One year ago today, Transformers: Dark of the Moon was released in select theaters at 9pm while others got to see it three hours later. So in honor of that day, I want you guys to comment below and tell your DOTM story. What happened when you saw the movie for the first time and how excited were you? I remember that I went to an 8:40pm 3D showing on June 28th with a couple friends. The anticipation was killing me and while driving to the theater, I could not believe that I was about to see the movie. One and my friends and I got there about 20 minutes before the movie started. (We had all gotten our tickets earlier that day) My other friend that was attending though was running late and just barely got there on time. The theater was a little more than half full, but I expected that because not too many people knew about this early showing. It wasn't packed, but it was one of the best audiences I've seen a movie with. Every funny part was laughed at and everyone applauded at the end. I even remember that at the beginning of the movie when Carly was walking up the staircase, a guy in front of me leaned over to his kid and said, "Now that's the kind of Transformer I like to see," which got a good laugh out of the people around us. After watching the amazing movie, my friends and I went out to the lobby to find a very, very long line for the midnight showing of DOTM. One of my friends walked up to a guy standing in line and asked, "What movie are you guys seeing?" The guy almost instantaneously shouted, "Mr. Popper's Penguins!" My friend then had a funny expression realizing that was a stupid question. I really had trouble sleeping that night because I just couldn't stop thinking about how awesome that movie was. 
The results are in from the latest Transformers News poll! The question was: "What part of Fall of Cybertron are you looking forward to the most?" The winner with 54% of the votes was campaign. Multiplayer was second with 34% of the votes, followed by escalation with 11%. A new poll for Transformers 4 will be up shortly and be sure to 'like' the new Transformers News Facebook Page. I figured I should make a new one without "DOTM" in the name. The other Facebook page will still be active for a few months.Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Michael Bay has just all of a sudden flooded us with Transformers 4 news. The Transformers director was interviewed by The LA Times Hero Complex while visiting Universal's Transformers The Ride and he had a lot to say. First of all, Bay will start working on Transformers 4 next week. He just finished working on another one of his projects, "Pain and Gain", earlier this month and is ready to begin work on the fourth installment of Transformers. Bay also mentioned that there will be a complete new human cast, which kills the rumor of at least Tyrese Gibson returning. He wants to take this movie in a new direction, including character redesigns, but he emphasized that Transformers 4 will not be a reboot. It will continue the story of the previous three movies. The main idea of the plot will be discussed next week between Bay and the writer, Ehren Kruger. Bay goes on to hint that the movie will leave Earth, but just a little because he doesn't want it to get "too sci-fi."

Here with some somewhat odd news. A TFW2005 boards member has spotted the two unreleased wave three DOTM Robo Fighters toys at a Toys 'R Us in Indiana. The toys are Nightwatch Optimus Prime and Elite Guard Bumblebee. With the release of these DOTM toys and the Asia release of the deluxe Wheeljack, maybe the rest of the unreleased DOTM toys will reach the shelves in the future.
Steve Jablonsky, who composed the score for the first three Transformers movies, will be returning to compose the score for Transformers 4. Jablonsky has recently created the music for Transformers The Ride and Battleship. Arguably his most popular piece of work is "Arrival to Earth" from Transformers and I'm sure he will continue to compose beautiful scores for the Transformers franchise.

Transformers Prime The Game is coming to Nintendo's new gaming system, the WiiU. The game has already been announced for the Wii, DS and 3DS.
The LA Times has posted an article about Transformers The Ride and squeezed a bit of Transformers 4 news in it as well. The Times states that Michael Bay has said that this will be his final Transformers film (he said that last time, didn't he?), there will be some robot redesigns and it will feature an entirely new cast. I hope the robot designs don't change too dramatically and I do hope some of the cast will return. If too much change happens, you might as well call it a reboot and if it's a reboot, I don't think Bay should be directing. I've been sitting at my desk after I reading article wondering what possible direction this movie can take and I have absolutely no idea. Robot redesigns? Whole new cast? Sounds like a reboot to me. I'm starting to wonder if Transformers 4 should even happen. What's your opinion on the matter? Comment below and tell me what you think.
Someone was able to get their hands on an early copy of the next Gameinformer magazine which reveals what Metroplex looks like and it talks about Escalation, which will indeed return for the War for Cybertron sequel. This bit of news comes just before E3, where High Moon Studios was expected to release this information.
