Allspark Forums member Fortress Ironhold informs us here that his local Toys "R" Us in Texas is running a couple of Transformers specials - a free $5 gift card with a Transformers purchase of $30 or more, and a discounted $24.99 price on the Transformers: The Movie Optimus Prime Voice Changer helmet.  The $5/$30 deal is being advertised on Toysrus.com, and the voice changer listing has likewise been updated (seen here).

One deal that all TRU shoppers can take advantage of is located at this listing at ToysRUs.com.  Ordering the Prime helmet online will get you a free Real Gear Robot!  Check the full details on the special here.

If you prefer your movie toys a little more on the shiny side, this news is for you.  The Best Buy exclusive metallic Ratchet and Megatron Voyager-class figures are out a few days ahead of the Tuesday release of Transformers: The Movie on DVD, as reported here by TFormers and here by Nevermore.  And the Allspark already has its first sighting report for these two, out of Fairfax, Virginia.

Have you seen these shiny robots?  Drop a lead in this thread at the Allspark's New Toy Sightings forum!

Though you'll still have to wait until Tuesday for the transforming DVD case; Target has posted their exclusive comic on their website.

You can check it out here and discuss the canon headaches it creates in Nevermore's thread.

As reported previously, Entertainment Earth has put up a pre-order page for Transformers: The Movie Cyberslammers Wave 4, including Jazz and Cliffjumper. Now they have updated that page with images!

Click here for this first glimpse of the Jazz and Cliffjumper Cyberslammers.

Hasbro has updated their Transformers page with images of Wave 1 and 2 Voyager and Wave 2 Deluxe figures for the Transformers: The Movie Allspark Power line. The figures shown are First Strike Optimus Prime, Offroad Ironhide (first confirmation on his name), EVAC, Incinerator and Stockade!

Ages Three And Up posted a new solicitation listing for TakaraTomy's release of the Transformers Classics line.  No information is known at this time other than the listing, but fans who may have missed out on the Hasbro's Classics line will now have a chance to collect these fantastic figures.

The line-up thus far:
C-01 - Optimus
C-02 - Megatron
C-03 - Bumblebee
C-04 - Starscream

Thanks to xZAOx for the link.  You can discuss the news in this thread and view the original listing at TFW2005.
