New Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Website is Live

Can't wait for other character reveals, and ti seems to take a lot of info from TF:Prime. Although... there are some stuff bugs me:

1) Bumblebee is mute

2) Megatron looks too chubby...

3) They are only putting 6 characters from each faction on the website. My guess is that they'll be:

Autobots: Optimus, Bumblebee, Jazz, Ironhide, Grimlock, Cliffjumper.

Decepticons: Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave, Starscream, Bruticus, Kickback.

Time to do some exploring.

- I like that it has all of the game trailers archived and in YouTube form.

- Optimus Prime's bio make reference to his Exodus origins.

- Bumblebee's bio mentions that he lost his ability to speak to Megatron. I am both glad and bugged by this, since it causes all sorts of confusion even though it's accurate to TF: Prime.

- There are four more Autobot bios to be revealed.

- Ooooooooh, Megatron's new body looks niiiice. He's gradually coming to better resemble his TF: Prime design.

- His new tank mode even has forward-spread wings not too dissimilar to how his jet wings are spread in Prime.

- Also, he's also got an Exodus-based bio. Tis a shame that WFC itself wasn't as clear on its characters' backstory info.

- Well, well, well, look at what we have here. Shockwave has two actual hands. Eat that, G1 Shocky.

- Eh, why is "Space Bridge" spelled as one word ("Spacebridge")? Typo?

- Four more Decepticon bios coming soon as well.

- Tis a nice image gallery they got there (though, most images are from articles we've seen before). Five more pics to be revealed in due time.

- That's a nice timeline of events the site has there. it's a nice summary of the pre-war, civil war, post-war, and journey events. I chuckle at how they tease at the possibility of the Ark and Nemesis having gone either straight to Earth or to different parts of the galaxy when anyone who's read the books knows which is obviously the true destination (hint: it ain't Earth).

- Iacon, Kaon, Sea of Rust, and Insecticon Hives: four important locations in the game.

Read the novels. Exodus covers the loss of his voice.

Plus, they didn't directly take that from the movies. They took it from the Binder, which itself took it from the movies. There was a middleman in between.

At botcon, for my youtube updates, when I was conversing with folks about FoC, someone mentioned Bumblebee is level one for foc (like dotm?), which i had not heard/seen. And since I KNOW Optimus is level two, that would makes sense - start off with bee, he gets wrecked, optimus helps him out, we switch to optimus.

Good theory. Also very plausible considering how you'll apparently have a smooth transition to switching to other characters. Also, there is a multiplayer section in Game>Features. It says up to 16 players! So that's 8 per team in team based modes. That leads me to assume maps will more than likely be bigger too.

Still no new news on multiplayer except 8 vs 8. I want to see something

The official website for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron has been updated with two new character profiles, Cliffjumper and Starscream. Six character profiles remain locked. Click here to visit the site.

Cliffjumper may not be the largest Autobot around, but he doesn't let that get in the way of picking fights with Decepticons. Fearless and brash, Cliffjumjper's favorite weapons happen to be his fists.

The air commander of the Seekers, Starscream is as ambitious as they come. During the early days of the war, Starscream sold the services of the Seekers to Megatron in order to one day usurp his Decepticon master and take command of Cybertron for himself.

Yep, that's cliff alright.

I'm not thrilled with how they gave WFC/FOC Cliffjumper his Prime head. Though it does look slightly redone, it still doesn't fit perfectly with the aesthetic of the rest of his body.

360 degrees rotation of their character models!!!!

Wait, is this what they're gonna look like in the game? Jazz looks a bit different from that Cyber Monday pic we recently got, with that weird white head and different codpiece, Soundwave's kinda different too, he's grayer, and are those separate eyes in his visor? or just weird lighting?

Imagine a whole game taking place on Animatron.

Great place to fight the Star Seekers in a three-way battle.
