Kabam studios has announced the newest member of their Forged to Fight crew is ready to join the battle: Megatronus! This version of Megatron is based on his Machinima Power of the Primes body, and features a new never-before-seen Jet mode. Check out the intel report below.
BOT INTEL REPORT – MEGATRONUS
Add Megatronus to your ultimate squad in October 4th at 10AM PDT! ABOUT MEGATRONUS:
Faction: Decepticon
Class: Demolitions
One of the Thirteen Primes created by Primus himself to defeat Unicron, Megatronus is a being of unparalleled strength. His quest for greater power led him to betray his fellow Primes, resulting in a millennia of banishment. That banishment has ended, and his presence again looms large through the cosmos.

Relic of Fury
The Relic of Fury grants 30~50% Attack Rating and reduces the opponent’s Block Proficiency by 20%.
Relic of Preservation
The Relic of Preservation grants 40~50% Damage Resistance and limits the amount of damage Megatronus can receive in a single blow to 20% of his max Health.
Relic of Immortality
Once per fight, when Megatronus hits 10% health he activates the Matrix of Immortality in addition to his other Relics for 10 seconds. While the Relic is active Megatronus is Indestructible and immune to all damage. This ability will not activate if Megatronus begins the fight with 10% Health or less.
Last Hit of a Light or Medium Combo
+40% Critical Chance.
Heavy Attack
100% chance to apply Dark Burn, dealing 40% of Attack as instant Energy Damage.
SIGNATURE ABILITY – RELIC OF OBEDIENCE

When Filling a Power Bar
When Megatronus gains a Bar of Power, he has a 15~65% chance to activate the Relic of Obedience, preventing opponents from activating Buffs or Debuffs for 8 seconds. Additionally, when the Relic is not active, Buffs and Debuffs the opponent activates are 20% weaker.

SYNERGY BONUSES:
Mutual – Allies – Cyclonus, Galvatron

+2~8% Attack
Outgoing – The Fallen – Megatron, Megatron (RotF)
All Decepticons on your team gain +2~5% Armor while fighting Decepticons and +5~20% Power Rate while fighting Autobots.
STRONG MATCH-UPS:
Everyone – There is no bot that Megatronus cannot overpower.
Megatron – Megatron will find his namesake needs no buffs to be formidable.
Optimus Prime – If Optimus is relying on help from his Chief Medical Officer, the Relic of Obedience will put a stop to that notion.
WEAK MATCH-UPS:
No One – No one stands as a serious challenger to him that is the embodiment of power.
Rhinox – Rhinox’s Power Lock will keep this mighty Decepticon from switching modes.
Shockwave – Repair Block and Power Drain will help keep this Prime from tapping into his true power.
RECOMMENDED MODULES FOR MEGATRONUS:
Robot Resource – One cannot even fathom the carnage Megatronus could inflict with a second source of power.
Prime Module – The Prime Module will help this mad god stay in the fight longer and increase his stats to match any higher level contender.

As you will have seen in our previous stories such as this one, the McDonald's Happy Meal free toy gifts under the Transformers brand are definitely not about Cyberverse but the upcoming Bumblebee Movie - as the latest promo video from the company confirms.
The clip, embedded below, shows the new designed VW Bumblebee partaking of the meal with a bunch of kids, as well as the interaction with smart devices for the game based on the minifigures. Check it out, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub discussion boards!
In other Transformers Bumblebee Movie news, we have another look at the Movie Masterpiece MPM-7 Volkswagen Bumblebee toy from the upcoming movie and the toyline resulting from the collaboration of both Transformers toymakers Hasbro and Takara Tomy. This time, we have a stop motion animation clip of the figure in both modes, as shared by the official Hasbro Transformers Singapore Facebook page - though there is no full credit as yet, and different sources are claiming that this is either fan commissioned or made by director Travis Knight's Laika studios.
In either case, you can check it out below, and let us know what you think!
Coming soon in October - Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee - VW Version (MPM-7)!
Vehicle mode features Bumblebee’s accurate, officially licensed vehicle from the new TRANSFORMERS: BUMBLEBEE™ film: 1967 Volkswagen Beetle (with exclusive, weathered deco).
After the initial announcement of two new characters from Space Ape's Transformers: Earth Wars story mastermind Simon Furman, which we reported on back here, we now have the full press release about Sentius Magnus and Sentius Malus - the Sentius Twins - being available and playable in the game! Check out the trailer again, and the full release, below.
Two New Transformers Characters Debut and are Now Available to Play in TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WAR
SENTIUS MAGNUS and SENTIUS MALUS Introduce Order and Chaos to Earth Wars Saga
September 14, 2018 -- LONDON -- Today, a brand new update comes to real-time combat strategy mobile game TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS, serving as the worldwide introduction of the SENTIUS TWINS, SENTIUS MAGNUS and SENTIUS MALUS. Fans can check out the new characters, which are now part of the Transformers universe, by downloading the award-winning mobile game from Backflip Studios and Space Ape Games on the App Store and Google Play.
In the early days of Cybertron, the home world of the Transformers bots, SENTIUS NOBILIUS served as an honorable guardian of the relics of the PRIMES, the gods of the Transformers universe. To do this task he was given a sword of legendary power, the SWORD OF BALANCE, a blade with the power of creation and destruction. He was betrayed by one of the PRIMES, who, using his own sword against him, split his spark in two. This destroyed SENTIUS NOBILIUS, but created two new sibling warriors: SENTIUS MAGNUS, the guardian of light, and SENTIUS MALUS, the guardian of darkness. Each of these bots now carries one half of the sword, which was split. SENTIUS MAGNUS now fights for the Autobots, and SENTIUS MALUS for the Decepticons. To learn more about the history of these two new characters, and the role they play in TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS, fans can watch the making of video here and an introduction from writer Simon Furman here.
TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS is a real-time combat strategy game that surpassed 10 million downloads within its first year. The game pairs authentic Transformers storytelling with fast-paced gameplay, beautiful 3D animation and hundreds of iconic characters with diverse strengths and abilities. Players can download TRANSFORMERS: EARTH WARS for free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and on Google Play for Android devices. For more information, visit www.TransformersEarthWars.com.

You'll probably remember this story we posted just last June about a commercial made for Chile based soda company Bily Y Maik, in which the two characters met the Transformers, who were sporting the 'evergreen' designs.
The same company has now posted a video breaking down the animation process used in the commercial, which you can watch on Vimeo or embedded below in our news story. Take a look, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub discussion boards!
The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast returns with our 207th consecutive episode of Transformers talk, with host Scotty P and Megatronus facing down all the latest and greatest without the help of the others. Where has the cast disappeared? Through the Fargate, into the mysterious and dangerous expanse of space, where they must go and read the newest Transformers comics which take up the majority of this episode.
Episode #207 "Through The Fargate" is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
Here's what we talk about during this episode:
The show starts out with a look at the latest cartoon series which has just premiered in much of the world, Transformers: Cyberverse. Our discussion covers the first two episodes of the show.
Comics talk begins, and for listeners that aren't caught up on the latest, look out for 18:03 to 1:35:13 in the audio file. We start out with thoughts and analysis of Lost Light #23.
Unicron #4 comes next, with an almost page-by-page dive into the contents.
Comics discussion concludes with briefer thoughts about Optimus Prime #23.
New Studio Series toys were revealed at Fan Expo 2018 in Canada, and we take a look at the most - and least - exciting of these upcoming new toys.
Bragging Rights takes us to the end of another episode, with SDCC restocks and birthday gifts rounding out the proceedings.
We'll be back in a couple weeks with more fun Transformers talk! If you liked the episode, please share a link on your social media page, or let us know in the discussion thread here on the boards. We really appreciate hearing from you!
