As promised The Official Transformers Collectors' Club has fully revealed their 2012 exclusive Over-Run (aka Ranabout)! Bio and robot mode image below. We expect pre-orders to open for this guy and their other 2012 exclusive Shattered Glass Drift sometime next week.

OVER-RUN tries to pass himself off as a suave connoisseur of fine things. It’s not a façade he can really maintain for long, less because of his generally low intelligence and more because his interest in beautiful objects starts and ends with “blow them up!” His drive to seem sophisticated is in direct conflict with his enthusiastic love of explosions and action. The former is almost always on the losing side of that battle. He’s not interested in the Decepticons’ plans for conquest; he’s just with them because of the greater opportunities for his kind of fun. He’s always on the move, looking to create a bigger fireball, a larger bomb crater, and generally cram every microsecond with action.

He is partnered with the hyperactive RUNAMUCK, and has never had more fun in his life. Marginally smarter than his partner, he also has better self-control, giving the pairing just enough focus to present a real danger to most robots they gang up on.

Over-Run is a Deluxe sized figure featured in the Wings Universe and is Runamuck’s demolition partner. Over-Run utilizes one of the extremely popular “Classics” molds and features an all-new head sculpt by Dan Khanna and Paul Brooks. The toy is packed in a convention style box with a foam insert for easy removal and display.

Couple of quick updates on the TFCC 2012 exclusive Runabout from the TFCC twitter account. First we can expect another reveal later today. Second the figure will NOT be called Runabout. That name was unavailable so they have renamed the figure Over-Run. Stay tuned for the figure's full reveal!

The_TF_Club wrote:

"Runabout" reveal TODAY but before that want 2 give every1 a heads up. On the package he will NOT b called Runabout. Name was NOT available.

From a product standpoint we had to go with the name "Over-Run"... We could have searched out other names CLOSER to Runabout BUT thatwould have delayed us getting this guy to you all SOONER rather than later. Just all the way the schedule worked out.

Artist Jeff Anderson, who did interior artwork on the original Transformers UK run for Marvel in the 80's including Target 2006, has listed some of his original art on eBay. A great opportunity to pick an original piece of Transformers comic art.

You can find the listing by clicking here.

Courtesy of @Seibertroncom twitter follower -neurie- we have new images of some upcoming Transformers toys. We see new and repainted Bot Shots, what could possibly be a new mold Transformers Prime Optimus Prime (hard to tell with the blurry image), and a slightly clearer version of the Optimus Maximus image we saw last night.

Could this be the Weaponizer Optimus Prime that was mentioned at the UK Toy Fair? It seems to fit the description:

Prime Weaponizers - Leader Class figures. Choose from Bumblebee or Optimus Prime who was on display, these new larger scale figures feature 4 modes of play with concealed weapons, Prime himself had a set of gattling guns which can flip out from under his hood in truck mode or mount the shoulders in robot mode. They have been simplified over previous leaders so the core audience of children can transform them more easily.

Images mirrored below.

If you haven't already be sure to follow @Seibertroncom on twitter!

Appearing on iGear's Facebook page today is a prototype grey sample of their rendition of Cliffjumper, PP-04. Not much is known about this figure currently although he can be seen with a large assortment of accessories. iGear has proven that they are not shy about arming their robots. Also included in this picture are a couple of heads, including the unmistakeable Bumblebee. Check out the image below or head over to iGear's website by clicking here.

GUNJAP has shed some additional light on the story we brought you earlier via the recent TakaraTomy website update. Apparently this year's Asahikawa Winter Festival will feature a 16 meter snow sculpture of Transformers Prime Optimus Prime. Asahikawa Winter Festival takes place in Asahikawa, Hokkaido Prefecture from February 8th - 12th.

Artists are sculpting the giant robot from a 16-meter (about 53-foot) snow mound. Construction crews began piling snow on January 6, started work on the character’s head on January 10, and raised trusses to continue sculpting Optimus last Thursday.

engadget.com has posted another clip from the bonus content that is included in the Transformers Dark of the Moon Ultimate 3-D Edition Blu-ray due to hit retail on January 31st. Click here to view the clip, which explains some of the challenges shooting in 3-D presented.

The Transformers: Dark of the Moon Blu-ray doesn't hit the streets officially until next week, but you can get a look at one of the special features early right here. In this video clip director Michael Bay and other members of the production team explain some of the special challenges that came with shooting the special-effects heavy movie in 3D. It required changes to his usual frenetic cutting style with fewer pans and longer shots, as well as extra work by the editors on each element of animation overlaid on each frame. For a longer discussion about the background of shooting the flick you can check out an interview featuring Bay and 3D-master James Cameron here, otherwise just press play, or check out the press release after the break for a full list of special features included when he disc debuts January 31st.

BWTF.com has managed to get a hold of the previously unseen Transformers Prime "Robots in Disguise" Deluxe Ratchet and posted a review with lots of images. We've mirrored few below, click here to visit BWTF.com for the rest and review. The insert also appears to reveal a new mold Deluxe Arcee.

Just because Autobot Ratchet chooses to avoid fighting doesn't mean he never learned how. His intimate knowledge of anatomy allows him to strike with surgical precision, making a fight against him a very painful and losing proposition.

Some Wal-Marts currently have their Transformers Kre-O sets on clearance. Thanks to your fellow Seibertronian joevill for the tip and images below. Might be a good time to give these sets a try if you haven't already.
