Hasbro has updated their Transformers site with images of the first wave of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Real Gear figures for next year. This wave is comprised of three recolors: Highline 1070 (a red repaint of Speed Dial 800), Hacker X-3 (an Autobot repaint of Power Up VT6), and Photon/Foton T-34 (a Decepticon repaint of Spyshot 6). As you can see in the images, the Cybertron screen grabs will be replaced with decals featuring Movie characters (and possibly a well-known, one-eyed purple robot from the Movie Video Game)! Look for these figures January of next year.

You can see the images as well as bios for the toys here. You can also discuss this news in TriBlurr's thread here.

Apparently over $700 million in worldwide box office and untold millions in sponsorships and licensing deals weren't quite enough--the DVD release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has been digitally altered to insert additional product placement. During the scene where Captain Lennox speaks to his wife via webcam, what was once a generic video interface has been magically updated with a prominent Cisco Systems logo. This kind of digital product placement has been used on television and discussed in news articles, but it's surprising to see a major motion picture "transformed" between its theatrical and home-video release just to add a blatant pitch for a corporate sponsor. 

Eagle-eyed Allsparker Skunkobot noticed the change after seeing the film multiple times in the theater and on DVD, and his thread has discussion and comparison images of both the theatrical and DVD versions of the scene.

A new eBay auction has sprung to life, and it brings with it images of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Allspark Power Landmine. The images do a good job showing off the mold's details, including some that may have been missed. Most noticeable are his roller skates formed by the vehicle's rear wheels and additional small wheels under the toes!
