New G1-styled Frenzy / Rumble Prototype Toy

Is it official or fanmade?

We'll have to wait for more information to see, but BASE XO comes up big again, this time finding a prototype image for a new transforming toy (robot mode only pic). This toy's robot mode closely resembles the Soundwave cassettebots, Rumble and Frenzy, as you can see from the head and chest designs. Unfortunately what Frenzy/Rumble transforms into is yet unknown at this time.

Is this a new Device Label component? Frenzy and Rumble were already made for the music label line, so maybe not. Universe line toy? Or another Impossible Toys winner like their upcoming G1 Arcee?

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more information when it is made available.

Transformers ROTF DVD / Blu-Ray -- HUGE TF3 Rumor--?

Fellow TF fansite TFormers has managed to get an exclusive round table discussion with the minds and faces behind Transformers Revenge of The Fallen.

In the discussion they talk about voice-acting and the contents of the upcoming home video releases of the movie, like a game that lets you create your own Transformer. The group also claims that among the DVD contents will be an 'easter egg' in the form of a video featuring director Michael Bay. This video claims to be a bit of a spoiler for the next installment of the Transformers movie franchise, a very large rumor generator, if you will.

If you want to know the next rumor for Transformers 3 (the first was that Megan Fox's character Mikaela would be killed off in the third movie) then scroll the the very bottom of this article.

You can read the entire article by clicking here.




SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!************************












Rumor:

The Michael Bay video claims that none other than the planet devouring giant, Unicron will play a role in Transformers 3!


As this is an unconfirmed rumor we advise you to take it with a grain of salt.

First hint of TFCToys 004 - Possible Combiner?

Until more is known, please treat this as a rumour.

Fansproject Rumors: Protector Armor in Q1 2010 and Bruticus appendages

TFW2005 Member Victorysaber has posted and email response supposedly from Fansproject that we will classify as a rumor for now until confimed. According to the response, the Protector armor is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2010. More interesting, but not surprising, they are apparently working on a Bruticus Maximus set as well. No word though on when we can expect to see any images of it. The actual email text is below:

Thanks for the email. I are working on one for Bruticus, but it's still in
a very initial progress. We will have the update when it's ready.
"Protector" seems not ready until 1 st quarter of 2010. Thanks
for your support. We are glad you enjoy our stuff.

Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman NOT to write TF3

Seibertron.com member Optimutt has just informed us of some recent rumors that have, apparently, been put to rest concerning Transformers and Revenge of the Fallen Scribes Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman.

According to his post, Orci and Kurtzman will not be returning for the third installment of the Transformers movie franchise. Mr. Orci has hinted in the past that the two writers would not be returning for the film, but this seems to be a definitive answer about them and the third film. Here's what he had to report:


Recently on the Don Murphy Message Board, Roberto Orci, one half of the dynamic duo that brought us the stories for the first two Transformers movies, confirmed that he and his partner, Alex Kurtzman, will not be scripting Transformers 3. Ehren Kruger, brought on to help out with "Revenge of the Fallen", however, will remain to write the script.

When asked about Kruger's ability to write the story, Orci showed nothing but support, citing that "he really [does] his homework."

Orci implied that he and Kurtzman are hard at work on penning a sequel to their excellent re-imagining of the Star Trek movie franchise.

Elsewhere on the boards, Orci also displays what might possibly be embarrassment concerning Michael Bay's adaptation and what some might call "perversion" of Orci and Kurtzman's original TF2 script.

Jim Sorenson Talks Allspark Almanac and Possibly More TF Animated Comics

Fellow Transformers fansite Allspark.com has posted an ongoing discussion about the Transformers Animated Allspark Almanac that we've reported on, here at Seibertron.com, on several occasions.

In the discussion, Jim Sorenson was kind enough to answer a board members question regarding the possibility of more Transformers Animated content. Here's the Q & A:



HellCat - So how well would this need to sell to get us a follow up and possibly more Animated goodness?

Jim S. - That's a good question. I don't know if there is a magic number, above which the answer is yes, below which the answer is no. The best strategy is to buy one for yourself, advocate to people who might be interested, and above all make some noise. Let IDW and Hasbro know that you like the book by posting on their forum or publishing an amazon review - preferably both. Bill and I (and Marty and Derrick) are super-keen to do the follow-up volume and finish out season 3. I know Marty is itching to do a virtual season 4 in comic book form too. Right now, TPTB will be looking at this volume as a bellwether.



Well Animated fans, you heard the man. The Allspark Almanac is sure to be a treat for fans of the newest TF Cartoon franchise, and if you want more, make sure your voice is heard.

Rumor - New Universe Galvatron and ROTF Ravage repaints coming?

Real Devastator has received word from a reliable friend from Hong Kong that informed him the toy merchants in China are currently taking pre-orders for a repaint of Universe Galvatron, although no colour scheme was mentioned. Another figure they are looking at is a chromed version of ROTF Ravage.

This is a rumour only as there aren't any images available, so take this as a pinch (or several pinches) of salt.

ROTF DVD release date: October 20th?

A blu-ray.com forum member has found a poster in an FYE store that confirms the release date of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen DVD and Blu-Ray will be October 20th 2009.

There has yet to be an official statement by the manufacturer however, so that is still subject to change. See the original post here

iGear Working On Black Trailer for MP01-B?

Wasting absolutely no time after yesterday's news that a black, eHobby variant of Masterpiece Convoy, the Nemesis/Scourge homage, would be released in the first quarter of 2010, third party toy maker iGear has posted a color test, Photoshopped image to their blog of what apparently is being considered as repaint of their upcoming TF0004 Trailer. Since there's no release date or pricing yet for their original trailer, it's unclear whether iGear has serious plans to release this update or their just soliciting feedback from fans before making their final decision.

RUMOR: Meeting at Nemesis Soundwave... Now Sold Separately?

GenZhao at KO Toys, has recently got his hands on something a little strange. As you may (or may not) know, a blue Transformers Revenge of The Fallen Soundwave figure is to be sold in the Meeting at Nemesis three pack, revealed at Botcon this year. If you click here, we can see the Soundwave figure packaged entirely by itself.



GenZhao also writes this in his posting:

Here is a picture of a MOSC ROTF BLUE SOUNDWAVE TRU EXCLUSIVE, it is on a regular soundwave card (the picture of soundwave on the back is not the blue soundwave but the original grey soundwave)

Michael Bay on the Dinobots: "I hate them."

According to a post by TFW2005.com member Alienbot, Empire Magazine will be featuring a piece on Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Director Michael Bay in its September 2009 issue.

Michael Bay was quoted in the post as saying this about the possible introduction of the Dinobots for Transformers 3:

"They've never been discussed [for inclusion]" stated Bay. "I don't like them. Actually, I hate them."

Could the director of the 10th most domestically grossing film in movie history be throwing us an early "misinformation" loop well before production of the third film begins? Let us know what you think by clicking Discuss this topic above.

ROTF Ramjet and Skywarp at ASDA in the UK

New seibertron.com member "golf123morgan" has told us that he found both Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Skywarp and Ramjet at ASDA UK. This would make the UK the second non-US market after Canada to receive these toys.
The price is 25 pounds.
ASDA does not list them directly on their website it just lists the Voyager assortment with stock photos of ROTF Voyager Optimus Prime, Ironhide and Starscream. But the thing about this listing is that the listing marks them as "exclusive to ASDA". And as the Voyager assortment isn't exclusive to ASDA but on general retail in the UK we assume that this is confirmation for these two figures being available.
As we have no sort of photographic proof we treat this as a rumour so take this as a grain of salt.

Rumor: City Commanders Re-Release

It appears...that City Commander may be going back into production. Rumors have been coming from China and SE Asia about the possibility of a re-release of last year's City Commander set.

There are NO confirmations yet, only rumor. All the same, this info may be reason enough to hold off on any expensive purchase or a grab at the substandard KO version.

Details and quote from the Singapore Sightings thread over at TFW:

- Additional weapon accessory.

I do not yet know how the chromed version would look like and what the new accessory is, but watch this space, for I will be posting more information on it.

For those newbies who have not even heard of the City Commander or how it looks like and starts to ask for pictures, here is the previous version, courtesy of Seibertron.com:



The final price is not yet know for now, as I am still in discussions on the pricing.

Deposit is set at $50, usual transfer to my account:- 004-65523-0, POSB Savings Account. Rest assured that when we have met the quota number of pre-orders, the price will surely be set lower.

New Disney Label Halloween Edition Mickey Mouse???

You know what's better then an obscure figure that's been repainted right off the bat? When that figure gets a second REALLY OBSCURE repaint!

It's a wonder that Disney Label Mickey Mouse is getting his second repaint, and an interesting choice at that. The original mouseketeer will be getting dressed up for Halloween this year twice over by dressing his Optimus Prime Costume up with haunting red eyes, spider webs in his wings, googly eyes on his feet, and a jack-o'-lantern looking torso.

No... seriously.



What's next? Maybe a Kingdom Hearts Keyblade themed Micky or a Minnie Mouse remold? Only time may tell...

ROTF claims "Most Movie Mistakes Award" of 2009

With any massive production, like Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, there are bound to be some errors in the final product. According to MovieMistakes.com there are over 40, making it the most mistake ridden movie of 2009.

With the film Angels & Demons pulling a distant second with 19 errors, its hard to justify the large amount of movie mishaps, but some of these seem to be more of personal point of view issue than an actual mistake.

With some of them humorous and others just down right silly, the list continues to grow so check it out by clicking here.

Rumour: RotF Voyager Alien Form Ratchet

Sources have tipped us off on a possible repaint or remold of Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Ratchet, entitled 'Alien Form Ratchet'. A listing on Play.com (UK) gives us insight on this possibility.

The listing can be found here; Alien Form Ratchet

Alien Form Ratchet would be based on the original mold, 2007 Movie Ratchet, who was also made to make a G1-deco styled Ratchet entitled, Rescue Ratchet, and a more movie-accurate, metallic finish, Premium Ratchet, an exclusive to Best Buy.

Take this with a grain of salt, as it could simply mean the Wave 2 Ratchet that has already been released under the RotF tag. However that was released well into May and June, while this listing shows this figure arriving in July.
