Reveal Your Shield week has just launched with Hasbro offering us a video featuring Peter Cullen and Frank Welker and the voice changer helmets of their respective characters. You can watch the video below and respond to it on Facebook. While it was believed and assumed, it is great to get a confirmation that Frank Welker is indeed voicing Megatron in the Transformers The Last Knight as it will be the very first time Welker voices Megatron proper in the Movie Universe.

There will be more fun small events and reveals throughout the week in light of the toyline launching, like the official website launching as well. Seibertron will be reporting on all of it, so stay tuned!

#Transformers: The Last Knight’s Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron, have spoken: it’s Reveal Your Shield week, so it’s time to declare whether you’re Team Autobot or Team Decepticon. #AD

Oh good. I was really hoping Frank was voicing Megatron.

Cool. I haven't seen that Megatron mask. I guess the 'horn' bits use up the budget that would have done the back? Or is it much cheaper than Prime's? It's cool anyways. I was never sure about Welker voicing movie Megatron cos Hugo Weaving's voice was great and Welker's take on the character in the TF movie video games didn't seem to work as well but I liked Welker's voice as Galvatron in AoE so yeah let's hear some more.

The second day of Reveal Your Shield week - Hasbro Transformer's marketing promotion for the new The Last Knight movie and related toyline - features a stop motion clip using the Optimus Prime, Barricade, Grimlock, Megatron (and other) toys trying to enjoy one of the trailers. Check it out embedded below from the official Facebook page!

Nobody likes a noisy theatergoer – especially when it’s a Decepticon.

In Day 3 of Reveald Your Shield Week, Hasbro's promise of revealing a new Barricade figure is kept where they reveal Deluxe Barricade for the first time ever.
Yes, this is the very same figure already found in stores and that we have already seen for months now. But since this figure was absent from Toyfair with 0 stock images given by Hasbro proper to the media, this is their official reveal fo the figure (even if we saw him in yesterday's stop motion video).

Enjoy the video below of Isabella Moner showing us this "new" figure and remember to let Hasbro know who you allign with.

Heh, they misspelled her name in the caption.

"This Decepticon's awesome. I think I am too a Decepticon because they're just so cool and rebellious and and, and um... and really really, uh, scary and intimidating, which I'm not, so I aspire to be like this." -- You forgot "genocidal", "psychopathic", "remorseless", they're basically an army of willing mass-murderers, not something to aspire to. >:oP

(No, Deadput, this isn't a legit complaint. That emoticon means I'm just being a smart aleck. So don't bother getting worked up over this.)

Yeah I did find that a little strange. It's all fun and games when these characters and factions are fictional but would you align yourself with the 'Evil' Decepticons if they were real? Heck, would they even care? Probably just squish you.

If this was the best take they got of her "speech", I really wonder what the other takes were like.

I align myself with the Decepticons because I... uh... I totally believe in their...

Screw it, they just have the cooler designs most of the time.

I agree with that statement though... the Cons have never really been role models.

Like ever that's why their the bad guys usually.

I know how I can be and sometimes deserve it but why are you taking jabs at me before I say anything?

Well DOTM shows that the nicest they would treat you would be as tools, means to an end and a slave labor force.

As part of the Reveal Your Shield week at Transformers HQ, their Instagram account has posted a collage of a series of photos celebrating the Decepticon faction (presumably doing the same tomorrow for the Autobots), as notified to us by Twincaster xRotorstormx. Check it out below, along with a video from their Facebook page!

Surprised, and a little disappointed, that the clip didn't include the Decepticon Day Parade from "Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2".

On day 4 of the Transformers: The Last Knight Reveal Your Shield promotional campaign, we have second cast member Laura Haddock (Vivian Wembley in the movie) declaring her allegiance to the Autobot faction, and showing off.. Turbo Changer Armor Knight Optimus Prime! Check it out below.

#Transformers: The Last Knight actress Laura Haddock got a sneak peek last week of the new Optimus Prime figure…and revealed if she’s an Autobot or a Decepticon. Are you on her side?

Really going all out on these reveals!

Although i get it now, they are advertising the toys that are out in stores now for people to buy. Thats fine but in that case I think it would have been better to just release these videos just like that and not advertise it (to TF news sites) as a reveal week for fans.

It's for everyone. It's "it's available now go get it" Which is better than introducing something to the general audience and not coming out for a few months.

Sure, thats what it looks like now, but thats not what they wrote in the PR letter, nor what they said at toyfair (where they had also shown some of these toys). So like I said, my beef isnt with these videos, its with the hype they gave him. They actually contacted us, Seibertron, to let us know of this. What is the point of telling TF sites there will be a week of reveals if it wasnt intended to be for the audience of specialized tf sites.

Because PR is general. We're just on the mailing list.

The more hooks you put in the water, the more fish you're likely to catch.
And I doubt Hasbro's marketing department keeps track of what we (seibertron) know and don't know, but they do know we are a valuable and free marketing tool.

On the fifth day of the Reveal Your Shield promo campaign from Hasbro Transformers, we have two new clips from the official Facebook page, asking fans to once again get involved on social media by declaring what makes them 'More Than Meets the Eye'... and to encourage people to share, the whole Hasbro Brand team - including Mark Weber and Ben Montano - got involved too! Check them out below.

Whether you pledged allegiance this week to #TeamAutobot or #TeamDecepticon, we’re all More Than Meets The Eye. Show us how you’re More Than Meets The Eye!
