Seibertron.com member dragons has informed us that he has been informed by an Toys 'R' Us employee that the Human Alliance listing in their system has been marked with an "X".

This might mean that the Human Alliance line might be canceled, or more likely be released under a different name.

As this is just a rumor take this with a pinch of salt, we'll keep you updated on this matter.

S250, famous for obtaining early production samples of Transformers, has recently laid his hands on a new redeco of Energon Downshift. The figure itself is predominately blue and appears to be cast in plastic, rather than painted, adding to the legitimacy. To see it for yourself, click here. Worth mentioning is that he bears a resemblance to Action Masters Slicer.

Recently we have reported that Takara Tomy has a "small plan" for this year to commemorate Transformers G1:2010.

When we reported the news on Masterpiece MP-4S Convoy Sleep Version, at the same time Takara Tomy has also created a new webpage for Transformers 2010.
In this dedicated webpage, we can see that Takara Tomy still has 3 more products in the bag.

Ray from Robotkingdom, our valued sponsor, has sent us an update that there will be a repaint version of Unicron, with a new remold head.

Robotkingdom has also opened the pre-order page for this Japan Universe Version Unicron, although no images are available at the moment.

Transformers collector and also Energon Pub member s250 has updated his tweeter blog with the following speculation:

"Another Unicron repaint release in September?
Is it part of TakaraTomy 2010 project?
So 1st Sleep Convoy, 2nd OP&Rodimus, 3rd Unicron, 4th MP Rodimus????"

We still do not have any official confirmation on this, so treat this a pinch of salt.
Head over to our thread to discuss and give your opinion on this rumor.

UPDATE - Debunked!

The latest news coming out of the rumor mill is that Michael Bay is filming Transformers 3 in Guam. This is according to ComicBookMovie, as they seem to have an insider report from an airforce member stationed at Andersen AFB. This person says that....

We all know how much Michael Bay loves to use the military in his movies and Transformers 3 will be no different. But this time he is coming to Guam and Andersen AFB. I'm an Airman in the worlds greatest air, space and cyberspace force on Guam. I received an email stating that Dreamworks is looking for 20 airmen for Andersen to be extras.

Remember to take this with a grain of salt, as a rumor is a rumor. It is possible that Transformers 3 Filming Crew has travelled to Guam, as we have not heard much from Michael Bay recently. However we won't know the truth until Michael Bay decides to state anything. Till then..

RUMOR: Possible Upcoming Glyph toy?

A poster by the board name of rioryo at ACToys has posted a few interesting images, the images are of what seems to be a 'Glyph' repaint of the Classics Bumblebee mold. The original Glyph was an exclusive for a convention way back in 2002. She was a repaint of the original Bumblebee mold.

While it is yet still unconfirmed what line this repaint will be part of, it is most certainly a TakaraTomy product and might be part of ether the Henkei or Gentei line due to its chromed engine block.

Click here to see all images.

Glyph's Tech Spec:

"One of the final survivors of a doomed AUTOBOT exploratory mission, GLYPH has spent several hundred years stranded on a world that has become, for her, not unlike an immense science experiment. A natural researcher and forensic scientist, GLYPH's advanced hermeneutic circuitry allows her to analyze and decipher even the most cryptic of patterns and language structures. Exceptionally bright and intellectual, GLYPH maintains a nearly manic attentiveness to detail. Fascinated by the sheer complexity of alien cultures and their histories, GLYPH's eye for even the most obscure of minutiae has become unmatched among her colleagues. While highly skilled and intelligent, GLYPH's robot form is neither particularly strong or durable."

Rumor: Transformers Animated Toyline - Gone For Good?

We've had a lot of rumors this month, and another one has come out of the pipes. While rumors tend to bring happiness along with them, this one has the opposite effect. We regretfully inform everyone that Hasbro might have just shut down the Transformers Animated toy line for good. As reported by TFormers, one of their members got a response from Hasbro in regards to Transformers Animated inquiries. This was the response.

Thank you for contacting Hasbro, Inc. regarding the Transformers Animated Blackout and Thundercracker. We appreciate your interest in our company and products.

Regrettably, both products have recently been discontinued. We are, therefore, unable to assist you in identifying retail markets which may still have this product in inventory nor do we have any available for direct sale.

Although they are no longer in our current product line, you may still be able to find them in retail stores. Some of the retail stores that carry Hasbro products include Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Kmart, and Target.

We apologize for any inconvenience. We hope you and your family will enjoy Hasbro products for many years to come.

Now what exactly does this mean for us? Animated has been discontinued since the spring of 2009. The remaining figures we were anticipating were meant to be store exclusives, much like Toys 'R' Us with Arcee and Cybertron Mode Ratchet. Does this also mean that the presumed store exclusives have been discontinued?

The remaining Hasbro Animated figures are listed below.

Thundercracker
Blackout
Rodimus Minor
Ironhide
Vortex Blurr
Fugitive Waspinator
Wingblade Optimus Prime
Toxic Oil Slick
Mudbuster Bulkhead
Hydrodive Bumblebee
Golfire Grimlock

Whether there is truth to this rumor or simply a misunderstanding, we'll be the first ones to update everyone on the official confirmation. What's your opinion on the situation? Feel free to sound off your opinion in the Energon Pub!

Iranian and Ukranian armies and NASA to play roles in Transformers 3 storyline?

Transformers 3 may still be over a year away but it seems as if more and more details are coming out by the day. The following is courtesy of superherohype.com.

SuperHeroHype received the following spy report on the Transformers 3 production today along with pics!

Hey, SHH... Wanted to give you a heads-up that my travels through Los Angeles found me on the soundstages of Playa Vista where Favreau shot the first Iron Man, Cameron did some work on Avatar and Bay shot both of the Transformers films.

Well, Transformers 3 is gearing up there. I've attached pics of the sign I stumbled upon at the warddrobe department just to offer a little proof. When I peeked inside, posters for both Transformers were hanging up and clothing racks had tons of military gear hanging from them. Above one rack it read "Iranian Army." Above another rack it read "Ukranian Army" and above a third rack it referred to "Matt" ("Matt's costumes").

There's some big stuff being built here, man. One end of the soundstage had some wooden structures. Another area they were chopping away at styrofoam to create a rocky terrain. And the crew was rolling along something that looked like a giant gear. I breezed on by the "model" shop and, while I couldn't get a good look inside, there were a lot of moon reference photos and NASA moon lander pics. I could have sworn I saw a Transformer, again, didn't get a good look.

There you have it...! Transformers 3 is in full swing!
