Activision officially announces "Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron" Video Game for 2012

Lord Onixprime wrote:HOLLY CRAP!!!!! Very awesome.

Remember guys, as far as Alex Irvine, Highmoon, and the TF: Prime team are concerned, they are working on separate projects. It is Hasbro drawing the lines between the three. FoC will probably have as much relation to Exiles and TF: Prime as WfC had with Exodus and TF: Prime.

Aside from the Dark Energon variations and difffering body designs, like what?

This game better have as similar (if not more similar) a story to Exiles as Exodus and WFC had.

Looks like Optimus (and maybe Bumblebee) gets a new body.

And is that supposed to be Grimlock? Looks like he got a new body too (compared his old body). I wonder if he'll keep this same exact look for when/if he shows up in Transformers: Prime (since we were told that the Dinbots were coming in season 2).

Though, if this game includes Cybertron-based battels, hopefully they're only at the beginning of the game and then shift to the other colony worlds, since the 'Bots and 'Cons left Cybertron at the end of the previous story.

but Grimlock was created after they landed on earth...no no no, this is wrong.

The dark energon and the body issues are rather strange. Breakdown being the most obvious

Exodus was a contradicting, poorly edited mess. TF:Prime is disappointing as well.

So keep WFC2 as far away as possible from both please!

I am afraid of what Hasbro may push on this. I hated the whole stupid and nonsensical marketing forced idea that WFC was in the TF: Prime continuity. The game did not reflect any of that at all and in many way it contradicted it.

kup1986 wrote:It was clear that the idea of 'tying up' WFC with TF Prime was something that Hasbro did well after the game was produced so it was too late to retroactively push that concept into the game...Unfortunately that's not the case here as that idea now predates the sequel.

kup1986 wrote:If this game becomes 'TF Prime' it will kill much of my enjoyment of it and chances are I may not get it as if you remove the 'G1' from the first game, it looses a lot of appeal as the graphics and gameplay were ok but nothing that really stood out.

GRIMLOCK fought his way through the gladiatorial pits underneath Kaon to become one of the greatest warriors on CYBERTRON. Having joined the AUTOBOTS early on during the Great War, GRIMLOCK made it clear he never trusted OPTIMUS PRIME to properly lead the AUTOBOTS. Due to his shock and awe approach to combat, GRIMLOCK is not regarded as a great military leader. However, he has fought and survived through enough battles to earn top ranking position among the AUTOBOTS. Having struck out on his own, GRIMLOCK eventually found himself leader of the DINOBOTS, a special operations strike force unit that can power through most barricades and DECEPTICON strongholds. During a battle with the DECEPTICON SCORPONOK, GRIMLOCK’s vocal processors were damaged, leading to his awkward and distinct way of speaking. If GRIMLOCK has a weakness, it is his larger than Prime ego and his lack of patience.

GRIMLOCK rose to lead a group known for their shock and awe style of military tactics, these soldiers were known as the Lightning Strike Coalition Force. Captured by SHOCKWAVE they were eventually reformatted into the team known as the DINOBOTS. During a fierce battle, GRIMLOCK’s vocal processors were damage leading to his awkward and distinct way of speaking.

THANK YOU

WHY DO PEOPLE CONSISTENTLY FORGET ABOUT THIS

THAT IS ALL.

also I fail to see the contradictions. there's millions of years between WFC and prime, different alt modes and personality =/= CONTRADICTIONSSSSSSSS. Things change, especially with the long timeline and, well, the war. I don't see how making this be in the aligned/prime continuity will ruin this forever, when it was meant to be in this in the first place. If anything, it'd be to suddenly make this OUT of this continuity.

I have never seen that before, and of course in the DS game he didn't look that detailed. That is an awesome shot.

Yuo kiddin'? It's widely regarded as the greatest Transformers video game of them all, trumping all of the ones to come before it (when the Armada PS2 game was previously regarded as the best).

Plus I really like the control setup for WFC when using the mouse/keyboard. Of course since I don't have a PS3 or Xbox 360 that they may also be a huge factor why I am hoping there is a PC release.
