New seibertron.com member "golf123morgan" has told us that he found both Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Skywarp and Ramjet at ASDA UK. This would make the UK the second non-US market after Canada to receive these toys.
The price is 25 pounds.
ASDA does not list them directly on their website it just lists the Voyager assortment with stock photos of ROTF Voyager Optimus Prime, Ironhide and Starscream. But the thing about this listing is that the listing marks them as "exclusive to ASDA". And as the Voyager assortment isn't exclusive to ASDA but on general retail in the UK we assume that this is confirmation for these two figures being available.
As we have no sort of photographic proof we treat this as a rumour so take this as a grain of salt.

It appears...that City Commander may be going back into production. Rumors have been coming from China and SE Asia about the possibility of a re-release of last year's City Commander set.

There are NO confirmations yet, only rumor. All the same, this info may be reason enough to hold off on any expensive purchase or a grab at the substandard KO version.

Details and quote from the Singapore Sightings thread over at TFW:

It will be an improved version of the existing mold:

- Added Chrome to the toy
- Additional weapon accessory.

I do not yet know how the chromed version would look like and what the new accessory is, but watch this space, for I will be posting more information on it.

For those newbies who have not even heard of the City Commander or how it looks like and starts to ask for pictures, here is the previous version, courtesy of Seibertron.com:



The final price is not yet know for now, as I am still in discussions on the pricing.

Deposit is set at $50, usual transfer to my account:- 004-65523-0, POSB Savings Account. Rest assured that when we have met the quota number of pre-orders, the price will surely be set lower.

Members who are interested please drop a transfer the the above mentioned account and with a new rule, drop me an EMAIL with your name, forum id, handphone number, fund transfer details for verifications in the format below:

Full name:

This is due to the fact that one joker transferring me money without having inform me anything whatsoever and just adding his name on the threads in my previous MOs, resulting in me scrambling to tally everything up again. You know who you are, if you like me to list you down, I will be glad to do so.

New members are welcomed to join this Mass Order, but I REALLY do not wish you joining the forum specifically just for this. So do interact more with the other members. We do not bite.

You know what's better then an obscure figure that's been repainted right off the bat? When that figure gets a second REALLY OBSCURE repaint!

It's a wonder that Disney Label Mickey Mouse is getting his second repaint, and an interesting choice at that. The original mouseketeer will be getting dressed up for Halloween this year twice over by dressing his Optimus Prime Costume up with haunting red eyes, spider webs in his wings, googly eyes on his feet, and a jack-o'-lantern looking torso.

No... seriously.



What's next? Maybe a Kingdom Hearts Keyblade themed Micky or a Minnie Mouse remold? Only time may tell...

With any massive production, like Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, there are bound to be some errors in the final product. According to MovieMistakes.com there are over 40, making it the most mistake ridden movie of 2009.

With the film Angels & Demons pulling a distant second with 19 errors, its hard to justify the large amount of movie mishaps, but some of these seem to be more of personal point of view issue than an actual mistake.

With some of them humorous and others just down right silly, the list continues to grow so check it out by clicking here.

Sources have tipped us off on a possible repaint or remold of Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Ratchet, entitled 'Alien Form Ratchet'. A listing on Play.com (UK) gives us insight on this possibility.

The listing can be found here; Alien Form Ratchet

Alien Form Ratchet would be based on the original mold, 2007 Movie Ratchet, who was also made to make a G1-deco styled Ratchet entitled, Rescue Ratchet, and a more movie-accurate, metallic finish, Premium Ratchet, an exclusive to Best Buy.

Take this with a grain of salt, as it could simply mean the Wave 2 Ratchet that has already been released under the RotF tag. However that was released well into May and June, while this listing shows this figure arriving in July.

New images surfacing offer us a look at a possible redeco of Cybertron Leobreaker. This should be taken with a grain of salt, but if it's indeed legit, this figure would likely be a homage to Lio Convoy from the Japanese exclusive Beast Wars II toy line. To view the images, click here.

Just hours before the worldwide release of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen hit the theatres, Transformers movie scribes Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman chatted with i09.com about certain robots being anatomically correct and returning for the 3rd film.


Although they couldn't remember the origins of Devastator's testicles. Orci thought that Bay had demanded "a big pair of testicles." But Kurtzman reminded him that it was actually co-writer Ehren Krueger's idea, when the three of them were holed up for a few months writing the script after the writers' strike. "The testicles are in the script," Kurtzman said. "Well, it's a construction machine, so you of course have wrecking balls. And Michael, immediately, of course, loved it."

The interview then goes on to cover the challenges the writers had to endure just to make the script for the second installment of the Transformers movie franchise and shut down rumors that they may not be returning for the third film. Check out the complete interview by clicking here.
