Activision have now confirmed previous reports, by MCV here, reported by us here, that they have indeed aquired the rights to produce the computer game tie-in to the new Transformers Film. The story, which original broke back in Jan, sprung back up in recent days after news articles appeared in Yahoo! and Google news stories over the last week.

Don Murphy has posted his Sunday Update over on his message board here. On a Transformers related note, Don points our that [snip].... that pesky greenlight looks like it is coming. Any Damn Minute. If you read the Hollywood papers, Dreamworks and Paramount have been merging .... so this delayed us an extra week. Probably no big deal in the long run.. On the voice actor debate update, Don posted that I should tell you all that the Cullen/Welker thing is far from a done deal. I spoke to some Dreamworks execs last week long distance and they really think the old voices link our new movie to old things. I disagree. I know you do too. It will be Michael Bay's decision. When I prepare my report to him about this very subject I will let you know. I believe this is the ONLY thing the fanbase is in agreement with.. He also wanted to make it clear that NO DECISION HAS BEEN MADE YET about the voice actors, EITHER WAY..
S250 has provided TFW2005 with some images of a testshot of Cybertron Menasor which you can view here.

Thanks to Bluestreak56 for posting an update regarding when the TRU UK reissue stock / Cybertron / 20th Anniversary Prime, that he reported as having arrived in the TRU warehouses on the 29th Jan (see his original post here), are likely to start springing up on the shelves. Basically Bluestreak56 explained that it will probably be 2 to 3 weeks until the toys will start to be shipped to the stores, then its up to the stores as to when they will actually put them out on the shelves. Of course, as customers, if you start asking questions, it may increase the chances that your local branches will put them out sooner rather than later.
