Nelson of Michaelbay.com has shed some light on the upcoming DVD/Blu-ray release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, particularly concerning the IMAX footage.
I spoke to Paramount today and here's the lowdown on the Imax TF2 release:
Walmart will have exclusive rights on selling the ROFT (w/ Imax) on DVD and Blu-ray.
So for those of you who missed the extra IMAX footage of ROTF, Walmart will be the only retailer authorized to sell the movie with that added footage.

Just a few months ago we heard great news as the Transformers Toy franchise saw the recognition it deserved by being inducted into the Toyfare Hall of Fame. Now, on the heels of an amazing release of the live action films sequel, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, we get news of another possible induction into the National Toy Hall of Fame!
Thanks to fellow Seibertronian and Transformers fan Mathew Henderson, we get word that Transformers was nominated as one of the twelve finalists to be inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester, New York in November. Only two of the twelve inductees will get the honor and just getting nominated is no easy task. Here are some of the stipulations, taken from the Strong National Museum of Play, home of the Hall of Fame:
• Icon-status (the toy is widely recognized, respected, and remembered)
• Longevity (the toy is more than a passing fad and has enjoyed popularity over multiple generations)
• Discovery (the toy fosters learning, creativity, or discovery through play)
• Innovation (the toy profoundly changed play or toy design)
While we can only hope that Transformers finds its way into the National Toy Hall of Fame, we can be extremely pleased that it was given a nomination for it. For a full list of inductees, click here. You can visit the Strong National Museum of Play and see all the inducted toys by clicking here.

Seibertron.com has received official images of the creation of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, also known as Sideswipe, from Transformer Revenge of the Fallen. The GM Design Team was kind enough to share these amazing photos and concept art of the newest member of the Chevy family for your viewing pleasure.
First we get a look at what the designers were planning for the interior of the Stingray revamp.
The Designers were looking to channel the original Stingray in a futuristic design. Here we get a concept image of the two seating vehicle from an aerial perspective.
Sleek new "racing" seats were considered to give the driver full driving comfort with ideal support for handling the sports car.
Here are what the actual seats with dashboard look like in all black.
Workers craft the prototype mold of the Corvette.
Designers stand next to a prototype hood for the Corvette along with a look at the rear of the vehicle, or Sideswipes chest.
Sideswipes "Wings".
And we get a look at promo images for the Stingray.
For those of you that just can't get enough of this amazing car, check out these videos giving details on the cars interior and "transforming" capabilities:
A very special thanks to General Motors and the GM Team, Stephen Gray and Robin Henderson for making this possible. Learn more about the Corvette Stingray Concept by visiting Cheverolet.com
As any Transformers fan can attest, the Robots in Disguise have an ability to make things all better in our every day lives. It looks like they'll be taking their "Human Alliance" a step further to help out a great cause.
On October 4th, 2009 at 11:00 AM, Hasbro Children's Hospital will be hosting its inaugural "The Walk: Hasbro Childrens Hospital" Fundraising event. All walkers are welcome to join the event that will be paced by none other than Bumblebee, the first official 2010 Chevy Camaro.
Walkers and their teams from all over Rhode Island and southeastern New England will be able to choose two-mile or five-mile strolls along the scenic and pedestrian-friendly paths by the rivers in historic downtown Providence. While the walkers share a common goal -- enhancing Hasbro Children's Hospital's care for kids -- many will have personal reasons for their involvement.
Timothy J. Babineau, M.D., Rhode Island Hospital's president and chief executive officer, says, "We decided to start this walk in addition to our very successful annual gala. This event will allow members of our community, who prefer to support a different type of activity, to help the young patients at Hasbro Children's Hospital. It's easy for anyone to get involved and be a part of The Walk."
Seibertron.com member Supreme Convoy has tipped us to a new article in USA Today that interviews Andy Schmidt, editor and author of the upcoming IDW Publishing release Transformers Continuum.

According to a report posted on Variety, Paramount Studios claimed the second highest grossing film producer, raking in $884 Million USD for the summer of 2009 with ROTF pulling in a whopping 45% alone!
Other films such as the Star Trek revamp and GI Joe: Rise of Cobra assisted in the overall earnings, but it's plain to see the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen was much bigger than anyone anticipated.
One can only imagine the budget that will be awarded the third installment of the movieverse franchise with this new revelation.
