It's no secret that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was a big fat hit on home video, and next month, they may have the awards to prove it. It turns out that for almost twenty years, an organization called "The Home Entertainment Association" has been giving out something called "The Home Entertainment Awards." EMA member retailers and distributors vote to select winners in 20 categories based on sales/rentals and studio support. Transformers ties Harry Potter for the most nominations this year, in the following categories:

• DVD Extras of the Year
• High-Definition Title of the Year
  
• Marketing Campaign of the Year
  
• Sell-Through Title of the Year from a Major Studio
  

Magmatron of the 2005 Boards has posted more images from an upcoming Transformers Animated episode. Today, it's Auto Boot Camp! This episode has a lot to offer; a flashback, a chase, a few new characters, an explanation about a line of dialog in Elite Guard...and much more!  Oh, and there's a mystery surrounding one of the new characters that G1 fans may find interesting. Very interesting.

Last week we reported that "Superbad" star Jonah Hill was in early talks to co-star in the sequel to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as Shia LaBeouf's "comic relief" sidekick. Today, according to Entertainment Weekly's web site (which broke the news of his possible casting in the first place), those negotiations have broken down. Hill will officially not be appearing in Transformers 2, which will likely reduce the number of improvised penis jokes in the sequel by about 33% (Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf are still attached).

UK Fans can look for this cover at Apocalypse Comics in July!
