Hey everybody, remember that video game that came out last year about that one movie with all the giant robots? Well, if you weren't one of the people who ran out and bought Transformers: The Game right away and played through it the weekend before Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen came out, there's two bits of good news for you.

First, all versions of the game have undergone a significant official price drop. Most stores should now be selling the 360/PS3/Wii/PSP versions for $29.99, and the DS/PS2 editions for $19.99. Used games will naturally be even cheaper. Check out the listings at Gamestop, Best Buy and Amazon.

Additionally, with all that money you saved on the game, you can afford to drop a little cash on something that takes all the challenge out of it! Xbox 360 owners can purchase "Transformers Unlockables" from Xbox Live, which unlocks all of the extra bonus content and upgrades in the game. The cheat is available for 500 Microsoft points, which translates to about $6.25. After all, actually playing a game to beat it is for suckers.

The Official Transformers Collectors' Club now has a picture of the upcoming club freebie exclusive figure - Topspin!  Topspin is a recolor of the Energon Blackout/Stormcloud mold.  Topspin is also the 4th member of the Fanclub Exclusive Combiner.  *Note the picture is of a sample, the actual figure will have more translucent plastic and a non-damaged face.

You can see the image at the Transformers Collectors' Club and discuss the news here.  Thanks to Nevermore for the news. 

Folks checking out the Consumer Electronics Show 2008 were greeted by a yellow, friendly giant. The full size prop constructed for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen stood in the middle of the floor at the expo. He shook hands, posed for pictures, but wouldn't say a word about his involvement in Transformers 2!

You can check out an image of Bumblebee at the show here, thanks to Pigbag for pointing it out!

In an almost expected bit of news, Transformers Movie Premium Leader Class Optimus Prime and Megatron are in fact mass release items (along with the majority of the Transformers Movie Premium figures).  For those not in the know Premium Optimus Prime sports a new head sculpt and blade weapon and Premium Megatron has a new head sculpt as well.  Both figures are reported to be due out this Spring.

You can discuss the news here in the thread started by Adam16bit, view EntertainmentEarth 's page for Optimus and Megatron (no pictures for both yet).  Thanks to Adam16bit for the news! 

TFW2005 strikes again! Now they have official images of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Premium Series Voyagers Blackout and Ironhide. It would appear that Blackout is quite similar to the Lawson's exclusive in that he has a metallic Scorponok, more accurate colors and an extensive wash. Ironhide features new paint on the windows, a new Autobot symbol, and gold and light blue accents.

You can see all the images here at TFW2005 and discuss them here on the Allspark! 

TFW2005 has gotten official images of the third wave of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Allspark Battles Legends 2-packs. This new wave will consist of Battle Jazz vs Ice Megatron (both repaints) and Bumblebee vs Scorponok (Bumblebee is a repaint, Scorponok is a new mold)!

Check out the images here on TFW2005, and then discuss them in this thread on the Allspark! 

The images have also been mirrored here in the Allspark Gallery. 

A poster at the Chinese message board ACToys.com has posted some very pretty photos of a battle-damaged Deluxe-class Animated Optimus Prime toy. This is our first official look at the Earth-mode mold outside of the Transformers Club magazine. The toy is expected to be included in the Transformers Animated "preview" set, along with a Deluxe-class Megatron and cartoon DVD.

We've mirrored all 25 images in the Allspark Gallery. Thanks to Allspark poster s250 for finding the images! Discussion continues in his thread.

According to a press release, preliminary Neilsen Ratings place the Transformers Animated premiere at #1 on all television among boys for its time slot (Saturday, 10:30 AM).

Looks like the Stealth Bumblebee won't be the only Bumblebee with the armor helmet head!
