Hasbro Inc have updated Transformers.com with a release regarding news reported by fan sites. The article, which you van read in full below, states that as the news has not come from official sources, that people should treat them as rumours. The date of this release comes on the heals of the Transformers Animated press packs being sent out as well as recent reports on the Transformers Classics 2.0 figures. Since the Animated news has come direct from the studio producing the series, the most likely news to which Hasbro are referring is the Transformers Classics line. More on this in the coming weeks

"The coming year is going to be very exciting for Hasbro’s boys properties. We realize that fans are anticipating 2008 as much as we are, and that speculation on our line is a large part of the excitement. Fans of Hasbro’s boys brands may be noticing some information circulating on the web. While you may be tempted to believe that this information is accurate, we want to remind our fans, that unless product information or images are posted on an official Hasbro brand site, brand Q&A, or released by Hasbro’s Corporate Communications team, the information is not authorized and therefore not official. We do not want to get consumer hopes up when rumors turn out to be unfounded.

We can’t wait to share great information, images and products with fans of all ages at the appropriate time as determined by Hasbro and, as appropriate, our licensors."
