Think you can improve on Optimus Prime? Then put your pencil where your vocal processor is!
USA TODAY wants you to design us a brand-new Transformer. Show us your idea in both pre- and post-transformation mode and tell us whether your creation is an Autobot or Decepticon and what it does. (For instance, check out Gannettron, an everyday USA TODAY newspaper box that morphs into a robot specializing in communications and news distribution via network satellite.)

Submissions are due June 18. You'll be able to view and vote for the finalists June 22, and the winner will be interviewed and have their design displayed in our June 26 print edition.

Technical specs: You can design your Tranformer on paper or digitally, but please send us the result in a single, high-quality (200-DPI) .jpg or .gif file. You must register for a free USA TODAY.com account in order to upload your design.

Seibertron.com has been informed that the upcoming Comic Con 2009 edition of GEEK Monthly will feature a special Transformers 25th Anniversary cover. Artist Dave Dorman, best known for his Star Wars paintings, created the first ever painted cover of GEEK Monthly. The artwork features Optimus Prime as known in the original Generation 1 introduction of the Transformers and as Michael Bay's live action heroic leader. Seibertron.com was given an advanced image of the cover, so here it is making its debut:



Mr. Dorman really captured the essence of the 25 years of Transformers with the original G1 Prime resembling the Marvel Comics character we first saw in 1984 to the sharp angled, pure colored CGI representation of the Prime of today's Transformersverse.

Special thanks to Jeff Bond, Editor-in-Chief of GEEK Monthly Magazine for allowing us to debut the cover and to Denise Dorman of Write Brain Media for informing us of the special edition cover. The magazine will be hitting newsstands this month.

Keep your optics locked, right here on Seibertron.com, you're two time Botcon award winning Best News Site.

Transformers Beat GI Joe In Battle for DoD Support

In an article posted on the United States Armed Forces based website, Stars And Stripes, the many aspects of the involvement of the US Armed Forces and the production of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen was a focal point.

It appears that ROTF was allowed to use more vehicles and equipment used by the US Armed Forces wear as GI Joe film makers were not allowed to, due to the discontinuation of the vehicles in question.

The disparity does not mean “Transformers” painted a more flattering portrayal of the U.S. military than does “G.I. Joe,” Strub said.

“The difference has less to do — in many respects — with us than the filmmakers,” he said. “I mean I think in the case of ‘G.I. Joe,’ looking back, I think we feel that the filmmakers belatedly realized that we could have provided more support.”

Michael Bay has posted on his forums that the new "Revenge of the Fallen" trailer will be released with X-men Origins: Wolverine. Michael & Steven Spielberg sat down for a screening of a rough cut of the new Transformer movie and Spielberg said, "It's Awesome" and felt it was better than the 1st movie. The new Wolverine movie is scheduled to hit theaters May 1st. Check out what Michael had to say below or click the link to see his original post at MichaelBay.com

http://www.shootfortheedit.com/forum/sh ... #post75561

Steven Spielberg sat next to me in a big 100 person theater at Sony today. There were 98 empty seats. The lights came up after we just watched my cut of Revenge of the Fallen. He turned to me and said
"It's awesome". He felt this movie was better then the first - and probably my best, who knows - at this point in a movie you start to lose your objectivity. I just hope the fans like it. I'm going to start putting it in front of audiences in a few weeks - no you are not invited, yet.

We have 60 days left. Let me tell you it will be a race to finish. It's 12 at night and we are still working here in the edit room. Everyone at ILM and DD are killing themselves right now, they are doing a stellar job on the effects. We also just finished our trailer which is coming out with Wolverine. Talk to you soon.

Michael
