The latest from
Gameinformer's coverage of High Moon Studio's Fall of Cybertron is all about Autobot Jazz. Optimus Prime's lieutenant in the original cartoon, Fall of Cybertron is set to see Jazz take the role of a playable character. The article has some spoilers as it goes into detail about how Jazz fits into the story, and there is also some examination of how Jazz's personality is integrated into the way the character moves and plays. A key feature discussed in the article is how Jazz has an emphasis on speed - his levels are large and multi-tiered, and Jazz can traverse them using his signature grapple ability, which older fans might remember from the earliest episodes of Transformers Generation 1.
It is also mentioned in the course of the article that Cliffjumper is also expected to be a playable character, and that he and Jazz have a "buddy cop" kind of dynamic between them.

You may have already read TFW2005’s
coverage of Transformers Ongoing splitting into two titles; More Than Meets The Eye & Robots In Disguise (If you haven’t read… go read. But mind you… Spoilers!). Both issues are set to release in 4 different covers each in
January, 2011. But, as some of you noticed, the covers combine to form one single image each.
Transformers artist
Alex Milne is handling the More Than Meets The Eye cover while
Marcelo Matere (who is also another famous artist) handles the Robots In Disguise cover. Joining them are talented
Priscilla Tramontano, and
Josh Perez to take care of the awesome coloring.
Thanks to the DeviantArt accounts of the artists, we are treated with the inter-connected covers. Take a look... after the jump.

The hunt begins again, I suppose! The Walmart exclusive of Track Battle Roadbuster (which is a redeco of the
Roadbuster deluxe from the first wave) has been sighted at three different Walmarts in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. This toy appears to be in a case all by itself, similar to how the
Walmart Exclusive Deluxe Optimus Prime was released.
A bit of a fun fact, this redeco is actually based on a real life redeco as the NASCAR itself has been redecoed into several other variants including this color scheme, which was used for some DOTM concept art.
Have you recently found anything in your area? Want to share that information with your fellow Transfans? Swing on by the
Sightings forum and share the love.
