It looks like Transformers: War for Cybertron is getting a little more life with another 10x XP extended holiday weekend. The game’s official Facebook page updated with the following:

“We kick off another 10x XP blast starting…now! We will keep the XP rewards up to 10x their normal value all the way through this week and into this weekend, ending on Sunday Nov 28th at midnight. Enjoy a leg of turkey while you level your transformers up even quicker this weekend.”

This is going on right now through Sunday evening.
A shame this does nothing for anyone having trouble with Escalation.

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while now, especially because my anticipation has been running high for this figure. The Transformers Collector’s Club revealed their second 2011 Club Exclusive figure, Transtech Cheetor. A character model is shown using a Transformers Animated style. The art was provided by Derrick J Wyatt. While, we have not seen the actual robot mode, they have provided a nice picture of the vehicle mode. The figure uses the Transformers Animated Blurr mold with a newly sculpted head. This will most likely be the only Animated mold to get the club treatment. Transtech Cheetor will be joining G2 Ramjet as figures available for purchase exclusively through the Collector’s Club. If you sign up for the club before March 16, you will also receive the club freebie figure, Side Burn.

 

Yes its true, November 17 in the year 2000 was the US air date of the final episode of Beast Machines.

And even though it has been a decade since the most controversial Transformers series, it still feels like a turning point in the saga. But really it was the end of the saga.

Some credit for this video goes to Mr. Plinkett, who taught me that if you hate something enough, you can talk about it.

If you didn’t think the above video ruined the show for you, it is currently available on DVD.

The Transformers Collectors Club have unveiled the first of the two club exclusive figures for 2011. That figure is Generation 2 Ramjet. He, along with the other, as yet unrevealed, club exclusive figure, will be available for purchase only to club members. We recently posted about the reveal of the 2011 Club Membership figure, Sideburn. Anyone who renews their membership before March 16, 2011 will receive one free Sideburn figure. After that you will have the opportunity to buy G2 Ramjet and the other exclusive figure.

 

As I recall, the other unnamed figure was mentioned at Botcon to be a redeco of Animated Blur as Transtech Cheetor. This is merely what they were planning and has not been officially announced yet.

I don’t know if you recall, but I hated War For Cybertron Optimus Prime. Does Megatron fair any better? Let hope so.
