Yesterday was fun, wasn't it Seibertronians? All that intrigue and deciphering of hidden messages. Well, fellow code-crackers, I have good news! Thanks to a friend of the Bossbot, we have images of the second War For Cybertron: Siege poster with the hidden message revealed via a blacklight!

That's right, it seems that all of the posters handed out by Hasbro during San Diego Comic Con have hidden messages on them, just waiting to be found and read by fans. It is believed there were four different posters handed out but we've only received images of the first two so far. This poster, featuring Optimus Prime all on his lonesome, carries a hidden message in Cybertronian just like the full-cast poster of yesterday's news.

When translated, it reveals another short message, which seems as if it may be intended to come before the other one found previously. Together, the two short sentences form a somewhat more dramatic statement (though its meaning seems no more clear).

Check out the images below, and get cracking! Sadly this message is not as tough to decrypt as the last one, but should still be fun - I await your puzzling on the Energon Pub Forums, though be careful not to post too much information (even inside spoiler tags!) for the first while, so as not to spoil the fun for others. And if you happen to possess one of the other Hasbro SDCC posters, please reach out to us - we'd really appreciate it!

Best of luck to all, and don't forget to stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news, both normal and novel!

Now where did I put that cybertronian to English key...so I'm guessing no other encryption attempt other than a change of language?

Following Va'al's example from yesterday I'll post the solution in spoiler tags once the comments extend past the article's page. That goes for everyone - no solutions, even in spoiler tags, until a staff member (it might not be me since it's 12:30am here right now) indicates that it's okay to do so~

Sadly not this time.

I get the feeling we were "meant" to find and translate this one first - it's simpler, and it seems most sensible placed in front of the other message. Ah, but so the cookie crumbles I suppose.

Both of these would be great. Animated Safeguard is a figure I have been keeping my eye on to eventually get, since we never get that type of combiner. And Road Caesar is a figure I have been asking for along with Star Saber.

POST FILLLER!!!

Anyways in all seriousness, this whole secret message thing has me excited since it reminds me of similar hidden stuff in Destiny (The game from Bungie) with things like the Black Spindle (Or whisper of the worm for something much more recent) and Outbreak Prime (That would be a sweet name for a Transformer).

Well, since I can't actually spoiler images anyway (AFAIK), let's do it this way:

Here's a link to the blacklighted image, with the letters traced (mostly) accurately! This is the easiest way I can think of to share it, without just making it show up on the boards directly

Full solution hopefully coming soon, for all you lazies...

I'll be honest, Gravity Falls is a big reason why I enjoy these sorts of things so much. I doubt Hasbro will ever run anything as grand as the Cipher Hunt (though with their resources I'm totally sure they could!) but if they ever do, you can bet I'll be all over that.

ALERT, ALERT!! It seems we've hit the post cap for the news page - here comes the solution folks!
The text, once translated, reads: AUTOBOTS THE HOUR IS UPON US. (Here's my translated photo - beware of the solution!!) So most likely (based on my own guesses), what we have so far is intended to be read as Autobots, the hours is upon us. Activate Opeation Counterstrike.

Which sounds even more cool and exciting, but still means nothing for certain!! But with codes like these, the reward is in the deciphering anyway :-D

Thanks for playing along, y'all! Enjoy your respective days; I, meanwhile, have to sleep.

AUTOBOTS THE HOUR IS UPON US
Do we know anything about the other 2 posters?
Do they definitely have messages?
Why was this one just transliterated without a cipher, is the first message more important?
SO MANY QUESTIONS.

Sorry to not pick but this isn't the beginning of the great war as it's already been described as the last day on cybertron. Basically the war has already been raging and the decepticons are trying for a final push. I certainly believe the next toy lines will see them off world and possible earth...though that's just conjecture till this time next year!

Maybe not the start but its still during the war

Posted by Emerje on July 28th, 2018 @ 2:42pm CDT

Semi-crazy theory:

What if we were wrong and the War for Cybertron wasn't actually the war against the Decepticons, but a war against Unicron? First we have the "light our darkest hour" line directly from the movie, and now we have "the darkest hour is upon us", in the movie the darkest hour was when it looked like Unicron was going to destroy everything. What if it's actually a Titan Unicron that's in the works, because it's weird that they keep emphasizing that the next Titan is something BIG when all of the Titans are big. And what if the "counterstrike" is reviving Cybertron and awakening Primus? Usually you start, begin, or commence an operation, but to "activate" means you're turning something on, you wouldn't normally say "activate operation".

Warden is pretty good at deceptive statements that could mean more than one thing sometimes so it wouldn't surprise me if he was leading us in one direction in interviews, but the reality is something entirely different. For example in the Instagram Q&A someone asked where the Decepticons are and the answer was a cryptic, "every battlefield has two sides..." and we just assume they're talking about the Decepticons, but what if they aren't?

SpikeyTigertron wrote:Siege; Fall: Blackout? Rise of the micromasters?! :O maybe the last one will lead into beast wars reboot!

I've mentioned this before, but it's worth repeating: Warden said that in the future they're going to prove to the naysayers that they don't hate Beast Wars and the Unicron Trilogy. 2022, the year following then end of WfC, is the 25th anniversary of Beast Wars and 20th anniversary of Armada.

Hmm... if the Autobots are the ones under siege, as is the impression I've been getting, then operation counterstrike could easily be omega supreme, if he truly is this line's Titan. A besieged city/base that can stand up and fight back would definitely be a "counterstrike" in my book...

Yeah, but the figures of those new character combiners in those lines either aren't widely available or aren't good/at all comparable to the standards of Generations figures. I mean, look at this:

LookatThis.jpg

This is just as bad as Cyberverse (if you're name isn't Shockwave, anyway). So yes, more new/non-G1 Generations combiners, by all means.

...also Beast Era and Unicron Trilogy stuff, come ON.

More images from Wonder Festival 2018, coming in hot! We have a large batch of photos featuring early-wave figures from the War for Cybertron: Siege toyline, coming both from @Chohenken on Twitter and from Dengeki Hobby.

Notably, while we saw painted prototypes at San Diego Comic Con, these displays appear to be composed of finished samples - meaning this is an even better impression of what the final toys will look like! Featured in the display are Micromasters, both Battle Masters revealed so far, Hound, Sideswipe, Cog, a gray-prototype Ultra Magnus (the odd one out not being colored), and way too many Optimus Primes. This is also further evidence of the continuing "brand unity" between Hasbro and Takara-Tomy, as the figures do appear to be identical between the two companies' lines.

Check out the images below, and share your thoughts in the Energon Pub Forums! And don't forget to stay tuned for more images from various toylines, as WonFes rolls ever onward!

the SDCC were hand painted more or less figurines. Mock ups. Not sure why they painted the windows on those, but these are likely the first toys off the assembly line. Not quite rubber stamped with HasTak's seal of approval, but 98% of the way there.

personally, I am glad he has a windshield and not a blast shield.

Cog just keeps looking better and better to me. Though, that's probably me just being a sucker for Transformers that can be used as armor/weapons/power-ups for others while still having a separate vehicle mode unlike pure weapons-formers

It’s amazing how much better and appeasing these look when care is taken with transforming an posing them. I actually kinda want Optimus and I didn’t even want him before because he looks so much better!

You know, when I first saw Ultra Magnus had his Car robots Alt Mode I was head over Heels beyond thrilled. At last, he’s got an Auto Carrier alt mode that actually looks like its a thing. Sure, its his G1 bot mode. Sure, the trailer is a parts former. But its a GOOD Alt mode.

But I am starting to really cool off about it now. There’s no way I’m not gonna buy it, but I am starting to lean back towards “Maybe the CW Mags is the better figure. I do however like the Siege Magnus is gonna have 5mm hands so I can use the Dr. Wu hammer and gun that doesn’t quite sit.in CW’s hands right. I hope someone comes out with Blue Bolts for him. That was a SiCK weapons platform.

Prime’s red plastic looks thin. Maybe its just me?

Seeing Sideswipe again, he’s still a pass. And while I like what they are doing with Cog, he’s not a priority. I don’t have Max, so there’s that) Will wait for SixGun.

I AM however getting more excited for Hound. I am glad to see he has a windshield. And Ironhide looks like a lot of fun. I just hope we get a Ratchet.

I actually like Hound a lot more now with clear windows, but what happened to his box art head? How weird did things get in the concept stages before they settled on his G1 head?

Now for some backtracking. I forgot to point this out when everyone was trying to decipher the second poster and I'm surprised nobody else did. Check out who's hanging out in the background. It's nothing we didn't assume was happening, but it's nice to see:
