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

You know who I want to see in this game? Makeshift. He was one of the few cool characters in Exiles, so it'd be sweet if they could work him in somehow. Even as a NPC.

If not him, then at least throw in some Shifters as CPU enemies.

I miss that show.

They should start making movies and video games for that. There where assloads of TF references too. Like The Matrix was in one episode. And so was Unicron.

This game is looking so much better than WFC. I want more battles like the Iacon battle in WFC. Ones that take place in big areas. Plus, I want to be able to hide behind cover.

gameinformer has published their latest exclusive Transformers: Fall of Cybertron article, "Transformers: Resurrecting The Dinobots". In addition to awesome art and screenshots mirrored below, the article also contains two videos, "The Story Behind the Dinobots" and "Designing the Dinobots", which can be viewed by clicking here.

Two things unite every sane person in the world: pumpkin pie and the unrivaled awesomeness of dinosaurs. In the '80s, Hasbro capitalized on the popularity of these beasts by creating the memorable team of elite Transformers called the Dinobots. Once a pillar of Transformers fiction, the proud Dinobots went the way of the dodo as the series chose to emphasize other characters. Thankfully, High Moon Studios couldn't let them go, as the Dinobots return to the fight in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. Led by the robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex named Grimlock, these five transforming robots will be an intricate part of the story. Check out the first video below to learn how High Moon Studios built a new origin story that logically allowed for robotic dinosaurs on the alien planet of Cybertron.

I want to play with Grimlock already and smash some Decepticreeps with that huge sword!

btw, any idea if Grimlock (or any other Dinobot) has a gun as a weapon? In those videos where they showed character modeling and their transformation, it was said that they try to make the gun-arm point forward so you can start shooting immediately, which was the case with Optimus and Jazz. However, Grimlock didn't have his arm pointed forward, so does that mean that he only has a melee weapon?

The latest video confirmed htat Grimlock only has a sword and shield. no gun. His only ranged weapon comes in the form of throwing his enemies at each other.

Slag is very cool looking. I, too, hope they don't screw with his name.

"Slag" is a swear word in Britain. So, there's not a certainty that they can use that name.

Swoop could use a little blue on him. Otherwise, I was surprised to see that all the designs are remarkably similar to their original counterparts. Really psyched for this game!

Quite aware of that. Calling him "Snarl" to me doesn't work. He was the only Dinobot toy I had as a kid. Calling him "Slag" is only right, IMO.
