THE BATTLE FOR THE ALLSPARK IGNITES ONLINE WITH THE LAUNCH OF TRANSFORMERS: THE GAME WEBSITE

Santa Monica, CA – April 27, 2007 – It’s time to choose your side! The fight for earth is being waged online with the launch of The Battle for the AllSpark web game on the official TRANSFORMERS: The Game site from Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), under license from HPG, the licensing division of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE:HAS). Starting tonight fans can log on to http://www.transformersgame.com to get the latest news and information on the highly anticipated game, as well as sign up as an AUTOBOTS or DECEPTICONS character and join forces with a global team vying for prizes, exclusive access to game information and control over Earth.

The Battle for the AllSpark is a worldwide online multiplayer experience that allows fans to play on the AUTOBOTS or DECEPTICONS team to face off in real time challenges that pit one side against the other in a struggle to take over the world. Players contend in one-on-one skirmishes that continually earn points for themselves and their team. Each week, individuals with the highest scores will be rewarded with a variety of prizes, while the side with the largest score takes control of the AllSpark and is granted exclusive access to special sections of the site.

Based on TRANSFORMERS, the upcoming live-action feature film due out on July 4th from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures, in association with Hasbro, TRANSFORMERS: The Game lets players choose to protect the Earth as AUTOBOTS or destroy it as DECEPTICONS. Playing as OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE, MEGATRON, BARRICADE and other characters, gamers will experience the unstoppable power and massive scale of their favorite ROBOTS IN DISGUISE as they battle for Earth.

It has a long flash intro, Ryan. The moral high ground is still yours

It's just Hasbro trying to cash in on an already winning idea. I might see what it's about later on but it won't change the fact that I start my day with Seibertron.com and I end it with a little HMW.

Maybe it is a free non-movie film toy that is only givin away to anyonewho buys the collecters edition. Just a thought

Wow... if that's how Megatron is going to sound in the game, its no wonder Welker's not reprising the role in the movie. The didn't sound like G1 Megatron at all. Of course, it could be raw audio, too; and with today's audio technology, who knows.

An online TF game sounds like lots of fun!

wish someone thought of it sooner:)

It comes with the movie poster that has the eye looking at Earth.

I may sign up for this, but every time I try, the pop-up says the webpage can't be found :???:

That's not all it comes with because you get the poster whether you reserve the regular edition or Collectors Edition

Looks like the game at transformersgame.com is up and running now...

Posted: **Sat Apr 28, 2007 1:34 am**

Everytime it asks me for my 'bots name it keeps saying the name is taken. No matter what the name is. I randomly mash the keyboard and it still says the name is taken.

Anyone else having this problem?

EDIT:

I worked it out. Put in your name once and then open a new window, log into the game as if you were already a member. It accepted the first name I put in. Weird, it's like it doesn't want to progress in the submission process.

One other thing, has anyone else noticed when you load up the 'Prizes' window, above Hasbro Toys is an image of Leader Class Megatron. In box! Did I miss this? Does anyone know if there is a larger version of this picture?

Posted: **Sat Apr 28, 2007 5:41 am**

So where does one log into the game? I still see the website the same way it was a couple of weeks ago

Posted: **Sat Apr 28, 2007 5:56 am**

me too cant get into the game did you guys get into it by the vip?

Posted: **Sat Apr 28, 2007 6:10 am**

I'm setting up my robots and all the names I type in seem to have been taken! All my HMW names

(although maybe it's a aglitch?)
(but hellsinger and hellbore are invalid names)
(it must be crazy 93857092436209 is taken)
(then I logged out and logged back in and had my first choice of name ona con already... weird)
(okay.. played for a few battles, feels loike pokemon so far)

Posted: **Sat Apr 28, 2007 6:41 am**

So still no link eh? This sucks major

Posted: **Sat Apr 28, 2007 7:57 am**

I played for wahile. I learned how to win seimiregularly. I still don't know how my 3 attacks were determined or if I'm going to be able to upgrade or anysomesuch.... or even transform.

Posted: **Sat Apr 28, 2007 8:19 am**

Apparently you have to be 18 in order to participate. Once again, my being born late in the summer comes back to bite me in the ass

Posted: **Sat Apr 28, 2007 8:59 am**

For those who don't know how to get to the game, here's how:

1. Clear your internet browser's cache. Apparently stupid bloody firefox still kept the old cache of this site, despite the clear on exit option

2. Go here: http://www.transformersgame.com/battle/index.html or transformersgame.com
3. signup, must be 18 yrs old and choose your faction.
4. Now when you log in, make sure you choose which bot you want first. Then type your name in the box and click submit. Now the error will say it's taken, but that's the whole idea, you just "took" it lol. Close the page and go back to it and log in again. Then you should see the map screen.

Hope this helps. I had to figure this out on my own, apparently since I could not find any help.
