Hasbro have issued the following press release regarding Hasbro Studios which makes mention to new programming being planned for many of their brands including Transfomers right at the end of the release.  Of course it could just be that they wanted to throw in some of their biggest properties into the press release and, therefore, does not mean that its a 100% certainty that Hasbro Studio will be behind the next animated incarnation of the Transformers brand.

Transformers ­Revenge of the Fallen concept artist Steve Jung has updated his website with a new piece of concept artwork which reveals his design for what the merged form of the motorcycle gang Arcee, Chromia and Elita-1 may have looked like.­

You may recall that back on the 12th September we reported a news story titled Crew Members Respond to Megan Fox's Insults­, ­in which we published the "Open Letter" that three members of the Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen crew had written about Megan Fox in response to comments made by her regarding Michael Bay.

We we rightly predicted Michael Bay came out in her defence and had the original post removed from his message board.

Well now Miss Fox, via her publicist has issued the following short statement.

"I have spoken with the parties involved privately, I am very fortunate to be involved in this amazing franchise and look forward to Transformers 3."

I thought we'd start today with a news story of a different kind.  Our thanks go out to Jason Vernon for kindly sending through a photograph of a cake his girlfriend Jules spent three days working on for a friend's birthday.  The cake is of Transformers Movie Bumblebee and can be seen in the image below.  Click on the thumbnail to view the image full sized.

S250 was able to obtain and share some of the unused Transformers Animated designs for Season 3. The designs features the unused Reflector along with Ultra Magnus Cybertron alternate mode as High Brow alternate mode, both used in flash back sequences.

Seibertron.com was the first site to mirror the images.
