I'd be very interested in checking out that book.

[Sabrblade]

That timeline is similar to the one Game Informer showed us.

[Doubledealer93]

i want this. badly.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

I need this now. Give it to me now. Tell me how to get this now. Inform me of more now. Gimme Gimme.

I am also very interested in that booklet. The artwork of the weapons and the information it gives. I hope this isn't a future con exclusive or a $300 kit.

[El Duque]

I doubt there's anything in the booklet that wasn't in Gameinformer's month long series of articles, but ya never know.

[Smokescreen85]

I love the Energon Bar! Hungry like Grimlock? Awesome!

The booklet looks pretty cool, too.

[DreamersImperial]

I doubt there's anything in the booklet that wasn't in Gameinformer's month long series of articles, but ya never know.

Actually there's concept art of all 5 Combaticons and on the next page there's Bruticus. There's a few other things there, too. But yeah, not much new over what GI covered.

[It Is Him]

You need to be a member of the press to receive one of these care packages. I recall getting one at my publication leading up to the first movie. It came with a leader class Optimus, probably a copy of the trailer, and I don't remember what else.

[BeastProwl]

Can someone air drop this on my roof?

[CC-Kallen]

Oh my GOD, do I want this kit. O_O

[mikeyfuzz]

Oh man, I want more TF branded food.

[MINDVVIPE]

killer, I want those.

[First-Aid]

A true survival kit would include a catheter bag so you don't have to get up to pee when you are playing the game

That being said, I want this. I want it NOW

[Down_Shift]

I doubt there's anything in the booklet that wasn't in Gameinformer's month long series of articles, but ya never know.

Actually there's concept art of all 5 Combaticons and on the next page there's Bruticus. There's a few other things there, too. But yeah, not much new over what GI covered.

And how, might I ask, do you know that?

If it is true, IGN or GameInformer will be posting pics shortly as they would have recieved the same promotional kit as this.

Probably referring to this story on Tformers, it appears to be the same booklet. They got their's from an end of the year press mailer, we should have ours shortly. Not sure if it includes the Survival kit or not. I would guess no since Tformers didn't mention it or post any images of it.

[Heavy B]

I want a dozon energon bars and a fridge full of soundwave. MAKE IT HAPPEN HASBRO

[Megatron Wolf]

it would be awesome if this were a pre-order item, but it wont be we'll get stuck wit useless DLC crap like always. Pre-order exclusives suck these days.

Here is the text version of what Matt Tieger wrote in this booklet:

Fellow Cybertronians,

Ever since releasing War for Cybertron, High Moon Studios has been hard at work creating THE Transformers experience for 2012: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. The strong early response to our announcement for our new game has been really inspiring to the team, and to say "thanks" we're proud to present you with this early look.



Our team is beyond passionate about Transformers. Our #1 goal for Fall of Cybertron is to continue to expand the richness of the license for our fans and gamers of all types. We're accomplishing our goal through a compelling original story, driven by returning and all-new fan-favorite characters to deliver an epic Transformers gaming experience like never before.

This isn't an Autobot story. This isn't a Decepticon story. This is a Cybertron story, set in the darkest hours of the most legendary rivalry of all time! The Transformers' home world is dying, and players will experience just how desperately each side is fighting to save their home planet Cybertron - and themselves - from extinction.

We can't wait to show you more in 2012, and hope this holds you over in the meantime.

Roll Out!

Matt "Tieg" Tieger

they named him slug? goddamnit just use his real name, slag was a bad word in beast wars this isnt beast wars. So whats next they wont use the word scrap in a name cause its a "bad word" in TF:PRIME?

It has nothing to do with it being a bad word in Beast Wars. It's because it's a pejorative term for slut in some parts of the world.

It has nothing to do with it being a bad word in Beast Wars. It's because it's a pejorative term for slut in some parts of the world.

Namely in Britain.

So, yeah, it is a bad word. Not to the U.S., but to the UK.

Where does one obtain this kit?

You know... I must say....

Awhile ago someone had suggested a war for Cybertron type movie with similar animation and vehicle type/alt modes we've seen in the game. i immediately shot it down thinking it would never work for the big screen. After seeing all the art work, the new trailer and now this "survival kit" i must admit...

I was wrong. 100% wrong. This could work very well on the big screen.

For some reason War for Cybertron didn't impress me much, but Fall of Cybertron is. Alot. Animation is stellar, and concept art is gorgeous. I really hope the game play lives up to the rest of what we've seen. I'd really love to have one of these kits.
