Stories by Robin Etherington and art by Jon Davis-Hunt we take a look at Titan Transformers Magazine issue 15 which features a time warp of confusion for Soundwave seen here And issue 16 which leaves Blazemaster spark searching after an encounter with Thundercracker seen here.

Well it looks like there's less than meets to eye to the previous report that TF3 had surpased the $400 Million production mark. From a statement posted to his blog shootfortheedit.com, Michael Bay has stated somewhat angrily judging from the lack of grammar that "Lester is moron. He has no clue about much, other then to try to get internet hype..." It is not exactly clear if Bay is denying the $400M or if he is just trying to distract people when he goes on to comment "Movie is $ just above Revenge."

Forbes.com has named Shia LaBeouf number one on the list of actors that give the studios the most bang for their buck, Reuters reports. According to the financial news' own calculations, Mr. LaBeouf makes $81 for the studios for every $1 he is paid for making a film. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen made $836 million worldwide box office and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which made $787 million. Anne Hathaway (Alice In Wonderland), Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter series), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), and Cate Blanchett (Robin Hood) round out the top five, respectively.

Lestor Speight, who stars as Hardcore Eddie alongside Tyrese Gibson (USAF Retired Master Sergeant Robert Epps) in Transformers 3, has revealed that the film has surpassed Titanic as the largest budgeted film ever, and also revealed additional information on his character. Speaking with Movie Mikes, Mr. Speight says that Transformers 3 surpassed the $400 Million mark and is "still going north!"

Youtube reviewer EmGo has posted a new review on Transformers Hunt For the Decepticons Deluxe Tomahawk. The figure is part of the third wave of the deluxe line that was released this month. View the video embedded after the jump.

We have just been sent some new official Transformers images from Hasbro. They would like to let everyone know summer's almost over and there's some stuff coming out way. Sorry, not much in the way of news. Trust me, we beg for it and get this. Anywho, look at official images of the Sunspot, Firetrap, Stakeout, Crnakcase, Battle Ops Bumblebee w/ Bio, The Fallen repaint, Highbrow, Rescue Rathchet and Human Alliance stuff after the jump.

As Transformers 3 filming wraps up in Chicago by September 1st, the crew is preparing for their arrival and filming at the Packard Plant in Detroit, Michigan. The Packard Plant is an abandoned car assembly plant for the now defunct Packard automotive company. The images taken by Detroit Urbex show off some rather large guns and wreckage. It is unclear if Detroit will be labeled as such in the film. Filming is expected to take somewhere between two to three weeks.

More news by way of Allspark who have posted more news that Family Mart, a Japanese Convenience Store, will be the ones offering the Exclusive Transformers as lucky draws in October, 2101. Thanks to higekumatoytoy who have followed up the news with pics of the clear Prime as well as the Animated Deluxe Earth Mode Optimus Prime, and Animated Activators Skywarp.

Fresh from Chara Hobby 2010 in Japan come the first images of Masterpiece Movie MP-M02 Bumblebee. MP-M02 is a more detailed repaint of Battle Ops Bumblebee. No indication of price just yet. Thanks to Images come from Ngee Khiong via CyberGundam Blog and AmiAmi Blog.

Thanks to TFLAMB for the heads up on something that could be potentially quite spoilerish is not all together strange and hard to understand, as usual. Anywho, these new video clips show a number of interesting things including two black Chevrolet Suburbans vehicles that are Decepticons. Also a security guard says the name of the Autobot fire truck is not Rodimus Prime but "Sentinel Prime" as the father of Optimus. Oh boy! Thanks to zztopeurope and DJ BigTymeBeats for news.

I know I'm late with this. Sorry, I had a busy week. Anyway, I went to Wizard World Chicago Comic Con last Saturday. The highlight was meeting Mark Ryan and getting my '07 Bumblebee's autographed. As I'm sure you all know Mark Ryan is the voice actor behind (ahem) Bumblebee and more prominently, Jetfire. He also fills in for the other voice actors in scenes with the human performers in the Transformers movies.

Thanks to UK-based website Mail Online, we have new images from the Transformers 3 Chicago shoot, which includes Shia LaBeouf (Sam Witwicky), Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (Carly), and John Turturro (Agent Simmons). We believe this is the first time Mr. Turturro has been sighted on the set. Alan Tudyk revealed that Agent Simmons was returning when he revealed his role in Transformers 3, which is Simmons' "assistant and weapons expert, computer hacker, cyber sleuth." Read more.
