This trailer shows off some of the multiplayer in War For Cybertron, which will allow you to create a character. Or more accurately, recolor a character. They’ve got a few classes you can choose from and then you put on your deco of choice. Its like making your own little G2!
You’ll still be able to select standard Autobots and Decepticons, including Demolishor (left), making his debut outside of the Armada universe. He’ll be playable to those who preorder from Transformers: War for Cybertron on Amazon.com on either Xbox 360 or PS3.

First, the bad news:

Unfortunately, there are no plans to release Animated Season 3 or to re-release Season 1 or 2 at this time. Granted, all plans are always subject to change, but we do not want to promise anything at this point in time.

Thats directly from Hasbro Q&A on Actionfigs.com. This is extremely disappointing to anyone who collected the first 2 seasons of course, but also leaves anyone who missed the show in its first airings completely in the dark. Hopefully Hasbro will remember that Transformers are still PRINTING MONEY right now and any more product they can get into the market is good.
Some of the last Animated figures, Rodimus and Ironhide will appear as Toys R Us Exclusives this fall. If you want these figures, get a job at Toys R Us so that you can buy them as soon as they come in. Arcee disappeared quickly, too quickly.

In lighter news, Animated will air in Japan soon, and it got a killer anime intro sequence.

This is the best thing since Shinin’ Your Soul!

MattyCollector.com has announced that Wave 5 of the popular DC Universe Classics line will be available once again on MattyCollector.com on May 17th. The first release of this wave was a store exclusive to Wal-Mart and subsequently incredibly hard to procure. The wave includes Black Lightning, The Riddler, Eradicator, Amazo and The Atom. Each of these figures comes with a Collect N’ Connect piece that assemble to form Metallo.

I’ll be sure to mention this in the MattyCollector day reminder for that month along with the MOTUC releases. DCU fans, let me introduce you to the Red/White Screen of Death courtesy of Digital River.

Special thanks to forum member Rabban for the tip!

This is your monthly reminder, collectors! On sale today is MOTUC Moss Man. Both versions of Moss Man will be on sale, but I think the version with the flocked ears will be limited in quantity since those were from before the running change to remove the flock from the ears as fans demanded. Reissue Stratos will also be available for sale. MOTUC collectors finally get a fairly light month with just that figure and reissue.

Also on sale will be DCUC Wave 12 as a set. This is the wave with Darksied as the Collect ‘n Connect figure. The Dark Knight Movie Masters Scarecrow is also up for purchase.

One of my favorite toy lines as a kid was M.U.S.C.L.E., which stood for Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere! Unfortunately, there was little to no story given to these bizarre two inch figures. One must look to its Japanese origins from the series Kinnikuman (literally ‘muscle man’) to really understand what M.U.S.C.L.E. was all about. That is why today is K for Kinnikuman.

In a teaser image for Brandweek, it appears that Hasbro has given us our first look at what could be the new Transformers show’s Bumblebee.

From the Allspark:

Allspark member Monocle has posted an ad for the Hasbro/Discovery Hub network that he found in Brandweek…And Transformers fans will be giddy to see who makes an appearance! Making his debut to the world, a new character model for Bumblebee (one would assume he’s from the next new Transformers TV series that will be broadcast on Hub). This Bumblebee looks familiar for those fans of the Transformers movies, but has been tweaked to look younger and, well, cuter.

Looks like some My Little Pony fans will happy as well with this ad.

I totally missed all of the announcements for JoeConCobraCon 2010, in addition to the Collectors’ Club updates. After a little reconnaissance, I’m happy to report back with my findings!

Intelligence can be found after the jump!
