In an interview with UGO Movie Blog, Transformers co-writer Roberto Orci is reported as to saying that Frank Welker will be voicing Soundwave in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.  Frank was expected to be announced as voicing several characters in the tie-in computer game but had recently suggested that he would not be voicing anyone in the live action film.

Take the news with a pinch of salt just incase wires have become crossed, but it does sound like Mr Welker will be picking up his G1 Soundwave role for the second live action movie

Snakas has posted some information on the June issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine that is now out in Japan which I have summarised below.

The Transformers Revenge of the Fallen figures are shown with the first figures due for release on the 30th May.

The distribution campaign Micron figures are shown )they are also shown in this months Figure King magazine).  To qualify for the figures you need to spend 3,000 yen or more, though Snakas points out that the information is rather sketchy.

The Design Wave concept images are shown with no character names being given.

Alternity Megatron is listed by this magazine as having a release date at the end of June, though Figure King reports the release of the toy as closer to the middle of that month.  The Super-Convoy black version is mentioned but no images were shown.

Finally a new book is announced in the magazine, Transformers / Revenge Book.
