Angry Birds Transformers Officially Announced!

Back in January we teased you with the mere mention of this techno-mash-up, which actually made more sense to us than Star Wars angry birds did...in some odd way. Now, on the eve of the Licensing show in Las Vegas and as the new film inches closer, Rovio is ready to let the information fly!

Autobirds, assemble! Rovio Entertainment and Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) are teaming up again to bring together two of the world’s largest and most popular entertainment brands and their fans. Angry Birds Transformers will come to life in multiple forms, including a mobile game, consumer licensed goods and a product line from Hasbro.

Transformers: The Covenant of Primus

Further exploration into the world of little mysterious black books from BookExpo America 2013! First,  we took a look at Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter Code, featuring a sort of study manual from your favorite Mandalorian, Boba Fett! This time, we'll be delving into the world of the Transformers. I've always appreciated when writers provide for a rich back story, even as an add on to material that has been around for years, so long as it follows a logical path in reference to what we know already. The Covenant of Primus looks to do just that. Will this book reveal anything the big bot die-hards don't already know? Let's find out.

A Look Inside Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

August 28, 2012 is the release date for what looks like the most ambitious Transformers video game ever attempted. Today, Activision gives us a NEW look inside the game and glimpses at what it takes to create a giant robo epic...

The successor to the highest-rated Transformers game of all time and in development by the acclaimed team at High Moon Studios, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron allows players to experience the darkest hours of the war between the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS as they vie for control of their dying home world. Fans will fight through both sides of the Transformers' most epic battles that culminate in their legendary exodus from Cybertron. With the stakes higher and scale bigger than ever, fans will embark on an action-packed journey through massive, war-torn environments designed around each character's unique abilities and alternate forms, including GRIMLOCK's nearly indestructible T-Rex form and the legendary COMBATICONS combining into the colossal BRUTICUS. Taking the franchise's competitive multiplayer to all-new heights, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron lets fans go head-to-head in blistering AUTOBOT vs. DECEPTICON matches after creating their own unique characters with the most in-depth, advanced customization ever before seen in a Transformers game.

Late in 2009, some of the top customizers in the industry contributed to our inaugural charity auction to be hosted on Ebay. Concentrating on the heroic Autobots in the Transformers toy line (featuring such popular mainstream characters as Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Jazz and others), the auction benefited the fine people at Make-A-Wish. The auction was a success, raising over $1100 for the charity.

Now we are running our second auction, again featuring some of the best talent in the industry. This time, the focus is on the Autobots' counterparts, the evil Decepticons (featuring Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and many others). The auction will again be hosted on Ebay and, since April is Autism Awareness Month, the charity we chose is the Autism Society of America. The auction is now live and runs through Sunday, May 2nd.
