Simon Furman has updated his blog once again, to fill us all in on some details about his work in the UK Transformers Magazine.

Rather than dipping back into the past to explore what happened before the All Spark arrived on Earth, ‘Starscream’s Brigade’ picks up on events immediately after the movie’s climactic battle between Megatron’s Decepticons and Optimus Prime’s Autobots, and features a titanic struggle against foes the Autobots thought already defeated.

Furman has also posted up a link of the cover of Transformers UK #7, which you can see by clicking here.

According to Diamond Select Distributors release list, IDW Publishings Beast Wars Sourcebook #3, will also be released today, and will retail for US$6.99.

The Transformers Movie has added another record to it's seemingly ever growing list, only this time it is a record that Paramount are sure not to want;

According to torrentfreak.com, Transformers was the most downloaded Film of 2007.

Torrentfreak.com reports that the Transformers Movie was downloaded a whopping 569,259 times from a single torrent site alone. Meaning the actual number is likely to be much much higher.

The Transformers Movie was downloaded 60,000 times more than the 2nd most downloaded film of the year "Knocked Up".

Seibertron.com would like to stress that it in no way endorses or supports torrent sharing, or illegal downloading of any kind in any way, shape or form.

IDW Publishing going back to the very beginning?

As we earlier reported here, Simon Furman has released some information about an upcoming series that he himself calls "epic".

It would seem as though more details have been leaked by none other than IDW Publishing Editor in Chief Chris Ryall; who has this to say in response to questions from Seibertron's own Grifter Prime:

Q: By the way, not really knowing that I might get an answer, but any BIG Transformer stories or news this year coming up?

A: Biiig things for the TFs this year, yeah, something no one knows about yet.

Q: The dead universe? Or is it the story that goes WAY back in the TF History?

A: Neither one, actually. Although we're also going to do the TF origins this year, too. That one will be called "The Thirteen."

Ryall also preceded to provide this link, which will take you to the "Swear Allegiance" teaser Image that we earlier reported here.

One could assume that the TF Origins series would be referring to the IDW Publishing version of the Original 13, but as yet it cannot yet be confirmed.
