You know what I would like? A completely new combiner (or a few), we got the classics yes and we still need a couple more (though only seacons left for the traditional scramble city style) but I want brand new characters, brand new getsalts. Can't keep living off the coatails of G1 forever

Victorion and Megatronia say "Hi."

Admittedly I'd forgotten megatronia, but my point still stands, I mean I want these as part of a line available at general retail in this part of the world...Megatronia certainly wasn't in the UK neither was victorion now that I think about it... But deadput got the giest of what I was saying

I’d love to see some new takes on combiners in general. Get creative with the combination methods especially if they’re leaning parts forming with some weaponizers. Something like the O.G. Megazord comes to mind; not that they had robot modes.... but still

Or like animated Jetstorm/Jetfire.... they split down the middle right?

I'm also thinking of how Road Caesar is only made of 3 bots. I always thought he was cool.

Indeed they do, something I always put down as a fun tribute to symmetrical docking from the brave franchise...see King Of Braves GaoGaiGar's Choryujin.

Yesterday was fun, wasn't it Seibertronians? All that intrigue and deciphering of hidden messages. Well, fellow code-crackers, I have good news! Thanks to a friend of the Bossbot, we have images of the second War For Cybertron: Siege poster with the hidden message revealed via a blacklight!

That's right, it seems that all of the posters handed out by Hasbro during San Diego Comic Con have hidden messages on them, just waiting to be found and read by fans. It is believed there were four different posters handed out but we've only received images of the first two so far. This poster, featuring Optimus Prime all on his lonesome, carries a hidden message in Cybertronian just like the full-cast poster of yesterday's news.

When translated, it reveals another short message, which seems as if it may be intended to come before the other one found previously. Together, the two short sentences form a somewhat more dramatic statement (though its meaning seems no more clear).

Check out the images below, and get cracking! Sadly this message is not as tough to decrypt as the last one, but should still be fun - I await your puzzling on the Energon Pub Forums, though be careful not to post too much information (even inside spoiler tags!) for the first while, so as not to spoil the fun for others. And if you happen to possess one of the other Hasbro SDCC posters, please reach out to us - we'd really appreciate it!

Best of luck to all, and don't forget to stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news, both normal and novel!

Now where did I put that cybertronian to English key...so I'm guessing no other encryption attempt other than a change of language?

[Qwan]

Following Va'al's example from yesterday I'll post the solution in spoiler tags once the comments extend past the article's page. That goes for everyone - no solutions, even in spoiler tags, until a staff member (it might not be me since it's 12:30am here right now) indicates that it's okay to do so~

so I'm guessing no other encryption attempt other than a change of language?

Sadly not this time. I get the feeling we were "meant" to find and translate this one first - it's simpler, and it seems most sensible placed in front of the other message. Ah, but so the cookie crumbles I suppose.

Both of these would be great. Animated Safeguard is a figure I have been keeping my eye on to eventually get, since we never get that type of combiner. And Road Caesar is a figure I have been asking for along with Star Saber.

Where are all the posts about the code? You're awake right now aren't you, Americans? Don't tell me you're not enticed by this incredible mystery. You weaklings.

There's a cookie in it if I solve it?!

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Translated it! That was actually a lot of fun to do, looking forwards to the rest of these

You know what, sure. You solve this ((and also pay for shipping)), and I will purchase and mail you a cookie. Don't try to call my bluff, I will do it.

(I'm sure it'll be nice and crumbled by the time it arrives, too! Bonus!)

Booo. I usually just have to click somewhere to accept cookies.

You're not paying for the cookie, Va'al. You're paying for the experience.

Cookies, Donuts, Cookie Cats. Know the difference, it could save your life.

They're fun, aren't they? I can't wait for the next one either! (Please let one of them be encrypted with a Vigenere cipher, I love Vigeneres. )

((WE'RE SO CLOSE GUYS, JUST A COUPLE MORE POSTS.))

((WE'RE SO CLOSE GUYS, JUST A COUPLE MORE POSTS.))

Beware the tricky front page balance! Worth probably posting the first image, with the tracing, soon though!

[Deadput]

POST FILLLER!!!

Anyways in all seriousness, this whole secret message thing has me excited since it reminds me of similar hidden stuff in Destiny (The game from Bungie) with things like the Black Spindle (Or whisper of the worm for something much more recent) and Outbreak Prime (That would be a sweet name for a Transformer).

[Scottywan82]

Omg, are we just adding posts so someone can share the solution? How many more do we need?

[Qwan]

Well, since I can't actually spoiler images anyway (AFAIK), let's do it this way:

Here's a link to the blacklighted image, with the letters traced (mostly) accurately! This is the easiest way I can think of to share it, without just making it show up on the boards directly

Full solution hopefully coming soon, for all you lazies...

I'll be honest, Gravity Falls is a big reason why I enjoy these sorts of things so much. I doubt Hasbro will ever run anything as grand as the Cipher Hunt (though with their resources I'm totally sure they could!) but if they ever do, you can bet I'll be all over that.

[Scottywan82]

Okay, yes. That would be too cool not to participate.

Can you imagine how much hype it would generate? Even if it only stayed confined to the fandom and didn't reach beyond it, I have to think they'd get some great ongoing publicity while people worked to solve it. Plus it would be so much fun!!

It seems ZeroWolf's "joke" theory gains more and more credence with each passing moment...

What I might be right about something? No wonder the weather has been causing problems...me being right is a sign of the apocalypse
