Our sponsors
Big Bad Toy Store have put up a listing for a cool new reproduction item -
reprinted Generation 1 1984 Tech Spec Cards! This reproduction set is so much more than simply a photocopy of the original tech specs, though - they are completely remastered, digitally recreated from the ground up and feature super clean high resolution artwork as well as having some elements, like the coding that obscures the power levels, done consistently across the whole set. Most interesting of all is that certain artworks have been adjusted to better match the actual toys - so Bluestreak's artwork is silver like the toy instead of blue. These are due to arrive in March 2011, with a preorder price of $34.99.
Head on over to Big Bad Toy Store to view the preorder listing!

Deluxe Starscream.
Take a closer look after the jump.

MTV has posted an exclusive interview with IDW’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon Prequel Comics Editor Andy Schmidt.
MTV: Do the comics take place right before the film starts, years before it starts, or something else entirely?
SCHMIDT: There are two prequel series: "Foundation" takes place long before the events of even the first film. The second prequel is "Rising Storm," and that one leads directly into the opening of the new film. It takes place in between the second and third films, sort of bridging the two.You can read the rest of the interview at
MTV website.
MTV has also posted a 7-Page Preview of Transformers: Rising Storm for us to enjoy till we grab the comic book releasing today.
Additionally TFW2005 Member blue death, who picked up both copies has shared the info with us (including the uncensored cover of Rising Storm Issue #1). Careful... Spoilers!

Hot on the heels of the previously revealed
Campaign Micron Spoilsport, a second Campaign Micron to celebrate the upcoming Dark of the Moon toyline has been announced. This time it is a Micron named
Caliburst, who is actually not the Power Core Combiners Caliburst but
Backwind instead. Like the other Targetmaster Microns, he is cast in solid gray plastic, with some black elements. He will be exclusively available at Toys R Us stores in March with the purchase of 3,000 yen or more of Autobot Alliance products, or Masterpiece Movie Bumblebee, or Masterpiece Rodimus Convoy.

Building upon our
earlier report from
Autobot Aichi, a small image of what may very well be Voyager Optimus Prime With Trailer from
Transformers 3 Dark Of The Moon can be seen on the bottom of the magazine cover shown. This set was first mentioned on the
Possible Dark Of The Moon Initial Toy Release Sheet, early last month.
You may recall that in the
Transformers Dark Of The Moon Superbowl Trailer, that towards the end, Optimus Prime is shown wielding a long sword, possibly engulfed in flames. This may be what is shown on the left arm of the figure. Check out the 1st images of what may very well be the Voyager Optimus Prime with trailer set, after the jump!
