Thanks to TFWorld2005for the spot.

More news for G.I-Joe fans, Dennis Quaid has signed on to the project to play General Hawk, with Arnold Vosloo signing on to play the ever-popular Zartan. There is still no word on who will voice Destro, though we expect the actor to be announced in the coming forthnight.

This news follows closely on the heals that Hollywood Reporter broke regarding Channing Tatum will be playing Duke in the film. The role was originally going to be played by Sam Worthington, though he could not coordinate the production's schedule with his current work on James Cameron's "Avatar," which has run over schedule.

Scarlett - Rachel Nichols
Ripcord - Marlon Wayans
Heavy Duty - Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

Type-R has uploaded some scans of the latest Japanese collectors magazines showing off the Transformers Revoltech Starscream and Hot Rodimus, Encores Sky Lynx and Jazz, Transformers Movie Trans-Scanning figures, Masterpiece Starscream USA Edition, Wonderfest G1 Colors Arcee, Allspark Power Black Arcee, and Transformers Henkei to TFWorld2005

Part One Limited, the company behind e-Hobby Shop, have a listing for Transformers Encore 08 Meister (Jazz). The description below the image states that the toy will have a "new head" and speaks about the Transformers Movie incarnation of Jazz.

It is strongly believed that the head will use the Stepper mold, rather than the original Meister head.

At the bottom of the page it states, Transformation Robot x1, Condor x1, although this could simply be a misprint from the Encore Soundwave listing.

Remember: e-Hobby Shop are no longer taking orders from customers outside of Japan
