TFLAMB is reporting that Detroit is ramping UP for the arrival of the Transformers 4 production crew who are building long ramp on highway I-375 interchange at Jefferson Avenue.

Hasbro today announced that it has signed publishing agreements with becker&mayer and IDW Publishing, and reached agreement in principal with Little, Brown Books for Young Children, to create and publish collectible gift books that blend unique storytelling with exclusive art based on the TRANSFORMERS and MY LITTLE PONY brands.
