In an update on KOToys.com regarding a new knock-off Generation One Devastator Mike posted the following update when asked whether he had more information on their release.
"no, not sure about those, the guy who makes these is not very good at communication."
So it could be that those knock-offs have been delayed or maybe even cancelled. Either way you can find images of the boxes they would come in on that thread.

Both Michael Bay, via his own website, and Paramount Pictures, via TFW2005 have confirmed that the Twins from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Mudflap and Skids will not be appearing in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
After
the internet posting of a nice review by someone who saw Transformers
Dark of the Moon, the writer had not been clear on one thing. He
misstated that the Twins are in the film. They are not.So I am offering a $25,000 REWARD to anyone who can find them performing in Transformers 3, on July 1, when the movie opens.

Prices all gone up sadly, Voyagers £22.99, Deluxe £12.99 and Cyberverse £4.99. The bigger Cyberverse were £7.99 I think

Auto Assembly Releases Script Reading Videos Online...!
We've been working hard with our Youtube Channel over the last few weeks
preparing lots of new videos for all of you including a lot of major news videos
that we will be uploading over the next couple of weeks, but right now we're
pleased to announce the first in a series of uploads coming over the next couple
of weeks featuring archive footage from the convention itself...
The first of these is online NOW and we are proud to announce the
re-release of our first ever script reading from Auto Assembly 2009. Featuring a
brand new 25 minute Beast Wars story written by man-of-the-moment Simon Furman,
this was a fun script that played strictly for laughs and featured performances
by our voice actor guests Gregg Berger and Ian James Corlett and comic artists
Nick Roche and Simon Williams, supported by fans who auditioned for the
remaining roles.
Previously uploaded to Youtube in three parts, it has now been remastered
as a single part video and in High Definition, you can watch this much loved
script as only our convention attendees were able to! You can see the full video
on our channel here:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqSQoOSc8gw
The script readings have become an Auto Assembly tradition since 2009 and
are a part of our Saturday night programme which is exclusive for those who
attend the convention for the full weekend. In 2010, our script was again
written for us by Simon Furman and featured Garry Chalk, Scott McNeil, Nick
Roche and Simon Williams and will be available on Youtube in the next seven days
so keep checking the channel to see what you have missed out.
If you are considering attending Auto Assembly 2011, this is a great way to
get a teaser for what you can expect from our 2011 script! Again, Simon Furman
is at the helm and David Kaye and Gregg Berger are both confirmed to take
starring roles. Who else will be performing? You'll have to come along to find
out...!
More convention footage will be uploaded shortly including panels from Auto
Assembly 2009 and 2010, and Garry Chalk's acoustic concert from Auto Assembly
2010! We also have more massive announcements and news videos coming soon so
keep an eye out for our next video shortly including our next guest
update...

Sunday (although these will NOT get you into the Friday or Saturday evening

The convention is taking place over the weekend of 12th - 14th August 2011

Thanks to Toys R Us Hong Kong, we can now all read the profile (bio) for Transformers: Dark of the Moon Voyager Class Fireburst Optimus Prime
OPTIMUS
PRIME® fights with the utmost valor, courage and power. His dominance
over the DECEPTICONS® is due to countless centuries of battle
experience, a mighty armament and a virtuous Spark. Even so, widespread
threats to the AUTOBOTS® and OPTIMUS PRIME still exist - there is no
time to rest, there is no time for defeat, there is only time for
victory!

Having recently been voted the sexist woman in the world by both FHM and Maxim magazines, Transformers: Dark of the Moon leading lady Britain's own Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Director Michael Bay both attended the Maxim Hot 100 party last night in Hollywood, California. Thanks to Image.net and Getty Images, we can bring you some photographs of the pair at the event as well as a surprise appearance by Optimus Prime himself, well the truck at least. The photographs were taken by Getty Images photographers Chrley Gallay, John Shearer and Angela Weiss.
