The fine folks at Jagex just uploaded a trailer of the upcoming “Transformers Universe” game to YouTube. In this new trailer, you see teases of the gameplay involved as you join a side and fight your enemy. Take a look: [youtube id=”BLVxVvkmzzc” mode=”normal” align=”center”] ASM: It looks good so far, but as I’m not a huge gamer, I’m probably not the right person to judge. Anyone else have thoughts?

So, although I haven’t talked about the previous two exclusives (but I will soon), I figure that should change with the third reveal for BotCon 2014 – Devcon, the Cybertronian Knight! Some fans have been waiting for a Devcon toy for almost 30 years. We almost had him twice — he was a potential toy for BotCon 2002 (a race car)and if 3H had kept the BotCon license, we might have had him for BotCon 2005 or later (a remold of Energon Slugslinger). They say anticipation makes the heart grow fonder. I don’t know about that, but at least in

In a nice bit of pre-BotCon hype, the organizers of the 20th annual Transformers Convention have introduced us to Tornado, the Decepticon Saboteur, one the characters who will feature in this year’s “Pirates vs. Knights” set. And they’ve done this not on their own website, but via a new Facebook Page. By following Tornado, you’ll learn more about this saboteur via status updates as well as links to his personal logs (which are very handily stored as PDFs on Google Drive. The Big G even gets used by Transformers. Who knew?) Tornado also helpfully posted this artwork of himself. Very nice.

[Update: I typed 2015 when I meant 2014. Sorry, I’m stupid today.] If it’s on StarWars.com, that means it’s legitimate news and worthy of posting. Star Wars Episode VII starts filming in London in May 2014. Pinewood Studios will once again be transformed into that galaxy far, far away as J. J. Abrams starts directing the highly anticipated sequel. Also, we learn that the story takes place 30 years after Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, features three new lead characters and familiar faces. I’m betting those faces are Willrow Hood and that Stormtrooper who hit his head on that door.
