During the era of Beast Wars and Beast Machines, Hasbro was flying solo in the toy design while Takara wasn't entirely interested in the franchise.
Hasbro's original concept for the successor to Beast Machines would have been the vehicular Transtech toyline, continuing in the Beast Machines design theory of futuristic styling.
This line was cancelled when Takara came back into the mix after the success of Beast Wars, and Transtech was never to be.
However, some toy designs have surfaced in later years, the latest of which is sketches of Transtech "Destroyer Tank" Megatron, as released to the public by Sems Fir of
Behindthetoys.com. An imaginative viewer could see some design ideas that may have partially inspired Armada's Megatron.
You can check the sketches of both Transtech Megatron's modes out
here.

Roberto Orci, one half of the current writing team for the Transformers Live Action movie to be released July 4th 2007, has had a few things to say on the
official board of
Don Murphy. The following are direct quotes from the
posts made by Roberto Orci.
"Hey Everyone,
We're still having a great time and learning a lot reading everything on this message board. Let us answer a couple of things:
1.) In regards to our interview discussing Transformers as a toy line, you should know we made that statement surrounded by cynical reporters. We meant that it would be easy for a screenwriter to come in and think, "I don't have to do a hell of a lot because it's just a toy line, and I can just make a giant commercial, with giant robots fighting, instead of having to come up with a good story." We were merely expressing our intention not to fall into the trap of thinking we could be lazy just because the toy line is so successful.
Alex and I were both fans when we were kids, we both saw the movie back in the day, although I'll admit the toys my parents gave me were GOBOTS and VOLTRON!
2.) On mass shifting: No matter where you fall in this debate, you should at least take heart in the fact that we have all been debating the issue as diligently and seriously as the supreme court weighing constitutional law. No matter how it turns out in the end, both sides will hopefully see that the decision was not taken lightly, and that our choices were not arbitrary and were made in service of a cool story. We are still reviewing arguments on both sides, and we may even have a solution that satisfies both sides. You will be the ultimate judges.
3.) We've chatted with Don about the voice casting, and you can rest assured we're still writing it with the original voices in mind.
4.) We were surprised by the reaction against Arcee. I myself never had a bias against her, figuring if the Autobots are all male, it would be logical that there would have to be a female. However, given the strong reactions we've read, the matter is again under "judicial review".
Thanks again for all the input. Don't worry about insulting us. We know it's all in the service of the finished product."
"In all of the genre work that Alex and I have done, we have tried to learn how to do humor that comes organically from the situation -- humor that is not merely for humor's sake, but that comes from being true to the characters.
The short answer is yes, but the humor, hopefully, will not "jump the shark" as they say".

A heads-up for those that have repairers in their teams: they don't do their jobs anymore.
It is believed that repairers were the reason behind the recent site slow down and subsequently the game going offline so that function has been removed until a suitable alternative can be found.
Whether that involes a re-introduction of the retreat function or another, different tactic to replace it we are not sure at this point.
But until we do the game is running and the site is not showing the lag it was before.
As always, we will try to keep you up to date with any developments, but be sure to check into the
Heavy Metal War Forum for updates or announcements that haven't been posted on this page yet.

Vector Prime has answered more questions on the
Transformers Homepage:
Q: How did Sideways come back? I thought he was destroyed for good by Armada Optimus Prime.
A: Sideways is a tricky villain, the dark powers of Unicron must have saved him to live again.
Q: Who created Primus and Unicron?
A: Primus and Unicron were created by the "Source" - an ancient and powerful force.
Q: Does Optimus Prime have a brother and what is his name?
A: No, Optimus does not have a brother. Different Transformers can have the last name Prime and not be related. The name Prime is used for Transformers with important jobs.
Q: Was Primus Cool?
A: Cool? As in cold to the touch?! Heaven's no! Primus is warm and full of life! Ha!
Q: What is the next Transformers series?
A: Even I cannot predict the future.
Q: Who else will combine with Optimus Prime?
A: Optimus meets one more valiant Autobot that will combine with him in a dire time of need. Keep watching the exciting adventures on Transformers Cybertron to find out who it is!
Q: Why was Megatron lost In Energon?
A: He was lost because of his ultimate quest for power. His desire to rule the universe blinded him to what was going on, and he became lost.
Q: Does Override have a cyber key power?
A: She does indeed. When she activates her Cyber Key, her jet thrusters open up to 2 massive gun barrels to help blast the Decepticons.
Q: How did Overhaul Turn into Leobreaker?
A: Overhaul was being pushed to his very limits in a battle on Jungle Planet, when he called out to Primus to aid him in his fight. Primus responded from across the galaxy and activated the Cyber Planet Key of Jungle Planet. Overhaul was reborn into Leobreaker due to his never-give-up attitude and his never ending quest to defeat Megatron and Scourge.
Q: Do you know EVAC?
A: I do. He is a brave and worthy Autobot that has protected the Earth Cyber Planet Key for millions and millions of years.
