Here is something extremely unexpected - it seems that the spirit of the Transformers Disney Label subline is being carried on by Bandai & Tamashii Nations - and that they are bringing it back with a combiner. This Japanese magazine scan, which we saw posted on
Facebook by Autobase Aichi, shows mecha versions of Micky Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald and Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto merging into a single robot mode. The mecha share a few design cues with the original Disney label versions of the characters. By appearances, Goofy and Pluto are forming legs, Donald and Daisy the arms, Micky the chest and Minnie we're not entirely sure. The head is even formed by Steamboat Willie, from the first Micky Mouse cartoon!
We've since had confirmation, by way of the
Cybergundam blog, that this is a Bandai / Tamashii Nations release rather than a new Disney Label item.

Things are heating up as Michael Bay replies back to Hugo Weaving regarding
his statement on voice acting for Megatron.
It is said that the director has posted on his official website, but the post Collider pointing to is missing. However, Collider
has posted a copy of the statement by Mr. Bay:
"Do you ever get sick of actors that make $15 million a picture, or even $200,000 for voiceover work that took a brisk one hour and 43 minutes to complete, and then complain about their jobs? With all the problems facing our world today, do these grumbling thespians really think people reading the news actually care about trivial complaints that their job wasn’t ‘artistic enough” or “fulfilling enough”? I guess The Hollywood Reporter thinks so.
What happened to people who had integrity, who did a job, got paid for their hard work, and just smiled afterward? Be happy you even have a job – let alone a job that pays you more than 98% of the people in America.
I have a wonderful idea for all those whiners: They can give their “unhappy job money” to a wonderful Elephant Rescue. It’s the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Africa. I will match the funds they donate."This may look like drama, but last time when this kind of thing happened (*cough*Megan Fox*cough*) we ended up with a new character. Which means we could end up with no Megatron or have Galvatron instead (or somebody else voicing Megatron). What do you think? Let your voice heard over at the Discussion Thread.

Thanks to
ComingSoon.net who attended a special presentation by Paramount Pictures, we learn that Paramount has revealed a logo for Transformers 4.
"The 2014 section kicked off with the next entry of the Transformers franchise. Obviously there was no footage to show, but the title does reveal a clever logo, the right half of the standard transformers symbol acting as the stem of the number four."We recently
saw Transformers 4 placeholder logo by Hasbro but there is no image available for this new logo.
