Previously it was
reported that actor Josh Duhamel will make a Cameo Appearance on Transformers 4. However, things were very quiet and the actor finally
gave a solid answer:
"Nope. I'm not in the next one."With that tidbit,
Tyrese Gibson’s Cameo Appearance is also in question at the moment.

Zap2It has
posted an interview with the legendary duo; Peter Cullen and Frank Welker from the Grand Opening of Transformers: The Ride - 3D, Universal Orlando. If you missed our coverage, you can find it
right here.
Speaking to Zap2It, Mr. Cullen spoke a bit about Optimus Prime's redesign for the upcoming Michael Bay movie; Transformers 4:
"I'm always fascinated by the design changes because what could be more realistic than something that transforms and can change itself," Cullen told Zap2it. "And cars change every year. They come off the design tables and the clay models and before you know it you've got a brand new look to a car. I like it that way. I'm excited to find out what Mr. Bay is going to do for the next look. After all, he's always going to look like that [the Optimus Prime statue on Transformers: The Ride 3D]. He's always going to transform into something pretty close to that." Meanwhile, Mr. Welker is waiting to see if he'll return for the 4th installment:
"Yet to be determined," Welker admitted. "I'm not sure. I did the last two. I'm waiting to see and usually I don't know until the very end, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what Michael does. He always outdoes himself, so he's got big shoes to feel when he's got to fill his own shoes. It will be a lot of fun to see what he comes up with."Peter Cullen also talked some emotionally powerful words about the Franchise:

Today is the last day of International Licensing Expo 2013 and already Hasbro has
scored some big deals with other companies worldwide.
The biggest name associated with Hasbro is undoubtedly: Transformers. Yesterday,
we announced Hasbro’s plan to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Transformers with publishing. With books being Food for your mind, why not have some food for your tummy?
Today at the Expo, Hasbro came to an agreement with Brand Licensing Team (BLT) for food and beverage extensions for various Hasbro properties in the U.S. and Canada, including Transformers.
“For Hasbro, the alignment with Brand Licensing Team made sense because of their long-term strategic approach and experience in the food and beverage industry,” says Simon Waters, senior vice president, global brand licensing and publishing, Hasbro. “We were impressed with their go-to-market plans and ideas to infuse our beloved Hasbro brands into the lives of consumers in a new way.”Brazilian apparel retailer LEADER has also extended its relationship with Hasbro to expand the Transformers, My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop lines into categories such as footwear and accessories this holiday season.
We are yet to see what Hasbro is showcasing at the International Licensing Expo 2013, but enjoy their Company Entertainment and Licensing Video (which they debut for the 2011 International Licensing Expo) below:
