Jagex have updated their Transformers Universe website with some new Q&A answers on the MOTA (massive online tactical action) game. Some of the main points concern things we had heard previously - such as only ground vehicles being available at launch - as well as how this release differs from Runescape. An interesting point is that the game will feature several sessions on battlefields, each with their own maps, as well as a persistent hub map style area for players to explore, interact with other players and take PVE challenges.

Via Facebook two new characters have also been teased - a former vigilante and a gangsta healer.

Calibre Toys has updated their Official Website with demonstration Soundbites for their Transformers: Age Of Extinction Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Talking Coin Banks.

Optimus Prime's voice is clearly from the legendary voice actor Peter Cullen while it's still a mystery as to who voice Bumblebee. The soundbites open up a possibility of Bumblebee talking in Transformers 4. Previous movie toys had Bumblebee talking in his "radio voice" and in an unexpected turn of events, Hasbro even deiced to give Transformers: Prime Bumblebee his voice back after having him talking in an R2-D2 manner for three seasons.

You can hear the voice clips here.
Optimus Prime: *Transforming noise "I am Optimus Prime!"
Bumblebee: *Transforming noise "No one can outrun Bumblebee!" *Guns firing

Thanks to 2005 Boards member GabrielPrime for digging this up, We have couple of pictures and info on Shanghai General Motors' new Chevrolet TRAX campaign for Transformers 4 Age of Extinction.

Here's a translation of the info they gave;

"This summer, Michael Bay's highly publicized Transformers: Age of Extinction will be revealed, Chevrolet TRAX will be featuring a role as part of the new generation of transformers, it is the first time this Chevrolet SUV is in the movie transformers.

The Chevrolet TRAX official debut will also include interactive network activities. Between now and April 15, the interactive campaign titled "start your first Transformer" will be focused on "sGMTRAX" micro account allowing to participate in personality tests and share favorite transformers images."

We've seen this new generation SUV quite a lot during Hong Kong filming. There were plenty of them with different colours and they were all seen with Galvatron and other Decepticons. They might be the Vehicons which were on Kre-O toy sets.

Check out the images at the attachments as we bring you the best news as it happens.

Paramount has released their first Transformers Age of Extinction poster for IMAX theaters. It features one of the more epic moments of the recent trailers where an evil Decepticon (no spoilers) walks menacingly towards you from his gigantic spaceship. Transformers 4 will be in 2D, 3D and IMAX June 27th. Check out the image after the break!

Update: MTV has posted the poster and names the spaceship as "Nightship". We do not know whether this is the final name for the ship or just another codename to hide the real name.

Good news, Transformers Prime fans! The Beast Hunters 2014 Voyagers Optimus Prime and Predaking - the so-called "upscaled Cyberverse" toys - have made it out to US retail. These toys, which some feared would not make it to US retail at all, were sighted at Target in Modesto CA.

Happy hunting, everyone!

Megatron seeks a quick victory as the Decepticons breach the Autobot city of Iacon. The invasion seems to be leading to total domination until Metroplex, a city-sized behemoth, emerges from beneath the surface to defend Iacon or die trying.

The Assault on Iacon event kicks off today! Find out more about the Transformers Legends game here.

Earlier today, Transformers More Than Meets The Eye issue #27 was released. Part 10 of the crossover storyline, Dark Cybertron, may have provided us with our first taste at an upcoming Transformer toy release from Hasbro. Long time fan favorite and female Autobot Arcee debuted a new body in this issue. Her new look is strongly reminiscent of her Generation 1 body, but with a more updated feel and a darker shade of pink/almost red. Is this an indicator of the toy we'll be seeing in wave 5 this year along with Chromia? Not necessarily. But, with the way IDW's Dark Cybertron has been working in characters with toys either on the shelves or about to be released, it could be the real deal.

Take it with a huge grain of salt at the moment, but feel free to have fun and speculate on the 2005 Boards.

We've been getting a bit of buzz that three of the Transformers Classics Legends - originally released under the Reveal the Shield and Universe lines - have been re-released at US retail at Family Dollar. The three toys - Bumblebee, Starscream and Optimus Prime - are largely unchanged from their previous releases, but sport new packaging with nice large artwork of the three characters in line with the new Hasbro branding being rolled out for the 2014 toys including the Age of Extinction line.

If you missed out on these three toys last time out or if you like the new packaging style, the store to check is Family Dollar!
