Foiled again by my old age again!

It would be cool to see a younger member of Seibertron win something though!

yar, no one over the age of 15 is eligible. what a drag

How fortunate that I have 2 kids that fall within the age parameters. Also fortunate that if there should be any restrictions on number of entries per household, they can enter from either their place or at mine.

Only downside is that I have no interest whatsoever in seeing this movie in 3D and 95 percent of what I've seen from the toy-line is stuff I find to be absolutely hideous. My oldest son has no interest in the toys and my youngest is lukewarm at best.
I finally have a contest that the I can get the family into and none of us would really even care to enter it. Go figure!

Sweeps? Terminate him!

YES MY TIME TO SHINE I WNAT THIS I JUST MADE THE AGE CUT ME FTW this is too many emoticons isnt it?

As Hasbro's "16 Weeks of Cyber Sweeps" enters it's third week, the official website has been updated with a new promo video. For further details and to enter the "16 Weeks of Cyber Sweeps" click here!

• More Than Meets the Eye Challenge - 06/02

The promo is embedded below.

or have we seen it before?

It's a new sword the old one looked like primes swords this one looks like a lightsaber

The Official Website for Hasbro's "16 Weeks of Cyber Sweeps" has launched it's first online game, "WordChase". Basically a timed Transformer themed word search. Three more games are scheduled to launch over the coming months:

• Build A Bot - 04/26
• Puzzle Former - 05/19
• More Than Meets the Eye Challenge - 06/02

Do you win anything for beating the game!?

I doubt it, unless you count the satisfaction of victory.

Meh. There are only 4, 5 levels and they are the same. Would be better if each level was randomized in words and locations, and a heck of a lot more levels to play. This is good for kids, which is there focus I believe, but adults like these things too. I would want them to impliment some puzzles that are more challenging for us older people.

The Official Transformers DOTM 16 Weeks of Cyber Sweeps website has been updated with a new interactive “Build A Bot” feature based on Hasbro’s upcoming Kre-O building block line.
