Movie Chronicles
TF08 have posted some more image of their unpacked Wheelie toy, showing the fully transformed robot mode, close up details of his limbs and everything else — right down to the Decepticon and Autobot logos on his chest and back.
His robot design looks very similar to Frenzy’s, with spindly arms, legs and claws for quietly creeping around.
TF08 have posted an image of the blue RC truck, Wheelie, in his alt mode:
An indepth look at Megatron’s transformation from Tank into robot,
I am Megatron!
Meanwhile TFW2005 have posted a gallery of shots comparing the first movie’s Megatron with the updated design, the toy appears to be far superior. View full gallery.
TF08 have provided a set of 5 videos illustrating how each of the toys transforms from its alt mode to robot mode:
There is also a Voyager Optimus Prime video review from Peaugh:
eBay has provided us with another early gem, the Leader class Megatron and Optimus Prime toys.

Via Seibertron, The Arker also has more images of the toys.
TF08 return with pictures of Jetfire, Skids, Rampage, Long Haul, Bumblebee and Ratcher Deluxe toys — including a shot of Long Haul matching Josh Nizzi’s concept art pose.
TF08 have come up with the goods again, this time it is images of the Ratchet, Jetfire and Long Haul FAB toy packages illustrating both vehicle and robot modes:
Long Haul never talks, unless he’s going to complain about something. The other Decepticons expect him to carry all their stuff, but he’d rather be fighting than transporting a bunch of missiles and laser cannons. He likes to let other robots’ gear bounce out of his truck bed, and then tell them it got “lost” on the way.
Note the similarities with the Long Haul concept art from Josh Nizzi.
After learning from Ironhide that more Decepticons had been detected on Earth, Autobot Ratchet immediately began research into how best to upgrade his weapons. After two months in his workshop, he developed a new particle beam blaster. Now he needs to find a Decepticon to test it on.
After remaining hidden for years, Jetfire is ready to rejoin the fight! He realized the error of the Decepticon way a long time ago. Now, he fights alongside the Autobots, hoping to use his ancient strength to bring his former comrades to justice!
“Megatron returns… keep it quiet”, quipped Roberto Orci on the TFW forums. This is our first official word that Megatron will in fact return in the sequel, although we have had an abundance of news, rumors and toys to suggest this is the case.
And just to back this up, here are some images of the Leader class Megatron Revenge of the Fallen toy, which come via Seibertron and The Arker.
The bio reads:
Rebuilt with parts cannibalized from other Decepticons, Megatron rises once again to lead his army. Though the AllSpark destroyed him once, he can now feel its power coursing through his circuitry. It calls him to seize his rightful place as ruler over the puny planet on which he was imprisoned and destroyed, and from which he will launch his conquest of the universe. Optimus Prime is all that stands between him and victory, and the Autobot leader has done a poor job of hiding himself. At long last, Megatron knows exactly where his enemy is, and he has power enough to destroy him.
