Activision have recently upped its revenue guidance for the 2007 financial year due to recent sales of Guitar Hero III and Call of Duty 4. With this news comes some information on future Transformers games.
Activision CEO Bobby Kotick mentioned Transformers as a ‘new brand’ and that a sequel to Transformers The Game was hinted as being in development, even if the movie, Transformers 2, does not come out for a while. Our guess puts a new Transformers game for next Christmas.
The game may also have a new developer as Traveller’s Tales was bought earlier this month.
Total film magazine, who gave Transformers 4/5 stars in July, have named Autobot leader Optimus Prime as the 30th greatest movie hero in their Top 50 heroes and villains list.
Unfortunately, Megatron did no make the villains list, probably due to the fact he was given no real personality in the Transformers movie and featured only in the last 30 minutes.

UK developer Travellers Tales, who developed Transformers: The Game on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii and Playstation 2, and the highly successful Lego Star Wars games, have been bought by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. This means that any future Transformers games planned by Activision, the publisher and rights holder to Transformers computer games, will have to have a new developer.
