Clear G1 Minibots Auctions

Status: NEW!
Please note, Seibertron.com does not condone the buying of products that are not official HASBRO or TakaraTomy products.
Yahoo Japan has auctions for five minibots molded in clear plastic. Information from Ricochet at TFW2005 may clear up the origin of these toys:
| : |
| According to the description by the seller: this is a prize sample given from Takara in the past. Sample was made, but pure clear-white plastic lacks its toughness, so it was never produced. Surely copyrighted by Takara, molded on the toy. |
I cannot confirm, or deny that the translation of the description says that, but if it does these are some very rare pieces of G1 awesomeness. What do you think, are these awesome very rare pieces of Transformers history that were unproduced or not? Would you like to own them, or would they be a skip for you? Cost too much anyway? Discuss the auctions below.
Yahoo Auction for Powerglide
Yahoo Auction for Warpath

Rachel Taylor Talks To MTV, Glad NOT To Be A 'Transformers Girl'
Categories: Movie News, People News
Posted by: tigertracks 24 | Credit(s): MTV Movie Blogs

Status: NEW!
MTV Movie Blogs has recently updated with a Rachel Taylor interview.
Rachel Taylor's role in the first movie as computer hacker Maggie Madsen, as you know, was not written into the script for the second movie. She talks about her Transformers experience, how she grew from it, and also about the new movie she is working on called, "Bottle Shock".
| : |
| ...And while that(Transformers) was a “great experience,” Taylor said, it’s “not quite what I want to do” and it would defeat the purpose of becoming a better actor “if I was just going to become a ‘Transformers’ girl” (Is that like being a Bond girl, with less prestige?). “There’s a line in ‘Bottle Shock,’” her current film in theaters, “how ‘from hardship comes enlightment,’” Taylor said... |
| : |
| To transform herself, she said, she needs to do roles that aren’t quite as easy for her as “Transformers” was (in which she retained her native accent). “‘Transformers’ was important and defining for me because it taught me about what kinds of movies I want to make and the kind of actor I want to be, and I have a long way to go before I become that actor,” she said. |
You can read the entire interview here, at MovieBlogs.MTV.com.
Good luck on your future endeavors Ms. Taylor! Transformers fans will always appreciate the part you played in the movie.

Megan Fox, "No Action Figures, please."

Status: NEW!
Megan Fox, in a statement made to ENI, states her very strong feelings about having an action figure made in her likeness, revealing a possible reason why we have not seen any larger movie figures with the human characters' likenesses:
| : |
| "I told them (HASBRO) that I would literally commit suicide if they made an action figure of me. I will kill myself." |
Obviouisly, Ms. Fox feels quite strongly that she does not want to be immortalized in plastic. One wonders if HASBRO showed her the Movie Screen Battles Pack: The Final Stand with Longarm and Bumblebee, and her torso inside the cab of Longarm representing a pivotal scene in the end battle of the movie? Perhaps, this likeness was not what she was talking about, but something more along the lines of the real life accurate action figures one sees in other lines such as wrestling, and McFarlane.
We would never wish anything bad to happen to our favorite sassy starlet, but I bet there are many fans of Transformers, and Megan Fox, who wish she felt differently.

Seibertron.com member JohnDoe4880 has posted a link giving us a look at some new pics from the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen set. X17 Online has the new pics available in a gallery that you can find here.
While most of the pictures are of co-star Megan Fox, a few of the shots show Shia on set, presumably on a break from filming, and talking with both Fox and Director Michael Bay.
The pictures also show that Shia is still bandaged up on his left hand, but he appears to be doing well and in good spirits.

Simon Furman Shares About Spotlight: Doubledealer

Simon Furman gives an awful lot away about the content of this issue on the eve of its US release:
| : |
| "Out this week, from IDW Publishing, is Transformers Spotlight: Doubledealer, part three of the epic ‘Revelation’ arc. Things really kick into high gear this issue, as the Dead Universe cast (Nemesis Prime, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Straxus, Grindcore and Jhiaxus) make their presence well and truly felt. As two universes begin to mesh, perhaps irrevocably, the Autobots struggle to understand exactly what has been set in motion (and how to stop it). They need answers, and what better place to get them than from “the font of all knowledge, known and unknown” (aka The Magnificence)...." |

Peter Cullen Featured

An article on Peter Cullen, the voice actor best known as the voice of Optimus Prime from the original cartoon as well as the Michael Bay Transformers Movies, has been featured on the site of The Reading Eagle.
Although the article is basically an account with the actor that brings to attention details that most hardcore Transformers fans probably already know, it is still a nice article and worth reading.
"The determination of the fans was overwhelmingly influential in getting me in there. Was I surprised that I had to audition? I guess a little bit. But I understand. That's part of life in Hollywood".
"I have started. I worked with Michael a few weeks ago and we did some of the opening dialogue, the opening speech and then a couple of scenes with Shia LaBeouf. Shia wasn't there, of course. I just worked from the script".
