We've got another great new Transformers Dark of the Moon toy here for you today,
courtesy of ebay seller kiditoys. Okay, maybe "new" is a slight exaggeration - it is a redeco of
Landmine, from the 2007 Movie line, in the style of a Lunar rover. There's only the one vehicle mode picture for the time being.
We also don't know where this toy might be coming out. Presumably given the lack of a Mech Tech accessory, it might be another store exclusive release like the
Voyager Class Starscream redeco we saw at the weekend. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

Shout! Factory have sent out an email, confirming that yes indeedy, they are going to be releasing two new Transformers DVD box sets - Beast Wars, and The Takara Collection: Headmasters. Yes, the Japanese only continuation of Generation 1 Transformers is finally coming to DVD in the US! HEAD ON!!!
Transforming The Beast & Headmasters
OK, Transformers fans. This is what you’ve been waiting for. We have officially secured the rights to bring you additional Transformers DVDs. Later this year, we’ll release two 4-disc sets: Transformers Beast Wars and Transformers Takara Collection: Headmasters. <insert “woohoos” ahd “heck yeahs” here> and complete series collections. This is the first time the Headmasters series is available in the U.S., and it all came together because you asked for it . . . at Comic-Con, Bot-Con and through our site. We’ll have more details as we get closer to releasing them, but we wanted to end rumor and speculation with an official confirmation here.Picture shown at left is the cover to the Metrodome Headmasters DVD set, which was released in the UK and featured both the hilariously bad English dub, and Japanese series with subtitles.

Nelson; the administrator of the Official Michael Bay Website
has updated the site to let fans in on some information.
First of all, Mr. Michael Bay has been filming some Pick-up scenes for Transformers: Dark of the Moon, very recently. In the film industry “
Pick-up Scenes” are small, relatively minor shots filmed or recorded after the fact to augment footage already shot.
To clarify matters more, Nelson says that it had nothing to do with the recent Space Shuttle Discovery Launch.
Also, we have a sad news to share as well. According to S4TE, Transformers 3 Production Office has been burgled.
Nelson says…“
Burglars broke into the production offices of the movie. Federal authorities have been called in due to the sensitive nature of the burglary.”
Finally, this is an update to our recent News Article “
Empire Magazine Features Sentinel Prime And Optimus Prime From Transformers: Dark Of The Moon”. TFW2005 Member TheSpacebridge
has sent us a couple of High Resolution Scans from the images inside. Thank You, Sir!

An update from Botcon for you all now. For those of you who missed out on the first two official convention hotel blocks, a third block has now been added. The third hotel is the Pasadena Courtyard hotel, just six blocks walk away from the convention center. The block has been enlarged by the Botcon staff to ensure everyone can get a room - but with Botcon getting more popular every year, why take the chance? Head on over to
the official Botcon homepage for more information.
Also, remember how in years past there was much gnashing of teeth and angst about getting the coveted first 100 pin? Well, that is now a thing of the past! This year, rather than the first 100 registrants getting a pin, it is going to be a "first day" registration pin. So if you register within the first 24 hours after registration goes live, you'll get the Botcon 2011 commemorative pin.
There was also a brief update on registration - it's not yet live as some last minute venue issues are being resolved. Something special in the works, in the process of being finalized? We'll know soon enough - and we will let you know right here on the TFW2005 frontpage once registration is available.

TFW2005 Boards Member Shockwaved brings us scans from the latest Empire Magazine. Guess who’s on the cover… It’s Sentinel Prime and the “
all-new” Optimus Prime.
Inside the magazine (who once
praised this very site for uncovering the Title of Transformers 3) are some scenes from the movie and Spoilers.
Take a look at the images (big thanks, Shockwaved) and spoilers (Thanks to knook), After the jump.
Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon will hit theaters on 1st of July, 2011.
