The Cybertron.ca member Pascal has obtained a deluxe Transforemrs Revenge of The Fallen Sideswipe toy.
He posted a description of the toy to read this description just click here or scroll down.

Another beauty. Some of the features:

-dual shock absorbers for lower legs
-unique feet: formed from the front portion of the car (right front side of the car on the left, left front side on the right), each foot appears to be either a tire split in 2 halves with a stabilizer (foot) sandwiched in between OR a tire sandwiched between 2 stabilizers (meaning he would have roller feet)... probably the 2nd option...
-2 pairs of struts linking the upper legs to the lower torso
-chest is formed from the rear section of the car (outer parts) with a black section in the middle (exposed when you lift up the middle rear section) with a silver Autobot symbol on the right (think Alt. Meister when you lift the hood)
-clear blue windshield hanging off the back
-wheels (near the elbows) and rear car sections (pointing forward) hanging off the arms
-hands: 1 thick thumb and 2 thick fingers (a bit like Blackout)
-head is bit a Megatron-esque, but different... hard to describe... has blue light piping
-middle rear section of the car is pointing up on the back in robot mode (like Trans Scanning Bumblebee) and you can see 4 exhaust pipes
-hood halves hanging off the back as wings (front pointing down)
-red/orangy tail lights
-clear headlights
-blue knees
-car has long and pointy rear view mirrors (probably rubber)
-small molded Corvette symbol on front of the hood

A member of ACtoys.net has posted a small image of what appears to be the Sideswipe toy, you can see it as the user's avatar on this page.

Boscov's- Online retailer, Boscov's, reveals a new role play toy based on the Transformers Animated Megatron character.

This toy is a transforming arm cannon, fashioned after Megatron's weapon of choice, and his Earth alt mode.

Megatron's arm cannon is very similar to the Starscream and Optimus Prime role play items offered a few years back. These also transformed from a representation of the character's alt mode to a 'glove' holding a weapon that can fire nerf-like darts.

You can view the retailers order page here, and images of the item below.

Shia LaBeouf says filming ROTF was dangerous

Shia LaBeouf says filming ROTF was dangerous

In a recent article posted by My Park Magazine, Shia LaBeouf and others comment on the filming experience of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and the safety level that seemed to be a non factor.

"During filming I've got 75 military officers firing at me, shrapnel falling on my head that's bigger than my arms. It's hard to be normal", stated the 22 year old LaBeouf, "You're running past them, and your clearance is only about 10 feet. These dudes are moving, and if one trips or falls and we run into the muzzle of a blank, that could blow your chest open or burn you."



It seems that adding realism to the film was a huge factor during filming and if Shia's comments aren't convincing enough, Lieutenant Colonel Gregory Bishop of the United States Army stated that he's never seen a joint military operation, involving all branches of the military, on this scale before for a movie.



This statement supports our previous report on the US Military's involvement in the filming of Revenge of the Fallen here. Lt. Col. Bishop served as a military liaison for the film.

I have completely restored all of the galleries on Seibertron.com (just in time for the 5th anniversary of the Seibertron.com galleries which were launched January 4th, 2004). I have spent the better part of the last two days restoring the 57 galleries that have been missing ever since the server crashed back in September 2008. The galleries were restored from a variety of different backups and computers that contained 99% of the original images. Most of the images had to be optimized, watermarked, resized and reuploaded once again in order to be restored. The following is a list of the galleries that were finally restored this past weekend which are available once again for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

ACtoys- chenkofs of ACtoys.net posted images of an as yet un-named repaint of the movie Evac figure. The Evac figure was itself a repaint of the movie Blackout mold, but with a remolded head, and pontoon/weapon instead of the mini Skopronok.

You can view the original thread here at ACtoys.

You can also see images of the blue and white repaint below as well. There are currently no additional details about this figure at this point, but as soon as we know more, we'll share with everyone.

Thanks to Anonymous of 4chan's /toy/ section, we have our very first full image of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class Optimus Prime.

As the image shows, he is far more detailed than the previous movies and that much more screen accurate.

{L_IMAGE}

And for an even larger view, click the image below.

{L_IMAGE}

Here's the bio from the back of Optimus Prime's box:

With the destruction of Megatron, Optimus Prime thought he was finally, after millions of years, at peace. Little did he know that the escape of Starscream would draw dozens of new Decepticons to Earth. The desire that burns brightest in his spark is that the war will soon end. He is determined to see that end come, and so he works with his human comrades and the other Autobots to hunt the Decepticons that have come to Earth, and destroy them, one by one.

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more upcoming toy and movie information!
