Cybertron Philippines has posted images and reviews of several new and upcoming Transformers: The Movie toys, including Deluxe Arcee, Leader Megatron, and Deluxe 2009 Bumblebee, among others.

Check out all the reviews at Cybertron Philippines. Thanks to firstpredacon for cluing us in via this thread.

We would like to thank Allspark member Matrix Prime for heading out to his local Target to confirm the rumored sale on Transformers: The Movie figures.  He has provided a detailed report as follows...

"just got back from doing a round of taking pics of the merchandise setup at various stores, and Target is having a sale on most all of the merchandise until next Saturday. "

• $2 off Voyagers
• $5 off Robovision Prime
• $3 off Blasters and Voice Changer
• $5 off Leader Prime 

He has taken some pictures that you can view in his thread here.

Those giant robots just can't wait to get here, apparently.  We've already learned that opening day for Transformers: The Movie in the U.S. would be July 3rd, rather than July 4th.  Now, Nelson of the Michael Bay forums brings word straight from the director, confirming that July 3rd is indeed opening day, but there will also be "a special showing on the night of July 2."

Comment on this development here at the Allspark Forums.

Listen carefully to those Transformers: The Movie Optimus Prime voice changer helmets.  It's been confirmed now that there are two versions - one with the voice we heard in G1 and we'll hear again in the movie, Peter Cullen!

As pointed out through both a video posted by Matrix_Prime and an image from Seibertron, some of the Cullen variants will come in a slightly different package declaring, "Featuring the REAL movie voice."  But Allspark Forums member Aberration tells us the real movie voice comes out of his helmet that didn't have the note on the packaging, so, to quote him directly, "the best thing to do is to use your ears."

Speaking of using your ears, use them to hear Peter Cullen's voice from Optimus Prime's head in this thread started by Matrix_Prime, where you can find his video.

The countdown for Target's Transformers: The Movie site at Target.com/Transformers has completed, and the site's live! Well, partially at least. There seems to be either an error or a deliberate block preventing access to most of the content, such as the Robo-Vision code-access section. But, we get a look at some new toys (including an exclusive Trans-portable PC and an online-only bust and statue of G1 Megatron).

Plus, there's an exclusive online Prequel Comic available for download. No, this isn't the umpteenth rerelease of IDW Prequel #1 with a variant cover, it's a brand-new 10-page comic that, naturally, features conspicuous plugs for Robo-Vision and Target itself. 

Check out what's available now at Target.com/Transformers, and hopefully more content will be online soon!

The 2005Boards, via the Chinese TFClub board, have in-package pictures of two more Transformers: The Movie toys: High Score 100, an Autobot Real Gear video game controller, and - speaking of video games - the "as seen in the Transformers video game" Autobot tow truck Longarm.  But even more interesting might be the co-sells.  Listed as "Also Available" on the packaging for Longarm are some figures we've seen previously - namely, deluxe Arcee, the 2009 version of Bumblebee, and Dreadwing.  Also there are two figures we haven't really seen: Payload (previously known from the Wizards of the Coast battle-card game) and a remolded Jazz with a "Final Battle" prefix attached.

Check out the pictures here (or here in Chinese), and drop by @l3x's thread at the Allspark Forums to talk it over!

As Michael Bay teased a few weeks ago, it looks like you may have the opportunity to see Transformers: The Movie early. How early, you ask? Well, ComingSoon.net reports the movie has officially been moved up one whole day, to July 3rd. So now you're free to go watch the fireworks on Wednesday, having basked in the warm patriotic glow of giant freakin' robots the day before!

Check out ComingSoon.net for the details.
