Transformers Animated fans, we've got a date for you to add to your diaries! According to wholesaler site Entertainment Earth, Transformers Animated Deluxe Wave 7 is due for release in December 2009! This new wave of Deluxes will include the new redecos Freeway Jazz and Electrostatic Soundwave.

However, as Entertainment Earth also has a release date of September 2009 for the sixth wave of Animated Activators - which contains the recently released Soundwave and Fireblast Grimlock - do not take this date as set in stone - they just might slip out to market a little earlier or later.

There has been no official confirmation of these dates from Hasbro as yet - watch this space for updates!

We have received a wide selection of official images from Hasbro of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen! This update includes official images of the Wave 4 Scouts, Wave 5 and Wave 6 Deluxes (well, only Gears really since we saw Thrust a while ago).

Granted, these toys have been on shelves for some time now - but this is the first time that official images have been released.

It may be nearing the end of its epic run in theaters, but Transformers Revenge of the Fallen still continues to rake in the money, and today has passed the $400 Million milestone, according to BoxOfficeMojo! At $400 Million, Revenge of the Fallen has taken in nearly $80 Million more across its lifetime than the first movie in 2007.

This puts Revenge of the Fallen within touching distance of the all time $403 Million domestic of the first Spider-Man film and the number 8 spot on the top 10 highest domestic grossing films, unadjusted for inflation. On the other hand, Revenge of the Fallen has climbed to the #67 spot on the all time inflation adjusted chart, ahead of such classics as Disney's Lady and the Tramp, the original Rocky and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

All told, not bad at all for a film almost universally panned by critics.

ModXToy have put up scans of the newest Hyper Hobby Magazine. The October dated issue has some cool new images of Alternity Bumblebee, and a nice closeup on the Cliffjumper head. Alternity Diamond Black Megatron is also shown, for the first time as a finalized product rather than a photoshop mockup. Disney Label Mickey Mouse (Halloween Edition) and the Device Label USB Ravage and Tigatron are also shown, with the packaging for the Device Label series revealed. Masterpiece Convoy Black Edition, Encore Skids and the upcoming releases in Japan's Revenge of the Fallen lineup round out the Takara-Tomy coverage in this month's magazine.

tfctoy has listed an auction for a strange alternate colored version of Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Megatron. It's a mixture of green and black, with a little clear thrown in, that looks strangely compelling! Check out the auction and the images by clicking on the link above. Please note that this is not necessarily an early version for a redeco of this Megatron - it might just be a mold test produced early on in the production process to iron out flaws in the mold, or to see how the mold would look in a certain colorscheme.

The Arker has put up some new images of the Revenge of the Fallen Robot Heroes Scenes Wave 2 - Shanghai Shootout and Desert Devastation - along with some images of the Revenge of the Fallen RPMs Mini-Vehicles Wave 3. Of particular note is that these images show us more of the packaging images for the Robot Heroes Scenes sets, and perhaps more importantly, they also also show us the Robot mode image on the underside of the Jolt RPM, which was absent on the previous round of official pictures of this wave. Sadly the image is a bit blurry, however the basic outline of the robot mode is visible.

TFW2005's Radicons is proud to present their featured Radicon for September, Venksta! Venksta is most notably known for his gorgeous 3D models, but Venskta has dabbled in just about all the facets of Radicons artwork; not just 3-D modeling, but also 2-D artwork and even making customized Transformers! There are many of you out there who are actually fortunate enough to get to own a piece of Venksta's artwork, and most of you probably don't even realize it. Venskta made a 3D model of City Commander and Shadow Commander for Fans Projects to use for their promotion of that piece, and he's also designed the box for BTS.Toy's Classics Optimus Prime trailer!

As part of our monthly spot-light, we have a really fun and interesting interview with Venksta, as well as his galleries, his project threads, and lots of really cool images. To see this interview and other cool features, venture on over to the Featured Radicons forum.

While you're at it, you can check out our past monthly Featured Radicons.
