This week in review: Transformers HQ

In this new column that I will update every week, I will talk about the biggest news that were posted on Transformers HQ for the week. For more details about the news, visit www.transformershq.com

Megatron got a new head: After many complaint from the fans about the look of Megatron seen on some leaked concept arts, the movie makers decided to change the look of Megatron who, in the concept art seemed more like an alien from a manga than the old Megatron of the 80's. We still don't know which new look they decided to give Megatron, but we were assured that it wouldn't look like the leaked concept arts.

Voting for the Optimus Prime line contest: A few weeks ago on the official Transformers movie site, was released a contest for the movie. Participants could submit a line that they'd like Optimus Prime to speak in the live action Transformers Movie. Beginning this week, up to October 23rd, the fans can vote for their prefered line amongts the line that were submited earlier, the top ten line will be announced by November 9th.

Transformers inspired songs: Two songs, inspired by the Transformers were released this week by Vince DiCola, who also made some songs in the animated Transformers movie some years ago. The songs are very cool to listen and have an epic feel.

Prequel Book: David Cian, who already worked on many Transformers novel, said that he'll write a prequel book, talking about the events happening just before the events of next year's movie.

More Stuff...: A few new pictures from the set were also released showing a few Transformers cars. Hasbro also thanked the fans who attended Botcon and some new wallpapers were released for the 20th Aniversary Edition DVD of the Transformers that will be released on November.

That's about it for this week, see you next week for another This Week In Review.

Thanks!
