Not strictly convinced its a full-blown ARG, but if it happens to be one, it should be noted that there is some amount of artifacting/irregularly patterned dithering in the downloadable logo. Which is somewhat unusual given that its essentially all solid color regions. GIF is usually pretty good about doing regions of solid color without noise. Have not actually done any analysis, but I imagine magic wand tool in photoshop with tolerance set to minimum might show us if there's anything significant there.

Checked with magic wand, nothing really, but there are some abnormalities.. Image:



See what you think? :/

Yeah I got around to checking myself and it looks like it's just noise. There's some patterning on the right face of the cube if you turn continguous and antialias off, but certainly nothing that spells out a code word or anything.

If this goes somewhere, I will be very happy. It could honestly be a decent ARG, from what I know about the movie's plot.

Well, this has been officially Joystiq'd..

I am certainly hoping for a full fledged ARG here. That way if the movie is disappointing, I can always have this to make all my Transformers dreams come true.

Edit: Wow, I had no idea that Steven Spielberg was exec. producing. This gives me even more hope that something good will come of this.

wasn't the Beast an Artificial Intelligence ARG? Steven Spielberg should be somewhat familiar with the genre.

There are some pattern to the dots, but I don't know if it's artifacts that happened during the creation of the logo, or something else. Here is the image with one palette color enhanced.

Not sure if it matters, but here's the sound from the trailer when it was showing "Sector Seven Org" and "takara83".

It appears that sectorseven.org has a secure shell server running, on standard port 22. However, I can't seem to connect due to being rejected on lack of public key basis. That garbage on the left *could* be live data, I've been trace routing some of the ips.

Also, upon further investigation it appears the server is running remote protocol version 1.99, and remote software version Server-VII.
Server-VII is absolutely a reference to sector seven (it's nonsensical otherwise). Must be a way in through here.

Well the Solaris-esque junk on the left is exactly that, junk. I can't see anything else to do with the flash app.

The IP Addresses

I work for a major Telecommunications company and recognize some of the IPs that scroll on the left as being owned by my company, they are mostly dynamic IPs assigned to Home-DSL customers. Its grabbing the IPs from a logfile of users connecting to the sectorseven.org website. Whether or not its grabbing them live or replaying them from an archived logfile I haven't figured out yet. I guess if I spent some time staring at it for awhile it would have to loop eventually if its just a replay of a log. But my guess is its live.
