Evening guys

It's been mentioned already in the UK sightings thread but I thought I would confirm with some pictures DOTM TOYS ARE OUT IN THE UK!

I found them in Sainsburys but there have been sightings in other stores

I found voyagers (Prime, Megatron, Ironhide) Deluxes (Lots of Bumblebees!, Starscream, Roadbuster, Crankcase, Ratchet) and loads of the lil Cyberverse toys (They also had the larger Cyberverse Prime's and Megatrons)

Prices all gone up sadly, Voyagers £22.99, Deluxe £12.99 and Cyberverse £4.99. The bigger Cyberverse were £7.99 I think

Pictures below, happy hunting!!!

Thanks to Toys R Us Hong Kong, we can now all read the profile (bio) for Transformers: Dark of the Moon Voyager Class Fireburst Optimus Prime

OPTIMUS PRIME® fights with the utmost valor, courage and power. His dominance over the DECEPTICONS® is due to countless centuries of battle experience, a mighty armament and a virtuous Spark. Even so, widespread threats to the AUTOBOTS® and OPTIMUS PRIME still exist - there is no time to rest, there is no time for defeat, there is only time for victory!

Thanks to Duckstar we can reveal that Toys R Us will be stocking the Transformers Dark of the Moon figures from next Monday, the 16th of May 2011.  Here is what he has said.

I was wondering if the UK release date was the same as the US over here. I emailed Toys R Us to see when they would be out. This is what I was emailed back:

Dear Mr Hughes, Thank you for your recent e-mail. I can confirm that the release date for the range in the UK is also 16/05/11.

I hope that this is of help to you.

Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

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.
