Reports are coming in of a Transformers: Dark of the Moon trailer (previously unseen) being played before Zack Snyder’s Suckerpunch. Customizer frenzy_rumble informed us via
News Tip that there is a reporting of a trailer running in certain theaters.
We are yet to confirm this information, till then treat it as a rumor only. Theaters may or may not play the trailer if we take previous situations (Announcement Trailer with Narnia) into account.
If TFW2005 Members are going out to see the movie released today, let us in on whether the new trailer is live or not.

Believe it or not Ken Jeong is a Doctor. Yep, it’s true. But he is famous for treating us with the best medicine in the world… “
Laughter”. If you have enjoyed Hangover, then you know who this guy is. (Well actually you can’t take the image off your mind can you? It’s burned to your eyes).
Well, Ken Jeong is in the next Michael Bay Transformers Movie; Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Recently he spoke a little bit about his experience on the Transformers 3 set with CraveOnline.
CraveOnline: Do you get a cool role in Transformers 3?
Ken Jeong: Yeah, it’s a small role in Transformers but yeah. I had an out of body experience working on that one because I just couldn’t believe I was [there]. Still, that was not a thing where oh, I’m going to be a part of a blockbuster franchise like Transformers 3 or even now Hangover 2 for that matter. So I can’t believe I’m a part of these franchises in any way. It was amazing. Michael Bay is brilliant and it’ll blow your mind.
CraveOnline: I’ve been on Michael Bay sets including Transformers 1. He keeps things so riled up, I see how it can be misconstrued, but it’s high energy.
Ken Jeong: He doesn’t like things to wait and neither do I. You want to keep moving, you want to keep the pace, you want to keep the energy. That I respond to because Todd’s like that too. Because you want that comedic energy to stay fresh. Especially on movies when there’s huge budgets and huge effects, you worry about spontaneity being lost. Yeah, Michael Bay just kept everything going.Read the rest of the interview at

Amazon and E-Hobby have both updated their product pages for the upcoming Movie Universe Dual Model Kit Optimus Prime and Bumblebee with images showing off the resin hardcopy prototypes of the kits. Both are as expected supremely detailed and incredibly poseable with optional attachment parts (Optimus' swords are removeable and I assume Bumblebee's arm cannon will be interchangeable too - and check out Optimus' hands, he has articulated fingers!)
Check out the E-Hobby listings for
Optimus here and
Bumblebee here, and the Amazon Japan listing for
Optimus here and
Bumblebee here.

This week's Botcon 2011 reveal is... the box artwork! Just posted on
Botcon.com is a mock up of the box for this year's Animated Stunticons set. It's a cool and unique style that evokes more than a slight memory of Speed Racer with its checkered background, topped off with a nice big Decepticon symbol and mugshots of all five Stunticons around the outside. One important thing to note - Motormaster here is referred to as "The Motormaster", in line with his role as the ringleader of this Stunt Troop.
Check out the box set art at Botcon.com! If you like it and want to get it, there's only Primus packages remaining for this year's Botcon and they're heading toward a complete sell out FAST, so act now to avoid disappointment on what is sure to become one of the hottest Botcon sets since the 2006 Beast Wars or 2007 Seekers sets.
Head over and pre-register your Primus package today!

An era is ending. Masterpiece Convoy, also known as 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime, which back in 2003 we held a poll here to help Hasbro determine various details that you, the fans, wanted to see included in the toy, is being retired. The final use of the mold, Masterpiece Convoy Last Shot Edition, has been released in Japan, and
Alfes2000 has shared a gallery with the fandom at large. There are very few differences to earlier releases of the mold - the only changes documented so far are a sticker on the front of the box, the sound stage which is thought to give the identity of the next Masterpiece, and a remolded panel on the back which reads last shot (
as documented here).

Alex Irvine’s Transformers: Exiles official product description is now available at
Amazon.
Product Description
The epic battles between Optimus Prime and Megatron have long thrilled Transformers fans. But these two giants weren’t always great leaders and bitter foes. This new novel continues the electrifying saga that started with Transformers: Exodus, unveiling the origins of the conflict—the explosive events that unfolded before Optimus and Megatron arrived Earthside, forever altering the destiny of their kind.
Once allies, Optimus and Megatron are now enemies in a civil war. To prevent Cybertron from falling into Megatron’s hands, Optimus jettisons the planet’s heart, the AllSpark, into space, then sets out to find it with Megatron hot on his heels. Optimus is determined to defeat Megatron, bring the AllSpark home, and restore Cybertron to its former glory.
But a saboteur lurks aboard Optimus’s spaceship, and ahead lie lost colonies, some of them hostile. Optimus needs help of the highest caliber, but from whom? Heroes such as Solus, Nexus, and Vector Prime are just names from make-believe stories of long ago. Or are they? Maybe it’s time for Optimus Prime to find out. Maybe it’s the only chance he has to vanquish mighty Megatron.More info about the book, after the jump.

TFW2005 Member Samus_Ng has posted to YouTube, a video clip featuring Transformers: Dark of the Moon Leader Class Sentinel Prime.
On this small clip, we get to listen to two new soundclips which we've never heard before. It seems as though Sentinel maybe speaking two dialogs from the movie itself.
“Good to see you alive, Optimus!"
"What has happened to the Allspark?"

Nelson; the admin of Michael Bay Official Website
answered a question bothering Transformers fans all around the world, “
When is the trailer we heard yesterday coming out?”
Many speculated it to come out with Sucker Punch (this Friday 25th March) while some said it’ll happen somewhere May.
Nelson answered everyone by saying… “
Trailer will come around mid/late April.”
This means we are seeing some sort of an Easter release unless it’s misinformation.
