Rovio; the creator of the successful Angry Birds franchise
stated on Thursday that the company has lost its revenue and operating profit during 2014. The profit has fallen a whopping 73% last year.
Regarding the matter, the
status of Angry Birds: Transformers was also a discussion point. After the first 6 months of release, the game is at the 262nd position on the iOS App Store (position on the Google Play Store is not revealed). This was compared to the position of the original Angry Birds game; which was at number #2 position 6 months after the release. Angry Birds: Stella which was also released last year has not done so well either.
Despite all of that, a new Angry Birds game (titled as Pigstruction) is in development.
We do not know what these statements mean with regards to the future of the Angry Birds: Transformers mobile game but it certainly doesn't seems to be a good one.

Couple of days ago TFW2005 sister site
HISSTANK reported that Hasbro has applied for several new G. I. Joe Trademarks including a trademark for a Joe brand related beverage. We speculated that this could very well be to revive the old G. I. Joe Survival Beverage series.
Today, fellow fan site Transformers At The Moon is
reporting that Hasbro has applied for yet another beverage related trademark and this time it's Transformers.
Transformers (United States Patent and Trademark Office ID:
86555393)

The next DeNA Transformers: Legends event; Key To Vector Sigma: Part 2 is now live. This event continues where
Part 1 left off, one month ago.
Though unspecified on the official description, Transformers fans have informed that DeNA has made some changes for this event. First of all the Raid Boss health has been increased significantly. Secondly, the reward structure has been changed (ex: T1 players will now receive R5 Evolution Cards of Arielbots instead of the R8 cards). Finally, the Battle Cube Farming seems to have been discontinued despite the fact that DeNA stating previously that the Raid Boss Events will serve as the primary source of Battle Cube Farming.
Official Description:
Back on Earth, the DECEPTICONS discover that the key to Vector Sigma is able to transmute whatever it touches into metal. Knowing that they have this, and the might of MENASOR, the DECEPTICONS decide that they will turn the Earth into a new Cybertron.
Teletraan 1 detects the energy of the key being used to convert parts of the area around a major northwestern city into metal, and alerts the AUTOBOTS. The AERIALBOTS join their new allies and head there, intent on stopping the DECEPTICONS from destroying the Earth’s environment with the key.
The STUNTICONS, upon seeing their hated rivals among their newly arrived enemies, charge towards them, intent on turning them into scrap. An instant later, a mighty battle erupts around them and the AERIALBOTS, leaving members of both factions out of commission.

Love them or hate them, the Transformers live action films directed by Michael Bay bring in the money. In a report by
Deadline, the fourth installment of the live action series, Age of Extinction, netted a profit of $250.2 million. That's not total revenue (which was $1.09 billion) that's an extra $250 million in the pockets of Paramount!
American Sniper came in at second place with $242.58 million, while The Lego Movie rounded out the top three with a profit of $229.008 million.
Be sure to read the full breakdown of the most valuable blockbusters on
Deadline as many comic book focused movies made the list.

There have been several screenings of the much beloved 1986 Transformers movie lately and
Topless Robot recently were lucky enough to get a Q&A with some of the creators. At this particular screening they spoke with the movie's story consultant Flint Dille, voice director Wally Burr and voice actors Neil Ross and Michael Bell about its enduring legacy. They cover many topics including the late Leonard Nimoy and Orson Welles, voice acting, having to make the Transformers edgier than the GoBots and ultimately, killing Optimus Prime.
We've mirrored the whole Q & A session for you and you can view it by clicking the title bar. Or you can watch it in it's entirety below courtesy of
