Transformers War For Cybertron


War for Cybertron News


Hasbro has dished out official views of Transformers Generations Fall of Cybertron Voyager Soundwave and his repainted counterpart Soundblaster. Soundwave's design is essentially a larger version of his design from the previous Transformers War for Cybertron video game. The new feature with this mold, though, is that instead of cassettes, each figure will come with a disc, which may be launched from the chest and will transform upon impact. Soundwave and Soundblaster can store up to three discs at a given time. Take a look at the figures in the gallery, and see additional angles of Soundwave in our BotCon 2012 galleries.



Here is a photo update From X-Transbot Production Galvatron add on kit! This item will be listed on Robotkingdom when more informations are available. In the mean time, check the War For Cybertron add on kit for the The Mighty Galvertron with special features including LED added fusion cannon, light-piping eyes and many more. The add on kit is set for a release in summer of 2012. Check out the images after the jump for more details.



Hasbro Inc. has released a statement regarding the recent Fun Publications security breach to tell the GI Joe and Transformers Collectors Club members that the company takes the consumer concerns very seriously. They reassure members that the company is in direct and extensive talks with Fun Publications, who is working to upgrade their systems to prevent any further security breach. Read more.



Fun Publications has sent out another update today to their members advising them to change all passwords on any of their email, bank accounts, and credit card websites. While you are at it, just to be safe, please cancel any credit cards that may be associated with the Transformers Collectors Club. The company does not know exactly what information was taken during the recent security breach...Read more in the full article.



It is Monday, unfortunately, but to help brighten up the day, the official Transformers Facebook Page has posted a screenshot from the upcoming Transformers Fall of Cybertron video game. The image shows Optimus Prime overlooking a ledge that reveals the iconic Autobot ship The Ark, all ready to be launched. As we have learned throughout the months, the game picks up right after the events of 2010's Transformers War for Cybertron, when the Autobots, losing the fight, and the planet being destroyed, looks to escape, while the Decepticons work to keep them there. Take a look at the stunning screenshot in its full glory after the jump.



Fun Publications has sent out a message to all Transformers Club members this weekend notifying the members that there was indeed a security breach related to their e-commerce database. In a written statement sent to members, Brian Savage says that "Fun Publications has determined that there is a security issue with our e-commerce systems." Citing that members' information submissions assisted in determining the flaw, Mr. Savage also says that the source and the extent of the breach is currently unknown. Continue reading...

But just like previous years, there is room for one more as chosen by the fans!

During our initial perusal of the Game Informer Transformers Fall of Cybertron article which provided the first looks at Onslaught, one of the Combaticons that will form Bruticus, we missed this gallery which provided these gems: a complete look at a combined Bruticus, and the other two missing limbs, Transformers Generations Deluxe Blast Off and Vortex as well as their concept art! Check them all out in the full article!



The digital edition of Game Informer #227 is online and we have additional information on the Transformers Fall of Cybertron Combaticon toys, including a look at Onslaught! In the article Jerry Jovoin, director of Transformers brand at Hasbro, Inc, confirms that these figures will be released under the Transformers Generations toyline, meaning that these figures will be deluxe class-sized, making them one of the largest combiners in recent memory. The toys from the previous game Transformers War for Cybertron were also released under the Generations line. Read more in the full article.



Takara Tomy has brand-new figures as part of their Transformers United line, which include UN-23 Rodimus Prime, UN-24 Warpath, UN-25 Tank Megatron, UN-26 Thunderwing, and UN-27 Windcharger vs Decepticon Wipeout. The figures are a nice combination of Hasbro's release under various lines, including their Universe 2.0 (and Classics before that), Generations, and various figures released under the Transformers Hunt For the Decepticons line and the generic Transformers line after that. The figures released were all acquired by the Alfes blog and have posted galleries to all of them. We have snagged highlights of each toy and offered them in the gallery, but be sure to check the "Source" section for all of the links.

Game Informer continues their month-long coverage of Transformers Fall of Cybertron with a detailed look at the new weapons in the game. Unlike Transformers War for Cybertron, each weapon are upgradeable through universal munitions stations scattered around the planet. “We really made a conscious choice to make every upgrade a significant improvement, so one upgrade might increase your firing speed by 75 percent,” explains game director Matt Tieger. Continue reading...



We all know from the title of Transformers Fall of Cybertron that things are not going well for the planet, but how does that change the Autobots and Decepticons in the game? Well, in Optimus Prime's case he is a lot more raw and massive than his character depicted in Transformers War for Cybertron. Think of the character's design as a "fist with wheels attached to it." In a preview for the game, Lead Artist Ivan Power and Principal Artist Mike Brown at High Moon Studios provide Game Informer a preview of Prime's in-game design. Read more...



Matt Tieger, the Game Director of Transformers Fall of Cybertron will be attending New York Comic-Con 2011, which begins this Thursday October 13th until October 16, 2011 at the Jacob Javitz Center.

Action Figures


One of my favorite video reviewers Peaugh has posted a review for one of my favorite upcoming releases. The Transformers: War For Cybertron deluxe class Optimus Prime action figure. It has been a mysterious toy of sorts with the way the chest plate works on the robot and vehicle modes. There's lots to meet your eye on this toy and hopefully this review will give you some new / more appreciation for this Convoy.


Thanks to S250, we have some comparison images of Transformers: War for Cybertron Optimus Prime and Classic Optimus Prime figures. The robot modes are comporable but the War for Cybertron vehicle mode is a bit smaller than the Voyager Classics version. Take a look at additional images including the back of the War for Cybertron figure (sans head) and two comparison images of the figures in vehicle mode.


The folks over at UGO have landed the first pics of War for Cybertron's Optimus and Megatron toys fully painted and in both robot and alternate modes! Check them out here.


The Transformers Collectors Club has posted the cover to their 31st issue of their club magazine, and it reveals the Transformers: War For Cybertron Bumblebee figure in robot mode. The image reveals a Bumblebee which is very similar to the video game counterpart, albeit a little more gold. The posting on the club's official website also reveals that the article will spotlight a Q&A session with Activision. A future issue of the club magazine will also feature Jim Sorenson, who will provide a sneak peek of the products available this year.


Update: Transformers Collectors' Club has officially released the Bumblebee image that was previously reported here. More information on the reveal of issue #31 is available in this article. So after a couple of reports that the upcoming Transformers: War for Cybertron video game from Activision and High Moon Studios would be accompanied by a toyline from Hasbro, Inc., it has been officially confirmed that this is indeed true. The official statement was obtained by Game Informer, who requested comment from Hasbro, Inc. Read about it all after the jump.

We only had screen shots of the official game's website to provide, but thankfully Activision helped us out and provided some official shots of the characters in their robot modes. The character designs are just as awesome, but, you know, just clearer. Take a look after the jump.


TFClub has acquired a very nice copy of the Transformers: War for Cybertron Deluxe Optimus Prime figure and has graciously decided to share some great views with us.
