TFW2005 report that Space Coast, Florida have updated their Twitter
account with the following tweet regarding Transformers 3 "Transformers 3 to film on Florida's Space Coast! Filming to begin
September 2010!". TFW then go on to report that the Brevard County Film Commissioner Bonnie King have told Central Florida on
Demand that the filming will last about 8 days in early September. She says
location scouts have visited the area for 2-3 days at a time, looking at
other areas to shoot. Those include Patrick Air Force Base, Space Coast
Regional Airport in Titusville, Merritt Island Airport, Lone Cabbage
Fish Camp in Cocoa, and a Cocoa beach house. Scouts also checked out
some swamps and went into the woods.
What does this? Is there a chance we could be seeing characters like Astrotrain, Blast-Off or Omega Supreme in the third movie? Or does it mean that TF3 is going to be a live action version of Megatron's Master Plan? Think about. We've been told that there will be more Humans, we have already seen "Autobots, go home" graffiti and now word that they will be filming on the Space Coast. Add that with the "returning to the core mythos" and it it starts to look more like a possible premise for a third film. Of course this is just speculation on my part but it is early days so its fun to start building possible plots from what we've seen so far. Why not drop by our message board with your thoughts, or drop us a message on Twitter

The Botcon website has been updated with official images of their exclusive figure Clench. You can compare him to the original figure by using our toy gallery as a reference
If people thought the UK election resulted in mixed signals it has nothing on the Skids and Muflaps possible appearance in Transformers 3. First it was reported that they were in, then Michael Bay came out stating that they were not back for the third film, and now
leftlanenews.com reports, with imags, that they are back in the third film!
"Sporting “Autobot” center caps on the wheels, these two vehicles
were captured doing some pre-production work before principal filming
starts in a few weeks. We think you are looking at Skidz (green) and
Mudflap (orange).
Skidz is looking much sportier than in Transformers: Revenge of the
Fallen, with new front and rear fascias, larger fenders, sportier wheels
and a big wing. Mudflap was previously based on the Chevy Traxx
concept, but for this installment, it appears both cars will be built
off the Chevy Spark.
General Motors will once again be the main vehicle supplier for the
latest Transformers movie, so expect to see several other GM-badged
vehicles, including a black and yellow Chevy Camaro as Bumblebee."

Michael Bay has posted on his message board the comment "The Twins are not back in T3." as direct feedback to earlier reports that Mudflap and Skids were set to return in the third instalment of the live-action Transformers franchise.
Is Michael telling the truth of is this an attempt at misleading people, time will tell but due to the outcry at the characterisation of Skids and Mudflap in Revenge of the Fallen it was always likely that they would be "forgotten" for the third movie

In an update to their Twitter Account, Auto Assembly founder Simon has let everyone know that there have been 310 pre-registrations so far for this years event. Auto Assembly takes place in just 95 days time on the 13th - 15th August 2010 at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Smallbrook Queensway, Birmingham, England. This years guests of honour are Garry Chalk, Derrick J Wyatt and Scott McNeil.
As sponsors of the event Transformers At The Moon will be in attendance putting on one of our usual toy displays so remember to say hi when you see us.
Transformer fan Ben Brown has posted some ammature footage he recorded from the principle photography shoot that took place in Serman Oaks, California yesterday for Transformers 3. The scene being filmed was in downtown Los Angeles showing a car being thrown down the alley shortly after the Autobot Twins
cars had filmed a scene. Ben's blog post stated "Perched on the windowsill of the NeighborGoods
office, I recorded this awesome scene from the upcoming Transformers 3
movie. You can even hear Michael Bay yelling at people! We also
saw the Autobot “twins” zooming around. Apparently, one or both of them
will transform and beat the crap out of this tiny little car. Totally
awesome."
Ben also posted two pictures from the set on his Flickr page that show a cross-out Autobot symbol and the phrase "Go Home", suggesting some anti-Autobot feeling from the humans.
A coworker of Ben's, mickipedia also filmed the scene at the same time but from a different angle which you can view below.

While there are still over three months to go before Auto Assembly 2010 takes place, more information is being released about what is set once again to be Europe's biggest Transformers convention...
We are now pleased to unveil the programme for the weekend and the first outline details for the running order for the weekend is now available for viewing on the Auto Assembly website. While more events and programme items are being added to the event daily, this will show just what guests will be talking on each day, and what we have in store as part of our Saturday night line-up and what workshops will be taking place on each day.
For more specific information on some of the new things we are adding to the convention this year, check out the latest episode of our news videos on our Youtube channel here and we think you'll agree that it makes Auto Assembly a convention that you won't want to miss!
Spanning the weekend of Friday 13th - Sunday 15th August 2010 at the The Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England, the convention is playing host to a staggering 11 guests including three guests of honour (Garry Chalk, Scott McNeill and Derrick J Wyatt), and will feature toy and art displays, dealers, comic guests, free autograph sessions, a video games area, free workshops run by many of our guests, dedicated childrens programming, video screenings and so much more to be announced! There will also be Friday and Saturday evening programmes, exclusive for weekend attendees and the Saturday evening will play host to a party, a concert by rock band Next Of Kin (including a Transformers themed set with music from the 1986 animated movie!), costume competition, our voice actors will take to the stage to perform a BRAND NEW script written by Simon Furman and we still have a few more surprises in store...!
Because of the venue size, we are restricting attendance to a MAXIMUM of 550 people at the convention per day which can be made up of a combination of weekend and one-day attendees and once we hit that total we will be closing registrations so if you want to attend Europe's largest Transformers convention, you need to hurry and get your tickets now as we have already had over 300 pre-registrants so tickets are likely to be a complete sell-out!
Despite our running costs increasing for this year, we have frozen ticket prices from Auto Assembly 2009 and they are £45 for adults and £35 for children, students and senior citizens, with under 5s admitted free. Family tickets (2 adults and 2 children) are available for £145. Single day passes are available at reduced rates but these are VERY limited.
For more details on the convention, to see a full list of all the guests and activities taking place over the weekend, or to book your tickets, visit the website at www.autoassembly.org.uk
Auto Assembly 2010 is sponsored by www.transformertoys.co.uk and www.transformersanimated.com whose generosity have made Derrick J Wyatt's appearance at the convention possible.
This afternoon a dozen auctions ended on Yahoo Japan Auctions for various testshots and samples of Generation One and Diaclone figures. The auctions ended in total for over $7,600 (£5,167)! The auctions were for:
We waited a few days before putting these image galleries online to allow the auctions that were on Yahoo Japan to end to try to help protected the bidders against shill bidding.
Before anyone asks, no we did not win any of the auctions as we did not bid. The figures are will soon be in the hands of collectors so keep an eye out for newer images in the coming months, and some items may be sold on via eBay in the future.
For anyone interested in early samples, especially mock-up pieces, the Tracks mock-ups (more likely a Diaclone mock-up) are amazing pieces.
