Writer Shane McCarthy--The IDW Transformers's scribe that was most famous for writing the highly criticized series, TRANSFORMERS: ALL HAIL MEGATRON--has updated his blog today with a blurb about the upcoming DRIFT series that was revealed through an Amazon.com listing, and then confirmed by Chris Ryall on his blog.

"This is something I’ve been working on over the holidays and it’s been an absolute joy but seeing the artwork coming through has been the highlight. Alex Milne is the artist I’m working with this time around and his pages have been breathtaking. The final page of issue 1? Wow.

Right now I’m wrapping up on issue 4 and bringing the whole story to a close. If Alex has been wowing me so far I’m prepared to be at a loss for words when he hits the final issue.

The mini series, as you would expect, deals with the origins of Drift, how he became a Decepticon and why he eventually decided to leave their ranks. Along the way we’ll be introduced to an exciting new angle to the IDW Transformers universe and learn just what’s up with all of those swords (especially when you could just have a good blaster at your side)."

In some not-so-shocking news, Josh Duhamel officially confirmed today that he will in fact be part of Transformers 3.

Here's the scoop, courtesy of comingsoon.net

While it was expected, it was not confirmed yet whether Josh Duhamel would return as Major Lennox in Transformers 3.

Duhamel told us today at the Las Vegas ShoWest convention that he met with director Michael Bay yesterday, that the script is done and they're preparing to start filming in the summer. So yes, he will indeed be back alongside Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and Tyrese Gibson.

Transformers 3 is scheduled to hit theaters on July 1, 2011.

Some of the rarest of the rare Transformers finds have always been the ultra limited "Lucky Draw" figures.

One such figure has been the TV Magazine Gold Henkei Convoy, a gold chromed version of Classics/Henkei Optimus Prime. Until now, the chances of the average Transformers fan even finding one, let alone affording one have been slim.

That is until now, sort of. GenZhao of KOtoys.com has officially announced a series of KOLD figures (Knock Off Lucky Draw) that will begin with KOLD LE 01 GOLD OP. If all those abbreviations flustered you, the figure is actually a knock-off version of Gold Henkei Convoy and will be limited to 250 pieces.

Here are a couple of images of the figure. The rest can be found by clicking here.

We have some potentially good news for US Transformers fans who have been anxiously waiting for their N.E.S.T. exclusive Recon Ravage to arrive.

Seibertron.com members nemesis-prime and Grahf have both reported that after many weeks of waiting, they have discovered the checks they sent in as payment have finally been cashed. While this does not guarantee that Recon Ravage will be sent out a.s.a.p, it does seem to indicate that the wheels are in fact in motion, so to speak.

IDW Becomes Premier Publisher

Thursday, Mar 18th, 2010
First publisher to achieve higher status with Diamond since 1996;

Diamond and IDW strengthen their exclusive distribution relationship with new agreement and initiatives

(BALTIMORE, MD) - (March 18, 2010) - Diamond Comic Distributors and IDW Publishing announced today that IDW has become the first publisher to advance to "premier" status since the classification was implemented in 1996. Diamond and IDW have signed a new, multi-year agreement that features a number of fresh initiatives, including premier status, in recognition of IDW's success as a top tier comic book and graphic novel publisher. Under the agreement, Diamond will continue to be the exclusive distributor of IDW comic books and graphic novels to the comic book specialty market, and to the bookstore market through its Diamond Book Distributors division.

"This change recognizes the growth and importance of IDW Publishing," said Diamond President and CEO, Steve Geppi, "and we look forward to working with them for many years to come."


Diamond VP Purchasing Bill Schanes added, "Since IDW began publishing, they have grown consistently each and every year, while at the same time establishing one of the best editorial, marketing, and business teams in our industry. They're easy to work with, understand our market, and are forging ahead with new strategies and plans to grow the consumer appetite for comics and graphic novels."

IDW is of course the publisher of Transformers comics here in the US, not to mention other popular titles like G.I. Joe, Star Trek, Dr. Who and CSI. To read the entire press release, click here.

Courtesy of Japanese toy retailer Ami Ami we're happy to bring you images of a new upcoming product offering from Takara.

While most of the new Japanese Animated figures are merely repainted versions of their US counterparts, a new sub-line has apparently been launched which is known as "Diablock."

As you will see in the pictures, Diablock toys seemed aimed at the LEGO collector crowd and bear some similarity to the Hasbro BTR (Built to Rule) line of a few years ago.

These figures do in fact transform from robot to vehicle, and are slated for a June 4th release in Japan.

Here are the preorder pages, complete with images of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime.

Just wanted to let you all know, our anonymous source is reading your responses.

And in response to your casting call concerns, our friend has posted a message and showed me a casting call from last week, along with a new one for a Josh Duhamel photo double. Sorry that I posted these too late for some of you to possibly participate last weekend, but if we receive any more time sensitive information, I will work harder to get it out to you before the deadline

"Got this one today. Only reason I'm sending this one (because it's not significantly different than the other casting notices) is because some people on Seiberton.com pointed out that the casting call on Craigslist was possibly bogus. Some times large background casting companies try to lure people into signing up with them with the promise that they can get them extra work in said feature film.

So, if you have some Seibertonians who want to check out the open call, here it is. It's this upcoming Saturday. And it's not online or some number to call. Any one interested who fits the criteria can show up. Would help if they do their measurements before hand.

If you read the castiing notice, you'll see that it's not labelled "Transformers 3" but many clues suggest it is (military types from before, big Paramount picture, etc.). It even says it can't say the name due to confidentiality."

Here are some png's of pieces of the e-mails that ANONYMOUS sent.

Hmm, can you sense that minty fresh packaging smell? The-Arker, and kotoys has cooked up another in-package look at a new and very big Transformer. This time it's Battle Ops Bumblebee, a brand new mold that we've seen plenty of this past month. Whether it was Toy Fair or official stock photos, the Bumblebee mania is not likely to slow down anytime soon. Check out the packaging in all of it's entirety below!

Bumblebee is ready for anything, any time, though he's known among the Autobots for his sense of humor he is also a dangerous warrior with decades of experience under his hood. His demeanor changes with all the speed of his vehicle mode; he is never caught unprepared for a fight. Though the Decepticons have tried for years to destroy him, they have always failed. He has survived grievous injury and even serious defeat, but he always comes back with a grin on his grill, ready for more.
