Included in the recent announcement regarding Shout Factory's upcoming Generation One DVD releases is a curious bit of information with regard to the DVD release of Revenge of the Fallen, set to be released in theaters in less than a month. Both press releases regarding those DVD's contain the following sentence:

The Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen feature film, directed by Michael Bay, is in theatres June 26, 2009. The DVD arrival in stores in Fall '09 will start the second wave of the Transformers frenzy.

If true, this would more or less follow the same path from theaters to DVD set by the first film, whose DVD release was in October of 2007 after it's successful summer theatrical run. As always, rumors of this nature should be taken with a grain of salt.

More information will be posted as it is announded.

New info has been posted regarding another figure set for the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toy line. Junior of TFW2005 has posted some new details regarding a Gathering at Nemesis set that has been listed in TRU computers. Here's what he had to share:

I came across an interesting listing under #873581 called Transformers Gathering at Nemesis in the TRU system. At a price point of around $50, I would assume this isn't Robot Heroes, but your guess in as good as mine.

Also, it seems we will be getting a few exclusive for later in the year including Whirl and Bludgeon. Not sure whether this is a continuation of Universe or some movie repaints.

We'll keep you posted on more details as they become available.

Seibertron.com member dragons has posted some info regarding new images from Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. The images show the actors at different points of the film with Megan Fox being a focal point. One of the images shows John Turturro with the Shia LaBeouf and Fox at what appears to be the United States Air Forces infamous "Boneyard" with Shia appearing to be talking to a Transformer. This could be the scene in which we are introduced to Jetfire.

The LA Times have followed up their previous story on Michael Bay and ROTF with a second article.

This second article focuses more on Bay himself, his style of filming, and the processes he uses to get the most out of his cast and crew, while also providing tidbits of information regarding the Transformers sequel.

Just like the first film, it would seem that Bay will be making the final edits hours before the film debuts, with Bay stating "This one, is barely going to make it to theaters."

Bay also discusses his 12 hour days of filming, and being the first director to be given permission to film on the Giza pyramid in 30 years.

KOToys.com has posted a new set of images to their site of the “Wonderfest”* Classics/Henkei Black Convoy. The gallery contains a lot of comparison images between the Black version and the SDCC Nemesis Prime along with shots of him with the Shadow Commander trailer/armor. KOToys board admin GenZhao also indicates that apparently these are in production now meaning we should probably be bracing our wallets for yet another Henkei Exclusive release.

*A correction to my news post the other day: Black Convoy was apparently never released at Wonderfest last year as an exclusive.

The LA Times have posted an article about a recent visit to one of Michael bay's editing studios.

While doing a good job at only giving brief run-downs of the scenes previewed (many of which have been glimpsed in part in the various trailers), there are still spoilers a plenty regarding both characters and storyline, so be warned if you are trying to remain spoiler free.

Bay revealed to the Times two voice actors providing character voices for Revenge of the Fallen, while one: Frank Welker is already public knowledge, the other Tom Kenny (Transformers Animated Starscream) is a new name to be associated with the film. While not stating which character they will be playing, Welker has been more or less confirmed as playing Soundwave, there has been no comment on whose voice/voices Kenny will be providing.

Bay also talks about the casting of main characters Sam and Mikaela, and how the cast has grown closer as a result of the first film.

Seibertron.com member s250 has posted a image and gave us a titbit of information. He states that just recently the assembly lines of a Has/Tak factory has seen a run of Energon Shockblast figures. But in the original Energon colors so it's not a repaint.
Is this a 25th anniversary Energon Shockblast/Shockwave?



As the only confirmation we have is a photo we should tell you to take this with a grain of salt.
