In an update on Michael Bay's message board, Nelson, the administrator, posted the following regarding the trailer release for Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Fast 5 ill be in theaters April 29.
The TF3 trailer will be available on Apple Trailers on 7PM (Eastern Time) on April 28th.
This is because there was some confusion over a comment posted by Michael Bay where he said that the trailer will debut with Fast 5 next week, which is a week ahead of the US release of Fast 5 but is the release week of several international countries including the UK

KapowToys have updated
FullMetalHero.com with some new images of the upcoming
Transformers: Dark of the Moon leader class Ironhide which that describe as "
Not giving too much away but this is an awesome figure which is the best
of the 3 leaders we know about, he is big and heavy with stacks of
gimmicks. He does have his downside like too much kibble under the
forearms and small feet which can make posing difficult.

Both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.jp have posted more information on the upcoming book Transformers Vault: The Complete Transformers Universe.
Amazon.com describes the book as
"For the first time ever, Transformers Vault reveals the complete story
of the Transformers, everyone's favorite robots in disguise. Loaded with
never-before-seen images, this book is a guide to the epic battle
between the Autobots and Decepticons, as it began with toys and
television, and continued to comics, film, games, and other media.
There's something here for all generations, from classic toys that have
become sought-after collectibles to the amazing, high-tech visuals of
the three live-action films.
Hasbro has opened its official archives, gathering more than 250
images and several featured pieces of memorabilia. Look inside for a
sheet of Generation One tech specs with a secret revealer, a rare pencil
sketch from comics artist Casey Coller, an unseen character profile for
Hot Rod from the 1986 film, an animation cel, and much more. Exclusive
photos of Japanese Transformer prototypes, archival development art, and
brand-new information about the future of the Transformers make this
the ultimate package for every fan."
With the Japanese version of the website posting the following description:
""The epic battle between the Autobots and Deceptions has captivated fans
of all ages for more than two decades, and the robots in disguise were
recently rediscovered by a new generation via the hugely successful
live-action film series directed by Michael Bay. Officially licensed by
Hasbro, The TRANSFORMERS Vault: The Complete TRANSFORMERS Universe
covers, for the first time ever, the complete history of TRANSFORMERS,
including toys, the original animated series, comics, collectibles, and
merchandise, as well as animated and live-action feature films. This
heavily illustrated book features never-before-seen images from the
Hasbro archives, seven interactive pieces of memorabilia, and an acetate
slipcase with a unique "transforming effect." Five visually driven
chapters feature early animation sketches, interviews with creators,
wooden sculptures for the original toys, patents, prototypes,
action-figure designs that never made it to production, vintage
packaging art, and set-design sketches from the Michael Bay films."

In an update over on FullMetalHero.com, Kapow Toys posted the following announcement yesterday:
"We received the full UK product listings up until Wave 3 today and the
new HA Basic's are not listed unless they are infact included in the
cyberverse line up but that looks unlikely. Perhaps this is a direct
result of the poor sales of the ROTF Human Alliance line which as most
people know Hasbro are still trying to clearance at half price and
without much success.
We will post the full UK waves later today and try and hopefully get firm word on the the fate of the HA line soon."
Does this mean that the UK won't get the scouts at all, or will they find their way into Tesco and Asda via their US deals? Time will tell

Kapow Toys are reporting, via their website
FullMetalHero.com, that the RRP for
Transformers toys are set to rise with the release of the
Transformers: Dark of the Moon line.
"This has yet to be confirmed directly by Hasbro but Forbidden Planet UK
have listed the following prices via their wholesale arm as the official
price points, the wholesale prices supplied which we cannot give out
would back up this price point if retailers are to make any money
1) Deluxe - £14.99
2) Voyager - £29.99
3) Leader - £59.99
4) Cyberverse Ark set - £44.99
5) Cyberverse Legends Basic - £5.99
6) Cyberverse Scouts - £12.99
Now this seems like a crazy move on Hasbros part if true, especially
after retailing RTS between - £10.95 - £12.95 on the domestic market."
