One of the more difficult to obtain Activators is Dirge, a redeco of Activators Starscream. Head on over to the Animated section to read my review of Activators Dirge!

Towards the end of the toy line for the 2007 Transformers movie toy line, Hasbro released a sub-line of figures called "Allspark Power". Among the redecos in this line was Overcast, a Decepticon flier who can control the weather! Read my review of this figure here.

Most of the time only headliner characters like Starscream or Bumblebee get multiple versions of themselves as action figures, and very few are produced that represent more than one incarnation of the character. In this case however, it was one that never even appeared on screen: Dead End. First a Scout Class figure, he is now a deluxe and you can read my review of the figure here!

Just when you think Kup is one of the oldest, crankiest Transformers out there, Hasbro introduces one that has him beat by a mile. In "Revenge of the Fallen" that title goes to Jetfire, once a Decepticon and now one of the last hopes for Earth's survival. Check out my review of Photon Missile Jetfire to see an interesting take on the character.

While it was critically panned and berated for negative stereotyping, there's no denying that "Revenge of the Fallen" was a special effects bonanza. According to the LA Times, the Hollywood Film Festival Awards will be honoring the movie for this accomplishment on October 26. You can read the entire article here.

These two fought hard on the streets of Mission City and now they're in an RPM two pack. Check out my review of Autobot Jazz versus Decepticon Brawl.

On his latest blog, "Transformers" film directory Michael Bay has announced that July 1, 2011 is the tentative release date for the next Transformers film. According to the blog "Currently I'm flying with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Hasbro about new characters.". Originally it was thought the film would not be released until 2012, but this shows Paramount and Hasbro's willingness to fasttrack a new film, which is a great sign.

Joining the ranks of the Robot Powered Machines is Optimus Prime. You can read his review here.
