The Toys R Us website is currently offering a Buy One Get One Half Price offer on all Transformers: Dark of the Moon items.  If you are a fan of DotM or, like us, have not bothered to get anything thus far, this offer may be the best time to start.

I've corrected the offer as I had put it down as Buy One Get One Free.  Let this be a lesson, don't type news stories whilst working on two projects and training, you'll loose track :p

YouTuber TheKutaKowboy has­ posted a video review of Transformers: DarkSide Moon (the Japanese name for Transformers: Dark of the Moon) voyager class Optimus Prime with MechTech trailer. You can watch the video below.

Thanks to two auctions on TaoBao we can bring you the profiles for the upcoming Transformers Dark of the Moon Toys R Us exclusive Mission Earth Scan Series figures.  This sub-line of Transformers: Dark of the Moon is based on the scenes where the Transformers "trans-scan" into the Earth based vehicle modes. The first figures to be released in this line are Sideswipe and Ironhide, who's profiles we can bring you, with the second wave being Bumblebee and Ratchet.  So here are the profiles.

Sideswipe: There are two things SIDESWIPE likes more than anything else in the Galaxy: Pummeling DECEPTICONS and fast cars. He chose to scan a vehicle that would allow him to enjoy both. He now arrives to the fight in a stylish, cutting-edge sports car ready to junk any DECEPTICON that dares put a scratch in his paint!

Ironhide: "IRONHIDE may be the most battle-hardened AUTOBOT. Countless encounters with the DECEPTICONS have taught him that the proper vehicle mode is essential to battlefield success. Trucks, he thinks, are the ultimate in vehicle mode superiority. And he`s just found one that rivets utility, durability, and performance together in one mean DECEPTICON smashing package."

e-Hobby have updated their store with some new images of the Transformers United DS Optimus Prime and Megatron figures.  The toys are the black re-paints of the Transformers United / Transformers Universe War For Cybertron Optimus Prime and Megatron figures.
