A member of TF08.net has gotten a hold of a 25th Anniversary toy and posted images of both him and Ravage in both their molds! Although Hound is mistransformed, and Ravage blends stealthily into the dark brown table, this is still a fairly good look at each of the figures!

We've seen the silver version of Alternity Convoy a couple times now, but the red version remained elusive...until now! TF08.net has put up a pair of images of the Vibrant Red Convoy, who does match his name a tad better than the Ultimate Silver one! They also have a few new images of the silver Convoy too, so you can compare the two to decide which you like better, or if you need both!

While Shia LaBeouf won't be prosecuted with DUI charges for his July 27 car crash in Hollywood due to insufficient evidence, his license may be suspended six to nine months for refusing a breathalyser test as per California driving laws.

Voice actor legend Peter Cullen is back to work as Optimus Prime for Revenge, according to MTV Movie Blog. So far, Michael Bay has brought him in for some of the animation before they'll "get into the main stuff more towards the end of the fall…November, perhaps.” While again he remains off-camera, he'll have a home when the animators synchronize Optimus' mouth with his - “they focus a camera on my mouth. It’s like ‘Oh my God, they’re looking into my mouth!’ It’s like going to the dentist.”

For those of you that collect packaging variants, or are just looking for the best value, be sure to check out your local Toys R Us for the Animated Leader Bulkhead with Bonus Activator Bumblebee. The set has been spotted in a California store, so it's only a matter of time before you can get your hands one one! The Leader Megatron with Activators Sctarscream was no where to be found, so it's unknown if it's shipping with Bulkhead or not.
