Transformers Rumors
Thanks to Anonymous on 4chan who has posted an interesting image that may give some validity to the rumors of the Power-Core Transformers action figures coming to life. The name originally surfaced as a trademark filing from Hasbro. Since then a number of posts and mentions have been made around the net trying to give this concept wings or debunk it.
When it rains it pours. We've seen this enough now to know there is a pattern. We get a whole bunch of news and all of a sudden a fake script gets leaked that has nothing to do with the actual movie. Then it turns out the be a lot like the final product. Coincidence? Well, here it is like clockwork. A third leaked script for the third Transformers movie. With nearly 2 years to go, read it and prepare for the whine festival that's gong to ensue. Just how you like it.
Thanks to a some sharp-eyed forum members, there is a strong possibility that Transformers: War for Cybertron the upcoming Transformers game from Activision, will also come with a toyline! A lone image of an unpainted prototype figure in vehicle mode was posted on KOToys back in October, which we simply disregarded as a possibly unproduced toy. However, with such a close resemblance of the figure to the Optimus Prime vehicle mode featured in the game trailer, there is quite a large possibility that the game will be accompanied with a toyline. Take a look at the comparison images provided by "timothyVritchey" after the jump.
Game Informer reports a rumor in their latest issue that Activision is currently developing a new video game based on the Transformers franchise that will tie-in with a Transformers film's continuity. "Activision's movie-based games are known for strictly adhering to the template of the films, often to those titles' detriment," reports Loose Talk, the rumors section in the magazine's epic issue number 200.

Last week, rumblings began passing through the Hollywood grapevines that Megan Fox would be killed off in Transformers 3. This week, we get a denial, according to Gossip Cop. The website reached Ms Fox's representative who said that the rumor is "not true." Now, if somebody else denied this rumor, we'd believe it a bit more. But the last person we'd take a denial from is the representative of the person who is reportedly going to be offed. She obviously has to protect the interests of her client, so continue putting salt on top of this rumor, as only more denials and details will continue to surface.
According to Hollywood insider site, Popcrunch, word around town is Sam's sultry sidekick, Mikaela Banes, played by Megan Fox, may not be seeing much action in the third edition of Michael Bay's Transformers film trilogy. Apparently Fox ruffled some feathers recently and is being cited as the reason for the character's demise. Fact or more insanity from this year's critically panned yet highest grossing film? Read on for the juicy bits.
Update: Turns out it was only a DIY! Sorry, folks! Unfuzzed image after the jump. So take this with extreme salt, but there could be a faint possibility that Takara-Tomy's upcoming Transformers Encore will be Devastator. The image, originally posted over at Chinese forums 78DM.net, is extremely blurry but looks at a box of a distinct Generation 1 Devaastator. Like we said before, take this speculation as just that. If we find out anything new, we'll sure to let you know.
Here's something new besides Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen beating away dinosaurs that may be the most interesting one as of late. It seems that when Megan Fox auditioned for Michael Bay for the first film, he had her wash his Ferrari. According to The Trailer Trash, an online tabloid for The Observer and The Guardian, not only did Mr. Bay watch her wash his Ferrari, he filmed it.
Okay folks, Take a seat and grab hold of something because this one is a doozie. If the Mickey Prime Disney Label wasn't a big enough monstrosity, Tomy Takara has taken it up a notch or two with a Halloween edition toy. It's hard to believe, complete with spider-web, Jack-O-lantern and all for what we will call Pumpkin Prime. Could be BS, but rest your eyes on the promo that surfaced on the Asian image boards and live to tell about it.
Our friends over at the Transformers Live Action Movie Blog is reporting that Susan Blu was tapped to voice Arcee for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The website also reports that Chris Griffith has lent his voice to Sideswipe (Chevrolet Stingray Corvette Concept).
"Yizhi521" of TF08.net reports that the Starscream character will be given the Leader class treatment. This news comes on top of the massive Voyager and Robot Replica versions of the character. He doesn't provide any solid proof to back this information up, but if "yizhi" has posted this information, we're sure to see some images of this guy some time soon.
Well, that's awkward. Despite Megan Fox saying that if Hasbro, Inc. made her into an action figure that she will kill herself, it seems they may have done just that. According to a product listing on Amazon.com, Skids (Chevrolet Beat Concept) will be given the Human Alliance treatment for the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen toy subline with Mikaela Banes accompanying the character. There aren't any images of a shipping date for now, but we'll keep monitoring this situation and let you know when something surfaces.
A recently surfaced rumor suggests that TakaraTomy will follow up their Disney Label Mickey Mouse with Donald Duck. An image provided by "Samus_Ng" gives us a look at a possible solicitation preview and suggests that Donald will transform to resemble Bumblebee. This is similar to how Mickey resembled the color-scheme and Disney cartoon-ish version of Optimus Prime. Click through for more.
And we thought it was too late for this. On the heels of the official release of the full Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen trailer, some new information has surfaced that may provide us some new spoilers for the film. Three separate anonymous postings found over at the Transformers Live Action Movie Blog deny some bits and clarify some others. If you're interested in reading further, click in. If not, um, don't?

According to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Director Michael Bay, some type of information related to a new trailer will be announced soon. Posting on his Twitter page, Mr. Bay wrote, "[m]ore Big (trailer) news coming down the pipeline, be extra excited."
In another stunning fanboy victory, The Fallen will be voiced by none other than Orson Welles... from Beyond the Grave. Using audio from the '86 Transformers movie as well as from several other unnamed Welles films, the not so jolly screen giant will return to for one last performance. "It wasn't a limitation on the dialog." said Director Michael Bay, "The editing technology is such that we could make Orson sing Linkin Park." Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
According to a post on Don Murphy's message boards, Transformers 1 and 2 writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have indicated they may not be working on the the third and last installment of the Transformers movie franchise flying under the Dreamworks banner?
