TF08.net’s Yizhi521 has posted many new images of Rollbar from the upcoming movie’s toy line, in-package. Here we have a good look at the packaging, his bio, and confirmation that his name will indeed be “Rollbar” and that he’s in the scout class price point. Click here to view all of the images.

You may also read his bio below:

“ROLLBAR is happiest when he‘s following orders. He is uncomfortable with improvisation, and terrified of being put into a leadership position. Despite that, he is a highly skilled navigator, and has a keen mind for tactics, making him an invaluable asset to his commanders. He is extremely strong and tough, and though he prefers not to fight, he can be a challenge to DECEPTICONS many times his size.”

eBay- Two new auctions for the new movie Starscream, and movie Thundercracker repaints have shown up on eBay.

Ramjet is a repaint of the movie Starscream mold, and Skywarp is a repaint of the movie Thundercracker mold (in itself, Thundercracker is a repaint of Starscream, but he has a remolded head, and was also used for the Target exclusive G1-deco movie Starscream).

You can view the auction for Ramjet here, and for Skywarp here, and see the robot mode images below.

Now we need to know if they are being sold as store exclusives, where, and when. Many thanks to eBay seller, psikyo1974cw.

Thanks to our friends over at TF08.net for giving us a better look at the vehicle modes of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Ramjet & Skywarp.

The best thing about this picture is that it gives us a better top down look at the tail end of the vehicle modes and reveals what looks to be the original Movie Starscream head mould on both figures.

Love em' or hate em' looks like Seeker repaints are going to happen.

Empire Magazine Online- The previous images and story we shared from Empire magazine teased an article about the new Transformers movie in their upcoming issue. Apparently, some people have gotten word of material written in the article, and share it below.


*Possible Movie Spoilers Below*

http://www.empireonline.com/magazine/interactive.asp



*Bay and LaBeouf confirm the Fallen is a separate character. The Fallen was described by Bay as "Apocalyptic"
*Egyptian hieroglyphics, turn out to be depictions of Transformers who visited Earth before the pyramids were built.
*Bay claims Megatron is not coming back and the tank is just a new toy.
*Around 40 robots.
*Budget is $200 million.
*Ramon Rodriguez is the one holding on for dear life to a pole while cars are flung.
*Devastator appears at the pyramid, he's probably 50 feet tall because that's the height of the camera crane they used on location.

What do you think about these movie claims? Bay misinformation, or truth? Have you read the article? Share your thoughts below!

Revenge of the Fallen is catching more media attention as USA Today posted a second article about the upcoming movie. The article describes the army equipment and cooperation that was needed to make this sequel.

Amid blinding platinum dunes baking in the 105-degree sun, scores of elite servicemen and women cluster in and around real tanks, rocket launchers and personnel carriers as they unleash a machine-gun barrage at an invisible (and entirely fictional) enemy: Transformers.

These troops, many of them recently returned from the actual life-and-death realities of Iraq and Afghanistan, aren't professional actors. But for the moment, they are the stars and this is the climactic battle of next summer's sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

USA Today has a featured article up on their site about the upcoming Michael Bay movie, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. And the use of the US Military Forces for the movie.

"The U.S. Department of Defense gave its official stamp of approval to the Michael Bay-directed film, not only allowing production amid the pristine dunes of the Army's New Mexico missile range, but also letting filmmakers follow jets and fighter planes through the sky from nearby Holloman Air Force Base. More scenes were shot on the Navy's aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis, and Marines fill the ranks of the strike team battling the invading Transformers".

"Among the equipment the movie is using in this desert sequence alone: two A-10 Thunderbolt II "Warthog" tank-killing jets; six F-16 Fighting Falcons; 10 armored Humvees; the Army's Golden Knights parachute team; two Abrams tanks; two Bradley tanks; two missile-launcher vehicles; two armored personnel carriers; and a quarter-mile of the missile testing range, cleared of unexploded ordnance and built into an Egyptian town and temple. (Signs warn not to cross a perimeter just over the gypsum dunes, because live bombs could be hidden in the sand)".
