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!

This is unrelated to Cyberverse.

Not quite, or rather other way around: Cyberverse took its main design cues from the Evergreen designs didn't it?

My point was that those responsible for making the brand's evergreen character designs and those responsible for making the Cyberverse cartoon are not the same party.

This one really comes out of nowhere and is something I have never seen before. You know claw machines, the ones where you have a insert some coins for your chance to grab a plushie or toy using a claw (aka, the CLAW), well the ones I have always seen usually have random prizes inside, it's never thematic. However, a fan found a Transformers themed claw machine in Victoria Gardens shopping centre in Richmond, Australia. It uses Emiliano Santalucia's Evergreen Transformers designs both in the artwork and in the plushies up for grabs. These plushies have never been shown, found or revealed elsewhere. They include Bumblebee, Megatron and Optimus in both their modes. The fan who found this is JoemasterII who posted it on the TFW2005 message boards. You can see the pic they posted below:

They're just plush toys. I loathe the day "Evergreen" got into this fandom's vernacular.

Its part of Hasbro's too, they use it in interviews.

Fans love Emiliano Santalucia's Transformers designs which Hasbro dubbed Evergreen. As the name suggests, these are the standard designs we will constantly see for our favourite Autobots and Decepitons on many licensed. I wanted to share one such product now since to date it features the greatest amount of said designs. This activity book, found in Canada, contains physical stickers of these designs, like the previously seen Ratchet and Hound images.

There are also cutouts to make small standees along with colouring pages showing these designs in the best detail yet. The rest of the book contains various activities. Enjoy the photos and designs!

My god, it took me a good 15 minutes to figure out which of those Prime heads was different. That’s cruelly subtle.

Me too. I doesn't help that the heads are so detailed

It's a cool coloring book though, looks fun

Oh man, its crazy hard ( especially for a kid's book!!!) But there is indeed a difference and its not just a missing line.

I got the answer! I know it's tricky, but no need to tilt your head sideways. ;;)

For the sake of new-pageness:

Solution:
It's D: the vents on the sides of the helmet are vertical instead of horizontal
