Adding to the press release we posted earlier, about Victory Hill and Hasbro teaming up in Las Vegas, the New York Times has a little more detail on what the Cybertron Con collaboration actually holds for the Transformers. Read up below, and start packing your bags - Vegas is calling!

LAS VEGAS — Batman has his bat cave. Superman has his fortress of solitude. And soon the Avengers and a team of Transformers will call a corner on the Las Vegas Strip home.

Treasure Island casino-hotel has leased 28,000 square feet above a CVS drugstore to Victory Hill Exhibitions to create immersive displays dedicated to the pop-culture brands.

The 10-year lease includes $2 million in tenant improvements to the corner space on Las Vegas Boulevard and Spring Mountain Road.

Victory Hill ended its 18-month run at the Discovery Times Square space in New York where it offered its Marvel's Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. exhibit. The Transformers exhibit is exclusive to Las Vegas and is still in development.

The exhibit is expected to open by March or April. Company officials haven't decided on an admission price.

We have some further news on the Transformers Autobots Alliance Experience from Hasbro and Victory Hill, on which we have reported in the past (see here), courtesy of Flickering Myth and the YouTube channel YOUR SHORTNESS.

Check out below some clips from behind the scenes!



Composer Ram Khatabakhsh has just wrapped the score for the new Transformers Autobots Alliance Experience set to be revealed in China later this year, in advance of its Asian and U.S tour.

Ram, who originally hails from Great Britain, scored the music for the new revolutionary exhibit at his Burbank studios in California, ahead of conducting a live 60-piece orchestra, to give audiences the full cinematic and high definition sound as they immerse themselves into the world of the Autobots, and their ongoing battle to protect Earth against the evil Decepticons.

So Optimus, Fort Max, Windblade and Alpha Trion appear like their toys. It makes me wonder if the Ironhide and Bumblebee are based off upcoming figures? If they're not, it makes me wonder what they're based off of?
