The Transformers Asia website has updated with images of the Transformers Generations Decepticon Specialists set. The set includes Classics Astrotrain, Universe Galvatron and Universe Tankor / Octane in revised decos. The three Decepticons in the set each have new paint applications, with metallic purple on Galvatron. Astrotrain is based on his Henkei release, but with metallic purple paint rather than chrome. Octane seems to be largely unchanged from his previous releases, but is a "best of both" blend of his Henkei and Universe decos.

The set is due out in Asia on 25 March 2014, and comes with a Decepticon themed earphone cap plug.

Via Transformers Dioramas on Facebook, we can bring you a look at the official images of the Age of Extinction Dino Sparkers assortment. These are part of the "young ages" marketed segment of the line, and feature pull-back and go Dinobots with little Transformers riding on them like knights jousting in a tourney in days of old.

The idea behind this subline, according to the Hasbro Toy Fair 2014 press release, is that kids can race these toys head-on against each other, trying to knock the little rider figures off of the dinos - and the dinos also light up with real sparks as they go!

Seen here are the Drift with Slug and Optimus Prime with Grimlock sets - the announced Bumblebee with Strafe set and rumored Lockdown with "Wolf" set are not shown.

Via Transformers Dioramas on Facebook, we can share with you images of the Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters Titan Guardians figures. These figures are large, simple and simply articulated. The four are Beast Hunters Optimus Prime, Prime Bumblebee, Prime Shockwave, and Beast Hunters Sharkticon Megatron.

We're not completely sure on the size - they were leaked on Hasbro's customer service website as Titan Guardians, which are 16 inches tall, however they might well end up being 6 inches tall. Time, as always, will tell.

PCGamer had the pleasure to interview Alex Horton ; Chief Creative Officer at Jagex who works for the Transformers: Universe MOBA game.

What’s the process like of creating brand new characters in the Transformers Universe? Is there a difficult approval process with Hasbro on that sort of stuff?
Hasbro have been fantastic partners to work with on Transformers Universe. Collaborating with the team there we’ve bought our collective experiences together, combining artists, game designers and the deepest knowledge on the world of Transformers to create a great selection of Autobots and Decepticons for you to command in battle. We’ve even surprised the Hasbro guys by bringing back some seriously obscure transformers from the depths of Cybertronian time.

Obviously the game had a bit of radio silence in 2013. Were you waiting for the new Transformers movie to help you capture a bit more of that potential casual crowd?
2013 was a big year for the game. We made some major decisions during that time to ensure that we could bring the best possible product to market. We chose to maintain a silence as we knuckled down and focused on engineering a game for the long term. With a desire to bring more fluidity to play whilst maintaining our ultra-secure platform and client-server technology we opted to integrate third-party middleware with multi-platform capabilities into the way we make games at Jagex. We’re building a game service to run for the next decade, and whilst we love the movies it's not something to base the launch of our game around.

Read the full interview at PCGamer.

When the Super Bowl Spot for Transformers: Age Of Extinction came out, the biggest complaint was the incomplete CGI.

However, rectifying the possibly rushed trailer, Paramount has uploaded the updated version of the Superbowl Spot. 2005 Boards Member fallen_revenge who discovered this updated trailer has also identified the changes:
  • Sequence of Lockdown walking towards the camera features new CGI from the Teaser Trailer with added details to the Nightship.
  • Face transformation of Lockdown contains new CGI elements
  • Added details and new lighting for Optimus
  • Galvatron's arm added (from the Teaser)
  • Galvatron's body color now closely resembles the Argosy Freightliner. Galvatron's eyes are now red rather than orange
  • New movie font replaces the old font
  • Added new details to the Crosshairs sequence; including dust particles, smoke and explosions.
  • Strafe is more towards a blue color than the original Super bowl spot

Check it out, after the jump.

Update: Fellow newsie TunaKaan has created a comparison image as well.

Transformers: Age Of Extinction Merchandise info and images keep pouring in. You may remember that we brought you the news of Disguise acquiring license to manufacture Halloween Costumes based on the new movie by Hasbro. Well, they have updated their official website with the images.

The images not only gives us a good look at the new Optimus Prime and Bumblebee but also gives us a good look at the Sentinel Shield, Sword Of Judgment, Bumblebee Arm Cannon and the unnamed Bumblebee Shield.

Disguise has also carried their trademarked Skinovations brand to the new movie by producing Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Skin Suits (yes, you heard right… Skin Suits).

There are some new costumes and accessories which the company has not revealed yet; which includes Prime and Bee Character Glasses.

Thanks to The Hub, we have our first look at Bumblebee from the next cartoon show, which will be a sequel to Transformers: Prime. The series will premiere in 2015.

As had been reported before, the style does appear to be somewhat of a hybrid of the Prime and Rescue Bots aesthetics.

Read the full details after the jump, then let us know your thoughts in the discussion thread.
