Transformers Universe
MMO Panel At Auto Assembly 2011!
You may have thought
that you had seen all of our major announcements regarding Auto Assembly 2011,
but we said we had a few more special announcements that we had held back - and
here's one of the biggest that we have been wanting to tell you all about for
quite some time...
The upcoming
Transformers Universe MMO is on course to be one of the most eagerly awaited
Transformers games EVER. The online MMO will be giving players the chance to
take charge of a brand new self-created Autobot or Decepticon and play against
thousands of other players across the globe!
The game is being
created by Jagex, the British developers who are responsible for Runescape
which is the world's most popular free-to-play MMOG and over 40 other online
titles.
Jagex will be at Auto
Assembly 2011 and will be taking to the stage for a presentation on the game
and for a Q&A Session on the Saturday afternoon which promises to be one of
the hits of the convention, where they will be revealing some new information
about the game EXCLUSIVELY to Auto Assembly attendees!
That's not all though,
we can also now reveal that we are being joined by our SIXTEENTH guest! A late
addition to our already stunning line-up is Marvel G1 artist and inker Stephen
Baskerville who will be making his Auto Assembly debut this year. He will be
taking to the stage as part of our revised comic panel on Saturday afternoon
joining Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman to talk about Transformers #81...
Auto Assembly 2011 is
taking place over the weekend of 12th - 14th August 2011 at the Holiday Inn
Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England and tickets are available from the
website now. For more details on the convention, to see a full list of all the

![Transformers Movie News](http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/images/news/category/transformers-movies.png)
According to Box Office Mojo, as of yesterday Transformers: Dark of the Moon has now grossed an incredible $982,892,000 at the box office. This figure is split $337,892,000 within the US and $645,000,000 around the world and makes it the 10th highest grossing movie of all time!
With the world's press all reporting that the latest Harry Potter movie has now taken over $1 billion, attention as moved firmly away from the latest Transformers film which has continued to draw in a bucket load of cash. The three live action films have now collectively taken $2,528,899,008, that's 2.5 billion dollars and so you can be sure that Paramount Pictures will want to keep the franchise running especially considering each that revenues have increased with each movie instalment.
Stay with us as if Transformers DOTM breaks the $1 billion mark then we will let you know

Celebrate Target 2006 At Auto Assembly 2011
Marvel
UK were renowned for producing some of the best Transformers comics
ever written, thanks to the talents of Simon Furman. One of the most
notable stories he produced during the comic's incredible 332 issue run
was "Target 2006" which was set immediately after Transformers: The
Movie and Auto Assembly 2011 is celebrating the 25th Anniversary of this
landmark comic...
As you know, the convention is running from
12th - 14th August 2011 and usually the Friday night is an informal
get-together to get everyone in the relaxed mood for the main
convention, with videos and one or two other fun activities. However,
this year we are having our first ever Friday night guest panel! Taking
to the stage will be Simon Furman and artist Geoff Senior to talk about
their work on Target 2006 in a special discussion hosted by IDW
artist/writer Nick Roche who worked on the covers for the IDW re-prints
of these monumental books!
It will take place on the Friday
evening of the convention but, as always, the Friday evening programme
is EXCLUSIVELY for those fans who have purchased a weekend pass for the
convention! This is going to be a fascinating insight into a remarkable
comic book and is something you won't want to miss!
Finally, we
have just released our latest news update video to our official Youtube
Channel. It has details and updates on all of competitions taking place
over the weekend, information on the charities that we are raising money
for this year and a bit of information about Auto Assembly 2012 as
well. Check out the video here:-
