We reported last week that the Transformers: The Movie was next on the list to be mocked via a RiffTrax by the former Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew, and today the commentary track is finally available for purchase.

To hear Michael "Mike" Nelson, Kevin "Tom Servo" Murphy, and Bill "Crow" Corbett reduce some giant robots to whimpering shards of tinfoil, just click over to RiffTrax.com and drop $3.99 on the download. Then, follow the instructions to synchronize the audio track with your DVD, and enjoy.

Thanks to Internet Jesus for the update. Discussion continues in FortMax's thread.

This issue is due out February 2008.

Major media outlets including Reuters are reporting on a list of this holiday season's "Hot Toys," as determined by the National Retail Federation. The NRF commissions the annual survey, collecting data from retailers nationwide to find out what toys they expect to be on most kids' wish lists.

This year, they've all been crushed under the weight of Giant &@$!ing Robots, as Transformers sits at #1.
