Activision has sent us two more War For Cybertron reveals and with it comes big names. These are a bit more iconic than the previous reveals, as we get character profiles and images for Ironhide and Skywarp. Check them out below!
IRONHIDE
Autobot
Class: Soldier
Chassis: Truck
Primary Weapon: EMP Shotgun
Abilities: Whirlwind, Dash
Description: Ironhide is the oldest Autobot on the team. He is the slowest Autobot on the team. He is also the meanest, toughest, orneriest Autobot on the team. He is most definitely yesterday’s model, but he was built to last – seemingly forever. He is a soldier, first and foremost, but his tough exterior hides a deep compassion for life. He is one of Optimus’ most trusted advisors on all matters.
SKYWARP
Decepticon
Class: Scout
Chassis: Jet
Primary Weapon: Thermo Rocket Launcher
Abilities: Cloak, Dash
Description: Skywarp possesses cloaking technology which he uses to sow destruction upon his enemies. Skywarp isn’t the most intelligent Transformers character in the Decepticon force, so he needs to be continually guided and told what to do. Regardless, once set upon a path, Skywarp will achieve his goal with quiet, ruthless efficiency.

Important information, including the cast of the five figure Convention box set has been revealed. Set cost is $305 for club members, $375 for non-members.
At Botcon 2010, an Autobot will step forward to lead this NEW Generation! The Autobot SPARK, as he is called by the closest to him, was the first in this new Generation. Alongside SPARK is the Protectobot STREETWISE who doesn't know when to quit. He has definitely received an upgrade from Generation 1 including an all new color scheme!
Not to be outdone, the Decepticons have their own "next generation" as well led by CLENCH, a con with an outlaw attitude, and with Stunticon help from the always suspicious BREAKDOWN. The Decepticons are ready to take the war to a whole new level! And now, they have found just the robot to help them do it!
The Predacon General SKYBYTE has discovered a way to refine a mysterious substance known as Forestonite. By itself, the substance is harmless. But SKYBYTE has found a way to manipulate its properties, and the Decepticons are all to eager to use it on... themselves? What does this substance do and what effects will it have on Transformers? All will be revealed this summer at Botcon 2010.

Earlier today, fellow Seibertronian Giga Zarak contacted us to inform us that our old site articles section was missing. Truth be told, I think it's been M.I.A. for at least a few years now. Fortunately, I had the old articles in a database table still so I imported them into our news section for all of you to enjoy. Some of these articles are press releases, old newspaper articles from the 80s, or articles that I wrote for Seibertron.com's predecessor "Trans-Forum" (which was a Transformers fanzine I ran from 1996 to 1999).
Comments will be unavailable for these topics at this time. If someone can help by creating forum topics for them in the appropriate forums and by sending a list of the titles and URLs for these articles, I'll hook up these old articles with the new forum topics.
In the meantime, here's some fun reading from Seibertron.com to bring back some memories this fine spring weekend.
Transformers
Date: November 18th, 1984

Author: Sharon Young
We'd like to thank Simon Plumbe, organizer of Auto Assembly 2010 for sending us the following press release.
Europe's largest Transformers convention, Auto Assembly, has already confirmed ten guests for Auto Assembly 2010 including two guests of honour but we are now able to end months of speculation and confirm the identity of our third and final guest of honour and the second voice actor who is attending this year's convention...
The actor is... well, you're going to have to visit our channel on Youtube and watch the latest episode of our news videos to find out for yourself here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M0TCTNxPqs
After watching the video, we're sure you'll all agree that Auto Assembly 2010 has the biggest and best guest line-up ever for Auto Assembly. Prior to this announcement, we already had two guests of honour confirmed (Garry Chalk and Derrick J Wayatt) and no less than 8 comic guests (Simon Furman, Nick Roche, Guido Guidi, Simon Williams, Liam Shalloo, Kris Carter, Jason Cardy and Kat Nicholson) and all our guests will be signing autographs and available to meet fans all weekend and each will take to the stage for a Q&A session during the convention.
The convention is taking place between Friday 13th - Sunday 15th August 2010 at the The Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England. It will be a packed weekend featuring toy and art displays, dealers, comic guests, free autograph sessions, a video games area, free workshops run by many of our guests, dedicated childrens programming, video screenings and so much more to be announced! There will also be Friday and Saturday evening programmes, exclusive for weekend attendees and the Saturday evening will play host to a party, a concert by rock band Next Of Kin (including a Transformers themed set with music from the 1986 animated movie!), costume competition, our voice actors will take to the stage to perform a BRAND NEW script written by Simon Furman and we have a few more surprises in store...!
Because of the venue size, we are restricting attendance to a MAXIMUM of 550 people at the convention per day which can be made up of a combination of weekend and one-day attendees and once we hit that total we will be closing registrations so if you want to attend Europe's largest Transformers convention, you need to hurry and get your tickets now as we have already had over 230 pre-registrants with over 4 months to go!
Despite our running costs increasing for this year, we have frozen ticket prices from Auto Assembly 2009 and they are £45 for adults and £35 for children, students and senior citizens, with under 5s admitted free. Family tickets (2 adults and 2 children) are available for £145. Single day passes are available at reduced rates but these are VERY limited.
For more details on the convention, to see a full list of all the guests and activities taking place over the weekend, or to book your tickets, visit the website at http://www.autoassembly.org.uk
June 22nd. It's two days before Botcon, and most importantly it's the day of reckoning for Transformers gamers! War For Cybertron is set for release on five consoles, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and for the PC. GameSpot provided a bountiful amount of news concerning War For Cybertron, and they come through with the release date as well. You can check out the entire article here.
Transformers: War for Cybertron is ready to roll out June 22. Activision revealed the release date for its first original game based on the morphing robot series this week in a trailer offering a glimpse at the game's multiplayer modes.
While Activision has produced a number of Transformers games since it first acquired the license four years ago, those titles were directly based on the animated series or Michael Bay's big-budget feature films. War for Cybertron takes a different tack, portraying an event often referenced but rarely depicted in the brand's various treatments: the Autobot-Decepticon civil war on the robots' home planet.
Set for launch on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, DS, and PC, War for Cybertron will feature two story arcs, one with the heroic Autobots trying to save the planet, the other with the Decepticons in destructive pursuit of power. In addition to single-player action, the game features online co-op play, as well as head-to-head multiplayer modes. A Wii version of the game is also planned, but carries the title Transformers: Cybertron Adventures..........

IGN has updated their website with a little blurb concerning two pre-order exclusive characters in the upcoming Transformers video game - War For Cybertron. We already know of one - if you pre-order the game from Gamestop, you get a code to unlock Shockwave. Now if you pre-order the game off of Amazon.com, you get a code to unlock Demolishor. Demolisher looks very similar to his Armada form. Check each character's CGI below.
