After the Amazon
reveal, the creators of Transformers Classified: Switching Gears teased the fans with some tidbits. Nothing too big, but enough to get an idea what we’ll get from the upcoming Novel.
First it was Transformers Artist Guido Guidi who confirmed the front cover character as ROTF Gears. Mr. Guidi then
shared a tiny (yet valuable) piece of info with the TFW2005 Members…
“Well, when working on the cover illustration I was told that this novel was set in the movie universe, in this case between ROTF and DOTM, if I remember correctly.
BTW, Amazon posted the front cover only... since it was designed as a wraparound/jacket cover, there's other stuff going on in the back cover
Hopefully I should get the permission from the publisher to post the full artwork.”Keep an eye out on Guido Guidi’s Official
Deviantart Page and while you are there, enjoy his awesome artwork.
Next it was Co-Writer Jason Fry who updated his
Blog to say…
"I don’t just write Star Wars, though — give me a story to tell and I’ll be happy. I co-wrote Transformers Classified: Switching Gears with my old friend Ryder Windham, and we had a blast. Look for it in October 2011."Both Jason Fry and Ryder Windham are excellent writers when it comes to expanding a movie storyline into spinoff series. They proved this by writing countless Star Wars tie-in novels.

United States Patent And Trademark Office has
updated the details of a previously known trademark; Transformers One.
Back then it was just classified as “
Entertainment Services”. Now however it is further explained as…
“Entertainment services, namely, the production and distribution of motion pictures; entertainment services, namely, ongoing television programs and an animated television series all in the field of children's entertainment”Also, the trademarks titled SPARK YOUR SUMMER, UNLOCK THE SECRETS and DESTINATION EARTH has now moved onto the status of “
A first request for extension of time to file a Statement of Use has been granted”. This means we’ll actually hear about them pretty soon. This writer’s best guess – A DOTM movie toyline just like the Hunt For The Decepticons ROTF Sequel Line.
