<description><![CDATA[The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Transformers 4 will begin shooting there in June. More specifically in the towns of Lockhart, Taylor, Elgin and Pflugerville.<br />
<br />

<blockquote class="uncited">
<div>A large Austin production office opened in March, but location scouting dates to November. There was initial interest in the Circuit of the Americas racetrack southeast of Austin, but instead the Austin Film Commission says the focus is on small towns that remind Bay of Robert Frank’s 1950s photos collected in the classic book The Americans.<br />
In Taylor, 30 minutes from Austin, a police chase will close downtown and a railroad overpass, said Deby Lannen, the city’s Main Street program manager. A car will be exploded in the city’s Robinson Park. “It’s pretty exciting,” she said.<br />
“I know there will be things exploded in Taylor for sure. Some will be physical effects, some CGI,” said Gary Bond, head of the Austin Film Commission.

Is this part of the "car chase from Hell" that we previously heard about? Only time will tell, but it's looking that way.<br />

This rectifies the previous speculation that the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/transformers-go-anime-confirmed-t94170.php">two combiner figures were one of each faction</a>, stating that all six characters are in fact combining Autobots.<br />

<br />

<blockquote class="uncited">
<div>The magazine spread for Go! said that Optimus and co. had sealed Predaking away inside the Earth using the artfact known as the "Legendisk,"<br />
and left Earth to hunt down other Predacons who had spread throughout the galaxy. They entrusted the duty of hunting down the scattering of Predacons still on Earth to a team of six Autobots...<br />
<br />
In that sense, it takes place after BH, but whether it will link up smoothly is anyone's guess.

<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Choose to Protect Mankind as AUTOBOTS or Steal Earth's Resources as DECEPTICONS in the Ultimate TRANSFORMERS Mobile Card Battle Game</span><br />
 <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">SAN FRANCISCO - April 25, 2013</span> - DeNA Co., Ltd. (TSE: 2432) and Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) have released <a target="_blank" href="http://www.transformers-legends.com">TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS</a>, an action card battle game based on the TRANSFORMERS franchise, on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and on Google Play for Android devices.<br />
 <br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.transformers-legends.com">TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS</a> sets players on a war-torn Earth where they will choose to build a team of AUTOBOTS or DECEPTICONS to travel through two adventurous storylines, and battle against one another in intense player-versus-player combat.<br />
 <br />
"The TRANSFORMERS brand is a fantastic universe for our development team to create a fast-paced gameplay experience with gorgeous visuals, original characters, and never-before-seen game mechanics in the card-battle genre," said Clive Downie, CEO of DeNA West. "<a target="_blank" href="http://www.transformers-legends.com">TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS</a> packs an extraordinary amount of fun and engaging action into mobile devices for everyone, from the most devout TRANSFORMERS fans to those players that might be experiencing the ‘More Than Meets the Eye' property for the first time."<br />
 <br />
Inspired by the "first generation" characters and styling of the TRANSFORMERS brand introduced by Hasbro in the 1980's, players can collect hundreds of diverse TRANSFORMERS characters in their "Robot Mode" and "Alt Mode," which can be used in battle or to upgrade and level up other cards to create an even stronger deck. Players can also collect and combine the matching Robot and Alt modes of the same TRANSFORMERS characters to create stronger AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS with special bonuses in battle, giving players a powerful advantage against their opponents.<br />

<description><![CDATA[To coincide with today's launch of the popular <a target="_blank" href="http://www.transformers-legends.com">TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS</a> game on <a target="_blank" href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/transformers-legends/id638330057?mt=8">iOS devices</a> (iPod, iPad, and iPhone), the folks behind the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.transformers-legends.com">TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS</a> took some time to answer a bunch of our questions regarding this game. The responses are from Tom Hess, DeNA Producer of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.transformers-legends.com">TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS</a>.<br />
<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.transformers-legends.com">TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS</a> is available on Android and iOS devices. You can download the app for Android devices <a target="_blank" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobage.ww.a926.Transformers_Android">here</a> in the <a target="_blank" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobage.ww.a926.Transformers_Android">Google Play Store</a> and for iOS devices in the <a target="_blank" href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/transformers-legends/id638330057?mt=8">iTunes App Store</a> by clicking <a target="_blank" href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/transformers-legends/id638330057?mt=8">here</a>.<br />

<a target="_blank" href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/transformers-legends/id638330057?mt=8"><img src="http://www.seibertron.com/images/logos/ios-app-store-w300.png" alt="Seibertron.com&#039;s exclusive interview with TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS" /></a><a target="_blank" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobage.ww.a926.Transformers_Android"><img src="http://www.seibertron.com/images/logos/google-play-get-it-on-w300.png" alt="Seibertron.com&#039;s exclusive interview with TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: How long was the development process on this game? Did Hasbro approach DeNA or did DeNA approach Hasbro about the idea?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> It has taken almost a full year since the idea was born. We were looking for a strong intellectual property (IP) that would work great with the card battle game design system. Both myself and other members of the team are huge Transformers fans and we felt that we could make a great card battle game with the Transformers license. So we approached Hasbro about the idea, and thus <a target="_blank" href="http://www.transformers-legends.com">TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS</a> was born.<br />
<br />

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ksctG8Fzvc8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
</iframe><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: Can you tell us about your experience working with Hasbro? Maybe tell us a little bit about the approval process, etc.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> Our relationship with Hasbro has been fantastic. Both companies are very excited about the game. Our team at DeNA comes up with the characters we want to make and the themes of the Episodes. We then send those ideas to Hasbro so they can help make sure everything is authentic to the Transformers Universe. It's great to have access to such a valuable resource.  Once the theme and characters are approved then we start creating the art.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: Are there any other games that the development team used as inspirations for the Transformers Legends game?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> We’re fortunate at DeNA that our parent company in Japan is an established leader in developing mobile card battle games like the popular title Blood Brothers. The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.transformers-legends.com">TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS</a> development team is based in DeNA’s San Francisco office, and it has been great to leverage our Japanese colleagues’ expertise in mobile game design with our San Francisco-based team’s knowledge of making games in the West.<br />
<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.seibertron.com/images/games/transformers-legends/sketch_bumblebee.jpg"><img src="http://www.seibertron.com/images/games/transformers-legends/sketch_bumblebee-w800.jpg" alt="Seibertron.com&#039;s exclusive interview with TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: The artwork of the Transformers is beautiful. Can you share some information with us about the artists involved with the game such as their names, backgrounds, past experience, other games or projects they have worked on in the past?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> Our internal art team has quite a diverse background with experience in developing PC/Mac, AAA console, and of course mobile games. Here are some quick bios of the internal art team:<br />

<br />
We're also very lucky to work with some excellent external sketch artists including Transformers comic veterans Guido Guidi and Dan Khanna. They were instrumental in helping develop the new angle on the Transformers robots. Additionally, we work with some extremely talented painters. It was a challenge to get all the different parts of the pipeline to create a cohesive look but we're happy with the results and excited about some new twists we have coming up.<br />
<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.seibertron.com/images/games/transformers-legends/sketch_megatron.jpg"><img src="http://www.seibertron.com/images/games/transformers-legends/sketch_megatron-w800.jpg" alt="Seibertron.com&#039;s exclusive interview with TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: Are there any plans to have a book tie-in that showcases the artwork from the game? I'm sure a lot of Seibertronians out there would be very excited about a Transformers Legends book.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> Stay tuned to find out!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: For the programming and computer geeks out there, can you tell us a little bit about what's going on behind the scenes programming wise? What programming language was the game developed in? Anything cool from a programming perspective that the developers would like to share or rave about? Any brand spankin' new technologies being used that the programmers are excited about implementing?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.transformers-legends.com">TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS</a> is entirely developed using javascript - Client and Server. Game clients are using a cross platform game engine called ngCore (<a target="_blank" href="https://developer.mobage.com/en/resources?set_sdk=ngCore">https://developer.mobage.com/en/resources?set_sdk=ngCore</a>). It enables us to create native quality mobile games for Android and iOS. The server is developed using node.js with mongodb, redis and memcached. The common language allows faster iteration times during development.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: Will the upcoming iPhone version be identical as the Android version or will there be some differences between the two? If there are any differences, what can you tell us about what to expect?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> They will be exactly the same.  In fact you will be able to access the same account on both devices.  So if you want to play on your Android phone on your way home from work and your iPad when you get home, you can!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: Some of the character designs appear to originate with the toys. Some of the characters have not received a toy in modern times. Can you tell us about the design process and where the character designs came from? Maybe provide a few examples to demonstrate various sources ...</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> We use as much reference as we can but get our key elements from the toys.  When developing a look for a character we follow one guideline - the character must be instantly recognizable.  So even though we will adjust proportions and levels of articulation, the character must have the identifying features that define it.  We may do a new angle on those features, but the original integrity of them must be kept in tact.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: From what I've seen so far, Transformers Legends is very G1 based. Are there any plans to integrate popular characters from other series such as Blackout (Movie/Animated), Barricade (Movie), Jolt (Movie), Strika (Animated/Beast Machines), Obsidian (Beast Machines), Bulkhead (Animated/Prime), and other popular favorites?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> Right now we are really focused on G1. There are so many great story lines that we can still explore, but that doesn't mean we can't start incorporating different characters and styles of Transformers. That is one of the great things about the brand; the Transformers Universe is so broad.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: Are there any plans to roll out other versions or editions of the game such as Beast Wars or the live action Movie universe?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> We have been exploring ideas around Beast Wars.  You’ll have to stay tuned for upcoming Episodes to find out.  As for the movie universe, that is an interesting idea but we're focused on G1 for now as there are so many interesting storylines to explore. The movies are great on their own of course, and I personally can't wait to see Transformers 4.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: Is there any hint or suggestion about the game that the developers would like to share with everyone? Maybe a tip for something that they think players might be overlooking or something.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> TRANSFORMERS characters are already very powerful by nature, but you can push their strength to even much greater heights by following these tips:<br />
<br />

<ul>
<li>Upgrade your cards to make them more powerful. Use redundant cards you collect throughout the game to upgrade your favorite cards. The redundant cards are converted into XP, which is used to level up your selected card. With every next level the stats of your card increases. Maxed out cards also receive an extra bonus in battle.
</li>
<li>Trans-Scan is an excellent way to increase the power of a TRANSFORMERS character card. Trans-Scan is the process of combining the Alt mode and the Robot mode of a character card. If you upgrade both the Robot Mode and the Alt Mode to Max Level before performing the Trans-Scan, you will get the largest stat increase - a 10% bonus per card on all stats! Cards that have been Trans-Scanned also receive a bonus during combat.
</li>
<li>Weapons are cards that can be equipped by TRANSFORMERS character cards. Every TRANSFORMERS character card has a Specialization and Class. By equipping weapons that match these roles the power of the character card gets boosted. But every TRANSFORMERS character card from rarity 3 and up also has its own unique signature weapon card. Matching the character with its unique own weapon card boosts the stats of character cards significantly, over 150% and more. Obtain the matching weapon card that belongs to your strongest character cards to unlock the full potential of your deck. Some weapons also have special abilities that really put the power in your card’s punch; triple attacks, increased critical strikes or increase card’s attack power by a multitude!
</li>
<li>Recommend is an easy and quick way to make sure you have the strongest deck possible. When you hit recommend the game selects and equips the most powerful character and weapon cards available. Checking the Deck Power stat is an excellent and easy way to monitor the increase of your deck’s power.
</li>
<li>Rarity determines the power of a card; the higher the number on the card frame the stronger the card. Try to collect as much high rarity cards as possible to make your deck stronger.
</li>
<li>Always make sure you not only have the strong Team, but also make sure you put your strongest cards in the AUTOBOT and DECEPTICON Squads. These squads are used for boss battles and by winning boss battles you can capture it’s weapon. You don’t want to miss out on these opportunities by losing the battle - so always bring your strongest cards with you!
</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: Will DeNA be attending BotCon (the official Transformers convention), San Diego Comic-Con or any other events where fans can interact directly with DeNA? I'm sure everyone at Seibertron.com would love to see Transformers Legends represented properly at BotCon.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> We're always excited to meet our players and get their feedback on the game. We are still in the midst of planning our events presence for this year, but San Diego Comic-Con and BotCon are definitely on our radar. In the meantime, if you have any thoughts or suggestions on other events we should bring the game to, please feel free to leave us a note on our feedback page in the game: <a target="_blank" href="https://transformerslegends.uservoice.com/forums/188000-transformers-legends-1-0">https://transformerslegends.uservoice.com/forums/188000-transformers-legends-1-0</a><br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: Are there plans to release the game for other Android based devices such as the Kindle?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> There are no plans at this time. But I've passed the suggestion along!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: Does the Transformers Legends team have a consensus on a favorite character? What about their favorite allegiance: Autobots or Deceptions? Why?</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">DeNA:</span> There is no consensus.  We all have our favorites. Below are the team’s answers to the last two questions.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Tom</span><br />
Character: Skywarp.  He was my favorite toy as a kid.<br />
Faction: Decepticons all the way. I always wanted them to win just once in the cartoon and I like fighter jets as well.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">John</span><br />
Character: Soundwave<br />
Faction: Decpticons hands down. They have the cool tech.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Scott</span><br />
Character: Jazz.  I always like him in the cartoon.<br />
Faction: I root for the Autobots on the show, but my initial selection in the game was Decepticons. Being a jet is way cooler!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Vince</span><br />
Character: Ravage<br />
Faction: Decepticons, because 'good is dumb'.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Max</span><br />
Character: soundwave (me love gadgets)<br />
Faction: Decepticon (muhahahaha) <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Maximiliano</span><br />
Character: Optimus Prime<br />
Faction: Autobots... sanctimoniousness.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Bert-jan</span><br />
Character: Without much doubt that would be Devastator. He is this incredibly powerful Gestalt, and his combined physical power is only rivaled and surpassed by a few. Mentally though, that's a different story. His limited psyche is quite primitive and he only really gets anything done when all parts agree, which is rare, and so more often then not he's a giant of uncontrolled rage and fury. For the most part he's as dumb as a box of hammers and only capable of destruction and little else, but considering how Decepticons go, that's not much of a problem.<br />
Faction: Decepticons. They got the cool jets. They've got Devastator. How many more reasons do you need?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Appie</span><br />
Character: Have to agree with Bert, I think Devastator is pretty cool because he literally ate a pyramid in the 2nd movie and sometimes I'm that hungry too<br />
Faction: Whichever has more girl ones <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Fabian</span><br />
Character: Laserbeak: As a Chilean I have to choose Laserbeak. He can transform into a Condor, the national bird of Chile, which is really awesome and beautiful.<br />
Faction: Decepticon. Being the good guy is too easy, and Decepticons always had the best transformations (in my opinion). <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Sunghoon</span><br />
Character: My favorite character is Autobot Jazz and it is transformed from the car, and cars are my best interest.<br />
I painted the car version and I was very excited while I was painting.<br />
Faction: however, I love the most characters in Decepticon because many of them have strong personality in style. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Sam</span><br />
Character:  Grimlock<br />
Faction: I'd have to say the Autobots. They're working to protect the universe, which is a plus, and they have some of the most memorable members: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, and of course Grimlock (technically). Oh, and Daniel Witwicky. Never mind lets go with Decepticons.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Cameron</span><br />
Character: Steeljaw. He was the toy I could always carry with me wherever I went, and he's literally a magnetic cassette tape that turns into a lion. That's either ridiculous, awesome, or a little of both. I'm not qualified to judge.<br />
Faction: Autobots. Evil is only fun when it's competent. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Ken</span><br />
Character:  Unicron. Go big or go home! Unless you live on Unicron, because you're already home. But you probably have a very short lifespan.<br />
Faction: Decepticons. Evil is only fun when it's INcompetent. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Jason</span><br />
Character: Grimlock<br />
Faction: Autobots because red > purple<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Nathan</span><br />
Character: Jetfire. He came in this huge box, and you could only buy him one hour away from where I lived.  I spent all my allowance on him and even though he repeatedly bruised my finger when I popped open the metal front landing gear, he was always my favorite Transformer.<br />
Faction: Autobots<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">Seibertron.com: From all of us here at Seibertron.com and from Transformers fans around the world, thank you to DeNA for taking this time to answer all of our questions about <a target="_blank" href="http://www.transformers-legends.com">TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS</a>.

<description><![CDATA[Update - We initially reported that <span style="font-style: italic">Transformers Go!</span> would be a TV series airing in Japan in 2013, starting in July. <br />
We now have confirmation from the <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/TFYUKI/status/327273728763387906">TFYuki Twitter account</a> that this is not the case: Transformers Go! will be a straight to DVD series, supplement to the TV magazine.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold">Michael Bay's 'Transformers 4' sets up shop in Metro Detroit; Pontiac's Michigan Motion Picture Studios eager for workload</span><br />
<br />
DETROIT, MI - Michigan Motion Picture Studios in Pontiac is preparing up for another Hollywood closeup.<br />
The production venue that was home to the hit Sam Raimi-directed film "Oz the Great and Powerful" will also host crews for Michael Bay's "Transformers 4" this summer.<br />
<br />
Set building for "Transformers 4" - expected to get an official title soon - has already begun at the 535,000-square foot facility and has Michigan Motion Pictures Studios chief operating officer Tony Wenson excited.<br />
<br />
"They are in the process of pre-production right now," Wenson told MLive Detroit, when asked if Bay's film crew is in town. "They are filming in several other states, too. The majority of their shooting, I believe, will be done in the state of Michigan.<br />
<br />
"In addition to working on our stages, they’ll also be working throughout the state at different locations. We’re really excited that they’re here. We’re looking forward to the opportunity to service another film.”<br />
<br />
Wenson declined to say specifically when filming for "Transformers 4" will begin, but disclosed it will happen "early" this summer.

<description><![CDATA[Yes, you read that headline correctly. Paramount is using reality TV to cast people for the next film! This is the first time they've done something like this. <br />
<br />
The Hollywood Reporter article located <a target="_blank" href="http://movies.yahoo.com/news/transformers-4-paramount-launches-reality-tv-show-cast-050000438.html">here at Yahoo! Movies</a> states:<br />
<br />

<blockquote class="uncited">
<div>Co-produced by Paramount, China Movie Channel and Jiaflix Enterprises, Transformers 4 will be partly shot in China and is slated for an opening on June 27, 2014.<br />
The show is set to commence broadcast in China in June 2013, with a panel of judges comprising Sid Ganis, the former head of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences and the current chairman of Jiaflix; the film’s producer Lorenzo DiBonaventura and casting director Denise Chamian; Paramount’s marketing and distribution chief Megan Colligan.<br />
The film’s Chinese backers will be represented by Jia Qi, deputy director of the film’s Chinese co-producers China Movie Channel; and Liang Longfei, vice-president of m1905, the channel’s portal through which contestants (who need to be over 18) can register for the show.<br />
Producers said the four winning contestants will join “a number of talented Chinese actors and actresses” in Transformers 4. The third film in the franchise, Dark of the Moon, generated $165 million in China, and stands fourth in the country’s overall box-office rankings behind Avatar, Lost in Thailand and Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.

Transformers 4, which hasn't been given an official title, yet, will see release on June 27th. 2014. Until then hit up the movie forums and discuss what's coming with the rest of us!]]></description>

<div><cite>Michael Bay wrote:</cite>I just hired a great new actor for Transformers 4 to star against Mark Wahlberg. Jack Reynor, he is an Irish kid that came to America with 30 bucks in his pocket. Pretty ballsy. Seriously who does that? Anyway I spotted him in a great little Irish movie WHAT RICHARD DID. This kid is the real deal.<br />
<br />
Transformers 4, is not a reboot. That word has been floating around on the net.<br />
This movie takes place exactly 4 years after the war in Chicago. The story makes a very natural transition, and reason as to why we have a whole new cast. This Transformers will feel very different then the last three. We are embarking on a new trilogy.<br />
