Following yesterday's spot of an auction for Transformers Movie Big Daddy, three new auctions have been found for more, previously unknown, Wal-Mart Exclusive Transformers Movie toys.

First up is Jolt, a recolour of the Transformers Galaxy Force Autovolt (Transformers Cybertron Crosswise). The second is Grindcore, a green repaint of Transformers Galaxy Force Guardshell (Transformers Cybertron Landmine) and the third is Divebome, a repaint of Transformers Galaxy Force / Cybertron Thundercracker.

Big Daddy was the leader of the Generation One Micromaster Hot Rod patrol.

Whilst out doing some final Christmas shopping I noticed that Woolworths aer now stocking the Transformers Movie Real Gear Nigh Beat 7 toy, the blue recolour of Booster-X.

The first wave of the Real Gear Transformers toys didn't come out by us, so I was pleasently surprised to see one of the later figures make it across.

Woolworths also stock the Legends of Cybertron Transformers Movie toys, having a bucket of them. The only problem is they are all LOC Megatrons!

Thanks to Seibertron.com for pointing out another Transformers Movie Scout toy auction on Taobao, this time for Storm Surge, a repaint of the Transformers Cybertron Shortround

TRANSFORMERS� Movie Scout: STORM SURGE™
STORM SURGE is so named because of his all-encompassing approach to combat. Allies and opponents alike rarely leave a fight in which he is involved without being soaked in corrosive salt acid, or bathed in jellied gasoline. During fights at sea, the water around him erupts constantly into geysers as his depth charges roll indiscriminately into the ocean. On land, he sprays the area around him with emitters housed on his arms, figuring that the more destructive power he puts out, the more likely it is he’ll take out his AUTOBOT� enemies.

Asian auction site TaoBao is featuring a new auction for a Target Exclusive Transformers Movie Basic Crosshairs toy, this time showing the bio of the character.

Armorer and Weapons Master for the Autobots, Crosshairs is used to dealing with some of the most dangerous technology in the galaxy. Long use has taught him to be painstakingly methodical, but has also caused him to be so entrenched in his systematic organizational methods that no other Autobot could hope to find anything in the vast armory on Cybertron. Crosshairs is so careful that he will not issue a weapon unless the requester fills out forms detailing--in triplecate--his need.

Thanks to TFW2005 for pointing it out!

Hinatatiki has been updated with a full gallery of the Japanese release of the Transformers Movie Night Watch Optimus Prime figure, both in and out of packaging.

In a post over on Don Murphy's message board, Robert Orci has posted an apology regarding how the writers strike may affect the second Transformers Movie;

"How are you?

As you know, all screenwriters are engaged in a labor dispute with the major studios and media conglomerates that subsidize much, but not all of the media content that we consume. It may go on for a very long time. All the other writers I've talked to on every level are ready to hold out FOREVER, all the while figuring out ways to make a living out of the internet without studios.

So now the hard part for me and Alex and Ehren and all fans of Transformers is that the movie may suffer (unless of course you hate the first one so much that you feel our inattention is a bonus). It may be pushed back or a host of other thing may happen to it. For that we apologize truly.

will keep you posted..."

Moviehole.net is reporting that Darius McCrary, the voice behind Jazz in the Transformers Movie is in talks to reprise his role as the Autobot for the movie's sequel, tentatively scheduled for release in June 2009.

This sounds a little odd, reviving Jazz in the second film, and you have to remember that director Michael Bay stated that false information would be leaked to purposefully mislead fans and spoilers.

In other Transformers Movie 2 news, Paramount Pictures UK have told us that they ave already received requests by UK media and press companies hoping to get On-Set-Passes in order to film / get scoops on the expected smash hit.
