The Universe of the Transformers is vast, and populated by many characters. Their universe is a large tapestry, made up of the stories and points of view of countless experiences that serve the larger whole.
These are some of those stories. This is:
It should be noted that while this project has been recognized by IDW Publishing and Hasbro, none of the works presented have been commissioned or solicited by either company. The stories are not official canon, except where noted. These stories are the result of Transformers enthusiasts taking the time out of their busy days to contribute to a universe they love.

Previously, we had thought this item was to be a Toy's R" Us exclusive as indicated by the sticker on his packaging, but nothing is confirmed in either instance. Additionally, official images were provided as well, to view them,

As you may know,
Activision has created a teaser site set up for the latest addition to the video gaming genre of the Transformers Universe,
Transformers: War For Cybertron. Typically when you go there, it will play the original teaser trailer, but now the transmission is broken and it's up to you to pull it back together!
You will all notice a much more familiar Cybertron (with a big ol' hole blown out of it) and bits of the planet floating in orbit.
Can you decipher the lost transmission? If you can manage to crack the code, you are treated to preview art and even new video clips! See if your made of sterner stuff by checking out the site
here
Feel free to discuss what you find and record what co-ordinates work in
this very thread!

Thanks to Seibertron.com members Skyfire77 and Stixx Eppley for letting us know that Crazy Devy, the third party accessory provider for everything Devastator, has updated their site for the second time this week with a limb upgrade for the EZ/Legends CDMW-03 ROTF Devastator set. This time, the left limb, formed from Constructicon Hightower, gets the hand upgrade. Instead of having to make due with the skinny appendages from the original figure, the new add-on give the left hand an articulated, three digit claw that makes it more movie accurate. No word yet on when this set will be released or what the final price will be. Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more details as their released.
And as always, please keep in mind that this is a third party set, and is not endorsed by Hasbro or Takara.

GameInformer has updated their
Transformers Hub with the profile of the most prolific and quintessential Transformers villains to ever roll off the assembly line: The Decepticon War Monger Megatron!
Check out the incredible pics below along with GameInformers inside scoop on the Megatron Character from WFC.
As the leader of the Decepticons, Megatron has a goal that fans of the cartoons know all too well: to win control of Cybertron for his faction and exterminate the Autobots. Throughout War For Cybertron, he will be searching for the means to achieve this end, a mysterious substance known as Dark Energon.
Just in case Megatron's attitude didn't make him imposing enough, his frame certainly should. The whole of his right arm is covered by a giant fusion cannon, a powerful one-of-a-kind weapon that can destroy a whole city block with a single blast. This power will be on display throughout War For Cybertron as Megatron launches powerful attacks against his enemies, including a brutal sacking of the Autobot home city of Iacon.
Though Megatron will greatly reward loyalty, he's also not concerned with destroying supporters the second they let him down. As such, he's got the helpful ability to Mark Targets (an ability he shares with Optimus Prime) but also the more selfish Drain ability, which will presumably allow him to take the power from his enemies and use it to fuel himself. When switching to vehicle mode, Megatron transforms into a powerful hovering tank that also puts his powerful fusion cannon to use.

Along with
getting to talk with HASBRO and Activision about War For Cybertron, we were also able to get a short question and answer session done by High Moon, developers of the game. Read on for more details:
Question:
Please reference for us what the play-style will mimic. Will it be similar to the RotF game? How does the gameplay compare to other shooter games such as Modern Warfare 2?
We are targeting not only the Transformer fan but also the hardcore gamer. Gamers can quickly discern the difference between a good game and a lousy one – it has to feel right. We have spent the entire project driving toward the right feel in every aspect of the product so when you get your thumbs on it, it is going to be a great shooter, not just a great TF game. Gears, COD and Halo are all reference games we often look at.
Question:
Are there any RPG elements to the game?
No response given.
Question:
Does the game use the same engine as any of the previous Transformers games?
We are using the Unreal Engine, which is the powerhouse behind Gears of War and Batman (along with scores of other great games). No other Transformer game has used the Unreal engine to my knowledge.
Question:
Will there be downloadable content to enhance the game?
We are fully committed to this game and plan to support it after it ships as best we can, but we’re not ready to talk about specific details just yet.
Question:
Will the story progression be linear?
There are 2 separate campaigns (Decepticon and Autobot) each is completely original and unique, and yes since the beginning we have been about telling a great story so there is a natural progression through it. Both campaigns are unlocked at the start. The Decepticon campaign takes place before the Autobot campaign (but you can play them in any order), and I like to think of it as the prequel game to the Autobot game. Both are full fledged unique stories and levels - players don’t travel through the same level ever!
(Click on the above image to view a 3000 pixel version)
Question:
Will the transforming be done with a button press or a button hold action?
Will combat damage be self healing over time or will there be an absolute health gauge?
Are both factions playable?
How will the issue of air superiority be addressed for multiplayer? (the flying mechs were vastly more powerful in RotF)
This is a very valid question, however I am going to save my response for a bit until we are ready to talk about all our multiplayer details, which I’m really excited for – stay tuned.
Question:
Will there be any epic level battles (Shadow of the Collossus style or Tidal Wave from the Armada game style)?
You see the big guy in the teaser trailer (you know who I am talking about)? How does fighting vs. him sound – epic enough? And we’ll talk about more soon.
Question:
What was the most important thing learned from the RotF game that will be corrected in this new game?
At what point in the "War for Cybertron" is the game starting storywise?
Will there be any bonus attacks for characters such as Powerlinking or Minicon boosts from previous eras?
Being that the game is set for all platforms, will each system carry its own version of the game ala Revenge of the Fallen or will every system feature the same campaigns?
The story follows the same major beats on all platforms, but there will be some differences on the NDS and Wii versions. High Moon is developing the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions.
Seibertron.com would like to thank everyone at High Moon and Activision for making this possible.
