Simon Furman has updated his blog with some mini teasers on Transformers Devastation Issue 5.
"As with my last Script (W)rap, for Beast Wars The Ascending #4, as we
get further into a series (one where people are still to read issue #1,
which comes out next week by the way), it’s tougher to tease and easier
to inadvertantly give away stuff you later wish you hadn’t. There’s
just so much BIG stuff happening in Devastation I’m particularly wary
of anything approaching a true spolier. I don’t want to lose that big
‘wow’ factor when you finally see all this on the page. So, in very
general terms, for the Autobots this is very much an aftermath issue
(after #4’s simply colossal dust-up with Decepticon living weapon
Sixshot). But boy, what an aftermath! The life and death stuff that
wasn’t resolved last issue is resolved here (E.R. eat your heart out).
And Optimus Prime makes a decision that will stun you. Seriously. As
for the Decepticons, they’ve got Reaper trouble. If you thought the
Reapers just amounted to the six you saw in Spotlight Sixshot, think
again! And it’s not just external forces plaguing Megatron. Trouble
comes to a head within as well, in the shape of… well, that would give
the game away, though once you see EJ’s fabulous cover you’ll know. And
(’cause this one’s packed to the rafters) there’s more on Hunter, more
on the Headmasters, more on Hot Rod and Wheeljack and even a tease of a
certain upcoming Spotlight featuring, well, the one I said I’d sideline
for as long as possible, but then I started getting withdrawal symptoms
and, anyway, you’ll see! This one doesn’t hit stores until January 08!
But it’ll be worth the wait, I promise! For more details on all IDW
Transformers titles, visit the IDW website here."

Thanks to TFWorld2005 member Skywarpantulus for posting an image of part of the head of Megatron from the Transformers Animated cartoon series. You can see Skywarpantulus's original thread here and a mirror of the image by clicking on the thumbnail below.
The face of Megatron appears to be from his Cybertronian mode and fits in nicely to the previous news which Skywarpantulus posted regarding spoilers for the Transformers Animated series.

Heerotoysmaker has added an image gallery to his photobucket account showing images of the Battle Damaged Transformers Movie Optimus Prime figure. The figure, which will most likely be an exclusive, has no known set release date or store.

.. keep in mind this was mentioned at a rumor site. There's no deal in
place, but people have been talking about this one from the start,
simply because Simon Furman is writing both books. I think it'd be cool
and feel organic to what we've been doing for that reason, but there's
nothing signed or scheduled, it's just talk, the same way the JLA one
was a year ago. But either way, I can't see how a crossover is
weakening the brand.
That was Chris Ryall's comments posted on the IDW Publishing forums in response to the rumours started on Comic Book Resource and then reported on TFWorld2005.

In a post over on his official message board, Don Murphy comments on one of the reasons behind why there has been little news on the expected Transformers Movie 2 film and how it relates to an expected strike in May 2008.
"For those of you most anxious about TRANSFORMERS 2, the silence you
hear is primarily because people are fretting about a presumed strike
in June 2008. Will it happen? I don’t know- does the public care about
strikes anymore in this day and age? What do rich people have to strike
about anyway? I don’t have any side here ( you hear about the writers
and the Producers but that actually means the STUDIOS) I just think
stopping work is kind of pointless. But since no one wants to be
filming IF a strike happens, everything needs to be done filming by the
end of May 2008. So this is affecting the lack of news about
Transformers 2 at least for now. Stay tuned."

As well as the cover, you can find various images from this months issue (Transformers Issue 3) which is not yet for sale that we picked up at the London Film and Comic-con.

A lot of fans, ourselves included, are fascinated with Transformers Hardcopies and Prototypes, and the differences between then and final released toys. One of a few experts, and hard-core collectors, of these items is Ras (who posts on various Transformers message boards). He recently posted various images of his collection, which you can see on our Transformers Forum.

Big Phill (also know as Phill) posted a topic of TFWorld2005 regarding a yellow version of the Chinese Transformers Movie Swerve toy. You can see Phill's thread here and the auction here.
There's currently no information on why the toy is yellow and not red, or if there are any other colours.
