The image to the left was posted on TFW2005 that teases some of the future plans for Transformers video games. The only reason suspicious might be an April Fools' joke is the reference to a "Transformers Movie 5" which would not be out until 2016 at the earliest. Despite that small blip the rest reads as likely so going with not a April Fools prank. The main bits of points is "Transformers: Angry Birds Go!" and Transformers: Spirits Rising. I assume the Angry Birds would be much like Star Wars Angry Birds, a crossover that Hasbro has enjoyed success with so mixing it with Transformers really falls under the "surprised they had not done this already" category. Chances are the console reference to "Transformers Movie 4" is the already announced Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark tie-in game. Other than a list of titles and platforms, no other details on release date, type of play or other details are available.

Finally got around to playing catch-up on the latest in Transformers toy news. Upcoming toys include Capbots (transforming plastic ball caps), tease of the Beast Hunters line, look at Kre-O combiners, discount info on TF Prime toys, new 3rd party toy, and TF video game info. Also have video reviews Fall of Cybertron Grimlock & Starscream, MP Sideswipe & Red Alert, and more. This will be the last link fest of 2012 but next year is looking great with lots of great Hasbro toys in the pipeline including Transformers Prime Beast Hunters, more Fall of Cybertron and Generations toys. Third party makers have hinted at around 3 separate combiners (not Aerielbots, Dinobot combiner, and Throttlebot combiner) along with a bunch of more G1 homages. Takara has MP Soundwave coming and who knows what other creative twists they have in store of us. Over all next year is looking very good for Transformers and that is not even counting Transformer 4 that should start filming in late Spring.

Yep plastic baseball caps that turn into Captimus Prime and Capticon. Still annoyed missed out the the Nike Shoeformers (plastic shoes that transformed) so went ahead and ordered without waiting on review like normally do. They are available now for around $26.
