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:

[Wheeljack35]

I may get Risk but not the chess set

Oh yeah I will be picking up Monopoly too

[ShockwaveUK]

Movie versions? Pass.

Ditto.

[UFO]

Oh Joy...Another expensive chess set...

[flashmech]

I'm definitely getting the Risk and Monopoly games.

[Blitzwing the warrior]

Thats pretty cool, the faction emblems are pawns

[Uncrazzimatic]

As others ahve said I'll get the risk & monopoly, but not the chess set.

[Optimus_julio]

CHESS G1 veersion will be one million times better !!!!

[NightScream]

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.

CHESS G1 veersion will be one million times better !!!!

And 12 times more expensive.

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

[City Commander]

I quite like the look of the chess set myself. Not that I play chess much. Or at all.

[Ultra Markus]

that looks to be of better quality than the G1 chess set they showed us. I think it looks good.

[Nemesis_Apoc]

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.

[First-Aid]

Definite buys for me...big board game fan myself. Love the chess pieces

[Scaleface]

FOrget this.

[Liege Evilmus]

I like these. I may have to get several chess sets sp I can put those Decepticon Logos all over my apartment

[Kayevcee]

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.

[Megatron Wolf]

[dragons]

[Collector Maximus]
