Forget the iPad and the State of the Union, the rumor mill has been busy hyping up a supposed release of an in-scale (to the action figures) AT-AT. According to a report on RebelScum.com, the massive toy was spotted at the UK Toy Fair (a strictly no photo event).

Rebelscum reader Boba Fatt sends in a report on the highly-anticipated BAT-AT: “Damn, it’s HUGE!”

According to this eyewitness account, it looks like a Turbo Tank on legs, with an interior similar to the inside of the Turbo Tank, but with 2 levels, opening doors, a gun rack, and an underside hatch for Luke to slice into. There are 2 strings that come out of a side panel like on a rescue helicopter. The neck seal is rubber, and the head holds 6 figures inside, including General Veers. Plus, the rear opens for a Blizzard Force speeder bike. Still no photos yet, but this matches all previous reports.

The photo at the top of this post is a supposed photo of the walker, but there is no way to get a feel for the scale. This report puts things in perspective. The Turbo Tank mentioned is the one in the picture below.

Skeptic rebels continue to smugly call them “Great, big, fat gray targets.”

There’s been a ton of news recently that’s been thrown around about Project: Needlemouse, the codename for the newest Sonic the Hedgehog game in the works that is banking on the claim that it is going to be a 2D game that throws back to the days of Sonic on the Genesis. Concept art for badniks have been flowing out from SEGA’s blog. They’re also issuing a challenge to their fans….

Hot on the heels of the Bumblebee figure’s reveal, UGO got some exclusive pictures of the upcoming Megatron and Optimus Prime releases based on the War for Cybertron video game coming to consoles soon. There wasn’t anything to really go on from the article aside from the pictures.

I have to say I really dislike Megatron’s alt mode. Megatron’s robot mode is slightly mistransformed and missing the cannon from the alt mode. Prime looks pretty good though.

    

So the Terminator franchise is on the auction block because Halcyon is on the verge of bankruptcy. I guess they figured, they’ll just give away the last movie for free.
Go to CinemaNow and enter promo code “TS201023” and after a short registration, they’ll give you a digital copy of the movie. Of course its DRM protected and will have to playback in a DivX player. Why would they let you have it free if you could share it with everybody?
If you’re willing to give them your email address and sit at your PC, go ahead and have a free movie.

Just a quick reminder to all fans of Masters of the Universe Classics. The reissue Skeletor’s second shipment will be going on sale today at Noon EST. Also keep in mind that this is only half of the full shipment so it will go very fast. Do not wait until later if you are even considering it!

Man that was a loaded headline. You get all that?

AC/DC are contributing what appears to be the entire soundtrack to the next Marvel motion picture. The above video is “Shoot To Thrill” which is a song that originally appeared on AC/DC’s Back In Black album (which most of you should own since its sold 49 million copies and sits behind Thriller as the #2 highest selling album). the album AC/DC: Iron Man will release on April 19, and has 15 tracks.

The video has some new footage not seen in existing trailers, and a lot of stuff we’ve seen. Its all intercut with a performance from AC/DC last month in Buenos Aires from December 2009.

Its unlikely that the whole movie will be filled with AC/DC songs, but “Back In Black” was a big part of the first Iron Man’s advertising and soundtrack so I guess they’re just trying to fill out some corporate cross promotional potential. Still, if you never bought and AC/DC record, this might not be a bad start.

The Transformers fan club has put up an exclusive image of the new War for Cybertron Bumblebee figure based on the forthcoming video game we mentioned back here, here and here.

This was the cover image to the latest club magazine and was posted on the club website.

We’ve been discussing this very topic on our forums here. Join the discussion or comment below on what you think of this likely filler sub-line until the new show/movie starts up.
