I like, I like. Hopefully the story is heavily based on WWI. I'd be all for that. So far, the characters we've seen look good.

By the name and the designs this is looking to be a 'pre-earth' setting. Which looks pretty awesome.
Maybe having a bit more creative openness on the programmers' end will get rid of the crappy plots the previous TF games have had too.

And being able to "make your own transformer" would be nice too. I could see it easily being handled like they did for the DS games for the first transformers movie.

Hmm, looks interesting, but I hope it has nothing to do with the next toyline, I don't really like that look. Unless they reformat later in the game, of course.

Yes. I totally agree. When I saw that sweet pic of Megs on the home page, I got more excited than I have in recent memory.

I'm gonna be cautiously optimistic here. While the game LOOKS jaw droppingly cool(can't wait to get my next Game Informer to read the article), I'll have to see it in action via the mentioned trailer before I get too excited. Remember, the Movie based games LOOK great, but they don't play as well as they look. I'm hoping here for game to be a bit more along the lines of TF: Armada than the Movie games.

The images here look great. However the first movie was so painfully bad that I haven't bothered picking up the second one. I heard the second game got about the same review as the first, so that's not good. I don't remember who made those two games, but hopefully different people are making War for Cybertron.

Otherwise it will be a really cool looking piece of crap.
