1. Through most of October, Paramount Pictures is holding a unique contest in which you can provide the great Optimus Prime with lines in the new movie.

3. Longtime TransFormers scribe Simon Furman discusses things in a panel of his own.
4. Next year’s BotCon is going to be held in an interesting venue… Hasbro, in Rhode Island!Hell, that might even be driving distance for me…
5. Hasbro also had a panel or two, addressing various things regarding the toys and stuff.Scramble City is going to be on the movie DVD? Awesome!Q-What are your feelings on Kiss-play?
   A-They can do what they want in their market, but it doesn’t make sense to Hasbro either. “Whatever works for them”.

   The BotCon TF Club also had a panel, as well as the TCC Newsletter.
