The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that many of the main cast members from the first film will be returning for the sequel, with some good and some bad.
Shia LaBeouf is a given, as well as Megan Fox, to return and Tyrese Gibson had already been mentioned, as had Isabel Lucas and Rainn Wilson, but also coming back for a second go are , Josh Duhamel and John Turturro. It isn’t clear how Turturro will fit in, as Sector Seven was terminated at the end of the first film.
King Darkness of the Sideshow Freaks message boards has posted photos of Ironhide, the GMC Topkick and two unseen vehicles, a 3 wheel motorcycle and a Can-Am Spyder.
The photos were taken at a state checkpoint, on their way to Philadelphia. Due to Michael Bay’s tricks, we don’t know if the motorcycle and Cam-Am Spyder are decoy vehicles or actual Transformers.
Be sure to check back on Tuesday, when shooting starts and Optimus Prime makes his way.
Hasbro has updated its Transformers.com with a pdf document titled “How to Draw”, shows you how to draw Transformers: Animated Bumblebee, which can be found here.
be sure to look out for further guides in the “How to Draw” series.
In an interview with MTV, Rainn Wilson, who stars in the American version of The Office, confirmed that he is to join the cast of Transformers 2.
It isn’t clear who he will be playing, but our best guess is that it is either a human or a robot.
Paramount have finally announced details of Transformers on Blu-ray for 2nd September in North America.
The 2 disc set will contain the movie in anamorphic widescreen (and rumoured to be optimised for Blu-ray) with improved audio tracks over the HD DVD release, with English 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus, 5.1 Dolby TrueHD and 5.1 PCM (Uncompressed) tracks.
Extras are similar to the 2 disc DVD release, with the commentary by Michael Bay (yes, the same one), and on disc 2, many of the same features, but in HD, including The Story Sparks, Human Allies, I Fight Giant Robots, Battleground, Rise of the Robots, Autobots Roll Out, Decepticons Strike, Inside the AllSpark, Transformers Tech Inspector, From Script to Sand: The Scorponok Desert Attack, Concepts, the teaser trailer and theatrical trailers. There will also be BD-Live features, but these haven’t been specified yet, and the same easter eggs.
Paramount Home Entertainment have today announced the release of the first season of Transformers: Animated on DVD in North America for 19th August.
Unfortunately, due to Paramount’s money making strategy, this will only include the episodes from “Home is where the Spark is” to “Megatron Rising Part 2”. You will have to buy the movie special separately. The set will be on 2 DVDs with English Dolby Digital audio.
In Transformers Season One, the Autobots swear to protect the ALLSPARK, their adopted new home Earth, and an 8-year old girl named Sari Sumdac, who not only becomes an honorary Autobot, but also a vital component of the team and the keeper of THE KEY, which serves an emergency power supply and healing source for the Autobots. While Optimus Prime and his team of Autobots are out fighting Earth-bound super villains and basking in their newfound superhero status, the real threat, the Decepticons, are out there regrouping, preparing to return with a vengeance and will stop at nothing to get their hands on the ALLSPARK and THE KEY.
The next batch of Henkei figures from TakaraTomy have been posted by Fan2Fan.
In a suprise move, the next figures will be USA Editions of Powerglide, Silverbolt and Onslaught, all from the upcoming Transformers: Universe line from Hasbro. All 3 are due for release in October.
Pictures have been mirrored here.

Paramount Home Entertainment have already announced the release of the Transformers: Animated movie on DVD for North America, Germany and Australia, but they have now released the first bits of info for the UK.
All we know so far is that we are getting it on 4th August, 2 months after North America, for a RRP of £12.99, but be sure to look for it cheaper. Other details haven’t been confirmed, but expect it to be the same as the other versions, unless Paramount HE have any other bright ideas.
Some new photos of the fictional Chinese city that will feature in Transformers 2 have been uploaded onto the internet, as well as some details of what will be filmed.
– The east side of the site is being re-developed so most of the shooting will take place on the west side.
– A new concept car (possible Transformer?) not used in the first movie will be used there
– Two Blackhawk helicopters will be used
– The area will be patrolled by the site security and Bethlehem City Police who will also and close streets for the shoot.
We suggest you head over before Paramount’s lawyers decide to panic like the first film.
