Casey Coller has been a mainstay on IDW Publishing's Transformers comics for the past several years. Casey took some time away from the drawing table to sit down and talk with the Tranformers group. Read the full Interview with Transformers: Robots in Disguise Cover Artist Casey Coller after the jump.
In a recent interview, Brian Tyler, the composer of the Transformers Prime soundtrack, has revealed how he approached the scoring the music for the show. The showrunners told him that they wanted something thematic (check) and epic (double-check). To be sure he hit that tone correctly, Mr. Tyler avoided the use of anything that sounded electronic and went with orchestral music. His work on the show led to a Daytime Emmy nomination last year in "Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition," although he did not win. The soundtrack is currently available for digital and physical consumption. The full video interview is available in the full article.

In Transformers Prime season 2 episode 14 Triage, Ratchet and Wheeljack are dispatched to retrieve a relic. Things would probably have gone well, but Soundwave shows up. We have seen glimpses throughout the series of how much of a badass that Soundwave could be, but this time, we get a tease of how a fight between Wheeljack and Soundwave would turn out. According to this preview, Soundwave: 1, Wheeljack: 0.

While we all play with transforming plastic robots at least once a day (for those that are busy - more if not so), we always wondered what would happen if there were real transforming robots? Well, your consider your interest piqued. Kenji Ishida developed Transformer Version8, a red little sports car, has 22 servo motors that provide the robot the ability to drive around, transform, and walk around. The robot also possesses some boxing skills. The video is pretty awesome, showing the feet rotate out, the chest coming together, and the wheels turning as the robot transforms from vehicle to robot and back again. Look for version9 soon! Watch it after the jump.
Botcon 2012 was really good to the Jazz mold. While it still has yet to see reuse at a retail level... well, anywhere as of this writing, three instances of it turned up among the convention's exclusive toys. Giving a really good toy its due, is what I'd call it. Even though I could only obtain one of these examples for myself, I was glad to have any chance at adding further dudes built on this model to my collection. Continue to full review...
