Visiting his official website; Shoot For The Edit, Mr. Michael Bay explained to us “Why the Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Marina City scene was not filmed?”

“Why did I cut the stunt, because the building wanted a $40,000 location fee. I told my producer we are not paying that - Why? Because I like to stay on budget, and I also don't like to get ripped off. So there's the truth. And yes, we are are still under budget today.

Michael”

The rumor of “Transformers 3 has gone over-budget“ is now invalid.

While we are talking about TF3/DOTM, We should add a note that actor Tyrese Gibson (Robert Epps) feels lonely without Transformers filming. He updated his Twitter account with... "This is what I miss already......." and has added a pic of him and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (Carly).

Transformers Junior was a Takara produced line of smaller versions of some popular Generation 1 Transformers in Japan. The line included characters like Rodimus Convoy (Rodimus Prime), Chromedome, Fortress Maximus, Convoy (Optimus Prime) and a few more. Today's Featured Ebay Auction is for a Rodimus Convoy and Chromedome Transformers Junior 2-Pack. The box has definitely seen better days, butthe figures appear to be in great shape. Plus it comes with the mini metal Metroplex that's almost impossible to find otherwise.

Check out our own Transformers Junior Resources Section to learn a bit more about the line. See some photos by clicking the headline of the story.

Here's something that you don't get to see everyday - resin and styrene prototypes for toys that never got made! Andrew Scribner - of After Midnight Studios - has posted these rare and unusual insights into what never saw the light of day on his online portfolio. There's a resin prototype of an utterly adorable Robot Heroes Skullcruncher, a pair of styrene models of what look like unmade Legends Class Movie Frenzy and Universe Ratbat, and plenty more besides.

The latest assortment of Transformers Speed Stars Single Packs have been spotted at US retail! This assortment includes a couple of excellent steps forward for the Transformers brand - first of all, it heralds the return of the name "Bluestreak" to Transformers lore, and second, it adds Lockdown to the line - and more Lockdown can only be a good thing, right? Along with Lockdown and Bluestreak, the assortment includes Stunticon series Barricade, Cyber Hunt series Optimus Prime, and Revealers Bumblebee. They were spotted at a Toys "R" Us in Columbus, Ohio.

Big Hank of TFW2005, who provided us with the first image of RTS Deep Dive, let us in on another very special announcement.

On the other side of the Transformers Toy catalog we saw earlier… We have the Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Toyline Release Date.

Directly below an image of the Transformers 3 Teaser Poster…
"Look for officially licensed products starting the week of MAY 16, 2011!"

Hopefully, we’ll get our hands on the new Ferrari 458 Italia, which Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear on his latest DVD; "The Italian Job", described as… “What A Machine! Yes! This may be the baby in Ferrari’s range, but it laps Fiorano faster than an Enzo.”

Hasbro has scrapped any plans to release the upcoming Powercore Combiner Spastic with Stunticons set in the United Kingdom and Europe due to outcry from the United Kingdom. The word "spastic" is seen as offensive in the United Kingdom, while the word itself in the United States is seen more as a slang term for someone who is hyperactive or clumsy due to hyperactivity.

The original story can be found on various websites on the Internet.

The news comes as a resounding blow to the hearts of millions of children in Europe who have adored the Powercore Combiners, as they have undoubtedly heard how amazing and breath-taking the toys are here in the United States. The toy is still planned for a January 2011 release in the United States, if someone will just buy all the freaking Combaticon and Aerialbot sets still sitting in my local WalMart.

The overall response from TFW2005.COM UK members? "Like we get wave 3/4/5 of ANYTHING anyways."

At least Slag now has a friend to hang out with in the mists of obscurity on the other side of the pond. Or is his name Snarl now? Maybe it was Grimstone ... I can't remember.
