The above image is a still provided by Bungie this week from the Halo 3 commercial which will air on Monday Night Football on December 4 on ESPN in HD. Afterwards, it will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace and probably be ripped and distributed all over internet.

Halo 3 Beta Registration will begin December 4 as well. Its only going to be open to the US initially, but Bungie is promising to roll out registration at the international level shortly. This public play test will be all Xbox 360 and only multiplayer. As can be expected, all details regarding the single player game are still very closely guarded secrets. When Halo 2 came out, players were shocked to find out they’d spend much of the game as The Arbiter, so we can’t imagine what kind of curveball we’ll be thrown this time.

This past week, several Xbox Live players with Microsoft employees on their friend list found Pimps at Sea being played. This has long been the internal joke for what the “next project” would be when Bungie still hadn’t announced Halo 3, so its fairly obvious that multiplayer testing has start to happen on the regular Xbox Live network.

Finally, the king-daddy of video game inspired web films carries continues with its 5th season. Episode 84 of Red Vs Blue is online now, and Tucker must comes to grips with the fact that he’s now the mother of a tiny alien, while the Red team mourns the loss of Sarge, who they buried alive.

From the Shaun Of The Dead team, here’s “Hot Fuzz” and looks to be about as funny as SoTD was. Watch the embedded video below, or check out a larger quicktime version.

Thanks to TFormers, we’ve got a very detailed look at a design sheet drawing for Ratchet in the Transformers 2007 movie.

Ratchet from the original Transformers series was the Autobot’s chief medical officer, and transformed into an ambulance. While he might’ve been the obvious choice to peg as the pacifist, he frequently found himself in the heat of some of the most memorable battles in Transformers fiction, including being trapped on the Ark with Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave, and Galvatron from the future.

In the 2007 Transformer movie from director Michael Bay, Ratchet is loaded up as a modified Humvee built for search and resuce. This makes him one of the larger Autobots on the team. His robot mode has been surprisingly unseen in the rash of leaked design sheets, but now we have a sneak peek…

The all knowing Nevermore at TFW2005 has found some images of toy prototypes for the 2007 Transformers movie. None of these display robot modes, just vehicles. The paint applications are also obviously not there yet, but any news is news while the film goes into editing and the real wait for a new trailer (and the movie itself) begins.

Keep tuned to for more Transformers 2007 news as it develops…
