Ask Dr. Sheldon Cooper and he’d tell us all about Leonard Nimoy. Many of you know him as the heart and soul of Spock in the original Star Trek series (1966–1969). “What’s up?” you’d say. And I’d say… "He’s the voice of Sentinel Prime of Transformers: Dark of the Moon."
Entertainment Weekly is delivering and TFW2005 is breaking the news to the Transformers fans all around the world.
“Mr. Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy, has joined the film as the voice of Sentinel Prime, the predecessor of Optimus Prime whose wrecked body is seen in the teaser trailer, found crash-landed on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts in 1969. Later, after being brought to earth, he takes the disguise form of a fire engine in the movie’s massive, climactic battle through Chicago.”According to Mr. Michael Bay…
“I was too scared to ask him,” the director says. “Plus, he’s married to Susan Bay, who’s a cousin of mine. So I had to be careful. I’ve met him at family functions. But he told me, ‘I would be honored. I’m glad to be back!’” (Back? Yes, "Back". Leonard Nimoy was the voice of Galvatron back in 1986)
There you have it folks! Hopefully, this is NOT an April Fools Day Joke!
Live Long And Prosper!

Transformers Comic Book Storyteller Simon Furman surprised everyone while he was being interviewed recently.
"
The GI Joe fans are thrilled that Hama has continued the original ARAH continuity and that has sparked some of us here to ask Andy if the same could be done for TF’s. Have you given any thought to continuing the original TF continuity from the Marvel run? And an even better question is, are you even interested in going down that road?
Simon: I actually would like to pick up the baton from Marvel issue #80 and run with it again. There was a lot we never got to do, that I’d like to revisit or just to take the next big steps with all that we’d set up in the previous 20 or so issues. I’d certainly rather do G1 #81 than G2 #13, as, strangely, and for no good reason I can formulate into words, I think the time has passed for G2. It was very, well… 90s."
Dudes over at the
IDW Forums are gathering to show their support to bring Mr. Furman back. And with it the return of
Marvel G1 Transformers Universe which ended with Issue #80; “
End of the Road!” back in May 1991.
Show your support by commenting here at TFW2005 and at IDW Forums.

A seller from Australia has put up an
eBay auction for a Toys "R" Us exclusive Transformers: Dark of the Moon Cyberverse Legion 4-Pack.
The set contains 2 Bumblebees and 2 Starscream repaints.
While one Bumblebee looks like an ordinary version the other Bumblebee is clearly a “Trans-scanning” (according to the “Trans-scanning” term found on the leaked toy list) version.
As for the Starscream toys, one figure is none other than the
Transformers: War For Cybertron Cyber Starscream (Redeco of Cybertron Legends Starscream) distributed exclusively for UK Shopto.net customers.

Got some interesting tidbits from the latest issue (#38) of Transformers Collectors’ Club Magazine thanks to 2005 Boards member Beastbot X.
It was not too long ago we
discussed about Ker-O and Kreons. On this issue, Hasbro explains the origin of their latest Trademark “
Kre-O”. Latin word “
Creo”; meaning “
I Create” is the base for this new name. Not only that, during this year we will see 29 Transformers Kreon figures and 12 Kre-O sets. There is a reminder that Kre-O is not always about Transformers. (Who’s guessing it is
G. I. Joe? You know it’s going to happen… You know it’s coming!)
There is also a Michael Bay interview by Pete (we all know him as Pete@BotCon here at TFW2005). Transformers: Dark of the Moon is only 94 days away and Mr. Bay is telling us that there is less humor in DOTM than Transformers 2007. Also he tells us to look for lots of Easter Eggs (No, not in the coming month... In the movie). Speaking of which, “
Hop” is releasing soon.
Got lots of other stuff as well… Take a look at what Beastbot X is telling us about the magazine, over on the thread.

For a 3D movie, 3D Surround Sound is equally important. With the Introduction of Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound, the 3D experience is boosted.
We have received information that Transformers: Dark of the Moon is being benefited with the latest sound technology from Dolby Laboratories. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was released in Dolby 5.1 which was the technology back then. But on Showest 2010, Dolby Laboratories
explained how their Dolby Surround 7.1 can help the visuals of “3D” movies.
Hollywood Reporter says "
Paramount’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon are among the upcoming movies that will use Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound, which will be highlighted this week at CinemaCon." (Sneak peek? Hmmm...)
Dolby Surround 7.1 brings a more exciting sensory experience to audiences for 2D and gives content creators control over audio placement in a theatre when mixing 3D movies. The ability to compose audio with visual elements of 3D allows content creators to immerse the audience deeper into the movie with dramatic realism.Selected theaters may play Transformers 3 with the latest sound technology. You can locate your nearest theater with Dolby Surround by visiting
Dolby.comTech Savvy TFW2005 members can read on to learn more about the 7.1 Surround technology.
