Actor Glenn Moreshower, who played Colonel Sharp in the first Transformers movie and General Moreshower in the sequels, has announced that he will not be returning for the fourth movie after all. The Transformers Live Action Movie Blog reveals that, while he had originally said that he would be returning, Moreshower stated at the Texas Frightmare Weekend that a scheduling conflict with the filming of the movie prevented him from returning. It is also possible that the new story direction of the film simply no longer needed his General Moreshower character.

TFW2005 has gotten a hold of an official image revealing the fifth wave of the Transformers: Prime Beast Hunters Deluxe class figures. In Wave 5, there will be two more new figures. One of which is the previously announced Deluxe class Prowl, who is a remold of Smokescreen and lacks the armor pieces Smokescreen came with. The other is... likely to receive mixed opinions: Stealth Bumblebee, a redeco of the Prime Beast Hunters Wave 1 Deluxe Bumblebee figure to resemble his new color scheme in the show (despite being decked out in armor).

Japanese online retailer e-HOBBY has updated their listing for their exclusive figure Generations Magnificus with preview pages for the figure's pack-in comic, titled "Badlands". The comic not only stars Magnificus in his Generations body, but from the looks of these images, it will also feature the canceled Generation 1 Double Pretender Gorilla, Magnificus's Microman parter Ga'mede, Generation 2 Eagle Eye/Hawk/Hawking (U.S./European/Japanese name), and what looks like G1 Skyquake, but may instead be the Decepticon High Regent Scrash from Operation Combination and United EX! Could this serve as a sort of epilogue to the United EX series? And this alos looks to take place in Iron Town from Transformers: Victory episode 1. Through the space bridge for the pics.

Hold on to your hats, folks! We've scored a big one! It has been officially announced by BotCon.com that this year's convention will feature not one, not two, not three, but FOUR more voice actors attending as guests. Previously, we learned of James Horan (TF: Prime Wheeljack) and David Sobolov (Beast Wars Depth Charge, TF: The Game Brawl, and TF: Prime Shockwave) would be attending, but now we've got the following quartet to add to the roster: Steve Blum, D.C. Douglas, Parvesh Cheena, and Imari Williams. That's right, the whole cast of Rescue Force Sigma-17 from Transformers: Rescue Bots! The voices of Heatwave, Chase, Blades, and Boulder, themselves! The cartoon's crew will also be attending as well.

Steve Blum is also the voices of TF: Prime Starscream, RiD Dark Scream, RiD W.A.R.S., Rid Fortress Maximus, WFC Barricade, FOC Shockwave, FOC Swindle, FOC Sharpshot, and many many others. Through the space bridge for the announcement.

Hub Network (new name) has aired an extended version of their promo advertisement for Transformer: Prime Beast Hunters episode 58, titled "Chain of Command". While Optimus's team was in El Paso, we get to see what Ultra Magnus and the Wreckers were up to in Scotland during that time. And it looks like they've got their hands full trying to tangle with an old enemy while juggling their differing ideals and opinions on how to operate as a group.

Ken Christiansen has struck again with more Aligned Continuity concept art being posted on his Bad Flip Productions Blog. This time, we got both the Vehicle and Robot modes of Soundwave. Owing more to the designs of G1, Movieverse, and a bit of Animated, Soundwave goes from an SUV to one mean-looking robot and back. Still a far cry from his Transformers: Prime design, like with Megatron, but again, this design came first. Through the space bridge for the content.

An auction on eBay for the new Generations TG18 Skywarp from TakaraTomy reveals new in hand images of the figure, which is a redeco of the Generations Fall of Cybertron Starscream figure in colors based in Skywarp's appearance in the War for Cybertron video game, but with more gunmetal gray than the amount of black required to make it truly game-accurate.

The Transformers Facebook has posted the first official images of another Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse toy. This time it's a Legion class Air Vehicon figure. Air Vehicon looks to be an entirely new mold separate from the previous car-based Cyberverse Legion class Vehicon figure, and is naturally based on the winged jet-based Vehicons seen in the cartoon (which TakaraTomy produced Deluxe class toys for, dubbed "Jet Vehicon"). to see the images of the new Air Vehicon figure, head through the space bridge.

A casting article for actors and extras in Austin, TX for Transformers 4 has been posted by Examiner, in which we learn the name of actor Mark Wahlberg's character in the movie. Wahlberg, whose character will be the father of actress Nicola Peltz's character, is named "Flynn Vincent", which is a brand new character name as opposed to a name based on an existing one.

Comic Book Resources has posted an article with an image of a variant cover for IDW's "MY Little Pony Micro Series" #5 issue featuring Optimus Prime and Pinkie Pie. The comic itself is an ordinary My Little Pony comic, with the cover being the only Transformers-related aspect of this, as it is a special edition cover to be given away at BotCon this year in San Diego from June 27th to the 30th. All it takes is a hop, skip, and a jump ahead to see the cover.

Just as promised, artist Ken Christiansen has posted on his Bad Flip Productions Blog another piece of Aligned Continuity concept art from the Binder of Revelation. This time, it's Megatron's altmode that, surprisingly unlike his TF: Prime cartoon model, is a tank. An Earth human tank. Though it's obviously not what inspired Megatron's TF: Prime altmode, this design could have served as the base for the tank mode of Megatron from the Transformers Legends mobile game.
