With just over ten days until Transformers: The Movie comes out on DVD, interesting tidbits of news keep rolling in. Check these out:

-An early review of the set has been posted at HomeTheaterForum, and it confirms something many fans have been hoping for: deleted and extended scenes! The reviewer reports the scenes are integrated into the featurettes on Disc 2, but at least they're present. Read the full review for more.

-ComicsContinuum has posted screenshots of the menus for the two-disc set. Click this link and scroll down to see. Thanks to TFW2005 for pointing out the link.  

-A poster at DVDTalk provides more details about Best Buy's U.S. exclusives: The two-disc set with bonus Robot Heroes doesn't seem to advertise any special gift-box packaging, and the metallic Voyager Ratchet and Megatron repaints will be available for $19.99 alone, or $14.99 with the purchase of the Transformers DVD. More solid confirmation should be forthcoming soon, but for now, click here for his post.

Finally offering us clear pictures of just what exactly we'll be getting when we buy Transformers: The Movie on DVD at our favorite retailer. First good look at the Best Buy Robot Heroes (battle damaged Optimus Prime and Cliffjumper) along with confirming Target's transforming case and a Circuit City giftcard with around fifteen minutes of exclusive online content when you purchase the film there.

See the full bounty here.

Thanks to DVDTalk for the news.

This rumor is about as rumory as they come, as it's based on some guy talking to some other guy at Target. Regardless, it's interesting, so here's the rumor. A poster on DVDTalk.com says that he was told by an employee that Target would be carrying an exclusive edition of the 2-disc Transformers: The Movie DVD, in a special case that transforms into a 15" tall Optimus Prime. If the rumor is true, it sounds an awful lot like a U.S. edition of the Australian DVD set we reported on back in August (and pictured at left).

Visit DVDTalk for the original rumor. As it's only a week and a half until the DVD release, we should have confirmation on this rumor one way or another very soon. Rumor.

Simon Furman has updated his blog by talking about the IDW Transformers: Mosaic project. He also shares a little about a story that he has written for the project entitled "Hail and Farewell," which will feature Hunter O'Nion and Sunstreaker!
