If they're releasing repaints of Breakaway as Dirge and Thrust, they need to do the same for Ramjet. And the Starscream repaint sold as a Wal-Mart exclusive doesn't cut it; I want my coneheads to match, dag nabbit!

Don't know if Dirge is a repaint of Breakaway or not

If he isn't, then I'm going to be irritated that they made Thrust a repaint of Breakaway rather than letting him and Dirge have the same mold.

The disc breakdown is as follows:
Disc 1: • Commentary by Michael Bay, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman
Disc 2: • The Human Factor: Exacting Revenge of the Fallen—This multi-chapter documentary chronicles the entire creation of the film and includes interviews with the cast and crew: o Seeds of Vengeance - Development and Design - After the overwhelming success of 2007’s Transformers, how do the filmmakers top themselves for the sequel? o Domestic Destruction – Production: United States - Michael Bay believes in going big: Big action and big explosions. Cast and crew are pushed to the limit as they traverse the U.S. from New Mexico to Pennsylvania. o Joint Operations – Production: Military - No other filmmaker in the world enjoys the kind of military access and cooperation Michael Bay has.

I picked up an awesome graphic novel thingy which included Beast Wars: The Gathering, Beast Wars: The Ascension, and an encyclopedia-like thing containing every character in the Beast Wars portion of the franchise.
The Transformers fan in me is very much a happy camper right now.

New info on ROTF toys: though it was originally stated that the 3rd motorcycle sister was going to be Flareup, now it seems they're going with Elita-1.

Hasbro changes the name all the time will just wait and see what the real name is when the toy is out

True that. Hasbro just can't seem to make up their minds about anything concerning the Motorcycle sisters.

Looks like Transformers 3 will be coming out in 2011. Kind've a bummer, though, 'cause it means that the next Universe/Classics line will only last a year (2010).
