Nevermore has posted over on TFW2005.com regarding some German sightings of the tail-end part of the Transformers RPM line.

"Yeah, I guess not many here care about RPMs." posts Nevermove, "Still, from what I could gather, the last wave never came out in the United States, but apparently in Asia. (Apparently they are coming out in the USA in "Speed Stars" packaging instead.)
I found these ones at a German TRU last week, and yesterday I also saw them at Real, a domestic supermarket chain. These photos were taken at the Real store in Moers.

Also, is the Speed Stars Bumblebee Track Set new?

And while I'm at it, Real also has Hunt for the Decepticons Deluxe wave 2 (Axor, Rescue Ratchet, Tuner Skids)... for a discount price of 15 instead of 20 Euros (i.e. $21 USD instead of $28 USD)."

 You can find the original post and images here on the TFW2005 boards.

In a surprising turn of events darkhorizons.com insider Zephyr has leaked the German release date for the third live action Transformers Movie, yes you read that correctly Transformers 3.  The film, which is yet to be named, is listed as being released on the 29th June 2011 (which though no real surprise is great to see)

"Transformers 3
On the upcoming release schedule for Germany, it appears that a second 'Transformers' sequel has already been scheduled for June 29th 2011." writes Garth Franklin in his blog entry on their site.

The showtimes page on TransformersAnimated.com has been updated with a new source of showtimes for the German showings of Transformers Animated. As such the page now shows more than one listing for the free-to-view channel Super RTL as well as listings for the German Pay Channel Jetix.

The page also has listings for the United States, with EST, CST, MST and PST timezone listings, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. The UK listings are out-of-date as Nick Toons feed is still passing us data from the 10th April. We have been in touch will them regarding this and will continue to chase.

Transformers Animated made its long awaited German debut today on Super TRL at 15:49 with the first part of Transform and Rollout. The episode was completed dubbed into German where its official title was Transformieren und Abfahrt - Teil 1.

TransformersAnimated.com has since been updated to include the German showtimes, using an official RTL feed for the details, on both its main page and on the dedicated Transformers Animated showtimes pages. TransformersAnimated.com now displays the official showtimes for the US (Cartoon Network), Canada (YTV), the UK (NickToons), Australia (Cartoon Network) and Germany (Super RTL) allowing fans from all over the world to find out when the next episode of will air.

Unfortunately, Nick UK have not updated their feed for some time, so there is not much information for UK fans. We have bought this up several times with Nick, and will try to push them to get this corrected.

Super RTL have issued a mini release over on their site regarding the Transformers Animated series. The site confirms the news we exclusively broke that the show would start airing in Germany on the 3rd May 2008, though the article does not mention the exact date. Towards the end of the article, it mentions that the Transformers Animated toys will be released in Germany in June 2008 and that Super-RTL will be at the German licensing show where they can be contacted for more information. Here is a copy of the release.

"Wir freuen uns Ihnen mitteilen zu können, dass SUPER RTL als Lizenzagentur zukünftig die Topmarke TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED vertreiben wird.
Ab Mai wird SUPER RTL die Serie wöchentlich am Samstag Nachmittag ausstrahlen.
Bereits ab Ende Juni werden die TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED Toys und Games von Hasbro die Regale erobern.
