Between May 22 and July 10, fans can take the quiz online at www.tastykaketransformersmovie.com to learn if they are an Autobot or Decepticon and for the chance to win Transformers-themed prizes, Tastykake snacks and more. One grand prize winner will receive a movie-inspired prize pack, including a laptop computer, tablet, Bluetooth speakers, gaming console, four tickets to see the film, two Transformers voice changer helmets and a Decepticon or Autobot toy from Hasbro’s 2017 product line, assorted gift cards and free Tastykake treats. Seventy weekly winners will receive other exciting prizes, including Tastykake snack cakes, movie tickets and Transformers branded items.

“Bringing together the iconic deliciousness of Tastykake and the entertaining excitement of the Transformers movie franchise is an exciting prospect for both brands,” said Brent Bradshaw, Flowers Foods’ vice president of cake marketing. “Aligning with the theatrical release of Transformers: The Last Knight is a perfect match to Tastykake’s fun positioning and is sure to be a fan favorite.”
