Games: Transformers Online Games

There are quite a few Transformers Online Games at the moment. The Big Daddy of them all is Heavy Metal War on Seibertron.com. The reason that this is the big Daddy is that Ryan, who runs Seibertron, created this many years back. Heavy Metal War has a big following and I have been playing for quite some time too.

I just updated my profile on Seibertron too. It still said that I was eagerly awaiting Botcon 2003. That was last time I attended Botcon. I have a picture from that trip over on The BenSpark.

The other game that is online is one for the movie called Battle for the AllSpark. You can sign up and enter the fray and battle other users in your chosen robot mode. Choose carefully some robots are much tougher than others. Apparently mine is easily beaten.

The third game is sponsored by Chevy and the robots that are made from the Chevy cars and Chevy trucks are awesome. They are some really sweet designs. Unfortunately the game still has some quirks and does not work properly at this time. But it should be up soon so you can Spar with other bots. The title of that one is Build Your Own Autobot.

In other Transformers news Joost the new online TV viewing site. I don’t have a special invite yet but I will be getting one from Mag22. How is my invite from Mag22 from Anything and Everything transformers related? Because Joost will be airing classic G1 cartoons as well as G.I. Joe cartoons. That rocks!

And some more cool Transformers news. I scored 4 tickets to the Charity event that is being held on June 28th. It is a screening of the Transformers Movie. And this is what I will be getting from the event…

First I will be getting the satisfaction of knowing that 100% of my donation will be going to one of these 4 charities.

* Adoption Rhode Island
* The Autism Project of Rhode Island
* Hasbro Children’s Hospital
* Rhode Island Community Food Bank

And I also end up with

* Admission to the premiere party which includes hors d’oeuvres and dinner
* beginning at 6:15 pm, movie at 7:30 pm
* Special souvenir ticket
* TRANSFORMERS gift bag

That is so sweet! I cannot wait to go. With all my online transformers Gameplay and watching Transformers on Joost, thanks to Mag 22 of Anything and Everything I will be all set for the movie premiere night.

I also have 1 ticket for the BotCon screening of the movie. That was also a charity donation. I just don’t know when that movie is being shown, will it be before or after the other premiere or at the same time. I may have some extra tickets.

Also don’t miss free comic book day this Saturday. Here is a message from my friend Chirs at Double Midnight Comics in Manchester, NH.
