IGN: Why did you decide not to do Transformers 3?

Kurtzman: I think it was largely a matter of the fact that we have a couple other movies on their feet and some television things happening now, and didn't feel we could responsibly do it and give it what it needed. Cowboys & Aliens is a very full time job right now and we should be focusing on that, because it took awhile to get it on its feet.

Orci: And the second one we didn't think we could responsibly do, and that's why we were so happy to team up with Ehren Kruger, who was amazing. This time, I think even teaming up with him, we wouldn't be able to give him what would be fair. And it's really a matter of time, but again, the best idea should win, and they need an idea now. We don't have one right now, so…

Great news for those with a Smyths store near them as the Transformers line has been reduced further.  Deluxes are now £9.74,  Superion is £21.47,  Leaders class toys are £33.74,  Voyagers stand at £17.24 and Devastator is reduced to £74.99.

KOToys.com have posted an image gallery of the upcoming Transformers Revenge of the Fallen figure Blowpipe.  Blowpipe is a blue and grey recolour of Transformers Movie Dropkick.  You can view the images here.

With the initial work just starting on Transformers 3 Hollywood gossip magazine In Touch is allegedly reporting that Michael Bay is considering writing Megan out of the series, via a  gory death scene, within the first few frames of Transformers 3 and replacing her with another young actress.  Apparently an insider told them “Michael’s pretty much discovered Megan and now he’s very quietly looking for her replacement. He hasn’t decided if he’s going to kill her off in the next movie, but he just wants to be prepared..

This story was picked up by HollyScoop and from that point it has started to spread across the internet like wildfire.  However what has not been shown is when the quote was made.  Most likely this quote was made after the "open letter" sent by three crew members to Nelson, the administration of Michael Bay's website.

­Issue 5 of the Titan Magazines UK Transformers comic, Transformers 2.5 as they call it, goes on sale tomorrow and as such Titan have sent through some images showing the cover, the poster that comes with the comic (the cover art again), as well as two panels from the story "Reversal of Fortune".

Since the recent announcement that Wal*Mart have the exclusive rights to release the iMax version of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen on Blu-Ray and DVD and news that Nelson, admin of Michael Bay's website would be selling the DVD to international sellers which excluded certain countries including the UK, we have been in contact with ASDA to try to confirm which version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen they would be releasing within the UK.  ASDA are, of course, owned by Wal*Mart.  After some confusion their support staff told me that "The version that we are selling is the same version as the wall mart one" (yes with that typo).  What this means is that UK fans that wish to own the full cut of Revenge of the Fallen should make sure that they pick up a copy of the film from ASDA.

The BBC have been busy rating the DVD and Blu-Ray content for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen as well as the next edition of Transformers Animated.

In a BIG gesture to international fans Nelson, admin of Michael Bay's website and forum, is selling the Walmart exclusive release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to International Transformers fans!  However you can only order a copy if you live within one of the following countries:-

Residents of other countries, which includes the United Kingdom are not able to take up this offer.

UK fans will probably ask why.  Why are they being excluded when Ireland is being included within the list?  Well the answer is probably a simple one ... Walmart owns ASDA, therefore the DVD is likely to be released within the UK, at some-point as an ASDA exclusive.  However we have been, as yet, unable to have this officially confirmed by either ASDA or Paramount Pictures but we are working on it.

Below is a summary of various new images that hit the internet yesterday for several upcoming figures.
