    Well, if you look at the console logs there's also a small text reference to something called "megaman hangar". Doesn't the name of that hangar sound half-familiar? (and no, I'm not talking about the megaman videogames ;)  )

    also, looking at the insect buttons there are previous Transformers that are modeled after or have a likeness to the insect in their names. Example

    Wasp = Waspinator
    Scorpion = Skorponok
    Beetle = Bumblebee was a VW Beetle in the cartoons
    Ant = That damn ant robot.....I'm not sure what it was.
    Spider = Arachnofemalebot from that silly Beast Wars cartoon
    Mosquito = ????????
    Moth = The Ticks sidekick???

    In these marketing things the smallest detail is usually the largest when you figure it out. Help me out people!!

    Sure, but count the number of bugs...now count the number of decepticons set to be in the film. Its the same number, so I think that each bug is supposed to represent "a suspected target" or Decepticon.
    Now I'm going to go out on a limb here on some of these, but I think it fits-
    Scorpion- Scorponok (duh)
    Ant- Frenzy (smallest out of the bunch)
    Mosquito-Megatron (seeing as how he was portrayed in the leaked script)
    Wasp-Starscream (kinda a relation to Waspinator in posession, but the F-22 could be seen as synonomous with a wasp if you think about it)
    Moth-Blackout (by default, the moth flys more like the helicoptor than the wasp)
    Beetle and Spider thing (I dunno if its a spider or not)- Jury is out, but Im betting that each one is supposed to represent either Barricade or Bonecrusher. Maybe the Beetle is bonecrusher b/c its armored, and the spider is Barricade b/c it "hunts" other bugs and Barricade is portrayed as a hunter-seeker.

    In the upper-right region of the "desktop", open the third "red light folder", then click on the image file inside. Weapons.

    Screen must be cutting off, because all I get is one white folder, and two red light ones.

    What a screwed up site.

    EDIT: Yes, it does cut it off. Your screen's size must be close to miniscule to get all of it. How incredibly suck tabular.

    For those who can't see it, here it is.

    Thank you. TSFC. Because it appears as though the furthest right text box on the "desktop" records all of the movements relating to anything on the screen. Clicks, icon dragging etc show up over there with their position on signified by numbers like grid points or something.

    The weapon looks familiar...looks like it might have some design similarities with Scorponok's tail from what we saw in the trailer.

    Thanks! I think I clicked on every thing and all I got was the Mr. Powers video, I thought of C&C as well. How sweet would it be to have a Transformers C&C style game! Speaking of Power it also reminded me of the Captain Power show and video missions.

    The main body/rear of the gun is a 50 cal and the little site on top is a real site too called a HALO site. It also apears that there are cables or hoses that lead to the weapon from either a power supply or pressurized gas tank. I think these things were mounted on those crazy black dune buggy things we've seen pictures of. I think the weapon either sends an electric pulse to destroy the nano bots or whatever it is that keeps them functioning OR is used to stun them so they can be brought back and studied.

    Keep in mind that this is essentially a remote desktop you're supposed to be viewing. To open the drives/folders, you have to double click on them, or at least I did. Just single clicking (which you tend to do with web-based stuff) does nothing.

    Only the items highligted in red currently work, as far as I could tell.

    The PDF document is weird. It looks like parts of an agreement giving Sector Seven the rights to make a TransFormers movie and video game.

    Looks like the harpoon gun used on a Snow Speeder on Hoth, too.


    So far, the site's no "I Love Bees" - but it has promise.

    It's an agreement document stating that Takara has given Sector 7 the rights to produce a TF Movie video game.

    It's already been confirmed for the Wii, DS, and I believe GameCube.

    Somewhat interesting but to be honest there isn't enough content at the moment to keep it interesting.
    Mr Powers shows us an vague infrared blob, we can look at a sketch of a harpoon gun, read some stupid contract thing and download the logo. So what? There's nothing there to keep someone interested. I'm certainly not puzzling over the mysteries of Sector 7, dieing to know more.

    Yeah, but Sector Seven wouldn't actually be making the games, right? They're a fictitious entity from the movie script, aren't they?
