Video Footage from Transforce in 2001
Almost 18 years ago (crikey, has it been that long?) we wrote a review of our visit to Transforce in August 2001. It was a seriously hot day, but a great… [more]

We’re having a USB mad day today. Hot on the heals of the Transformers USB hub that looks like Blaster and transforms into a laptop comes this 2GB USB memory stick that Transformers into Ravage, the master of stealth.
The USB stick mode looks just like a micro cassette tape, and then he transforms into the classic Ravage panther mode.
We’re not sure if Ravage will actually fit into the chest of the USB hub Blaster though… now there’s a thought.
Ravage retails for around $43 and you can pre-order one from Big Bad Toy Store now.

Soundwave may be featuring in the new Transformers movie, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, but Blaster was always the coolest of the cassette wielding robots. Now you can own your very own Blaster in laptop form, and he has a practical use too.
This Transformers USB hub transforms from a laptop (complete with a Windows XP screen) to a robot (with a tape deck) and the whole while he acts as a 4 way USB hub.
Who could want for anything more? Well, maybe if the laptop actually worked as well, but it doesn’t, sadly.
The Transformers USB hub is from CraziestGadgets and is set to retail for around $42 in the USA. You can pre-order the Transformers USB hub from BBTS here.

We just received an email with a link to this Optimus Prime birthday cake that someone made for their three year old son. This was especially interesting to me as I’ve always wanted an Optimus Prime birthday cake, and have been dropping the most subtle of hints for the last few years, to no avail.
Maybe I could approach whoever made this cake and see if they’ll do it for a fee?
Ever wanted to drive your own Transformer? Of course you have, and now thanks to Chevrolet you can. To commemorate the release of the new Transformers movie: Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, Chevy are releasing an exclusive Bumblebee branded version of their Camaro, as seen in the Transformers movies.
The Camaro comes in yellow colours with the black racing stripes, just like the real Bumblebee. That’s not all though, the car also features the Autobot insignia on the steering wheel, the seats and the wheel centres.
You can place your order why Chevy for your own Bumblebee in June until December this year, and be the envy of all of your friends.
As for the technical specs of the car, it’s available in V6 or V8 and in the LT and SS trims. You can have the RS package as an optional extra which would give you the HID xenon headlights and 20 inch wheels.
If you’re the sort of Transformers fan who’d love a trip to Leicester Square on June 15th to attend the premiere of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, where Michael Bay, Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf will also be in attendance, you’re probably interested in the competition that Paramount UK are running.

If you like your footwear made from plastic, unusable as shoes and with the uncanny ability to transform into Autobots and Decepticons, then Nike has the footwear for you.
By footwear, we mean something resembles footwear, cos you can’t actually wear it… obviously.
Nike has produced some Nike Air III trainers to publicise the upcoming Transformers sequel, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. Sadly for footwear fans (if there in fact any such things as footwear fans) the trainers aren’t scheduled for any kind of release.
I wonder if you could convince your parents to buy you these as a new pair of trainers?
There was even an advert from Nike some years ago along similar lines where a giant sneaker billboard advert transformers into a robot, which you can see here:
Fast food chain Burger King has signed a 3 picture deal to offer promotional toys for the movies: Star Trek, G.I. Joe and Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.
The details of the Transformers toys offered by Burger King are:
TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN
Transform Your Way(TM): Starting June 22, fans can look forward to the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen promotion, which will give guests the chance to take home a range of prizes, from $1 million cash to a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro to movie passes and instant-win food items like the CROISSAN’WICH(R) and WHOPPER(R) sandwich. As part of the Transform Your Way(TM) scratch-and-win game, game pieces will be available on specially marked menu items. BURGER KING(R) will also give guests a second chance to win at bktransformers.com, where consumers can navigate interactive online applications to enter daily for a chance to win $10,000.
New BK BBQ DOUBLE STACKTICON(TM) sandwich: The BURGER KING(R) menu will undergo a transformation with this new sandwich. Available for a limited time only for a suggested retail price starting at $2.79 the Transformers-inspired burger allows guests to stack multiple burger patties, bacon, sauce and cheese similar in theme to the “combining” of Transformers characters in the upcoming film.
Advertising by film director Michael Bay: Blockbuster director, Michael Bay, directed the national kid’s television advertising spots that will turn the BURGER KING(R) dining experience on its head. In addition, each BK(R) Kids Meal will come with one of eight Transformers toys that bring the beloved characters and vehicles from the movie to life.
This deal between Burger King and Paramount represents the first movie merchandise deal for Paramount that stretches across more than one movie franchise. LeeAnne Stables is the executive VP for marketing for Paramount. She states:
Burger King has been an excellent partner for us because of the volume of customer traffic.
Burger King and Paramount have enjoyed partnerships before, on the 2007 movie Transformers and 2008’s Iron Man.
The best news yet for Transformers fans is that Transformers 2 director Michael Bay is set to direct a special Burger King advert for Transformers. This ensures that the TV spot for BK has the same style as the much anticipated movie, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.
