Reports are coming in that the third Transformers movie, believed to be the grammatically strange Transformers: Dark of the Moon, has now finished.

There are conflicting reports if this finshing of filming is just within the US or also internationally.

If the film has finished, which is due for release in 2011, we should be able to expect something official coming out later this year as the online viral and teaser campaigns run.

An annonymous tipster has posted the following news story to Transformers At The Moon.

New Transformers are on the way (and 3 for 2) courtesy of boots.com.

Tomahawk, Terradive, Rescue Ratchet, Electrostatic Jolt and Axor.

All are out of stock at the moment. But it does look like they will be released soon in time for Christmas.

Shane McCarthy has updated his blog with an entry that contains an RTF download of the Drift script which gives everyone a look at how the first issue of the Drift mini-series was presented to the artists.

I get a lot of questions regarding how I go about writing and specifically how I lay out my scripts.  I figured it was time to post one up to make it easier to see how I go about it all…Maybe down the track I’ll post up how I get to full script in more detail but for now I’ll just say I follow the usual path of basic idea…outline…beatsheet…full script.

I’ve chosen the script from TRANSFORMERS: DRIFT #1.  I write my scripts in Final Draft but I present it here in Rich Text format to make it more accessible.

Enjoy.

TRANSFORMERS – DRIFT #1

Another Amazon update has revealed a very loose plot summary for the third live action Transformers film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

The Autobots Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide and Sideswipe led by Optimus Prime, are back in action, taking on the evil Decepticons, who are determined to avenge their defeat in 2009’s Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. In this new movie, the Autobots and Decepticons become involved in a perilous space race between the U.S. and Russia, and once again human Sam Witwicky has to come to the aid of his robot friends. There's new characters too, including a new villain in the form of Shockwave, a longtime "Transformers" character who rules Cybertron while the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out on Earth.

TakaraTomy have released Transformers Alternity Thundercracker in Singapore.  The toy is a blue recolour of Alternity Starscream and completes the original three seeker line-up in Alternity form.

You may remember a month or so ago we announced news that Paramount Pictures published details of a gold deluxe Transformers Animated Megatron figure.  Well the page was pulled after four days of being online from their server and nothing was ever officially said again, that is until now as TakaraTomy have updated their own site with the same images and information on the competition which you can find here.

The toy will be officially limited to 1000 pieces, though like the Gold Animated Optimus Prime, more will be made

Having originally been scheduled for release in the UK, then rumoured to have been cancelled we have received reports that the Transformers Generations Cybertronian Megatron (War for Cybertron Megatron) and Darkmount have now been released.

Mr Nurie has seen them in Smyths whilst Shadowdancer has seen the pair in Toys R Us, both priced at £9.99.

Well it didn't take long, the Hub officially launched on the 10th October and within three days its already causing problems in the US with campaign groups up in arms about the station just being an advert for Hasbro toys.  "The notion of a toy company owning a television channel for the sole purpose of promoting their toys is egregious practice," said Susan Linn, director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood.

Not only that but legal groups are already preparing cases against the Hasbro / Discovery joint venture for unfair competition amongst other charges.

Credit to TFW2005 for finding that Hasbro have already filed an application with the USPTO for the mark The Dark Of The Moon.  That is of course the title of the third and final Michael Bay live action Transformers Movie.

Our own Trademark checking revealed that Hasbro actually filed for the mark under four separate categories.

1. DARK OF THE MOON
2. DARK OF THE MOON
3. DARK OF THE MOON
4. DARK OF THE MOON

TFW2005.com have some new images of the recently started Japanese store campaign figures that are available at Family Mart.  The exact quantity of each item is not yet know however according to a members or TFW2005, 2,000 stores are offering this lottery now, and each store has..

Prize A - Clear ROTF leader Prime: Qty. 2
Prize B - Animated DX Prime : Qty. 5
Prize C - Activators Skywarp: Qty. 6
Prize D - Clear EZ/Legends: Qty. 20
Prize E: - Deformed figurines Qty. 21
Prize F: - Lanyards Qty. 22
Prize G - Tumblers: Qty. 24

This figures are clearly wrong as TakaraTomy pack the cases that they send to stores with an even amount of figures. Each figure is sent in solid pack cases, normally of the same size as the regular figures. With the recent Gold Deluxe Animated Prime, the toys were shipped 12 to a case.

IDW has annouced more details of it's interlicence cross over which will see Zombies invade the universes of Transformers, GI Joe, Star Trek and Ghostbusters.

Comic Book Resource has more information.
