The story's going to be canon as in it's apparently the jumping on point for a new series and toyline, though in what form remains to be seen. Not as in it's canon with the G1 cartoon, or even the G1 comics. To be honest, though... I never really thought War Within was supposed to be considered canon for the G1 cartoon or comics either, merely Dreamwave's G1 comics. Even IDW has a (somewhat) different backstory to start things off... To be put plainly, this game is the start of another new Transformers Universe, a new continuity, and as far as that new continuity goes, this is the official, canonized start of things.
As for Screamer here, I'm not completely sold, but he's pretty cool. I'm interested to see how this artwork translates into a full 3-D model, however.

Ah, yes. That clears it up for me. Thanx!
