TFcon 2010 have announced that Transformers Animated lead art director / lead designer Derrick J Wyatt will be attending the convention in Canada which takes place between the July 17th and 18th July in Toronto.  Derrick will be joining David Kaye and Mark Ryan at the event.

For those Transformers fans not in Canada or who are unable to make the convention and wish to meet Derrick do not forget that Mr Wyatt will be in the UK for Auto Assembly 2010 between August 13th and August 15th which gives everyone not only in the UK and Europe, but around the world another chance to meet and greet the great man himself along with Garry Chalk, Scott McNeil, Simon Furman, Nich Roche and many many others.

TFW2005.com have posted translations of the profiles and boxes of both Transformers Alternity Starscream and Transformers Alternity Skywarp which you can find here and here.

Simon Furman has updated his blog with another Script (W)rap entry.

A sort of combined deal this time around, a script (w)rap for Transformers Nefarious #4 and also a pre-release teaser for the same, as it hits stores this coming week (June 16th in the US, 17th in the UK). Last issue saw Soundwave slip through the Autobots’ collective fingers and this issue he’s decided enough is enough. The human organization responsible for both the resurrection/usurping of Ravage and the manipulations that landed Soundwave in trouble in the first place is going down — hard! But the Initiative has tricks up its sleeve that, once again, even Soundwave hasn’t seen coming. And at last we learn some of the how and why about this mysterious and far-reaching organization (which seems to have an uncanny grasp of Cybertronian technology) and its coldly calculating director, Carter Newell. Just how long does his relationship with the robots in disguise go back? What traumatic event eventually gave rise to the Initiative? The answers will surprise you. And, meanwhile, director of national security Theodore Galloway is well and truly in the firing line — hunted by none other than Ransack! Things are looking distinctly terminal in that direction! Nefarious #4 is out in the next few days, with story by me art by the incredible Carlos Magno. Don’t miss it!

­SlashFilm have posted an article regarding the third live action Transformers film, still as yet unnamed, which covers some plot details, confirmation that the film will also see a 3D release (as was expected) and just who the main villain will be this time around.

* Final confirmation that movie will be released in 3D. No word on if it will be shot in 3D or converted in post. Knowing Bay's obsession with film, I'm assuming he agreed on a post process.
* The villain in Transformers 3 is "Shockwave, the robot cyclops-turned-laser-cannon, who became dictator of their home world of Cybertron after the other Autobots and Decepticons journeyed to Earth." Makes sense.
* Bay claims "One thing we're getting rid of is what I call the dorky comedy" adding the The Twins are "basically gone" but comic relief John Turturro returns. Bay's "basically gone" comment seems to confirm that they have a short appearance in the film.
* In the new film Sam Witwicky is "taking his first tenuous steps into adulthood while remaining a reluctant human ally of Optimus Prime. "Shia has this great line: 'You know, I've saved the world twice, but I can't get a job.'" Okay, so Transformers is never gonna get a screenplay nomination at the Academy Awards.
* The plot also "delves into the space race between the U.S.S.R. and the USA, suggesting there was a hidden Transformers role in it all that remains one of the planet's most dangerous secrets. "The movie is more of a mystery," Bay says. "It ties in what we know as history growing up as kids with what really happened."
* Transformers 3 is the end of a trilogy. Bay says "As a trilogy, it really ends. It could be rebooted again, but I think it has a really killer ending." It basically sounds like Bay is done with the series, and the ending of the movie is a finale of sorts.
* The film also features a set "built to resemble a dilapidated nuclear reactor."

Cybertron.ca member transbot90210 has posted a sighting for the Toys R Us exclusive Cybertronian Mode Ratchet and Arcee Transformers Animated deluxe figures.  The toys Canadian release will give hope to other countries that they may yet still see a domestic release of these figures themselves.
