Activision Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Listed on Amazon.co.uk

New Transformers game Rise of the Dark Spark outed for Xbox One and PS4 by retailer http://sbn.to/NJikvR via @Polygon

If this is the next continuity successor to Fall of Cybertron, I have only one possible idea for what its story could be.

In the Covenant of Primus book (and maybe in the new Retribution novel--I wouldn't know since I still haven't gotten to read it yet), there is a paragraph that talks about some of the events that happened on Cybertron long after the Ark and Nemesis left into space, one of which talks about how Shockwave captured Alpha Trion and used him along with Vector Sigma in a twisted experiment attempting to artificially create an evil counterpart to the Matrix of Leadership, one based on Dark Energon.

I could see this game using that plotline as a basis and structuring its story around the attempts of the Wreckers and the Dinobots trying to stop Shockwave and destroy the Dark Energon Matrix.

I was waiting for news like this.

To bad High Moon won't be doing the game. They have some good experience and Fall Of Cybertron's a great game.

Hopefully the studio that's going to develop this game, will look very close to the FOC game and not try any funny business like ROTF. Constantly driving made me in that game, but overall it was pretty good.

I think it would be connected to the movie, since it'll be probaby launched around the time the movie comes out.

I hear ya bro,

So much that could be done, combiner in multi player for instance.
Powerlink, triple changer, beast mode, etc. etc.

Based on the title and what we know of the Thirteen's story, I'm not sure what this "Dark Spark" could pertain to related to the Thriteen.

Though, I think the chances of them making a Thirteen game are slim to none since, to the general public, the Thirteen are obscure nobodies that more than likely aren't very profitable. Big names like Optimus and Megatron and their ilk are what the casual folks want, and thus are what sell. The Thirteen would only appeal to the most diehard of diehard fans, who are such a niche market to cater to that there's be little commercial gain from making such a game.

I was thinking that the Dark Spark could be referring to The Fallen.

I didn't expect a trailer THIS soon.

It's a whole Aligned continuity/movie universe crossover. That is awesome!

Yeah, I'm super confused, but ridiculously excited.

sooo much money going out the window. I can just see the skin packs draining my account as I type.

Nerdgasm. Nerdgasm everywhere.
