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.

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.

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
