Transformers: Fall of Cybertron continues the story of the Autobots and the Decepticons and their bitter civil war, but changes and improves upon so many of the fundamental ideas that the developer considers the game a natural successor rather than a true sequel. We have over 12 pages of exclusive details on High Moon's new project, including extensive story and gameplay explanations, concept art, and dozens of screenshots. Whether you love the Transformers, or you just love hearing about the next great story-driven action game, Fall of Cybertron should be on your radar.

- Sequel to War for Cybertron, best TF game ever.
- Grimlock on the cover... Dinobots and animal forms confirmed?
- Screens and details over this month.

- Grimlock's gameplay is different from the usual. It's more akin to action games; you fight with a sword/shield, your only projectile is objects in the environment (including bad guys), and once you fill a rage meter - you may transform into a T-Rex and wreck shit.
- Dinobots are restated as absolutely not included in the multiplayer mode.
- You can play as the Combaticon gestalt, Bruticus. He's intended to make you feel powerful.
- You will also play as a few of the Combaticons, including the helicopter one. A helicopter transformer is new to the gameplay and may hint at multiplayer additions.
- Instead of two campaigns for each faction, you play one story mode that starts you as Autobots, then Decepticons, then back to Autobots at the end.
- There will be more emphasis on transformation choice, rather than 'walk section' - 'vehicle section' - 'walk section', etc.
- There will be weapons closer to TF lore than the last game merely translating FPS tropes (shotgun, rifle). Though those weapons are still there, exclusive abilities like Jazz's grapple hook will be included. Likely not in multiplayer though.
- Insecticons were hinted.

Grimlock isn't from cybertron.

[Kalyx triaD]

In modern canon he is, but was a tank. Now in this canon they're explaining his dino-mode after the game devs convinced Hasbro to let them come up with a story.

G1 canon is moot at this point. Official canon going forward is WfC, FoC, Exodus, and Prime (TV show).

[stultiloquy]

I want to play as Sixshot. <.<

[Kalyx triaD]

One of the Combaticons, Vortex, is a triple-changer. Take what you can get.

[BigDaddyCool]

Grimlock wasn't from cybertron. Liar.

[G]

I feel like canon wasn't a common word until recently, as it's all over the place. Either that, or the sites I visited since Al Gore invented the internet just didn't use it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Pretty common with us nerd people.

Pretty psyched for this, even though I'm not a huge Transformers fan. Seems to take inspiration from the comics, which is what I've mostly been into when it comes to transformers, so I like that.

Have to play War for Cybertron though.

[Kalyx triaD]

The multiplayer demo is still up and active.

[Kalyx triaD]

My latest blog post deals with the agonizing lack of multiplayer details. I do reiterate what's been revealed so far, and so far it looks damn good.

Helicopters, man. Fucking helicopters.

Insectibots?


Really?

[Fignuts]

I'm a casual trans fan, and even I know they are Insecticons. Come the fuck on, IGN.

So gay for this game right now. Not even funny.

Just started playing War for Cybertron, and I'm having a blast. Playing as Starscream is the fucking tits.

[Kalyx triaD]

I saw you on my live friends list. You're late to that party, but FoC looks to be just as good. Been on that demo any time I can.

[LoDownM]

Fucking love this game. Love "You got the touch" playing during the credits and having the characters dance to it :D

[Kalyx triaD]

I've very much enjoyed the competitive multiplayer. Had some great moments in it already. Battles should get even more interesting once people start unlocking the add-ons.

Using the helicopter body for my Scientist class. Called him Cyclonex.

[Fignuts]

I am mostly about the single player campaign with these games. Though the customization intrigues me enough to try multiplayer once I get FoC.

That said, I hope we get Thunderwing parts.

[The Destroyer]

I got it, but I'm working on finishing War For Cybertron first. Only just started on the Autobot campaign.

[Kalyx triaD]

Dinobots in FoC multiplayer this week. And in the future; Insecticons. The Beast Wars has come to Fall of Cybertron.
