Transformers Revenge of the Fallen this past weekend surpassed Lord of the Rings Return of the King to become the 10th highest grossing film of all time in the United States. Having now grossed more then $379 million domestically Revenge of the Fallen is now posed to also surpass Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith for the number 9 spot on the all time list.

Though these figures do not take inflation into account this is still a very significant milestone that will most certainly cement Transformers as one of the largest and popular franchise's of our time.

According to an article in the latest issue of Empire magazine Transformers Revenge of the Fallen director Michael Bay makes clear his views on the inclusion (or lack thereof) of the Dinobot's in the live action films. Bay comments that "They've never been discussed [for inclusion]. I don't like them. Actually, I hate them.". This comes as sad news to fans of the beloved G1 characters and does not bode well for those hoping for the inclusion of the Dinobot's for the third installment of the film.

Transformers Fans Carcass and GrungewerX (fellow TFW2005 board member and Radicon) have updated their blogs with a brand new interview they were able to score with Bob Budiansky, who wrote the original run of the Marvel comics, is responsible for the original Transformers Universe who's-who books as well as the bio updates published in some of the later issues. He named Megatron, the Dinobots, and many other classic characters (except Optimus Prime, that was a Denny O'Neil contribution). He wrote/rewrote the bios originally written by Denny O'Neil into the format we are familiar with (so he is responsible for the personalities of all the characters, especially the ones with a lot of page time in the early comics like Shockwave, Ratchet and Grimlock). He also created the Matrix, long before the Movie introduced it to the cartoons.

This interview gives a lot of insight into Bob's original thought process in writing the series. To read the interview and to discuss it, simply click the title of this article or you can click on the DISCUSS button below.

Ever want a piñata in the likeness of Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime that you can just beat with a stick until it rains sweet sugary goodness upon the ground? Well you will have to wait a bit longer because this is one of those "safe" piñatas that release all of those treats by a pull string rather than a violent ritual of bludgeoning with a stick. The good thing is that leaves Optimus primed (see what I did there?) and ready to release treats another day.

Anyone looking to have a Transformers fiesta can expect to drop $22.99 for this Cybertronian candy vessel. Check out the listing here.

TFW2005 sister site Cybertron.ca is reporting that Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Supreme Class Devastator has been released in Canada. Interesting to note about this release is that this figure sold for $99.92 Canadian dollars which is the same price tag as the US release.

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen continues to garner profits at the box office, having now taken in nearly $800 Million. In fact, by the time you read this Revenge of the Fallen will more than likely have passed the milestone (the July 29 figures at Box Office Mojo put it at $799,779,845, oh-so close!)

This puts Revenge of the Fallen at an excellent place in the all time box office grosses - all time domestic (unadjusted) places Revenge of the Fallen at number 9, ahead of Revenge of the Sith, and within touching distance of number 8, the first Spider-Man movie. On the all-important adjusted for inflation chart, meanwhile, Revenge of the Fallen is currently in the 84th spot - but is in good company among many critically acclaimed classics, and could potentially soar up to catch Superman in the 60th position with another weekend of profits.

Not bad for a film that met with much skepticism and poor ratings from critics, and these massive profits can only mean good things for Hasbro and by extension, for us as fans.
