ACToys.net has posted an image of last years Wonderfest exclusive Black Convoy, originally a loose figure, in what appears to be Henkei/Gentei packaging. This could suggest that this figure may see a wider release, much like recent Henkei store exclusives Thrusts/Dirge and Gentei Strafe. However, it could also be some sort of early test shot that's just surfacing now.

The official Transformers Revenge of the Fallen website has been updated to reflect that the UK release date for the film will be on June 19th, 2009, the friday prior to the original June 24th date. Great news for fans in the UK, but it doesn't stop there. Seibertron.com member Patrick Foley tipped us to this info.

It appears that Michael Bays official website has also had an update done. The counter counting down to the release of ROTF has been shaved by a few days putting the release at a possible June 22nd date. Little strange since that falls on a Monday. Click the links above to see for yourself.

Seibertron.com member Stickshift has just revealed some very cool news to us here. Here's what he had to share:

I've just got back from a fruitless evening of Transformers shopping in Hong Kong, but I did find something interesting.

In one of my regular (and reliable) Transformers dealer's stores I saw a notice for the pre-order of Disney Label Donald Duck, who appears to transform into a Yellow Beetle. Due for release in August for around $30 (US)

Sorry for the poor picture quality, the image itself was blurry and I was using an iPhone to take the photo.



Does this mean that the Disney Label will continue? Has Takara joined forces with one of the US's largest amusement moguls? Will keep you posted as more details develop.

Seibertron.com member Hyper-Chicken has found an interesting post over at Cybertron.ca

It seems their member megashockwave has found an interesting item in the Toys R Us Canada computers:
TRANSFORMERS UNVRS G1 COMMEMORATIVE SRS
($49.99, SKU: 847585, UPC: 653569444213)

There's an estimated shipping date of September 2009.

Is this another G1 re-issue like the previous TRU commemorative series? Or perhaps signs that the Universe line may not be dead after all?

Stay tune to Seibertron.com as we find out more.

Kapow Toys has updated their website with information regarding a wider release of the FansProject Powered Commander with chromed accents to match those of the Henkei version of Classics Convoy. The set will include the energon suitcase and missile launchers just as the TFCon version did and according to the preorder, the release date is sometime at the end of this month.

Until FansProject and other retailers follow-up about this, it may need to be treated as a rumor.

To check out the preorder at Kapow Toys, click Here




UPDATE:
The TFCon website has been updated with their reaction to this rumor:
May 11th - We at TFcon wish to extend an apology to any attendees or fans who feel slighted by recent events concerning the release of a Henkei Commander Set. We at TFcon were unaware of any intention of FansProject to release the set (with or without changes), and had been informed that this colour scheme would be exclusive to our convention. We regret that this is not the case, and hope that the actions of FansProject will not reflect poorly on our show, as they are outside of our control.

Transformerslive.blogspot.com has an interesting update on the ShoWest footage regarding the Ravage character, namely Ravage's alt mode. This rumor/speculation goes against what some believe about the character's Earthly form but since it could be true, it is a potentially big spoiler.
