to watch out for - as this iOffer auction indicates, the knockoff Superion gift set has also been released. This set is a little tough to tell from an authentic vintage piece at first glance - however, if you compare the bootleg to an official release, such as this one from 2005 Boards member Billylove79's collection, you can see that the Superion artwork on the right hand side of the box is further to the left than on an authentic release - unlike the knockoff where Air Raid's wings are fully visible on Superion's leg, the real deal has them cut off by the box edge.

As always, be aware that these bootleg pieces are not official released by Hasbro or Takara-Tomy and are therefore not subject to the same safety controls as an official Transformers product.

Neil Kaplan, the voice of Optimus Prime from Robots In Disguise, is returning to Transformers! According to his facebook page, he will be voicing two characters in the Transformers Revenge of The Fallen video game:

I am THRILLED to announce my return to the "Transformers Universe". This summer you can find my work on "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen". This brilliant video game is from the geniuses at Activision. I play both sides of the fence as Decepticon - Long Haul and Autobot - Protectobot. So... I can help you save or destroy the Earth. Just try to let me know ahead of time... nothing worse then tearing down what was meant to be saved.

The Los Angeles Times has conducted an interview with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen director Michael Bay. The interviewer himself saw almost 30 minutes of the film and offers some scene spoilers, in which Michael provides comments on several of them. The article also confirms Tom Kenny as a voice actor in the movie. While the character(s) he will provide voices for are not identified, speculation from the voice on the recent TV spots suggest he will at least be the voice of Skids. Another part of the article shows Michael Bay reflecting on the screening and hiring of stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen arrives in US theatres on June 24th.
