Screwattack have posted an interview Transformers: Fall of Cybertron game director Matt Tieger. Most of the information covered in the interview has already been presented in the flurry of recent Transformers: FOC coverage, but there are a few previously unseen screen captures. Check the mirrored images out below, the interview can be found by clicking here.

Destructoid has also posted a Transformers: FOC preview article. Again, most of the info has been covered before, but the article can be found here.

I saw a segment where Grimlock had set out to save his captured dino buddy Snarl. Once he got his meter up to transform, he took on waves of Insecticons, smashing them to bits with tails and claws, and then breathing fire on them to make sure they were dead. You'd have to be dead inside to not want to play as Grimlock after seeing this.

Starscream leading and Armada...and looking a bit like Armada Starscream no less!

Ah, so dino mode is so awesome it requires building up a meter. Didn't play WFC because I've no up to date system, but that's a new mechanic, yes? Can't wait to see what Bruticus and Metroplex's have limiters beyond specific character proximities.

Grimlock has a "rage meter" you have to max out before he can transform into dino mode.

I am sad that this is not on PC, but I just got an Xbox so I am happy that I can get to play this.

Haven't we seen these images before? They look familiar to me.

I've got money that says he will have a 40th anniversary figure that will be repainted to look like that. As it is, the line is supposed to cater towards kids- who have a tendency to like bright and shiny things. :ic$:

A new paint job ain't gonna save that abomination of a toy.

Agreed, it's like the design was described over the phone by a blind man, to another guy who was deaf.

Anyone notice what looks like to be Cliffjumper in the screenshot with Jazz? He looks like a straight repaint of Bee...

As much as I want, so far I've seen only 3 member of dinobots on this game preview. And for Bruticus there is always possibility that somebody will fix the toy figure and make it look like the one in the game. :-B

I agree. Paintjob aside, I was referring to his proportions and physique. And TF 40th Anniversary is 12 years away.
