Simon Furman has updated his blog with an entry dedicated to issue two of the IDW Transformers comic book series Tales of the Fallen. Issue two focuses on Sideswipe and the back story which bought him to Earth on a quest for vengeance with utter disregard for the organic life he finds teeming on the planet. Such is the level of his disregard that he actually becomes the target that the other Autobots must confront. Tales of the Fallen #2 hits stores this week, September 9th in the US, 10th in the UK. Art is by Carlos Magno, who Simon describes as "a new talent and definitely one to watch!"
Head over to Simon's blog to read more details abotu the issue as well as taking a peek at the cover art.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- With more action and more
thrills, TRANSFORMERS: Revenge of the Fallen captivated audiences to
earn over $820 million at the box office and become the #1 movie of the
year in North America and throughout the world. The latest spectacular
adventure in the wildly popular TRANSFORMERS franchise will make its
highly-anticipated DVD and Blu-ray debut on October 20, 2009 in
immersive, two-disc Special Editions, as well as on a single disc DVD,
from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures in association with
Hasbro; distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment. The
eagerly-awaited home entertainment premiere will be accompanied by one
of the division's biggest marketing campaigns ever, generating
awareness and excitement of galactic proportions.
From director
Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg, in association
with Hasbro, TRANSFORMERS: Revenge of the Fallen delivers non-stop
action and fun in an all-new adventure that the whole family can enjoy.
Featuring out-of-this-world heroes in the form of the mighty AUTOBOTS
and a malevolent and powerful villain known as THE FALLEN, the film
boasts some of the most sensational--and complex--visual effects in
film history set against the backdrop of spectacular locations around
the world. In addition to audience favorites OPTIMUS PRIME and
BUMBLEBEE, the film's human stars have returned to help save the world
including Shia LaBeouf (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal
Skull), Megan Fox (How to Lose Friends & Alienate People), Josh
Duhamel ("Las Vegas"), Tyrese Gibson (Four Brothers) and John Turturro
(The Good Shepherd).
The TRANSFORMERS: Revenge of the Fallen
two-disc Blu-ray and DVD feature over three hours of in-depth,
immersive special features that let viewers further explore the world
of the legendary ROBOTS IN DISGUISE. Among the engrossing content is a
multi-chapter documentary, including interviews with the cast and crew,
that chronicles the entire making of the film from development and
design to filming in locations around the globe, working with the U.S.
military, creating the groundbreaking visual effects and putting it all
together to produce the biggest film of the year. The discs also
include an all-access featurette following renowned director Michael
Bay through an entire day, a comprehensive exploration of the
"confidential files" on a dozen of the TRANSFORMERS characters featured
in the film, multi-angle breakdowns of some of the most sensational
action sequences and much, much more.
The Blu-ray and two-disc
DVD packages also will feature augmented reality technology that will
allow owners to interact with a holographic image of OPTIMUS PRIME
utilizing their webcams and a special website. Fans will be asked to
piece together the Matrix of Leadership to bring OPTIMUS PRIME back to
life, help repair his armor and calibrate his weapons by actually
controlling his aim during target practice.
As an added bonus,
the Blu-ray will include an exclusive interactive feature that gives
viewers the ability to customize their own robot characters and get a
glimpse at a rogue robot. Out of all the available permutations, one
will unlock an exclusive interview with Michael Bay about his plans for
the next adventure.

Thanks to Alan Taylor for sending through images to make up three more Transformers toy galleries for yoru viewing pleasure. Alan's galleries consist of :-
We've uploaded 5 new galleries of Transformers figures submitted to us by members of the site. First up we have Phantomfish to thank for four Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Legends toy galleries
Sticking with the small Transformers toy theme?we also have Simon Dick to thank for submitting a gallery for one of the Worlds Smallest Transformers Chase Figures.
As we reported would be the case on Sunday, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen has now broken into the top 10 grossing movies ever within the US and we expect it will move past Star Wars Episode III into 9th slot by the end of the week. The movie, which has grossed just under $380 million within the US alone would need to pass $404 million in order to take the number 8th slot away from Spider-man.
On the worldwide listings Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is now up to 23rd position and is set to pass E.T into 22nd within the next few days (if it has not already done so as collating worldwide ticket sales is always slower than US sales). Its quiet possible that the film will find it self taking the number 20 slot by the time it stops being screening in cinemas. It is currently reported as having grossed $791.6 million worldwide
The latest issue of the Japanese hobby magazine Hyper Hobby include the first image of the Kiara Hobby 2009 exclusive recolour of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave.

As the date for Auto Assembly 2009 draws nearer, we are still adding to our extensive list of activities throughout the weekend and we are now pleased to announce that we are now being joined by our FIFTEENTH guest for the convention...
Joining us for the SUNDAY ONLY is comic artist Jon Davis-Hunt. Jon has recently joined the team working on Titan Magazine's Transformers comic as their new regular artist for their UK-originated strip, although he has produced cover artwork for them previously. He has also worked for IDW on the adaptation of Revenge Of The Fallen and was one of the artists for 2000 AD. Prior to switching to the comic industry, Jon previously worked in the video games industry.
Jon will be taking to the stage along with some of our other comic guests on Sunday
(our comic panels will be split throughout the weekend) and he will be joining the rest of our comic guests in our guest area to sign autographs and meet fans.
Jon is joining what is the biggest ever line-up of guests seen at a European Transformers event which currently includes our two guests of honour Gregg Berger (G1 Grimlock), Ian James Corlett (Cheetor), and our comic guests - Andrew Wildman (Saturday only), Simon Williams, Staz Johnson, Nick Roche, Liam Shalloo, Lew Stringer (Saturday only), Jason Cardy, Kat Nicholson, Lee Bradley, Lee Sullivan, Mike Collins, and Kris Carter. As we have three guests who will only be able to attend for a single day, the ONLY way you will get to meet all of our guests this year is to attend for the FULL weekend!
We have a very limited number of single tickets available for the Sunday, but plenty of weekend tickets available. More single day passes for Saturday may be released soon but with the convention being less than four weeks away, you need to hurry to pre-register for what will be the biggest ever Transformers convention that Europe has ever seen!
