Hot on the heels of the Bumblebee figure’s reveal, UGO got some exclusive pictures of the upcoming Megatron and Optimus Prime releases based on the War for Cybertron video game coming to consoles soon. There wasn’t anything to really go on from the article aside from the pictures.

I have to say I really dislike Megatron’s alt mode. Megatron’s robot mode is slightly mistransformed and missing the cannon from the alt mode. Prime looks pretty good though.

The Transformers fan club has put up an exclusive image of the new War for Cybertron Bumblebee figure based on the forthcoming video game we mentioned back here, here and here.

This was the cover image to the latest club magazine and was posted on the club website.

We’ve been discussing this very topic on our forums here. Join the discussion or comment below on what you think of this likely filler sub-line until the new show/movie starts up.

We take you on a time journey back through previous Powetcasts, talking about Season 5 of LOST, and what we awesomeness we hope awaits in Season 6.

Since the alphabet is the building block of our language, the Powet Alphabet is the building block of what makes us geeks.

Duke Nukem. Halo. Call Of Duty. Resistance. Killzone. Goldeneye. Bioshock. Deus Ex. Quake. Timesplitters.

The list of great first person shooters goes on and on, and each game has left its own unique stamp on the genre, weather it’s the RPG-like stat progression of Bioshock and Deus Ex, the cinematic realism of Modern Warfare and Rainbow Six Vegas, the zaniness of Timesplitters and Duke Nukem, or the multiplayer action of Halo and Goldeneye. However, all of these games owe their existence and popularity to one name: Doom. While ID Software’s classic didn’t create the FPS genre (that honor many would say belongs to ID’s previous effort Wolfenstein 3D), it helped shape the face of the genre for years to come. This article will take a look at the classic and its impact on gaming.

As you can see above, the rare variant cover of Siege #3 has been revealed. Art by J. Scott Campbell. As mentioned in the PowetCast, the controversy surrounding this book is interesting. Marvel is giving one of these variant books for every 50 DC Blackest Night tie-in covers they receive. Not the book, mind you, just the ripped off covers. The specific books listed were part of a Blackest Night promotion where retailers had to order a certain number of each issue in order to get a bag of Lantern rings that are the focus of DC’s crossover. That would make this variant cover worth over a $100 out of the gate, if each of those DC books were $2 a piece.

This move seems to have upset many from all sides. It will be interesting to watch what these books go for on ebay once they are out.

Thanks to DeadpoolBugle for the news.

Back when Midway was a part of the Nintendo 64 Dream Team, they promised an exclusive Nintendo 64 version of Doom that would take advantage of the console’s capabilities. In 1997 they delivered Doom 64, a continuation of the franchise (yes, even after Final Doom) that gave the game a brand new look while retaining the shoot-em-up action the franchise was known for.
