Here is the text version of what Matt Tieger wrote in this booklet:

Matt Tieger wrote:Fellow Cybertronians,

Ever since releasing War for Cybertron, High Moon Studios has been hard at work creating THE Transformers experience for 2012: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. The strong early response to our announcement for our new game has been really inspiring to the team, and to say "thanks" we're proud to present you with this early look.

Image

Our team is beyond passionate about Transformers. Our #1 goal for Fall of Cybertron is to continue to expand the richness of the license for our fans and gamers of all types. We're accomplishing our goal through a compelling original story, driven by returning and all-new fan-favorite characters to deliver an epic Transformers gaming experience like never before.

This isn't an Autobot story. This isn't a Decepticon story. This is a Cybertron story, set in the darkest hours of the most legendary rivalry of all time! The Transformers' home world is dying, and players will experience just how desperately each side is fighting to save their home planet Cybertron - and themselves - from extinction.

We can't wait to show you more in 2012, and hope this holds you over in the meantime.

Roll Out!

Matt "Tieg" Tieger


And in case you missed the trailer that debuted last week ...

It has nothing to do with it being a bad word in Beast Wars. It's because it's a pejorative term for slut in some parts of the world.

Namely in Britain.

So, yeah, it is a bad word. Not to the U.S., but to the UK.

You know... I must say....

Awhile ago someone had suggested a war for Cybertron type movie with similar animation and vehicle type/alt modes we've seen in the game. i immediately shot it down thinking it would never work for the big screen. After seeing all the art work, the new trailer and now this "survival kit" i must admit...

I was wrong. 100% wrong. This could work very well on the big screen.

For some reason War for Cybertron didn't impress me much, but Fall of Cybertron is. Alot. Animation is stellar, and concept art is gorgeous. I really hope the game play lives up to the rest of what we've seen. I'd really love to have one of these kits.

Beautiful artwork. I love the background images. Gotta say I don't like Megatron's design. Shockwave looks awesome.

Same design from the first game, but still cool.

This is looking very cool. I would actually like to see some films like this. Why not?

The image of the Autobot transport (#179) seems to have parts of Trypticon attached to it, namely his head and at least one arm. I'd really like to know if there is any significance to that or if the artist was just having fun.

Bruticus looks awesome. He's my favorite combiner, then Devastator.

I hope you can play him in the game, and also in multiplayer. I don't know how that's going to be balanced with other players just being a normal TF.

I don't think a big screen thing will work. But a direct to dvd animated film of say 45 minutes.

Look@

Dante's Inferno animé
Halo Legends animé

It can be done!

If this kit's only for the press then that works out great for everyone. Thanks for the galleries Seibertron. A Cadbury's dairy milk bar and a Red Bull and I'm sorted.

How does one go about getting one of these? How I could really use an Energon Bar right now! :)

awesome shots Mr. Seib

i would love to get my hands on this but i know its not going to happen.
hence the reason i supported the petition to High Moon put out by Lady Wreck, from FMH.com, to get them to publish a book of artwork.

If I'm interpreting the artwork right, There is no Slag or Sludge in this game. It's like Hasbro has forgotten about them.

All five are in the game. Grimlock, Swoop, Sludge, Snarl, and Slug.

Is it really such a great idea to include consumables as part of a collectors item? Kind hard to keep those in their original condition. :lol:

There is a whole "level" that will let you play as all 5 Combaticons and at the end play as Bruticus.

No Bruticus for Multiplayer though.

I`ll be honest, I don`t really care for the look of Blast-off or Swindle and Onslaught, Jazz & Shockwave seem to just be re-used with what looks to be no improvements from the last game. Diggin` the new Prime and Megs though. Can`t wait to see more of Perceptor and Wheeljack.

Had a thought today too. If they have a level to really explore the use of a helicopter alt mode, I wonder who they`ll have on the Autobots side?

Springer?
Whirl?
Rotorstorm?
Blades?
Evac?

I'd say the list goes on and on, but really it doesn't :P

Onslaught's a re-use of his WFC game design too.

I still hope they put Bruticus in multiplayer. Even if it is only a simplefied version of Escalation where you just play against some hords of enemies. Or 1vs1.

If anyone's curious what the Cybertronian says on thte timeline page, i spent some bored free time and translated it all :P

I was hoping for something fun or an easter egg, but I suppose what's really there makes sense. It just splits up the english text into timelines:

1.1 THE CLASH
OF CIVIL WAR

2.1 FLEEING A
DEPLETED
PLANET

3.1 A PLANETS
CHANCE
FOR REBIRTH

3.2 THE RACE
FOR ERERGON (sic)

3.3 COLLAPSE
OF THE
SPACE BRIDGE
