We, here, at Powet.TV bring you only the finest news in entertainment. Thats why we needed to share this official announcement.

TakaraTomy, the Japanese company that works with Hasbro to bring us Transformers, has posted a pdf file on their site (available here). This pdf is nothing short of a papercraft couch for your Arms Micron figures. These are the mini-con figures that have been released with the Transformers Prime figures in Japan. They are little robots or animals that turn into weapons for the larger figures to use.

Apparently, the couch comes in two flavors; Autobot and Decepticon.

Choose wisely, Poweteers. Choose wisely.

Let us know in the comments what other pieces of household furniture you’d like to see officially released from Takara!

Yesterday we learned that Mark “Marky Mark” Wahlberg had joined the cast of Transformers 4. Powet.tv has an exclusive first look at Marky Mark on the set in the role of Optimus Prime!

This is of course not Marky Mark’s first affiliation with Transformers. In the movie Boogie Nights Marky covered Stan Bush’s “The Touch” from the 1986 Transformers animated movie. This is shown in Powet’s review of the Transformers animated movie on Blu-Ray:

He also whips out a large prosthetic penis in the film.

It was previously reported that Jason Statham would be the new star of the film. At this time this appears to be untrue as he was not spotted on set along with Marky Mark.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron was released only a couple short weeks ago, but it seems that is all we have been playing. An incredibly fun and varied game, it includes some new playable characters that we had not seen before in the game’s predecessor, Transformers: War for Cybertron. Some of the new characters included fan-favorites like Jazz, Cliffjumper, the Combaticons and the Dinobots. This list offers a look at what could have been, what is missing and what is still yet to come in terms of characters appearing in the game.
