Bumblebee visits Sydney in Australia to promote the launch of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen on DVD and Blu Ray! This life sized model of Bumblebee stands 5 metres tall, weighs nearly three tonnes, and took LA Special Effects firm FXperts about six weeks to build. It is being displayed as a part of a mini exhibition which also includes several pieces of original concept art, including concepts for Alice (here simply called "Pretender: Hot Chick") and an early concept of "The" Devastator. The pictures of the display were taken by Optimus 1 of the Australian Transformers fan site Ozformers.
Updated with more images!

Paramount Pictures and Kingston have teamed up to deliver movies on flash memory devices, and the first movie to receive the USB release treatment is none other than Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. Revenge of the Fallen is available now on a 4GB Kingston DataTraveler I USB drive priced $29.99. If successful, both companies will expand the scheme to cover future movies on a range of Kingston's devices.
Unfortunately for Transformers fans, it's just a regular USB drive and not a robot in disguise, nor does it contain a cool little Ravage virtual pet to sniff around your desktop in search of Allspark fragments.

In a recent interview with IGN, Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have explained that their reason for passing on writing the third installment in the franchise is due to time constraints. They explain that they could not do a third movie due to other commitments and would not want any project they are involved in to suffer due to taking on too much work. The interview reveals that this is also why Transformers 3 writer Ehren Kruger was brought on to help with Revenge of the Fallen.
Check out the full interview above, which also talks about the duo's work on Hercules and Xena through to their current work on Fringe and their upcoming film Cowboys and Aliens.

Hasbro today reported a strong third quarter performance, Yahoo news reports. Hasbro's 3Q profit rose 8.8 percent compared to last year, and the profits are linked largely to toys sales tied to GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, alongside a selective rollback of the 3% price rise introduced this year to offset the rising cost of oil. The article goes on to note that Hasbro's main competitor, Mattel, posted a loss last week, and that all signs are in place for a strong 4Q holiday season performance.

There's no denying that there is plenty of material in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen that lends itself to parody, so it should come as no surprise at all that a Rifftrax has been announced. You can check out the preview page by clicking on the link above.

A Cleveland family really wants to win a KIA Soul, and has built a Halloween decor for their lawn that really stands out and appeals to us. Do a 12 foot Bumblebee and 17 foot Optimus Prime statues fancy any other fans out there? In their own words:
This year for our Halloween display, we built two Transformers for our front yard. One is Optimus Prime, 17ft tall and the other is Bumblebee, 12ft tall. We live in Cleveland, ohio and there are always a ton of people coming over taking pictures and asking about how they were made. They are made from wood and foam and it took 6 months to build Optimus and 2 months to build Bumblebee. This is a display you won't want to miss!

Misinformation campaign? Truth? Who knows, as it's still early in the Transformers 3 rumor mill. Entertainment website Gossipcop has recently reported the following:
A new rumor claims Megan Fox faces the “distinct possibility” of a “gory death scene” in a third “Transformers” movie, thanks to her outspoken comments about how difficult she found working for director Michael Bay.
Perez Hilton and others are picking up an In Touch report that says Fox’s character might be killed off early in the next sequel and swapped with a new female lead. Supposedly, according to the magazine’s “source,” Bay is “very quietly looking for her replacement.”
Very quietly. So quiet, in fact, no one can confirm it’s actually happening. And you know why? Because a rep for Fox tells Gossip Cop the story is “not true.”
Hilton concluded his inaccurate regurgitation by saying, “You dug your own grave on that one, Foxy.”
If there’s one thing Perez doesn’t know, it’s how to dig.

Mere days after Transformers 3 has been confirmed for a 2011 release, the rumor mill has started up and given us our very first Transformers 3 rumor. Coming from WorstPreviews, it concerns leading lady Megan Fox. We won't spoil it for you here on the frontpage, so if you want to know what it is, click on the title of this story to read about it after the jump. Be sure to have a pinch of salt to hand!
Is this true or is this Michael Bay getting an early start with the misinformation campaign? Considering Megan Fox's recent, and highly visible, comments and the responses that they have elicited, anything might be possible.
