Originally posted online at IGN as a download only the new TV spots can be found here.

This is Michael Bay's Transformers Movie first 2 TV Spots. The first one intitled "Destiny" has been seen rampantly on Television, the second one, intitled "Hidden" has had less exposure.

Anyways, now we see some mindblowing work by ILM. And despite the casting of Weaving as Megatron, my faith in this movie has been some what restored. Even if the The Bots and Cons look like bugs.

Onto the Video game, as some of you may know, Activision has secured the rights for the official adaptation of the movie onto Video game form. There is 3 Developers developing the game, Traveler's Tale(PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, PC), Savage Entertainment(PSP), and Vicarious Visions(DS) for a release in early June if store listings are correct. Recently Activision made the game's site go live, it can be found here. Where videos, and screen shots(Some from last gen consoles and this gen consoles) can be found. Oddly enough, despite Weaving being casted in the Movie as Megatron, former Megatron Voice Actor, Frank Welker will take the role. However we aren't sure if Frank Welker's Megatron will be the only one in the game.

Enjoy hopefully some new knowledge, and discuss!

It's criminal how Welker is so overshadowed by the characters he plays. He's voiced practically every major cartoon character post Mel Blanc, including anime characters, and barely anyone knows who he is. It's a damn shame.

After going to that game site. I feel like wanting to get that game. I'll play it on the Wii since I have one.

As for the commercial, yeah, I remember seeing it. I saw it while I was probably watching WB 33.

I know Frank Welker does the voice of Nibbler and other crazy animal sounds on Futurama. That man is talented. I can't imagine being able to use my voice and mouth purely for a living, and make a killing at it as well, since he is in EVERYTHING!

Im sorry, that struck me funny.
I have a dirty mind.

I doubt voice actors make as much as you think. It's a thankless talent. I'm sure someone here can elaborate.
