moviemikes.com has revealed some details on the new Transformers 3 human character Hardcore Eddie played by Lester Speight.
"Tell us about your role in the upcoming “Transformers 3??
Lester Speight : I am not sure if you know but “Transformers 3? has just eclipsed “Titanic” as the largest budgeted film ever. $400 million and still going north! We are totally taking over downtown Chicago. The city is buzzing and it is crazy around here. I play Hardcore Eddie. Tyrese’s character Robert Epps calls me in. I was in a war with his father. I always told his dad I would look out for him and watch his back. I am doing all the heavy shooting, rocket launchers and kicking ass. Hardcore Eddie is old school soldier who has seen it all and done it all. I am just kicking ass and blowing up shit. Michael (Bay) just created such a great character."

KOToys.com have gotten their hands on some of the TakaraTomy Transformers Animated Lucky Draw Gold Deluxe Optimus Prime figures and have posted a mini gallery over on their message board. The toy is 100% legit and will be given out to 1000 winners at the end of this month, though a 12 of the toys (they are packed 12 to a case) have found their way to KOtoys. Oh and yes, you read that right 12 to a case, so that means that there will certainly not be 1000 of the items since its not a multiple of 12.

Hasbro have filed for 4 new Transformers related trademarks with the USPTO. You can view all of the details in our Transformers Trademark area which is updated constantly throughout the day by our dedicated news-bots, but here is the list of all of the new applications:
Could these be related to the third live action Transformers Film? Quiet likely. "Spark You Summer" sounds very much like an advertising theme similar to Transform Your Summer. "Autobot Alliance" is the Japanese name for the "Hunt For The Decepticons" subline (thanks to King Grimlock for pointing that out) whilst "Destination Earth" remains uncertain.

Another Transformers Animated campaign figure has been announced, this time running in the Japanese Transformers Animated comic known as The Cool. The campaign will be for a crystal (clear coloured) Transformers Animated Activators Optimus Prime. The details will be in next months issue though we are working on translating the text from the images.
Following up from the earlier news report about the coloured Masterpiece Rodimus toy being revealed in Japan this weekend as the C3X event, several other Japanese blogs have new, clearer and larger images from the event including the presentation. You can find them using the links below.
YouTuber Mazainjapan2008 has posted some images and videos from Chara-Hobby (Character Hobby) which is currently taking place within Japan. This event saw the first showing of the coloured Masterpiece Rodimus as well as showing the just released Transformers Animated Hydrodive Bumblebee and Wingblade Optimus Prime. The event also showed the new Transformers Animated Lucky Draw Silver Bumblebee figure which will be given away to 40 winners split between two chains of stores within Japan. You can find the videos and images below.
GENgoraw has posted several images on the file and video sharing website YFrog from the C3 Hobby Show (Character Hobby) that is currently taking place within Japan. The images include a first look at the painted Masterpiece Rodimus Prime figure and include proof that the toy does indeed Transform into Hot Rod as well. Previously it had been speculated and the recent image showing that the toy has two faces added to that speculation, but the final proof is in these images which show the toy in Hot Rods vehicle mode.
Thanks to Phill for posting the following toy sightings on our message board.
"Edinburgh Forbidden Planet had the Deluxe and Leader classes of the Hunt
for the Decepticons in. Leaders were £44.99 and Deluxes were £12.99.
Starscream looks a lot better than the Voyager one.
On another
note I spoke to someone in Tesco, and they said that if there's no
Generations in the catalogue, then they're unlikely to get them in the
store. Also was told that they're likely to only have 3 HftD Voyagers in
between now and Christmas as the catalogue only says 3 to collect. So
that's Seaspray, Payload and the redeco Ratchet."
