News comes out of
Hasbro.com. They've kick started the
Hunt For the Decepticons campaign by giving us the information on it's background..
The AUTOBOTS have formed a secret alliance with humans to protect Earth from the DECEPTICON threat. Some troubling signs indicate that the DECEPTICONS are preparing to strike:
Several meteors have breached the atmosphere and seem to be aiming for different parts of the globe. The AUTOBOTS have also picked up increased communication signals from SOUNDWAVE but are unable to break the CYBERTRON-encrypted code.
Strange reports have appeared in various media. Among others a TV news report showed an unusual white muscle car in the northern jungle parts of Thailand heading toward China.
Sensing trouble, OPTIMUS PRIME keeps the AUTOBOTS on the highest alert.
Check back in early June to see how you can help the AUTOBOTS!

Advertising Age took the time to sit down with Hasbro concerning Hasbro's new venture with the Discovery Channel - Hub. Among the issues regarding Hasbro's projects and products such as My Little Pony, G.I.Joe and Transformers, Adage is able to get something out of Hasbro concerning the new Transformers cartoon, being
Transformers: Prime. To our utmost joy, legendary Transformers voice actor
Peter Cullen will be voicing
Optimus Prime. Cullen has voiced Optimus Prime in Michael Bay's live action films, as well as the soon to be released Transformers video game
War For Cybertron. However this marks the first time Cullen voices Optimus Prime in a cartoon since the end of Generation One. Feel free to check out a snippet of the article below, while the rest can be seen
here. .
Some of the Hub's most high-profile shows will be updated versions of well-known Hasbro programs from the 1980s, including "G.I. Joe," "Transformers" and "My Little Pony." The latter is being re-imagined for young girls by "Powerpuff Girls" creator Lauren Faust, while the new "Transformers Prime" will feature the voice of Peter Cullen, the original voice of Optimus Prime from the animated series as well as the Michael Bay-directed feature films. Additionally, "Transformers" feature screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci will act as showrunners. "G.I. Joe Renegades" will spotlight the Joes on the lam from government forces and the agents of Cobra, a storyline that echoes the recent feature film released by Paramount last summer.
