gameinformer has posted their latest Transformers: Fall of Cybertron article, "
The Enemies & AI Of Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron". Click
here to learn more about the game's IA, meet some of new enemies, and check out more screenshots.
High Moon has improved the responsiveness of all of its enemies for Fall of Cybertron, but that’s only one of the key changes to the AI. In order to communicate how its enemies react to the world, High Moon has implemented some overt animation and sound effects that help distinguish each character. Whenever possible, enemies in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron undergo physical transformation changes that will cue players into enemy behavior and weaknesses.
If a player hides from the Guardian’s battle mode, the Guardian will shift into investigate mode and begin scanning the environment for signs of their prey
Leapers don’t go into a full transformation, but they do shift into a wedge shape as they jump into the air. This air attack is one of the Leapers’ more powerful moves. Players will have to dodge this move and attack from behind in order to defeat these monstrosities
Crawlers will not attack while in flight, so their unique transformation sound signals players that it is time to crawl out of cover and find a better firing position. This is a good example of how High Moon’s visual and auditory cues aid players in combat
Enemy AI often influences a character’s design. For example, the Guardian’s battle mode is big and bulky, which represents how tough a challenge the Guardian will be in combat

IDW:
Two New Series, One TRANSFORMERS Comics Universe
Thursday, Oct 20th, 2011
Debuting in January, the war for CYBERTRON is over. Now the hard part begins.
Perfect jumping-on point for new readers.
Launching in January, IDW Publishing is proud to offer TRANSFORMERS and comics fan everywhere two new ongoing TRANSFORMERS comics series, under license from Hasbro. The two, interrelated series are a direct continuation of IDW’s CHAOS event and the culminating issue, TRANSFORMERS: THE DEATH OF OPTIMUS PRIME, available in comic stores and online in December. Featuring two great stories under one IDW TRANSFORMERS universe, both comic series also offer a perfect place for new readers to join the series.
Written for both comics and TRANSFORMERS fans, TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE and TRANSFORMERS: MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE each explore the aftermath of IDW’s CHAOS event.
The war is over, and now the hard part begins. In the new world of CYBERTRON, there are only two choices: stay or go.
Helmed by writer John Roberts with art and covers by Nick Roche, AUTOBOT RODIMUS calls on his fellow TRANSFORMERS to leave CYBERTRON in search of the Knights of CYBERTRON in TRANSFORMERS: MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE. This lost tribe of TRANSFORMERS is, according to legend, the guardians of the original Cybertronian culture and RODIMUS and his followers begin a quest to find them and restore their culture to its past glory.
TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE, written by IDW’s own John Barber, with art and covers by Andy Griffith, follows BUMBLEBEE and the remaining AUTOBOTS on CYBERTRON. Without OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE finds himself in command of a world gone mad. TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DIGUISE follows the struggle to rebuilding CYBERTRON as the AUTOBOTS, DECEPTICONS and civilian TRANSFORMERS, who don’t distinguish between the other two groups, are all vying for control.
Each series will feature four interconnecting covers for issue #1. Marcele Matere creates the Cybertronian mosaic for TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DIGUISE, with Alex Milne bringing the explorers to life for TRANSFORMERS: MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE.
