TFW2005 have received a report from The Hasbro Licensing Summit 2008 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and with it comes lots of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen SPOILERS.
First up, the Chevy Corvette that has been seen everywhere has been confirmed to be Sideswipe, the red G1 Autobot that originally transformed into a Lamborghini.
The second confirmation is that the Decepticon tape Ravage will be in the sequel, but not as a tape for Soundwave. Ravage is mentioned as having a “very raw beast mode”.
Leader class figures Optimus Prime and Megatron were shown, with Megatron’s figure confirming that his alternative mode is indeed a tank. The Optimus Prime figure will have a new mould from the first film and a new transformation.

structuraldefect of Seibertron has picked up Classics Optimus Prime from Argos for £14.99, even though he isn’t in the catalogue. Now, many of you will think that this is just a mistake by Argos, but Play.com also have Classics Optimus Prime IN STOCK for £17.99 as is MEGATRON for £19.99. So it seems Classics have reached the UK 1 MONTH AFTER THE USA.
