In a recent interview with Den of Geek Tony Todd was quoted saying he will be returning for the third installment of the Transformers Movies:
Are you involved in Transformers 3 do you think?
Yes.
Definitely?
You want to quote me? What I was told last month, yes. But that's Hollywood!
Will Mr. Todd be reprising his role as The Fallen, or will he be an entirely new character? Discuss in our forums!

2005 Boards member Masabon, and Japanese toy blog Danny Choo have posted some images from Winter Wonder Festival 2010. With many thanks to 2005 Boards member Masabon, we have many images of the Transformers display including the big models of Animated and Movie Optimus Prime waiting to greet guests and of course the toy display. Takara Tomy's Transformers Animated line is out in full force, and thanks to these images we have our first look at the packaging for the various different toys. Deluxe class toys come packaged on handsome cards, with red backgrounds for Autobots and purple backgrounds for Decepticons. The backer depicts a faceoff between Optimus Prime and Megatron. Voyagers come in similarly color coded window boxes, while the VS sets come in an open window box to show off both toys in robot mode with their heads turned toward each other.
Check out our mirror of the images by clicking the title of this story. Do you prefer the US packaging or the Japanese packaging? Sound off with what you think on our 2005 boards by clicking the discuss button.
Update:
Masabon has provided us with an image and some more information on the Legends class Generation 1 redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Devastator. This small version of Devastator will come as a set not as individual carded releases like the movie colors release. Additionally with the new color scheme, two of the members have got new names! Hightower is now renamed to Hook, while Rampage is renamed to Bonecrusher, to match up with their Generation 1 ancestors. Overload though is still Overload, as he has no predecessor...

We reported their involvement with new projects for The Hub last November, however the news here is that like Beast Wars and other Transformers cartoons afterwards, Transformers Prime will be animated with computer graphics!
Kurtzman and Orci, who are working on a "Star Trek" sequel and the Daniel Craig starrer "Cowboys and Aliens" on the feature side, continue to serve as consulting producers on "Fringe" and are executive producers on CBS/CBS Studios' "Hawaii 5-0," which they co-wrote with Peter Lenkov, and on the "Transformers" CG-animated series for upcoming Hasbro/Discovery channel the Hub. | | Credit: Icespark of the 2005 Boards! | Views: 3,281 | | | Posted on 02-06-2010 at 06:20 PM by Shin Densetsu | 
For those of you who enjoyed the Allspark Almanac which was an indepth guide to Transformers Animated, rejoice! Jim Sorenson and crew have more were that came from! Allspark Almanac Volume 2 is confirmed! Here's what Jim had to say at Disciples of Boltax:
One of my loyal readers brought this to my attention, so I guess it's safe to share it with the world. The AllSpark Almanac II is now being solicited on Amazon.com. 220 pages, by Bill Forster and myself. I don't think I'm giving too much away to say that it will cover season 3. Here's the solicitation text:
Transformers Animated is the most whimsical Transformers series ever. The AllSpark Almanac II captures that magic with a wondrous examination of this amazing universe. This 220 page volume is packed with behind-the-scenes sketches, interesting facts, production artwork and musings from the characters themselves. Relive the thrill of the final season of Animated and learn what might have been had the show continued. Explore the metallic plains of Cybertron and meet its colorful denizens. Discover more about the action-figures that accompanied the cartoon. Hard-core fans and neophytes alike will find this an essential tome. You won't want to miss it!
Now that the cat's out of the bag, I'd love to see a massive number of preorders of this thing. The higher this baby goes on the Amazon charts, the more likely I am to be able to keep making books like this. After all, there is a whole 'nother series that's recently been announced. (The Transformers: Prime Primer? Nah, that's terrible, but I'll have plenty of time to come up with a cool title.)
For those wondering what could have been with Transformers Animated, this is thee book to get!

2005 boards member Philister and his wife were in attendance at the Nuremburg Toy Fair, and has reported the following:
The RPMs line seems to a major success and there'll be lots of new products there. Apart from at least a dozen new RPM cars I've seen, there is a new race track / play set, titled "Bumblebee's Battle Track".
Additionally a new RPM subline called "Stealth Force" was introduced. This line consists of Voyager- and Deluxe-sized vehicles. They can't transform into robots, but they do electronically fold out weapons and other technical knick-knacks. Optimus Prime and Megatron come in Voyager-size, Bumblebee in Deluxe size.
Finally, the RPM line is rounded out by a new Bumblebee car, a remote controlled one this time. Size-wise it's somewhere between Ultimate Battle BB and Human Alliance BB.
Among the "real" Transformers we saw Leader Starscream (in the new orange packaging), Seaspray and Power Core Combiner Huffer, all old news. What I hadn't seen so far, though, were the following:
- Scout class figure Hubcap, who transforms into a red muscle car
- Scout class figure Brimstone, who transforms into a blue motorbike
- Power Core combiner Team "Aerialbots", consisting of a leader figure just below Deluxe size and four team members just below Scout size.
No sign of any War for Cybertron or Animated figures, sadly.
Could other popular teams from Generation 1 such as the Constructicons or Stunticons show up in the Power Core Combiners line to complement Superion and Bruticus?

Gamestop have updated their preorder page for Transformers: War for Cybertron to add details of an exclusive downloadable content / multiplayer unlock.

Check out the preorder page here for more details.
Does the inclusion of Shockwave as an exclusive for preordering the game with Gamestop make you want to preorder the game there? Does this open the door for other characters being exclusive multiplayer unlocks for preordering at other stores? Talk about all of this, and all things War for Cybertron, in our War for Cybertron discussion forum.
