Sector Seven Update: New Password is FWIFFO

Thanks to the flash file on the new Transformers MySpace page, a new Sector Seven password has been revealed as FWIFFO (not case sensitive). This new passwords brings up an entirly different console with new icons, images and access.

Starting in the top left, there is a harddrive icon. Currently that can't be opened. To the right of that is five boxes, only the first on called "surveillance array 1" that shows someone;s lab. I guess this is from the Sector 7 facility working on Megatron. I like the cute "This laboratory has worked 52 days without a safety breach" sign. Currently the images are not showing anything except the set.

On the right of the screen is 3 external harddrive icons which currently don't open. Along the bottom are five new icons. The Triforce icon (for Zelda fans) shows the Sector 7 building schematics with only the first five floors viewable. The second icon brings up back to the email, only lots of new email. The third icon and 4th biohazard icon are not accessible. The yield icon brings up a new video.

There are now two email boxes for security. One is the "work stuff" box that contains the emails regarding the Agent X security breach and Hugo Weaving as Megs announcement. There is also a new email to Agent Powers that covers the discovery of a security breach using black-hats and root kits in addition to a backdoor password to Agent Snup's computer with concern there are other backdoor passwords. Currently Snup is in custody under suspicion of being an ally to Agent X by Agent Simmons.

In addition to the work stuff folder is now a "informants" folder that has close to 30 emails in it with various subjects (some matrix related it seems) but unknown senders. The one of significance seems to be "rabbit" who comes across as possibly Bumblebee. In an email from 3/1, reveals that N.B.E.'s name is Optimus Prime and "the world now divided into two factions, autobots and decepticons." Also he writes that Barricade being in Nevada with his "to enslave and punish" slogan. Finally he says that the decedent of Archibald Witwicky, Sam, needs to be detained as has the key to stop the Decepticons. Basically the email lays out the entire plot of the movie.

Another email reveals that NBE One is named Megatron and must remain contained. An email from "Daniel" on 3/15 speaks of Starscream, "I have been in the service of key individuals in Los Angeles to portray his vocal qualities in video game form and my voice will be transmitted all over the world this summer." A hint to the identity of who will voice Starscream perhaps? Other emails are claims of having more information, warnings, simply blank, or saying that weapons research should continue to protect humanity.

The new video is a quad screen view of Dr. Howard as she tries to send a message to Optimus Prime on her laptop with security stopping her dated 3/26/07. One box is an over the shoulder view that shows her working on her laptop. Two others shows a close-up on her mouth and eyes with text indicating detection of high stress levels and the computer apparently detecting her attempt to communicate with the last box relaying text showing how its trying to stop the attempt. Overall, for a short video, lot of stuff thrown on the screen.

To summarize, the game continues with Sector Seven informants providing a more complete picture of the players involved in the Transformers threat. Sector 7 sees the TFs as a danger and makes no distinction between the factions while Dr. Howard and allies do.

Update: Apparently the "Informants" mailbox is composed of emails sent by Transfans to video game related email addresses (not sure where they got them from). If true, makes you wonder how they will incorporate this into the Sector 7 story.

  1. WOW WOW WOW!!

    Remember, remember the 27th of March...um yeah. Wow, today is nothing short of new transformers info and I'm loving it! I love this disinformation campaign that sector seven is running and I love Agent X. If you haven't subscribed to his podcast via itunes (it's free) you should. And speaking of which, Agent X sent out another message today, March 27 warning us of Sector 7 and calling for us to put down the video games, turn off the tv and get our asses up and stop sector 7. Check it out. So far, I'm a super big fan of this marketing campaign. Talk about synergy!!

  2. You're wrong about the Informant emails - those are the emails that we as followers of the game have been sending in to the various email addresses presented to us. Two of them are even mine! :D

    The ones from "Pete" and "Agent P"

    This means that Agent Powers has the emails sent to Agent X. Powers = X?

  4. the 'first seven' website doesn't work for some reason, the 7 cubes appear and the sounds play but when click the 7th cube, the word 'SEVEN' appears but doesnt change when clicked, the list of the original seven doesnt appear. does anyone know what else lies beyond the 7th cube?

    prime & megs look awesome, the images taken from the new myspace page, prime's mouth plate isn't fixed, it retracts when not in battle mode but at least it plays some part. bummed about welker not given the part of megatron. anyone know a link to his (welker's) official webpage to see if he has mentioned anything about it?

  5. SPOILER!!!........................























    just read up on the second prequel comic, turns out it interlinks with the movie, which is kinda neat. not an integral part but useful for ppl who buy the comics. anyway, end of comic 1 > megatron sets off after allspark after crushing bumblebee. bumblebee gets fixed n sets off after him. megatron nearly caught up with allspark when they reach earth, megs loses contact with in earth atmosphere (before civilisation), begins to burn up and lands on ice in arctic circle. his weight causes ice holding him t crack n hee sinks into icy waters, sending him into shock and causing statis lock... leads to been deactivated when found by grandad witwicky. this is where ties in with movie. however, comic shows grandad witwicky in hospital been interrogated but apparantly blind, and obsessed with sribbling symbols on paper (those implanted by megs no doubt). interrogaters decide he did see something so set out t find it. they find megs a year later which causes one of them to go similarly mad (ends up talking to Megatron's inert body).

    In 1902 word is radioed up from Colorado of the discovery of a mysterious object with similar markings as Captain Witwicky's drawings — the Allspark.

    A century later in 2003, the Hubble Telescope detects something landing on Mars. In a conference between high-ranking individuals they confirm it is another Cybertronian, and plan to respond when it makes its move — as they look at pictures of what appears to be Bumblebee's protoform mode.

    like i said, not vital to the film but good and useful how they've interlinked the two, i.e. can read/see and follow one without needing to see the other... chances are anyone who will read/see one will definately see/read the other anyway!!

  6. no spoilers here.

    the 3rd issue will detail Sector7's origin. the 4th issue will follow bumblebee on earth (at one point, events on Mars that were briefly glimpsed in the teaser trailer will be shown).

  11. Hey anonymous

    press the number 7 key when you get to the seventh page to display the first seven and the email address.

  12. It may be entirely possible that the next password could be pulled out of the prequel book 'Ghosts Of Yesterday'. Reading through it, it's already given up a couple of interesting choices.

    Ghost 1 (or 'one')
    Ice Man
    Gamma Six Alpha (spoken by 'Walker, Samuel L., Captain commanding')
    Zero Nine Eleven Two Delta Whiskey Bravo (spoken by 'Walker, Samuel L., Captain commanding')

  13. Shawn,

    New updates on the FW password... a new trailer labeled "disinformation" and a new security feed.

  14. It should be noted that all of those symbols at the bottom are Zelda symbols, and all from Ocarina of Time. They are in order, the Triforce, The Light Medallion, the Shadow Medallion and the Zora's Sapphire. I don't know if this helps but it's something.
