The Transformers facebook page has uploaded a gallery of screenshots from next Fall's highly anticipated Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. Most if not all of these images appeared in Gameinformer's month long Transformers: FOC coverage, but just in case you missed them or didn't check out each article we've mirrored them below, enjoy.

If we get this Shockwave as a toy then I'll bump movie Shock off of my Classic shelf...hell, I may replace the whole shelf with FOC versions.

Please for the love of god give us an entire toy line based off these games, and even more important make sure they're price well no more of this $13-$15 for a $10 figure.

Well that's a plausible explanation why Grimlock has always had such a grudge against Shockwave. I always assumed it made sense with Grimlock representing a barbarian that his nemesis would be Shockwave, who could easily fill the role of evil wizard with all of his experimenting.

I note that Shockwave has both of his hands in this picture. I wonder if Shockwave losing his hand is going to have anything to do with Grimlock's escape.

OK, Somebody over at hasbro said this game would have an entire toyline to support it, am I correct?

I've read the same thing somewhere. Hope that's true.

The classics Starscream is good, but I love the WFC versions of the seekers and it's a shame they didn't make it into a toy with the others.
I play a lot of Escalation, has a story-like vibe when you're your favorite Transformer and fighting with others against hordes of enemies. So the designs are already my favorite.

Escalation was by far my fav game mode when I had the game. We made it so far in, or at least it seemed we did. I kicked all kinds of ass with Onslought. Mini-Nuke FTW!

First thing I thought when I saw the jet was Apeface.

Looks great. I just started plyaing War for Cybertron and look forward to this one. Is there a full list of characters yet for this new one?

It's Cyber Monday over on the Transformers facebook page, and they've posted another new screen shot from the highly anticipated Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. Check it out below.

It's Cyber Monday, and we've got a hot new screenshot from Transformers: Fall of Cybertron! With his Autobots on the brink of defeat, Optimus Prime overlooks their last bastion of hope and chance for survival: the Ark…

Hmm I never really saw it like that but it totally fits!

Everyone in WFC and FOC can make their hand a weapon so for this characters like Shockwave and Trailbreaker (if he ever were to show up) would be able to clap for the first time in Transformers history! :APPLAUSE:

Still hope they explain Optimus and Megatron's new bodies.

by **Cyhwuhx** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 3:10 pm

I still hope they'll explain why Cybertron suddenly has an atmosphere!

Ooh pretty, more daylight.

And for the record, I like the new OP's back much more. SO as long as that's all I'm staring at most of the time, I have no qualms with his new design, XD

What makes you say that? There were daytime levels in WFC (like Level 3 "Iacon Destroyed").

Shockwave could clap in Animated...

Why shouldn't it?

Well OK, it's the blue tinged sky that bothers me most. That's a rather specific atmospheric effect. It doesn't exclude day and night (which is simply a planet's rotation towards a star). WFC indicated they had day and night (including the lighting effects), but not as much an atmosphere that caused sky coloration (our sky is blue because of the nitrogen/oxygen mixture mostly). I'd find it odd if Cybertron suddenly had the same atmosphere as Earth.

"Iacon Destroyed" showed clouds in the backdrop at the very least, so OK that might indicate a atmosphere to some extent (could be gas clouds, but like the cartoons, it at least allows/implies oxidation/fire), but so far Cybertron has mostly been portrayed as a planet without a (colored) atmosphere.

Nitpicking I know, but to a certain extent the slugs of WFC were already... 'problematic' in my mind.
