The Movie Reporter aka IESB.net has posted a statement on their site regarding Frank Welker. According to their article, several sources have confirmed to them that Frank Welker is only days away to officially signing on to the Transformers Movie and reprise his role as the voice of the Decepticon leader Megatron.

"One of our sources tells the IESB that Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg never expected the legions of Transformers fans to rally behind both Frank and Peter the way they have, fans have been vocal and their message went all the way to the top. We should expect an official announcement very soon".

For the moment we will view this as a rumor, until more solid evidence present themselves. We will keep you updated. It should be noted that The Movie Reporter does have a pretty good track record on these types of things.

Update:
The article has been updated with a rather interesting tidbit.

"We just received a very interesting tidbit of information, while I stand behind my studio sources that claim that Frank Welker will indeed be Megatron, another reliable studio source is telling me that as of two weeks ago, Hugo Weaving was also a leading contender for the role of Megatron. Frank Welker or Hugo Weaving? Hmm, something to think about".

Well many of you may remember that awhile back we reported a rumor here about a possible Transformers and Avengers Crossover. Well, that rumor just will not seem to die. In fact more information about it was posted on All The Rage. Here is what was posted:

"Speaking of the Avengers… Anyone else as excited as me for the Avengers / Transformers happening coming up in July? Ooooo! I cannot wait! *sends more diminutive scouts out for some energon and more data*"

It looks like the Eggbots are back! For those who do not know about the Eggbots they were Takara Microman molds last used as as part of the Beast Wars line in Japan. The news of their release comes from an odd source, an article on Transformers Wikia. The story has been checked out by Allspark.com. The new Eggbots are described as follows:

"The Sparkbots are a trio of Transformers who claim to be servants of Primus. They transform from glowing spheres into small robots of various configurations. They have the ability to fly, communicate telepathically, and apparently also to travel through time when their abilities are activated by a kiss."

According to Allspark.com:

"The figures, Angela, Stardust, and Zangetsu (all are somewhat obtuse sky-related puns; Zangetsu is Japanese for "crescent moon"), are likely e-hobby releases for later this quarter."

At this time this is only a rumor.
