In the last few days we’ve unveiled the first look at Scorponok in the movie and Barricade as a toy. I’m happy to report we have the reverse now.

Harbx has posted a wallpaper of Barricade. Its very nicely done, but I can’t help being bothered that maybe they cut some of the model off to make it look nice as a desktop image for a computer.

Infamous Hong Kong ebay seller SPX Toys has an auction for Scorponok. He’s not as monochrome as we thought, but may win the battle for ugliest face.

View both after the jump.

The car bloggers at Jalopnik have come through again with some CG partial stills of Megatron and Bumblebee, as well as a full body shot of Optimus Prime. Since these images are potential spoilers, we’ll save those for after the jump.

ShootForTheEdit.com, Michael Bay’s site, has an update on the next trailer:

I spoke to Mike about a week ago, and as you can imagine he’s busy editing the movie.

He indicated that the trailer was basically done (minus a little CGI work) and that if all goes according to plan, the trailer should be out by the weekend of the 22nd of December.

Ok, now how about those CG renders….

Fox 2000 who had the rights and intentions of producing a new movie for the Masters of the Universe franchise have bowed out and handed all rights back to Mattel.

From the article:

Executive Producer Rodney Ferrell (“Flicka”), of Fox2000 pics, tells Moviehole that they’ve just literally just wiped their hands clean of the property.

“This was a project set up at Fox”, begins Ferrell, “but in the recent months we gave the project back to Mattel and are no longer involved”.

USAToday is running a story on the vehicle of choice of the Fantastic Four from the upcoming movie, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

The Fantasticar apparently went through several designs before they were all thrown out. The inspiration for the final design was drawn from ocean dwelling manta ray, giving a more sleek and friendly appearance than the previous designs had offered.

It’s been a while since I had a Dreamcast title here, so here goes one. This game is also available on PC, and there is an enhanced version on PS2. In late 2001, Sega’s final attempt at console success was on it’s last legs. As a result, and also due to publisher fears of not being able to turn a decent profit, several high profile games had seen only Japanese and European releases (such as Capcom vs SNK 2 and Shenmue 2) while others were simply cancelled altogether. Among the latter was the Dreamcast version of Half Life. However, another game would arrive to alleviate the pain of what had happened: Soldier of Fortune.

Yes, I know there is an enhanced version of this out (MGS 3 Substance), but I couldn’t wait to feature this game. Besides, the enhanced version of the game is already $25, so it will drop in price soon enough anyway.
