After many years going back-and-forth, Paramount Pictures London has agreed to host a new theme park in Kent with multiple attractions including Transformers.
“London is set to get its own version of [Disney Land] and it’s led by the film studio Paramount Pictures. That means selfies with Don Corleone from The Godfather, saying hi to Bumblebee from Transformers and checking out Tom Cruise’s stunt locations from Mission: Impossible. The plans for the park have been in the works for a while but came to a halt some years ago over disagreements on film rights”, states Metro UK.
The park will also feature a massive 2000-seat theater for Paramount movies and more than 50 rides based on various properties not limited to Paramount franchises.
You can check out several concept images attached with this news post. However, the park won’t open until 2024.

On December 19th, 2014, Hasbro released a brand new mobile game based on their [then] upcoming cartoon series Transformers: Robots In Disguise. The app may have not gotten a massive mainstream popularity, but it was a treasure trove of information for the fans of the show and the toyline. With frequent updates, the app gave animation model renders, 3D toy images and plot information well ahead of their official releases. Furthermore, the game was completely free of charge to download and featured zero in-app purchases and micro-transactions; something that is extremely rare in this day and age.
Alas, June 2019 is the sunset month of this wonderful mobile game app. Until June 30th, fans can download the app from Apple App Store and Google Play Store for iPhones/iPads/iPod Touch and Android devices respectively.
Transformers: Robots In Disguise mobile game received a quiet yet highly satisfied following thanks to the complete lack of micro-transactions and the offline nature of the game. The developer Marmalade Game Studio ensured that timely updates were pushed to each season of the show, updating with new information and characters to keep the fans satisfied. Thanks to its success, a spinoff game for Apple TV was also produced in 2016.
We are yet to see another app similar to RID. Although there was a plan for Transformers: The Last Knight which incorporated Tiny Turbo Changers, the idea was scrapped during its initial phase.
We thank Hasbro and Marmalade Game Studio for this outstanding app and hope to see another app in near future.

Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner attended the 35th Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference in New York, to say a few words about his company. He had lots of nice things to say about Transformers.
Mr. Goldner stated:
“We partner with Paramount to make a major feature length films. The most notable one recently was Bumblebee. It came out last year and had great success in re-engaging fans, families and kids all over the world. [We are] very happy with the result; not just here but in China. Re-engaging our fans which leads to this full blueprint activation.
When people ask me what do I mean by ‘activating the blueprint?’, it really means that we’re bringing to life that brand on any number of dimensions. So, whether it’s our Backflip Studios mobile gaming studio in Boulder, Colorado making our Transformers: Earth Wars mobile game or whether it’s t-shirts or comic books or bringing to life a location based entertainment experience in Asia, we’re able to bring this brand to life across all elements of the blueprint.”
He further stated “For 2019, a number of new entertainment initiatives for new consumer demographics” and displayed the release dates of the said initiatives as a slide:

Transformers news, often being true to their name, can sometimes be more than meets the eye. It can turn up on the most unlikely of places. As is the case with this particular news; which turned up on a business related news article.
Hasbro is actively in development of a fully fledged theatrical production studio for animation. The studio is set out to develop multiple movies in the foreseeable future.
Together with Boulder Media Limited, this independent production studio is described as “a truly unique studio and academic facility with stand-out identity and world-wide appeal. Hollywood production would truly be happening in the centre of Dún Laoghaire – with regularity”.
The studio will house up to 650 staff members, which is roughly half the size of Pixar Animation Studio.
Hasbro is planning to use the studio for a number of theatrical movies on a long-term repeating cycle. We believe that movies such as Transformers, My Little Pony, G.I. Joe and Power Rangers will receive forefront attention.
Though planned to locate in Ireland; the home of Boulder Media, the plan has already hit a snag with Dún Laoghaire Council declining the use of old Stena Line terminal which is unused since 2015. You can read more about it via Irish Times.
Earlier this week, Viacom (parent company of Paramount Pictures) president and CEO Bob Bakish attended the 47th Annual J.P. Morgan Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference, to outline new achievements by the company.
Mr. Bakish stated that Transformers: Bumblebee did incredibly well even on the 2nd quarter of 2019. It may be due to the Home Release sales which are happening right now. He also highlighted the massive loss incurred by Transformers: The Last Knight and even going as far as ridiculing the movie by stating that the 5th movies was “a quote unquote – Transformers movie“.
“Even in 2019 [we] had strong performance from a series of titles. Bumblebee; which was the most recent Transformers movie is a great example of Jim [Gianopulos]’s ability to reset a franchise. The last “Transformers” film we probably lost over a $100 million. Bumblebee is a better movie: the story was better, the characters were better. It was done in a more fiscally responsible way and we’re making nice money on it.”
While he did not elaborate much regarding the future of the franchise, 2019 was told to be a quiet year for Paramount with majority of major films planned for 2020 and beyond; which starts this October. We do believe that if we hear something about the next Transformers movie, it would be around the final quarter of this year if not sooner.
It has been a while since we last heard from the China exclusive Transformers: Nezha animated series. Speaking to the gathered investors, Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner shared some additional info about the new cartoon.
“We’re very happy to be in partnership with CCTV, on a television episodic program that will go on air later this year in prime time on national television called Transformers: Nezha. It’s based on a combination of Transformers and Chinese mythology, but the entertainment looks so good that broadcasters around the world are starting to say, “this could be something we’d take out globally” and we’re very excited about continuing to build that relationship with CCTV”.
There are several key points to take away from the above statement:
