You may remember that not too long ago Hasbro posted a mysterious video which had us all speculating whether the teaser video is for a mobile game. Apparently not, according to Hasbro Spain. The video was a teaser for an exclusive event that is to take place in Spain to celebrate Transformers: The Last Knight.
Yesterday, the official website for the aforementioned event went live. Thanks to my fellow staff member Black Convoy, we have it translated:
“They surround us, they form part of our lives, and now it is the time to put them on the place they deserve
to accomplish an important mission because they are the key to save human race and winning the final battle.
The time has come to fight and build the definitive Optimus Prime together.”
The above is the statement from the new video (posted after the jump), on the official website. The site elaborates more on the mysterious message. Transformers fans in Spain can donate everyday items which they usually discard (mobile phones, calculators and other electronics) to create a “statue” of Optimus Prime. The shield will be made separately and a poll is open to determine which color the shield should be.
2005 Boards Member Arvegtor was the first to inform us of the new info. Stay tuned with TFW2005 as we bring you updates to this cool event.

It's interesting since this seems part of something bigger, and it has total Hasbro support. We will keep you updated for any mayor news.

I feel sorry for Spain, as I'm sure TF fans there would much rather have some sort of TF celebration or convention than whatever this is.

Sounds like a cool, cheap, positive image mainstream appeal marketing tool.
A good idea.

Don't give a care about TF events in Spain

I made the same mistake putting so much money into it just for the sake of getting a 4 star soundwave and speeding up my weak progression system that's what I hate about these mobile games. 1 year after you get so attached to it, they come out with something new. Console games deserve more attentions because that's where many of the audience/gamers come from, instead all this is done to put a smile on the kids face and to keep people from getting bored on their phones.

It's neutral thing about mobile games but with transformers mobile games they don't have good luck on staying around very long my reason for not paying money transformers earth wars game haveing fun with it but if it ends somehow like previous transformers games I feel bad for people who did put money in it to play get better characters it's very close to mobile strike but with transformers
StellarJet
and that's it? weird…I would find it surprising, all this publicity for just a fan-made statue…
Arvegtor
The Youtube version of this video includes a website (which either only works in Spain or isn't ready yet) – Transformers – El Optimus Prime Definitivo
Update: The website is active now. It appears they're going to build a "Definitive Optimus Prime" statue out of materials donated by fans (small objects, like phones, calculators and so on) and there's also a poll for some small details (only 1 question currently – the shield's colour).

I have a feeling that it's the same event but for a different region. So, it's entirely possible what you say will turn out to be true.

I wonder if this might be related to the Australian Transformers facebook teaser from a couple weeks back for an upcoming movie promotion from Paramount (it's a region locked facebook page that appears to only be viewable by browsers in Australia)… and if it is, how awesome would it be if this was like a coordinated global promotion, and I wouldn't be surprised if some other countries also join in on it.
I don't know what this promotion is, as Paramount are keeping very tight lipped about this after almost 3 weeks since the first tease, so hopefully we get a proper announcement soon. The suspense is killing me.
StellarJet
Good to see Spain finally trying to get more involved with the TF market/fandom (now it's only a matter of waiting and see what on Cybertron they are planning to do… )
The Mad Demobot
Poo. So much for it being a game announcement. We still have until tomorrow at PAX East.

I kind of liked the age of extinction mobile game.
Moy
I would love to see Decepticons from revenge of the fallen again. If this isn't a game I'm curious what it may be? A VR experience perhaps?
TF Bumblebee
Still curious what may go on tomorrow. Something might actually turn up…
combinerlover
