After much speculation regarding who would be cast in the upcoming fourth live-action Transformers movie,
Micheal Bay has confirmed on his website that Mark Wahlberg has been signed on for Transformers 4.
HOLLYWOOD, CA (November 8, 2012) – After an exceptionally successful collaboration on the upcoming “Pain and Gain,” Michael Bay has cast Academy Award®-nominee Mark Wahlberg in the highly anticipated “TRANSFORMERS 4.” The film will hit theaters June 27th, 2014.
“Mark is awesome. We had a blast working on “Pain and Gain” and I’m so fired up to be back working with him. An actor of his caliber is the perfect guy to re-invigorate the franchise and carry on the Transformers’ legacy,” said Bay.
Bay will direct the next installment in the “TRANSFORMERS” series, which begins shooting next spring. From Paramount Pictures, a division of Viacom, Inc., in association with Hasbro, the film will be produced by Don Murphy & Tom DeSanto, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Ian Bryce, and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Bay, Brian Goldner and Mark Vahradian.
Bay’s first “TRANSFORMERS” film was a box office sensation in 2007, opening at #1 and earning more than $700 million worldwide. His second installment “TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN” in 2009 grossed more than $830 million worldwide. In 2011, “TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON” was an even bigger hit worldwide, grossing more than a billion dollars to become the 5th highest grossing film of all time. To date, the franchise has earned more than $2.6 billion worldwide.On the same story, we also have our first look at a logo for Transformers 4, which has been attached to this news story for your viewing pleasure.

We've got three more galleries to share with you now! We are rounding out our gallery coverage of the Transformers Prime Cyberverse Commanders with a look at three of the four releases in Prime Cyberverse Commander Wave 3 and 4 -
Nightwatch Optimus Prime,
Ultra Magnus and
Skyquake!
All three are pretty cool little toys. Nightwatch Optimus Prime is a redeco of the initial Commander Optimus Prime release, and were it not for his faceplateless head would actually make a decent representation of Nemesis Prime with his overall more dull deco and yellow eyes. Ultra Magnus is a cool little robot, complete with his Magnus hammer, and an unfortunately exposure of his thighs in vehicle mode. Lastly Skyquake is an awesome redeco of Dreadwing, with new weapons, just like the character in the show. He's the first representation of the one-shot villain to get a toy, and he's a worthy addition.
Check out the galleries of the three by opening the links below:

Can't wait for another triple changer? According to FansProject,
Assaulter(their modernized take on
G1 Broadside) will be released on November 30. However, it seems that some lucky fans were able to score this new figure early as some rather impressive in-hand images have surfaced here!
To date, this is the largest figure FansProject has ever produced. Assaulter is roughly the size of a voyager class figure give or take, and has 4 modes of transformation. Check out how this figure turned out after the jump!
Staff Note: This kit is an unofficial product not produced or endorsed by Hasbro or Takara/Tomy.Read Replies (0)

For a while now we've been hearing that Maketoys has a robot in production based on The Fallen, named Mobain. We'd seen that it had Power Core Combiner functionality, that the arms and legs could split off to form weapons systems or sets of limbs for the Power Core Combiners in their own right. Now it appears that Maketoys is splitting up the Mobain, with the limbs-tank being sold separately in two different decos. The set is named "Missile Launcher" and comes in "
Jungle Type" green deco colored to match Power Core Combiners Heavy Tread, and "
Marine Type" gray deco, ostensibly colored to match with Undertow. According to the linked pages on Big Bad Toy Store, they are going to retail at $54.99 and are due for a release in December.
There's still no word on the teased black deco or the release of the second tank that was shown in early pictures and presumably forms the core robot of the Mobain. One can assume from Maketoy's past form, though, that the core tank will be released separately and then a giftset - with the source-material accurate deco - will follow afterwards.
