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!

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 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.

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.

TFW2005 Previews Transformers Fall of Cybertron

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!

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!

Hasbro wants consumers to have a positive experience at all touch points for its brands, including transactions with its licensees.

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.

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.
