Random News Occupying My Brain – September 6 Edition

In Transformers news, the first pictures of two new Japanese (for now) releases appeared.  First, we have a redeco/remold of Masterpiece Soundwave as Masterpiece Soundblaster.  We all knew this was coming.  Supposedly, he can hold three tapes in his chest, and he comes with a new tape – Ratbat.  Hard to say if this will see American shores.  Hasbro has shown they’re willing to release multiple versions of Masterpiece toys, and it’s not like Soundblaster is foreign to our country anymore (see the Fall of Cybertron release).  Will it be released here with Ratbat at a lower price than Masterpiece Soundwave?

Transformers 4 Gets a Title and Teaser Poster

Yahoo! Movies unveiled the teaser poster for Transformers 4 and revealed what the full title will be.  Behold, TRANSFORMERS 4: AGE OF EXTINCTION! I like it! The article goes on to speculate on what that means.  A/K/A – the Dinobots.  I’m intrigued by how the Dinobots will be reimagined for the movie-universe, but I am a bit wary.  After all, I’m not exactly a fan of how there can be robotic dinosaurs on Cybertron….

EW.com Shows a… Unique Take on Venom

This week, EW.com posted a very unique unofficial fan-film featuring Venom, the symbiote-wearing Spider-Man villain.  Starring Ryan Kwanten of HBO’s “True Blood” (and sporting a New York accent, once again convincingly disguising his Australian-origins), this film is a different take on the character.  It purports to be a documentary by a French film team, detailing Eddie Brock’s investigative journalism into the seedy world of New York crime.  But, as you can expect, Eddie shows off his partner during the course of this “found footage”. Take a look below.  Would you like to see this expanded into a stand-alone film, outside
