Higher-resolution images of several previously released photos from the filming of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen from Edwards Air Force Base have surfaced courtesy of phreak_04's Photobucket account. The account also includes one previously unseen photo of the Hummer H3X used in the movie. Of note in these higher resolution images is that the Ice Cream truck appears to have an insignia on the side of the vehicle, right below the serving window. Even with the higher resolution, there is debate whether that is an Autobot or Decepticon insignia. All of the high resolution pictures can be seen by clicking on the image to the left.

These new sets focus on Transformers Animated and Universe. First up is an upgrade for Universe Sunstreaker, giving him new stickers based on G1 and detailing from the Lamborghini Gallardo. Next is an upgrade to Animated Prowl, which adds a lot of the missing details, not the least of which is quite a bit of gold trim. Lastly is a great set for Animated Ratchet that includes his old battle wound and a whole bunch of other missing details.

2005 Boards member Rquiem has received an e-mail from First4Figures in regards to whether many of the previously revealed First4Figures statues and busts will be released. Kanako Mori of First4 figures stated the following:
We’re in negotiations with Hasbro at the moment about putting out the Baroness and Ravage only. The other statues were canceled due to a lack of retailer support.
Therefore, it is possible that the Ravage and Baroness statue may still see a release but any hope for the Optimus Prime vs. Storm Shadow statue, Scourge statue, Waspinator bust, Optimus Primal bust, and others is now gone.
