FOC Megatron desperately needs a voyager toy. Then, finally, I'll have a suitable Megatron to lead my Classics Decepticons.

Well it at least looks like it's not going to be a repeat of the Dark of the Moon game, and rather, lean more closer to the WFC/FOC games.

I really wish we would have gotten a Voyager (or a Deluxe at least) sized FoC Megatron figure, it would have been so awesome, especially if it came with his sword. RotDS is starting to look pretty decent, hopefully we get a demo.

Wait a sec. If the WFC/FOC parts of ROTDS take place before the events of FOC, and Megatron is in his FOC body... oh dear.

Another continuity snarl!

I wish I could say I was surprised...

I guess the only sensible thing to do is to write ROTDS's WFC/FOC parts out of the main Aligned timeline and consider it merely an alternate reality version like how "Tales of the Beast Hunters" is to Prime season 3.

No harm done to the main timeline that way, as it just excommunicates this game and makes it its own individuated entity.

Now if only we could extract the prior two games from the Aligned continuity and create a micro-continuity...

Actually I've read some things that suggest the game takes place shortly before the launch of The Ark.After Megatron is upgraded, but before the end of Fall of Cybertron.

Which is great! If it sucks (and it will), no real harm done to the franchise.

Source?

I read that it takes place before the Ark's launch, but not the part about it taking place right after Megatron's revival.

I believe it was part of a Gameinformer article. Course it doesn't say specifically it's riiight after his revival, but it makes sense to me at least considering not much else is confirmed :b

Well, the source I heard my info from was a report on an article in a Game Informer magazine issue. If the article has further info that clarifies a setting and timeframe that doesn't conflict with the previous games, then we'd have to find some way of getting our hands on that magazine issue.

Courtesy of Instagram user dystamine have details on the GameStop Weathered Warriors exclusive for the upcoming Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark video game first brought to our attention by our own scalan15. This exclusive content pack will allow access to Fall of Cybertron Skywarp and Thundercracker, plus the Glass Gas cannon and Soundwave's Electro Bolter.

Seems better than the bonus of Stinger... but I know so little about this game's multiplayer I'm in no rush to preorder it from Gamestop or Amazon.

I wonder how well the servers will hold up when the different transformation animations are running in 16 different models.

I hope Skywarp and Thundercraker are playable in Single Player and not just for multiplayer like a lot of FOC's DLC

News Credits: 8 · by **Megatron Wolf** » Tue Apr 29, 2014 12:21 pm

is it for all game modes or just online? If its only for online then its one more reason for me not to bother with this game. Remember when pre-order bonuses use to be cool & not just some lame ass DLC that will probably be free in a few months?

Am I the only one Hoping we get a G1 Megs this time around?

G1 Megatron would be nice, or even G2 after the G2 Combaticons we need more Day-Glow Camo

Gotta get that toy accuracy.

Playable in Campaign, too... I wonder how that will work.
