Paramount and Dreamworks have cooked up 3 new banners advertising the pending released of the third live action Transformers movie, Dark Of The Moon. We see our old friends Optimus Prime and Bumblebee over a ruined Chicago backdrop, and also our first official image of Shockwave, the big bad villain of the movie.

The full trailer will run in front of Fast Five in theaters next week, but after it premiers online. Powet.TV will of course post it as soon as its officially available (or leaked to youtube).

It has been announced that Leonard Nimoy will be filling the voice of Sentinel Prime in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Nimoy, a cousin of Michael Bay through marriage, accepted the role saying he was “glad to be back.” Many Transformers fans remember that he lended his voice for the role of Galvatron in the 1986 animated movie The Transformers: The Movie.

Botcon 2011 registration went live yesterday afternoon. There were some minor hiccups having to do with traffic at the outset, but that was brief and lasted less than 5 minutes. There were also some not so minor hiccups with the Hall of Fame dinner not included as an option. The dinner costs about $45 to attend, but was never an option to choose for about the first half hour of the registration. The Botcon twitter feed told everyone to hang tight and not try to re-register. They will have a fix shortly to allow those affected to circumvent the $6 fee to cancel a registration before re-registering. When that is ready it will be announced, so watch the Botcon twitter feed for updates.

Anyone who still wants to qualify to receive a ‘first day’ pin with their registration has until 5:30 PM EST to register.

See you at Botcon!

Looks interesting, I guess. Time will tell.

We had seen the vehicle mode and character art for Transtech Cheetor at the end of November, but we never got to see a picture of the finalized robot mode. Today that has been revealed and we get our first look at the new head based on the previously shown character art.

It might be just me, but I think a little something was lost in translation.

  

Botcon.com has revealed the final figure in the Botcon convention exclusive set of figures. The theme of this year will be the Stunticons in Animated form. The final reveal is the leader of the pack, Motormaster paying special tribute to his box shaped head.

I am digging that head.

  

Mostly the same one you saw during the Superbowl Trailer, but with a little dialog and a look at the Wreckers in action.
The Wreckers Roadbuster, Topspin, and Leadfoot naturally are featured in this trailer since they’re NASCAR racers with weapons all over.
