T Sina China has updated it's website with a listing of a Red Dark of the Moon Ratchet toy.

• Molds to create robot-mode and alt-mode models of
  
  • Optimus Prime
  • Bumblebee
  • Ironhide
  • Starscream
• 4 cans of Play-Doh
• Workshop part to "transform" the models

­Hasbro have posted images of Transformers Dark of the Moon Cyberverse Legion Class Leadfoot, Commander Class Blackout, Legion Class Crowbar and Bolt Bumblebee.

The profile state

CROWBAR infiltrates and observes AUTOBOT tactical movements with unmatched stealth and intellect. He has been trained in the most brutal DECEPTICON attack strategies for the unlikely event he is discovered.

BUMBLEBEE charges into battle, engine roaring, and ready to turn DECEPTICONS into scrap. His dogged bravery is idolized by the AUTOBOTS and feared by his enemies!

LEADFOOT and his cohorts drive fast, have a thing for loud weapons and maintain a strong dislike for DECEPTICONS. But LEADFOOT is not all flash and show; while on CYBERTRON he was called a genius weapon designer!

Together with SCORPONOK, this massive DECEPTION destroyer seeks out his leader’s enemies and annihilates them. BLACKOUT leaves no witnesses to his passing, preferring to destroy everything around him rather than leave anything behind that might benefit the enemy.

TFW2005 member Fabermax has posted images of the Transformers Dark of the Moon Cyberverse Wave Two Powerglide toy.

This is what he has to say about the Transformers toy.

So on to a quick review. After opening him, I will say some of the hype died down. He still is a cool homage to PG, but this figure needed to be a deluxe! Plain and simple. He is just too small in my opinion. As you can see in the pic with Cliff, CJ towers over the lil guy. And as some had speculated the head DOES NOT turn. The transformation of the front of the plane doesn't allow it.

Speaking of transformation, the plane mode by far outshines the robot mode. The alt just screams G1 Powerglide, much more than the Universe version does. Again, why oh why couldn't this have been a deluxe. The Transformation of this guy is pretty slick too. Although he resembles the A-10's from the Universe and RotF Aerialbots (comparison pics to come later) his transformation is more complex, and that's cool considering he is such a small bot. Think Breacher. One additional minor gripe I have is that the colors are more maroon than red. Powerglide was clearly a red plane, and this guy is more of the same color as Warpath instead of Universe PG's bright vibrant red.

The missle/gun gimmick (i didnt take pics of it yet) didn't come out that well to me. Once all the missiles combine it kind of looks like a...bunch of missiles stuck together to look like a gun. More details once I take pics.

Overall he's an ok figure, not as hype as I was when I saw him in package vs opening him, especially when holding him up to Cliffjumper, but some will be ok with that since he was a minicon, but for me the minicon size has been re-established due to TF CHUG, and they missed the mark on him again. Universe was too big and now DotM is too small.

Amazon.com has put up a listing for the Transformers Dark of the Moon Comic Adaptation Trade Paperback from IDW. The page includes a "Search Inside This Book" feature which shows extracts from the third Transformers Movie.

Be warned that this container heavy plot and character spoilers

It's suprising that Amazon were allowed to publish this, if it is indeed close to the movie story.

Many thanks go to Activision for allowing us to attend the special conference covering both Transformers: Dark of the Moon The Game and Spider-Man: Edge of Time.

You will find a summary of the information gathered from the Transformers Dark of the Moon The Game preview as well as our exclusive interview with Sean Miller from High Moon Studios.

This was­ the first time that the three Transformers moons were together, Transformers At The Moon, Transformers Dark of the Moon and High Moon.

We hope you enojy.

­­As promised in the previous news story here are a collection of images that were either sent out by Hasbro Inc or are screen grabs that I have taken from the character section of the Vector Sigma database on the new Dark O­f The Moon themed Transformers.com.  The entries include new bios for many of the characters as well as whole new characters such as Steeljaw.

The Vector Sigma database contains a few images of most of the characters as well as some image and text on the various time periods of Cybertronian history, with-in the Movie-verse as well as a short glossary of terms.

Hasbro update updated Transformers.com with their Vector Sigma database.  This Flash area contains information on the timeline, characters and glossary from Transformers Dark of the Moon including some small images and details on the alt modes  For example it reveals that Soundwave will be a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

Hasbro have also sent out a massive of new stock images for the toys, so whilst I collate everything they have sent together with what is on the website you may want to go search yourself

­This news article follows on from last nights non-news news story where I reported in regards to Hasbro's web document staff re-uploading the Leader Class Starscream instructions, possibly by mistake, to the Hasbro Document website and the earlier story about Hasbro adding then quickly removing a load of Transformers Dark of the Moon instruction sheets.

In the early hours of the morning, UK time, Hasbro re-added all of the missing Transformers Dark of the Moon instructions as well as some other instruction sheets that were also removed.  In total 37 entries were re-touched by Hasbro, with them re-adding the PDF files.  No new entries were actually added though.

We have mirrored those instruction sheets as many of them have since been removed, again, by Hasbro from their own website (including the listings in some cases).
