I'll honestly admit it. I did not expect 2010 to be that strong of a year compared to 2009. Well I was completely wrong there. After living and breathing the Transformers lifestyle for the past 12 months, it feels like Transformers has gained a new level of popularity, and another level of excellence. 2011 brings mystique and new horizons. Yet if it's anything like 2010, then we are certainly in for one heck of a ride.

Can you believe it? We're about to enter the 27th year of the Transformers franchise! While franchises have become defunct, or have fallen off the face of the Earth, we have stood strong together. Certainly it hasn't always been pretty, take the transition from Generation One to Beast Wars, or the split-opinion on Michael Bay's Live-Action films as examples. However as a long-time fan and member of this site, as long as Transformers continues to be what it is - the heroic Optimus Prime fighting against all odds, or that joy you get when you open up toy packaging - then every year will be a great one.

Before we embark into 2011, I think it's suitable that we celebrate 2010. With that notion, I have the help of eight of my fellow staff members - Burn, Counterpunch, Dead Metal, Delicon, DevastaTTor, Diem, Mach, and Razorclaw0000. Before you get to know their Transformers tastes, let's get to know a little bit more about the people who help maintain Seibertron.com and assist this wonderful community!

• I'm Blurrz, from the land they call Canada. Armada crazed, and you don't need to guess who my favorite Transformer is.
• Burn is here to give us his "disgruntled" "I-like-my-TF's-as-bricks" opinion. We're not actually sure what he does on the staff though!
• Counterpunch has a knack of making other people buy Transformers. He also keeps the forums safe with burning justice, or was that Punch?
• Dead Metal is crazy, from Germany, and he helps out the news crew while most of us are fast asleep. Did I mention he's crazy?
• Delicon is a humble Transformers fan from the Northeast United States. He keeps the news up and running.
• DevastaTTor has this addiction to collect transforming plastic toys. You might have heard of it.
• Diem spent most of the year in Takara territory, and made his way back to the US later on. He got married this year, so congratulations!
• Mach keeps the news looking mighty fine from Singapore. He's an Optimus Prime fanatic, he probably has more blue and red trucks than you!
• Razorclaw0000 is a big contributer on the News Crew, and still has the time to maintain one of the most comprehensive Mini-con collections in the world!

Now that you know a little more about the staff, here's how we're going to reflect on 2010. We're each picking our favorite candidate for the following categories listed below. Once you're done reading our input, we'd like to see yours by replying in the forums through the 'Discuss This Topic' link above.

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon will be hyped up by IDW in the movie prequel, Transformers: Rising Storm. The first issue's cover featured an outline of a new Decepticon that would be making an appearance in the film. Now the second issue features a battle between a fan-favorite Autobot and his long time nemesis. We never got to see the cover from the March 2011 Solicitations, but thanks to Archonia we finally do. Take a look at the cover and the description below!

Peter David, writer of the upcoming Transformers: Dark of the Moon novel has updated his blog confirming that he has finished writing the novel. He mentions that he was rather pleased with the piece, and expects it to see release a few weeks prior to the movie's release next year.

To view his blog click here.

Seriously, the novelization actually turned out pretty well, I thought. I’m always kind of amazed when a novelization reads smoothly, because while I’m in the middle of it, it always feels like it’s patchwork as I integrate my own scenes and dialogue with what’s in the script...

Thanks to many comic resource sites the incentive cover to Transformers: Foundation #1 has been circulating around the internet. Transformers: Foundation is the prequel comic book series to the upcoming movie Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The cover is said to be limited to just 10 copies so it's going to be hard getting one. As you can see the cover features Optimus Prime in his Protoform body, deco'd in Optimus Prime's blue and red instead of the usual blueish gray the design usually utilises.

In a recent post over at ShootForTheEdit.com, there was much discussion of Bay's involvement in the filming of the teaser trailer. Nelson responds by saying, "He said initially he didn't have anything to do with it and then later became totally involved. Who do you think shot those NASA, astronauts walking on the moon, and Ark scenes?" That's right, Seibertronians, he said the Ark! Is the confirmation that the downed spacecraft from the teaser is, in fact, in the Ark? To read more and decide for yourself, check out the original thread HERE

Peter David has updated his blog stating that he has been hired to write the novelization for Transformers Dark of the Moon.

I’ve been hired by Del Rey to produce the novelization for “Transformers 3,” which is listed on IMDB as “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.” I can’t provide any plot details about it since I’ve signed enough non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements to join the NSA, so don’t bother asking. But that’s what I’m working on at the moment.
