It seems that our Cyber Planet Key is hidden a little too well, well we do have several thousand pages on the site so finding it is a little difficult. To make things easier here is the 2nd clue. The Cyber Planet Key is hidden in our Reviews & Articles area and you shouldn't have any problems find it.

We now have 20 sources of news headlines appearing on our In The News service. The 20th source is alt.toys.transformers, re-iterating why our In The News page is the place to look when it comes to breaking Transformers news.

Our message is currently offline due to server issues over at Proboards. You can view the proboards Server status page here.

We've updated our In The News page with a couple of changes. First, we added the 20th source of Transformers related news, Michael Bay's Message Board, but only for Michaels posts. The News-Bots will check through out the day and update the headline with any new posts by Mr Bay and, of course, giving you the direct link to the posts. We then removed the old Transformers Live! Blog as a source of news, so we're back down to 19 sources (sorry you'll have to make do with that for now ;-)). Then we decided to re-arrange the order of the Official and Convention News as well as Trade and Industry News, so you may get a little lost at first. We've also, finally, added some anchors so you can quickly navigate the page.

In The News is still the only place you will find the latest headlines from 19 sources of possible Transformers Related news without predjudice to the websites running the stories.

Roberto Orci has dropped by Don Murphy's Message Board to post the following on Soundwave.

It was brought to my attention that I won a spammy! Thank you, everybody!

To show my thanks, let me say that Soundwave will NOT be a helicopter!

later....

Michael Bay has posted another update on the Transformers Film over on his message board here. Here is what he had to say.

The prep for the movie is going well. The military looks like it is going to support the film which is a big deal in giving the movie scope and credibility. The Pentagon has always been great with me because I make our military look good.

All the posts and talk about the original voices --- could we just let it rest for a while? I heard everyone, I'm thinking about it. We are reinventing how the robots look, transform and move - Remember these are the most realistic Transformers you will have ever seen. They have to fit completely into the human world to make this live action film credible. I have shown the animatics and some of the hundreds of drawings - TO THE MOST RELIGIOUS OF FANS - they tell me they are "mind-blowing" and "take it to a level they never considered" - I guess that's good? Time will tell.

Believe me I respect the fans. But I just want you to give me a chance because I'm working with some really talented artists to create this vision. But it is a vision that allows for growth, change, improvement and surprises. Looking back at the history of Transformers, remember there has been tons of change and improvements over the years.

I'm working on third act action, and if you could - what would you imagine for great robot action?


Talk to you soon,

All the best, Michael

Press Release
The Hasbro Properties Group, the intellectual property development arm of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS - News) and Activision, Inc, (NASDAQ: ATVI - News), a leading publisher of interactive entertainment software products, announced today a license that grants Activision the global rights, excluding Japan, to develop console, handheld and PC games based on Hasbro's renowned TRANSFORMERS brand. The first game will be tied to the much-anticipated July 4, 2007 movie release of the live action TRANSFORMERS film from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures.

The TRANSFORMERS brand has been one of the best-selling boys' action brands in a wide-range of categories, from toys to publishing to apparel, since its launch as a global property in 1984. Hasbro is currently gearing up to activate one of the Company's most ambitious worldwide marketing and merchandising programs yet to coincide with the live action movie in 2007.

"We are thrilled to work with Activision to bring the widely popular TRANSFORMERS brand to the world of digital entertainment and introduce millions of consumers to our best-known TRANSFORMER and biggest hero of all time--OPTIMUS PRIME," said Jane Ritson-Parsons, president of the Hasbro Properties Group (HPG). "As the leading developer of video games, Activision shares our passion and excitement for the TRANSFORMERS story line. We know this world-class and creative team will bring TRANSFORMERS to life in powerful and exciting ways as we immerse a broad audience in this pop-culture phenomenon."

"TRANSFORMERS has all of the elements necessary to translate incredibly well into video games," said Mike Griffith, president and CEO, Activision Publishing, Inc. "We look forward to bringing the TRANSFORMERS robots to life with the latest interactive technology and graphics."

The announcement of Activision as the global game publisher for the TRANSFORMERS brand marks the beginning of Hasbro's commitment to bring its well-known toy and game brands further into the digital media space. This effort follows the reacquisition of its video gaming rights from Infogrames Entertainment SA in June 2005.

"Video gaming is a natural next step for our classic properties as children and adults alike live more of their lives around technology," said Ritson-Parsons. "We see the digital arena as a great complement to the lifestyle experiences that we're providing to consumers in a variety of categories."

In addition to console, handheld and PC-based games, Hasbro plans to expand the TRANSFORMERS brand's reach through ring tones, mobile gaming and a host of other products for gaming fans of all ages.

The live-action TRANSFORMERS movie from DreamWorks Pictures, Hasbro and Paramount Pictures, will be directed by Michael Bay ("The Rock" and "Armageddon") from a screenplay being written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci ("Mission Impossible: 3"). Tom DeSanto ("X-Men" and "X2: X-Men United"), Don Murphy ("The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen") and Lorenzo di Bonaventura ("Four Brothers") are producing the film, with Steven Spielberg and Hasbro's Brian Goldner executive producing.
