Transformers Fall Of Cybertron was featured on G4TV this evening. Unfortunatley, no new gameplay footage was shown. But, game director Matt Tieger is interviewed during the feature and he discusses how each character will not only have his own special ability but how the levels in the game are built around those special abilities.

Check out the video here and then discuss on the 2005 Boards

We've got a double-whammy of news on the Roll Out Roll Call 2012 convention which is taking place March 10 and 11 at the Jury's Inn in Southampton in the UK. First and foremost, new images and additional information on the Snake Armors comes to us from the fine people at Transformers@The Moon. The new images show just how big this piece is - capable of going toe-to-toe with a Voyager Class Transformer! TF@TM also reports that in true Transformers style this G.I. Joe themed piece - based on the battlesuits used by Cobra in the Devil's Due G.I. Joe Vs Transformers comics - is also a Pretender shell that can fit Mini-cons inside it! Or, if you are in to G.I. Joe, it fits a 25th or 30th anniversary figure just fine too. These are limited to 30 versions of each deco.

Second, via Blot on our sister site Hisstank, we have a look at a limited run exclusive custom Red Shadows Dreadnought. It's a modified War for Cybertron Cliffjumper with a new head, and it looks awesome. This one is a limited run of 25 pieces.

There's still time to pre-register for Roll Out Roll Call 2012! Head over to All the Cool Stuff to find out more!

DW-PO4A - INVULNERABLE will be the next offering from them and will be a new face for the 3rd Party giant. As opposed to the raging faces currently popping up, this face is more of a stern, serious face. Perfect for the fan who wasn't completely happy with the face that came with Hercules.

It's probably an aligned continuity version of an Insecticon - whatever it is, it looks suitably menacing! Originally found here on Tumblr.

NASA, on their ReelNASA YouTube channel, recently made a video history montage of space exploration. What's also notable here is that Transformers fan-favorite Peter Cullen! Peter Cullen enjoys a very good relationship with NASA as of late, largely stemming from the relationship forged from NASA's involvement with the Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

The Transformers Bot Shots online game has launched! Right now it's still in an early stage, with some features locked out "coming in May 2012", but the basic game is present and rather addictive!

Reading around through the webpage, 2005 boards member ZacWilliam has also sniffed out the link between this online game and the toyline on the shelves:

Sometime before May the Bot Shots toys will all start to come with a slip of paper with a 14 digit number on it that will be redeamable for Energon Cubes that you can use to buy things with at the "Bot Shop" in the game.

The rare chase Super Bots will have a code good for larger amounts of Energon AND that opens an exclusive "Super Bot Arena" location. If you can win a fight there you unlock Super Bots to recruit into your stable of characters.


Check the game out over that the Transformers Bot Shots Homepage.

The Takara-Tomy Channel has uploaded a brief video showing some behind the scenes concept work on the Transformers Prime Arms Micron line for the Japanese market. The video - helpfully with English subtitles - features Takara-Tomy Transformers team member Takashi Nakase briefly talking about some of the thought processes that went into the design of these toys - particularly the whole idea that the Arms Microns can be attached in many locations to allow for some degree of customisation. Check it out, embedded below:

The official Transformers Facebook page has uploaded concept artwork of the Insecticon from Transformers Prime! Officially confirming what we had deduced from educated guesswork, it's the creature seen briefly at the end of Orion Pax Part 2 and in the promo picture for Part 3. This concept artwork gives some suggestion on how the insectoid limbs function, as well as (far right) a look at the creature without these limbs.

Orion Pax Part 3 airs this Saturday, 3 March on The Hub at 8:30 ET | 5:30 PT.

Hasbro's rolling out with more Transformers Prime material on the official Transformers website. Today the Dark of the Moon theme to Transformers.com bowed out, to be replaced with a blue Transformers Prime / Bot Shots theme. The character bars along the top are now Transformers Prime instead of Dark of the Moon, with Bot Shots Optimus and Megatron in the background. It's a nice and fresh look for the site.

Right now as with the Bot Shots game, it's just a new skin with more content such as character bios to follow. Keep watching Transformers.com for more material being added in the coming weeks.

It's Saturday and you know what that means? New Transformers cartoon day! Transformers Prime season 2 episode 3 and Rescue Bots Episode 4 both debut on The Hub today!

Transformers Prime, airing at 8:30 ET | 5:30 PT, gives us Orion Pax, Part 3. Things reach breaking point as a desperate mission is launched to restore the amnesiac Optimus Prime, even as he becomes ever more suspicious of Megatron.

Meanwhile Transformers Rescue Bots introduces us to the Flobsters in the episode Flobsters on Parade. Flying lobsters? It's like the best concept for a Fuzor that we were never treated to in the 1990s! It's airing in just a few minutes at 9:30 am ET on The Hub! Turn on those TVs and check it out!


We've got a little bit longer to wait for Transformers Prime to air, but while you wait, check out this new preview clip from Hitfix!

Recently I had the pleasure of attending a special preview event hosted by Activision for Transformers Fall of Cybertron. What I got to see in this preview event was the game being played live for us, while Matt Tieger took us through some of the features and levels of the game. Please bear in mind what I saw was an early version of the game, so some features are still being tweaked and fully revised.

Let me preface this write-up by saying I’m not a huge action gamer. I’ve never played anything like Gears of War, Halo or Half Life, so I cannot comment on how this compares to other action games in the genre. I can offer you my own impressions on what I saw, and of course I can give you the opinion of a Transformers fan on this extremely promising new game. I’ll make no secret of it - War for Cybertron I felt was an excellent game, but Fall of Cybertron goes for being bigger and better, with lots more emphasis on a varied and unique experience with each character. What we are looking at here is shaping up to quite possibly be the best Transformers video game ever made.

With that being said, please read on to check out our preview of the next installment in High Moon Studios' Transformers video game series, Transformers Fall of Cybertron!

The Robochris Rakutan store has updated with some new images of Transformers Prime Japan Arms Micron Terrorcon Cliffjumper. The new images show that Terrorcon Cliffjumper has gone for a completely purple "Dark Energon" deco, rather than the red deco with purple Dark Energon "burn" deco. There's also some images of his Arms Micron partner, a Revenge of the Fallen Ravage style animal partner that turns into a chainsaw.

There are also some images on the page for Voyager Class Starscream's Arms Micron partner - a spy plane that looks like it turns into some kind of double pronged blade.

Since the release of their Hercules project fans of the 3rd Party Group, TFC Toys have been dying to know what project the group will tackle next. We're one step closer to finding that out, thanks to some design sketches found over on ACToys of what look like Strafe, Nosecone, Lightspeed and Afterburner. In other words, Computron and the Technobots. This matches up to TFCToys' recent teasing through social media saying the project would have the color red at first and then changing their answer to white.

Take this as a rumor for now as these are only design sketches and there are no physical prototypes as of yet. Click the title bar to check out all the sketches and then head over to the 3rd Party Discussion forum to discuss the possibilities!

To the G.I. Joe and Transformers fan communities and Fun Publications customers,

Thank you for bringing your concern to our attention and for giving Hasbro the opportunity to respond to a matter that impacts its G.I. Joe and Transformers brands. Please know we take all consumer concerns very seriously and are in regular contact with Fun Publications (our licensee) about the possibility of a breach in security to their online purchasing system for the G.I. Joe and Transformers Collectors' Clubs. Fun Publications is also taking this matter very seriously and is diligently working at identifying any problems, the number of customers affected and ways to ensure it does not happen to any more customers. Hasbro wants consumers to have a positive experience at all touch points for its brands, including transactions with its licensees. As such, we are confident that Fun Publications has detailed instructions and pertinent information available for those consumers who believe they may have been targeted by credit theft via their portals.

Based on our extensive conversations with the Fun Publications team Hasbro wants to convey the following to the fan communities:

Fun Publications has assured us that they are taking necessary measures to curb additional issues, and they are working with third party experts to identify the problem. They anticipate knowing and communicating the cause of the breach as soon as possible to those affected.

-- They believe that the number of customers affected is low relative to the volume of sales transactions made.

-- However, if you believe fraudulent charges have been made to your credit card after making a purchase with any portals for the G.I. Joe or Transformers Collectors' Clubs, we urge you to contact Fun Publications immediately and provide them with the information requested at https://www.transformersclub.com/tccccinfo.cfm or http://gijoeclub.com/ccinfo.cfm by using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of these pages.

-- Fun Publications can also be reached at the following number for additional consumer affairs inquiries relating to the G.I. Joe and Transformers Collectors' Clubs at (817) 448-9863 during regular business hours.

-- As more information becomes available, they will be contacting all affected customers who have notified them about the issue.

Thank you again to all of the fans of our Transformers and G.I. Joe brands for their continued support and for the opportunity to respond to this matter.

Sincerely,

Joe Moscone
on behalf of Hasbro, Inc.

Our sponsors TFSource have received some new images from BTS Toys of the upcoming Savage and Nightfang cassettes. These new images show BTS' not-Ravage and not-Ratbat in their combined forms - if you picked up the previous set of Minions, Tremor and Frequenzy, you can attach their piledrivers / guns to Savage, or combine Nightfang with one of the the robots to form a winged robot mode reminiscent of the last assortment of Action Masters. Savage also appears to be able to seat one of Tremor or Frequenzy on his back if you are so inclined.

Read on and check out the new images.

Another BotCon 2012 guest has been announced, and it's none other than Dan Gilvezan (Voice of Generation One Bumblebee.) Dan Gilvezan and another guest (who will be announced at a later time) will be at the show all weekend for panels and autographs, as well as the Golden Ticket Meet and Greet.

DAN GILVEZAN began his career in animation as Spider-Man/Peter Parker on NBC’s “Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends.” He went onto to perform lead characters in a great many action/adventure shows of the mid to late 80’s including: Slipstream on “GI Joe: A Real American Hero,” Dargon on “Dino-Riders,” Dirk Courage on “Spiral Zone,” as well as everybody’s favorite yellow Volkswagen, Bumblebee, on the “Transformers.” On the lighter side he voiced Cooler, the leader of the “Pound Puppies” for Hanna-Barbera, and the ever put upon Henry Mitchell in CBS’s “New Adventures of Dennis the Menace.”

On-camera appearances have included guest-starring roles on "Desperate Housewives," "Bones," “NYPD Blue,” “The Bernie Mac Show,” “Third Rock From the Sun,” “Diagnosis Murder,” “Sabrina, the Teenaged Witch,” Boston Legal and the cult favorite "She wolf of London/Love and Curses." He has lent his talents to hundreds of TV and radio commercials and is the author of the novel "Drowned in the Grenadine" and "Bumblebee & Me," a remembrance of his time working on the original Transformers television series.
