MTV.com- In an article written on the MTV Multiplayer blog, the Playstation Portable game philosophy is lightly debated and the success of the TRANSFORMERS game franchise is mentioned.
-Round 1-
Port of console games for handhelds Vs. Big franchises with new unique experiences
To read the short blog you can click
here. Some highlights are shared below.
'When I recently spoke with John Koller, head of hardware marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America, he specifically cited “Transformers” and “Iron Man” as proof that a new PSP development model, one anchored on franchises, was working.
But there’s a problem…
Those games are only half of the “winning” equation he’s talking about. “Transformers” and “Iron Man” are ports of console games. “Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core,” however, is something wholly unique but rooted in a giant franchise. So, can franchise alone carry a game? If it’s big enough, Sony argues.
The NPD Group told MTV Multiplayer that the PSP version of “Transformers” sold 442,000 copies, while “Iron Man” pushed 242,000 copies. In Sony’s eyes, those are both extremely successful PSP games…even if they use a “failed model.”'
'Koller has told me several times to expect big franchise games to be announced 2009. Those should start being announced soon. But will the inevitable “Transformers 2? and “Iron Man 2? follow the same formula?'
So it would appear the questions we TRANSFORMERS fans should be asking SONY are:
-Should we expect unique games based on the very big TRANSFORMERS franchise for the PSP (perhaps similar to the Transformers Animated game for the Nintendo DS)?
-Or can we only expect ports of existing console games for the TRANSFORMERS franchise, like the movie game?
What say you Sony? Which will it be? I am sure you can imagine which one the game playing TRANSFORMERS fan would like.

Thanks to Seibertron members Richter and Darth Bombshell, who have alerted us to the fact that
IDW Publishing's Chris Ryall posted the releases for December 10th, and not December 4th on his blog
RyallTime, meaning our
previous report had incorrect information. Chris has now updated his blog with the correct releases.
This week's releases will actually be:
- Transformers Animated: The Arrival #5
- Best of the UK Time Wars #5
Both issues wrap up their respective series.
And next week, the 10th of December will see the release of:
- Maximum Dinobots #1
- More than Meets the Eye #2 Trade Paperback.

TF Nation has posted some new images of a G1 based Advent Calendar that is available in New Zealand for the 2008 year. This calendar appears to be a promotional item for the Transformers live action movie, even though the characters portrayed are all from the "G1 Era" and came with chocolates.
The calendar also comes with cut out images of Transformers that can be rearranged to make a new battle scenes. Check out all the pics of this thing by clicking

kurdt_the_goat has sent us some new images of a prototype of TakaraTOMY's
Alternity Megatron in alt mode and robot mode. These are the first actual images that we have seen of the toy. Previously, all that we have seen is the silhouette of what he would look like.
Alternity Megatron is due out in the first quarter of next year (March), and his partner Alternity Convoy is due out in January.
The Alternity line is similar to the previous TakaraTOMY Binaltech line, with real licensed vehicle alt modes, detailed robot modes, and die cast metal. These are, however, much smaller in scale than Binaltech were. These are about the size of a deluxe toy.

The Universe of the Transformers is vast, and populated by many characters. Their universe is a large tapestry, made up of the stories and points of view of countless experiences that serve the larger whole.
These are some of those stories. This is:
It should be noted that while this project has been recognized by IDW Publishing and Hasbro, none of the works presented have been commissioned or solicited by either company. The stories are not official canon, except where noted. These stories are the result of Transformers enthusiasts taking the time out of their busy days to contribute to a universe they love. No one has been paid for the production of these stories.

Thanks to
RyallTime, the blog of
IDW Publishing's Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall, who has updated the Transformers Comics to be released this coming Thursday the 4th of December 2008. A day later than usual.
This week sees the beginning of a new series, and the release on a reprinted trade:
- Maximum Dinobots #1
- More than Meets the Eye TPB #2
Maximum Dinobots is penned by long time Transformers Scribe Simon Furman, and follows the events that occurred throughout the Devastation, Revelation and Spotlight Grimlock Comics. Nick Roche (Spotlight Kup) is on internal art duties.
More than Meets the Eye #2 collects the second half of the Generation 1 Character Profiles that was first published by DW.
The releases for next week, the 10th of December remain sketchy at best, as IDW's Transformers Editor Denton Tipton's blog
From the Tip has the 10th of December releases the same as this weeks releases.
However, it might be that he has mixed up the two weeks releases, meaning that next week we may see:
- Transformers Animated: The Arrival #5
and
- Best of UK: Time Wars #5
released instead.
Stay tuned to
Seibertron.com for more information when it comes to hand.

We're happy to bring you two new kinds of repro labels, each by overwhelming demand!
1) Legends! These great mini versions of your favourite G1 characters came to you with very little detail. Now you can fix that! We're starting things off with seven great sets to enhance them:
http://www.reprolabels.com/Legends/
2) With all the Classics and Henkei jets we're seeing, this has been long overdue. We now have sets to add all the chrome detail and wing stickers you could ever want. The first set represents all the chrome detail from the G1 jets. The next set is a recolored version. Then there are five sets of wing stickers. These sets are perfect for kitbashers!

It is that time again folks.
We were very successful last time, asking some great questions.
So what questions are on the forefront of your thoughts?
*There are some rules to submitting the questions:
1.) Straightforward.
2.) No multi-part questions.
3.) Not all questions will get answered or even officially asked.
4.) Appropriate and important, timely to the brand.
5.) Do not turn this into a criticism of each other's questions or HASBRO, in general. However, if information is already known--and you know it has been answered and have a source-- that would be an acceptable response so as not to have wasted questions.
We may not submit more than 5 questions, and they should have priority rankings (staff will choose and prioritize).
First round of questions will be submitted by a staff member on December 1st.
This is an awesome opportunity to ask questions that you have wanted answered. This privilege also speaks highly of our community and the important ideas we share daily.
A few days after the date of submission, you will be informed of the questions chosen, and then when/if they are answered the news will be shared with our community the following week.
So please, start typing your serious TRANSFORMERS toy questions...
The first round thread of questions on Seibertron is located here, and the links to all the answered questions from all the participating websites can be found here.
Please do us a favor and try not to ask a question that has already been answered. We really want to be able to maximize this opportunity to its fullest.
Let's start thinking and asking more. All questions due by Monday 12:00 AM to be considered.
