Sotry #1: So, apparnelty Takara, at some recent TF event showed the painted version of MP Rodimus. OMG WIN! they've also confirmed he will have a gimmick that will cause him to "transform" from Hot Rod into Rodimus and back. So this confirms a removeable trailer and confirms intricate engineering. however, wiht this dropping only a few months after the protector armor, young collectors like myself are gonna be strapped for cash if we want ot get both. Also, they havent come anywhere close to updating the price-point so its not $200. I have all faith it will drop to around $100, but anythiong more than that, i'm waiting unitl holidays 2011 to grab it. who knows, myabe it'll be out in time for Botcon 2011, which would be epic win. anyway, this figure has received lukewarm reception so far, but i'm digging what Takara has done, i just hope he's not too pricey. btu who knows, after i stock up on stuff at botcon 2011, maybe i'll grab him and then hold back on tf3 toys (as of now the only ones i may get would be megs, soundwave, shockwave, the "wreckers", and the red Ferrari bot). wow i got off topic there. but yea. i like this news.

Story #2: speaking of the movie-verse, the second link has 2 clips some youtuber filmed of more tf3 filming in chicago. two thigns of note from these vids. 1) apparently that red and black airport style fire-truck we're seeing is Sentinel Prime. Well some security guard said i, so i cant give it too much credence. I hoep to whateverhigherpowerisupthere that this isnt sentinel prime though. Cause that such BS if it is. i just hope he gets a different charcaterization than he did in TFA cause i could nto stand his TFA charcaterization. My money is still on movieverse Inferno or Red Alert for this guy. The toy will be otu of scale to the movie, but who cares. Secondly, apparently there's at least 2 jet black SUV's in the decepticon ranks now. whoa re these guys? are they cannon fodder. Unless Bay has messed wiht TF customs and changed one's colorization (like he did making sideswipe silver), i dont see theses guys being runabout and runamuck, especially because theyrs SUV's. Were there any big decepticon cars about that size ever outside the movies? comment below.

Thanks guys, comment below with feedback and an answer to that q.
