Back in November we reported that Sota Toys would be producing a Transformers Chess set based on G1. The in February we reported there would be a Transformers Monopoly game. Now we have received an email from Tigerhawk informing us of two new board games based on the Transformers Movie listed on Barnes and Noble's website. The first is a listing for another chess set based on the Transformers Movie. You can view the listing here. Here are some images of the set:









The second game listing is for a Risk board games based on the Transformers Movie. Check out the listing for the game here. Here is an image of the game:

2 Things...
1)Ironhide and Starscream are the QUEENS.lol...

2)Brawl is missing from here too...

I am starting to think Brawl is a sector 7 cronie and then turns on them and joins the Decepticons. I remember hearing something about someone being a traitor in the script or something.

The pieces in the chess set are nice, however the board leaves a lot to be desired.

I quite like the look of the chess set myself. Not that I play chess much. Or at all. :P
Re: First Look at Transformers Movie Chess and Risk Games (77277)
Posted by Ultra Markus on April 7th, 2007 @ 4:19pm CDT
that looks to be of better quality than the G1 chess set they showed us. I think it looks good.

The chess set is nothing like I was expecting. I was thinking more along the lines of what the LOTR chess set looked like, with the nic wooden case to keep all the figures in. This thing looks like it'll be on the clearance aisle at Wal-Mart in no time for like $6.

I like these. I may have to get several chess sets sp I can put those Decepticon Logos all over my apartment
Re: First Look at Transformers Movie Chess and Risk Games (77318)
Posted by Kayevcee on April 7th, 2007 @ 5:15pm CDT
I have to admit I was expecting the chess set to be nostalgia market/Floro Dery animation model-based rather than movie-based. Oh well. I wasn't going to buy it anyway. The Monopoly, however, shall be mine. Oh yes.

Re: First Look at Transformers Movie Chess and Risk Games (77760)
Posted by Mr.RobotoAutoMan on April 8th, 2007 @ 1:03am CDT
iam guessing they are going to make a CLUE:TF movie version. it starts out with "WHO TOOK OPTIMUS PRIME GOODYEAR TIRE?" ONLY YOU CAN SOLVE THE MYSTERY!!!
Re: First Look at Transformers Movie Chess and Risk Games (77841)
Posted by NightFall on April 8th, 2007 @ 2:36am CDT
Nice looking chess set, but I don't want anything else with the movie version. There was on G1 looking one, but it wasn't as nice, so I didn't get that either.
Re: First Look at Transformers Movie Chess and Risk Games (77970)
Posted by Grimshock on April 8th, 2007 @ 9:09am CDT
Put my vote on the "Movie Version? Pass." ballot too. I thought there were supposed to be G1 sets. What happened? Those still coming?
Re: First Look at Transformers Movie Chess and Risk Games (78624)
Posted by JazZeke on April 8th, 2007 @ 11:43pm CDT
Oooh, I'll get the Risk. But I already have plenty of chess sets so I won't waste my money on another one.
Re: First Look at Transformers Movie Chess and Risk Games (79110)
Posted by Decepticon Spike on April 9th, 2007 @ 1:28pm CDT
I don't need another game of Risk laying around. I think I'll pass on this.
Though Monopoly is a must.
Re: First Look at Transformers Movie Chess and Risk Games (79153)
Posted by Talous on April 9th, 2007 @ 2:30pm CDT
Would be nice but I don't really need another board game I don't get a chance to play.
Re: First Look at Transformers Movie Chess and Risk Games (79916)
Posted by Gaijin on April 10th, 2007 @ 9:44am CDT
I want these- at least, the chess version. Anyone know where I can find the TF Monopoly? Or, is it out yet?
Re: First Look at Transformers Movie Chess and Risk Games (79977)
Posted by Anonymous on April 10th, 2007 @ 10:23am CDT
I get the entire chess thing but what are they going to do with risk?tThere really isn't any continents to my knowledge and two races.Anyway regular risk is alot better because you can play as your faviorite country.
Re: First Look at Transformers Movie Chess and Risk Games (80321)
Posted by Starscreams bad comedy on April 10th, 2007 @ 5:37pm CDT
So I guess this means that the Monopoly set will be based on the movie then?

:?

What chess technigue would you recommend for someone who likes using their Knights and Bishops? What type of playing style would you recommend for me to use where the bishops and knights are used offensive?
Chess players please help me
