It:s taken quiet a while but Transformers has finally shifted Ben 10 off the top of the Action Figure charts (although it still lags behind it as an overall toy property in the UK).
Time to celebrate Hasbro UK - why not spend a little money and send some staff to Auto Assembly, which in on next week (shameless plug).

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

Transformers legendary writer Simon Furman has updated his blog with an entry on IDWs next Transformers movie universe mini-series, Transformers: Nefarious. You can read a copy of the entry below, but visit Simon's blog to view he cover and to leave him and comments and feedback
"the news is out, my next series for IDW will be Transformers: Nefarious,
a six-issue movie continuity mini-series that picks up from the end of
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and introduces an all-new adversary
for the Transformers (Autobot and Decepticon) in the shape of
a mysterious, far-reaching and very powerful group of humans with
access to enhanced Transformer-tech and maybe even the odd actual
Transformer! Seeds for the new series will be sown in the final Tales
of the Fallen issue, Ravage, and he (along with Soundwave) play key
roles in the unfolding drama. Expect lots more character depth and
exploration for both. Actually, make that all characters. We’re going
to be highlighting some Autobots and Decepticons that did and didn’t
make it into the second movie and many, just maybe, throwing in the odd
new character too! Plus, we’ll be exploring the post-movie NEST/Autobot
human alliance in more detail too! For more info check out the IGN
interview I did recently (see link in update below). Transformers:
Nefarious kicks in shortly after Tales of the Fallen #6: Ravage. Don’t
miss either!"

At the SDCC it was announced that IDW will be releasing a follow-up story ot Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen entitled Transformers: Nefarious. Well ComicsContinuum.com have a little snippet of information which they have published regarding the series.
Transformers: Nefarious will be a six-issue mini-series, written by Simon Furman, with art by Carlos Magno. It is scheduled to launch early next year. The story will follow a shadowy organization with devious designs on the Transformers. "The latest Transformers movie added several very cool elements to the tapestry -- Soundwave and Ravage being my favorites -- and we¹re keen to explore them," said Andy Schmidt, IDW's Transformers editor. "Our story tracks a new organization with 'nefarious' designs on the robots in disguise. Their technology gives them a tactical advantage not yet seen in the films." Brian Rood will provide variant covers for the mini-series.
