TFC Toys has posted new images of their upcoming Structor and Dr. Crank figures from the Hercules set on their
Facebook page. As Heavy Labor gets ready to start heading out, you can now get excited for the next two releases as they are shown here in delicious Decepticon black, purple and green for the first time. 2005 Board member xterry adds that the final paint on these figures has yet to be applied.
Interestingly, Structor's shovel is shown in black. Whether this is a permanent color for the figure or still awaiting paint is unknown.

Take this with a HUGE grain of salt.
Showblitz.com is reporting that Hasbro said on a Monday earnings call that they were in "active discussions" with Paramount, Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg on how to move forward with the film franchise. Sources close to the planning process tell the website it could actually be two films headed into production, a measure that can save millions because cast and crew deals only be negotiated once, among other factors. Ehren Kruger is said to have an idea for the next installments that the studio likes. Shia Leabouf is still out and, once again, Jason Statham has been discussed yet again. Statham was
previously rumored to be Lebouf's replacement and later dismissed by Michael Bay himself.
Again, take this with a HUGE grain of salt. We'll keep you posted as more information rolls in. For the time being, sound off in the discussion thread.

From what we found out, nothing much was told at the New York Comic Con 2011 Hasbro [General] Panel. But we sure got some juicy detail from the
NYCC Transformers: Prime Panel and the
Hasbro Transformers Panel.
TFW2005 Member Soundwave9 is bringing us his recorded video of the Hasbro Transformers Panel and we thank him for doing it on behalf of the fans.
And with it, it's time to pack our bags and head home. New York Comic Con 2011 is officially over. We do hope that you enjoyed our coverage. We had some technical difficulties but managed to put the word out to the fans.

That was an enjoyable Season’s Finale! Season 2 is not that far away. Today at New York Comic Con 2011 the team behind Transformers: Prime teased us with things yet to come.
We’ve heard of Tony Todd’s
involvement with Transformers: Prime before and on today’s panel we received the confirmation that he is indeed voicing Dreadwing.
Also, celebrity actor Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Saving Private Ryan, Serenity) will voice a Transformer. At the moment we do not know exactly what character he will be voicing for.
Quite a lot from the panel are considered as Spoilers. Therefore, take a look at the juicy news… after the jump.
