Thanks to Seibertron for
reporting that a new video can be found on
SectorSeven.org, using the password of FWIFFO, or by going
direct without a password.
It starts out with Dr.
Rebecca Howard handcuffed to a chair and being interrogated by Lt. Col.
Alexander Powers about the previous video linked to the ! icon. (Note:
the previous video linked here is now linked to the bio-hazard icon.)
When Powers gets called away to deal with an urgent matter, Agent X
invites Howard to join his cause. When she agrees, the vid goes black.
Sounds of someone unlocking her handcuffs can be heard. When it goes
back to (some-what) normal, Powers returns to find that Howard has
escaped.

"Take command of your phone and help the Autobots find the Allspark, a source of energy hidden on Earth. Fight as Optimus Prime and change from vehicle to robot and back again with special weapons capabilities. Battle the evil Decepticons across multiple levels and enlist the help of other Autobots as you race to claim the ultimate source of power for all TRANSFORMERS."

Thanks once again to the folk at Winning Moves for taking the time to answer a few more questions we posed to them regarding the
Transformers Top Trumps game that will be release in June here in the UK.
The forthcoming pack will be based on new material and will contain a variety of characters. Unfortunatly Winning Move are unable to reveal how long they have the Transformers license for, but when asked if there will be on-going Transformer packs, such as all Autobots and all Decepticons they simple replied "
never say never".
As metioned in
our report yesterday, the game is out in June with a RRP of £3.99. As always, expect more information as we get it.

Seibertron have an intresting
report they have found on
Comic Book ResourceRich Johnston at Comic Book Resources posted:"Transformers 2" is being prepped for 2009, as is a new cartoon series to spin off the upcoming movie.
The reason given to licensors as to why the robots look so different in
the film is so that hardcore fans will stay loyal and keep buying the
old toys, which they're relaunching, even if they hate the new movie.
Licensing has explicitly stated that companies doing merchandising have
to avoid doing anything too similar to the original Transformers line,
so as not to mix the two separate and profitable properties.
