Three previously unseen Transformers Universe recolours appeared recently on eBay. The auctions have now ended but the listings can still be seen. The auctions were for Universe Whirl, Universe Sandstorm and Optimus Prime.

Thanks to Break for letting us know that Toys R Us UK are now selling the first wave of the Transformers Universe Deluxe figures (Sunstreaker, Prowl and Tankor) as well as Wave 3 of the Transformers Animated Voyager figures (Grimlock, Lugnut and Blitzwing).

Impossibletoys.com have announced their latest fan project, a toy for Sari from Transformers Animated labelled Project TFA-01 S.A.R.I., to be released in a few months.

The toy is said to be in sale with the regular Transformers Animated toys, so it will probably be similar to the fan made Spike and Sparkplug toys.

Transformers comic writer Simon Furman has updated his blog with some details on the Transformers Spotlight on Doubledealer, which comes out in the United States tomorrow and in the United Kingdom on Thursday.

Spotlight Doubledealer is the third part of the four part Revelations Saga story arc.

At the same time Chris Mowry has posted a 5 page preview for Transformers: Reign of Starscream part 5 on the IDW Message Boards. This issue is the final one in the story arc, out is out next week.

In an interview with the Reading Eagle, Transformers veteran voice actor, Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, Ironhide and others in Generation One and Optimus Prime in the live action Transformers, talks about his work on Transformers over the years as well as his other projects.

In terms of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Peter comments that his voice recording sessions have already begun. "I worked with Michael a few weeks ago and we did some of the opening dialogue, the opening speech and then a couple of scenes with Shia LaBeouf. Shia wasn't there, of course. I just worked from the script.". When asked about the story to the second of three Transformers movies, Peter replied "They're very secretive about the story, I only know the lines I've read, and I'm not allowed to disclose any of those. But the amount of success that 'Transformers' had on a financial level is providing a lot more screen time for Optimus Prime. It's very expensive to do all these robot characters because of the 10,000 moving parts. Thankfully we were a hit, so there's 'Transformers 2' and maybe 'Transformers 3.' I think 'Transformers 2' is going to be an incredible, incredible picture. I can see the excitement in the faces of the people involved, and it generates quite a bit of excitement in me too."

Simon Furman has upated his blog with an entry regarding the latest IDW spotlight, Transformers Spotlight: Doubledealer. The story is the third part of the Revelation with Simon promising that things "kick into high gear" in this issue.

"the Dead Universe cast (Nemesis Prime, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Straxus, Grindcore and Jhiaxus) make their presence well and truly felt. As two universes begin to mesh, perhaps irrevocably, the Autobots struggle to understand exactly what has been set in motion (and how to stop it). They need answers, and what better place to get them than from “the font of all knowledge, known and unknown” (aka The Magnificence). Last seen in Spotlight: Hot Rod, this mysterious alien artefact has been carefully hidden away ever since, but now—with the end of everything looming—it may be the universe’s last best hope. It’s up to Hot Rod and Dealer to retrieve the Magnificence, but (unknown to Hot Rod) Dealer has only his own interests at heart. Dealer’s dalliances with Banzaitron’s Decepticon secret service earned him the sobriquet Doubledealer, and he’s about to make it his own by ensuring that the job he started in Spotlight: Hot Rod is comprehensively finished this time around. Deceptions, doublecrosses and deceit abound as events steam headlong towards their shocking conclusion. Plus, more on the Autobot ‘Pretenders,’ Optimus Prime vs Nemesis Prime (at last!) and a shocking reappearance by ... well, wait and see. Transformers Spotlight: Doubledealer hits stores this Wednesday (20th) in the US, Thursday (21st) in the UK. Interior art is by Dan Khanna, with covers by EJ Su and Nick Roche."
