GameApps.HK reports that there is a new Transformers mobile game in development. The game is being developed for the Japanese market by Hero Z in association with Takara-Tomy.
The game, titled Transformers Ultimate All Stars, is promoted by artwork showing a spread of Generation 1 characters in a variety of styles, from Marvel to Dreamwave to IDW and package artwork for Generations and Henkei. The artwork hints that there might be more at play here than "just" Generation 1 in all its incarnations - we spot Terrorsaur from Beast Wars in the crowd.
There is not a lot of other information yet. It is reported that that the game is pre-registering players with some kind of in-game premium currency as a hook.
Transformers Ultimate All Stars releases this Autumn.

Amazon Japan has put up preorders for two interesting new Transformers items. The first is a
Transformers Theme Song DVD "30th anniversary Music Matrix version". There's not a lot in the way of details on that one, but descriptive text suggests that the DVD collects the opening and closing clips of the various Transformers cartoons released in Japan over the series 30 years.
