You can now find two images galleries from the Transformers Animated The Battle Begins vs set comprising of Battle Damaged Optimus Prime and Battle Damaged Megatron online.

The total number of Transformers toy galleries on Transformers At The Moon slowly approches 2,100, and there are more updates to come today.

Having spent a few months and a lot of money acquiring back issues of TV Boy, TV Magazine, Hyper Hobby and Comic BomBom, we are very excited to be able to confirm the existence of a previously unreported Lucky Draw Transformer. The figure was given away in the December 2007 issue of TV Magazine and was limited to just five pieces. The toy is a gold chrome version of Transformers Movie Protoform Starscream.

As it the norm with TV Magazine end-of-year draws, lots of toys were given away in gold chrome and plastic versions. There were three Transformers figures included in the draw comprising of a gold chrome Voyager Optimus Prime (limited to 3), a gold chrome Protoform Optimus Prime (limited to 5) and the gold chrome Protoform Starscream (limited to 5) mentioned above.

The Voyager Optimus Prime figure had previously been seen right here at Transformers At The Moon and LuckyDrawTransformers.com, though we believe that the version of the figure that we own is actually a testshot of the final production piece. The gold chrome Protoform Optimus Prime has not been seen before on the internet, as far as we know, although we did report its existence earlier this year.

The images that appeared in TV Magazine are not of the final production pieces, therefore there is currently no way of knowing exactly how the final pieces turned out. The figures would have been released to the winners in March / April this year, around the time that that Voyager Optimus Prime toy first appeared.

That's right the BBC website is currently running a story on Transformers and Auto Assembly.

The story, which includes a small interview with Sven Harvey, touches on the long running Transformers convention, the impact of the Transformers Movie.

From that came a small local Star Trek fan club but as interest in Star Trek wained, we thought we could try meeting I the same vein with Transformers. Along with Star Trek and Star Wars, Transformers is the most popular science fiction franchise on the internet."

In a post on his message board Don Murphy posted a link to an article on reserveresult.com which claims that the Transformers Movie sequel will have the tag line Revenge of the Fallen. As regular visitor to the site will know, we broke the news that Hasbro Inc has applied for a trademark with the USPTO for that mark along with Revenge of Unicron, Return to Cybertron, Revenge of the Decepticons and Return of the Decepticons.

Hasbro then later confirmed the title for the second Transformers Movie as Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen in an article on Transformers.com. The fallen in the title of cause refers to the Decepticons and not the character The Fallen.

Roberto Orci has also confirmed that the title was actually the brainchild of Alex Kurtzman himself, according to a poster on Shoot for the Edit.

Jason H has sent Transformerslive.blogspot.com a few images and information from the final nights filming from the Bethlehem Steel works where the opening scene of the Transformers Movie will take place.

"It is almost 6AM in the morning for me and I work at 9AM. I just got back from the final day at the movie set. This was pretty much the most amazing day of my life. I saw explosions, I saw helicopters again, I saw and met all the actors, and I finally was let into the movie set to watch the last scene in Bethlehem filmed.

When my friend Ben and I arrived at the set 8-ish at night we saw Bethlehem steel fully bright and active. We could immediately tell that Mr. Bay was filming today, even though it called for showers throughout the night. Luckily for us and them, it didn't rain too much.

Randomly, my friend Benand I were standing in front of Bethlehem steel, pretty much filming with his camcorder for fun. We planned to capture the helicopters circling around the steel mill... but randomly at the right moment and time we captured a massive explosion effect from start to end.

Throughout the night we saw minor random explosions and various small effects not really worth noting. At around 3-ish in the morning I heard commotion at the actors’ trailers. I ran over to the location to see Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson (pics below) heading to their trailers. I was able to snap a few pictures of them and I also asked if they were finished filming in Bethlehem, and they said yes.

My friend and I didn't feel fully satisfied with the trip. We really wanted to meet Michael Bay. So we waited at one the secured filming barriers hoping he would come up from the set to greet us when he was finally done filming. An hour or so passed by, we witnessed about two more explosions on set. Finally I see a black SUV drive up near us. I was thinking it was security either preparing to tell us to leave or inform us that Mr. Bay was coming up to say hey.

Well. Two people greeted us and announced that everyone (around 20-30 people) was invited on set to witnessed Mr. Bay film the last scene here in Bethlehem. I am not going to describe what I saw out of respect for this film. I was also unable to have my cell phone nor camera on during my time spent on the set. But I am willing to say it blew my mind away, also I saw how the scene looked through TV monitors while Mr. Bay was too. "

He has also posted a video on YouTube which features some of the explosions and gun fire
