Some fun news for fans of mobile games. Fellow Seibertronian Jon Bailey (the Honest Trailer voice guy) is lending his voice to Optimus Prime in several more game related projects. He is the voice of Optimus Prime in the Top War X Transformers mobile game, for instance. That game is available for free download and we posted a guide for those interested below.
But before that, here is a trailer for the Mobile Legends Bang Bang X Transformers event where you can also hear Jon Bailey as Prime (mainly grunting). Plus, it's Jason Marchona who voices Megatron.

While we have had one or two before, there hasn't been a Transformers themed monopoly game available at retail for a while now. Hasbro is of course rectifying that. Fellow Seibertronian JTPrime17 has found a listing with image for a new Monopoly: Transformers Edition on the mobile Walmart site. We learn that the is UPC: 630509993444 and that it will feature the evergreen designs, which makes sense given the name of these designs. You can see the small image below. No idea on price or release date. If you ever see it in stores, let us know!
