Combaticons, possibly Bruticus, oh shi-!

I'm surprised Sadako has'nt made a post.

Oh, he will. Tis hard to post in this thread with an erection, took me four hours to start the thread.

But I digress, goin' back to what was shown in the Highmoon Studios tour coverage, it's cool that they changed Prime's appearance, but... . . . . ...why? Not sure if they'll explain it, but he looked fine before. Looks alright to me.

Glad to hear there'll be makin' more figures as well.

Hahahah


Indeed...!

That Grimlock looks f**king awesome.
Interesting that he is already in T-Rex mode.

Can't wait for this...

Did we ever get an actual, legit, omfg-dis-is-the-real-one, 100% origin on them? The toon had one, the comics had another and the obviously non-canon incarnations of them.

The comic one made more sense.

Cybertronian Autobots modified on earth 4,000,000 years ago to defend the ark...

Why would a T-rex be a form already for a non earth being?

Was that when they landed and Shockwave was somehow on Earth? Tryin' to remember, and I kinda remember Shockwave falling into a volcano.

Shockwave came to earth then to find out what happened to Megatron and his Ark-boarding party.

Earth's magnetic field scrambled his navigation sensors and he wound up landing in the Savage land, Antarctica - battling the dominant life forms (dinosaurs) and slaughtering them left right and center.
The Ark/Teletraan/"Auntie" detected this on its minimal power running on it's defence systems, and modifies five of the Autobots like it will later do for the other smashed up Autobots and Decepticons laying in The Ark....only to blend in with the lifeforms of the time.

They get over to Antarctica and an epic battle ensues, and the Dinobots and Shockwave end up submerged in a tar pit lost for 4,000,000 years...

Later in 1984, When the Autobots are concerned that they are gonna lose to the Deceps, (Sparkplug was captured by the deceps and he was forced to convert earth fuel for Megatron's posse) an Autobot probe is sent over to the area the battle took place in to find the Dinobots after Ratchet scans the Arks log and finds out about these shenanigans..... It awakens Shockwave by mistake and the probe is crushed.

The Autobots at this point are too wrapped up in a final battle defending the Ark, fighting the Deceps in an all out last stand of five fully fuelled Autobots vs most of the earth bound Decepticons to notice the loss of the probe...

Just when the Decepticons look like they over powered the five Autobots and won, they fall to the floor in agony (Poisoned by sabotaged fuel that Sparkplug had cooked up for 'em.)
and the Autobots emerge victorious.
Just this happens, just after a post battle victory speech by prime, the roof of the volcano over all the transformers is blasted in by Shockwave, who stands over the fallen Transformers from both sides as the last man standing.

(Which ends the original 4 issue run)

This leads to Shockwave being the Decpticon leader for quite while and under his rule he whups Megatron in a leadership challenge and Ratchet (Who was the last Autobot left as he was at the hospital with Sparkplug when the final battle occured) makes a deal with Megatron to help Megatron overthrown Shockwave, and to help him do this, he goes to Antarctica to retrieve and enlist the Dinobots... Megatron forfeits on his end of the bargain and is about to terminate Ratchets arse, happy that Shockwave is gone after Ratchet plays him footage of the Dinobots defeating Shockwave (playback of the 4,000,000 years ago).

Ratchet anticipates this and signals for the Dinos to spring out and attack Megatron, whom is defeated after he bests the Dino, and Rathet in an final act of desperation barges Megatron off of the cliff they were battling on and Megatron is lost in gun mode with damaged memory circuits for a while.

Shockwave still continues as leader of the Deceps and using the Matrix residual energy in Primes severed-yet-alive head, creats Jetfire and the Constructicons before he is eventually beaten.

Shockwave remains leader of the Deceps, but the Autobots are free'd at some point after that.

dayyyyyyyyyuuummmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Sorry for the double post. KMC's fault.

How are going with the first game, Did you get it fixed?

I ended up buying a second copy...!

Got the that Game informer issue from scythes's post

it says Shockwave's twisted experiments give rise to the dinobots and theres also a picture of Grimlock and they say Starscream is taunting and provokes him, Then the players perspective shifts as you take control of Grimlock and belt the shit out of Starscream.

oh happy day!

It's like an All-Father being existing in comic universe.

Odin is a humanoid being with Scandinavian Barbaric fashion yet he is thousands of years old.

Maybe Tyrannosaurus Rex's predate Earth history. Food for thought.

So awesome! I'm loving what they said in that interview, that the Dinobots were forced to become dinos, and basically Swoop really, really accepts it.

Well that'd be in keeping with things on the original.
The dinobots were reconfigured autobots, after all.
And Swoop was always a loner.

Heres some more footage but its not the best quality

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/12/tantalising-glimpse-of-transformers-rise-of-grimlock/

Prime looks more like Powermaster Prime there!




Heres the same in higher def etc

THis shit just got real...

Yes indeed. The pictures of Metroplex in the game make me WTF...! Brutal. As are all those semi-unicron sized bodies in the wastelands.

http://www.seibertron.com/games/fall-of-cybertron/gallery.php?id=147

Look at the 'stunning environments' bit on one of the early pages...
Is that a tiny Hot Rod/Rodimus we see?

The folks over at Paramount need to pull their heads out of their arses and see this stuff, This is how Transformers is done.

That trailer was a xmas present from them too, of itself, I guess..

What do you guys think about the new heads Megs and OP are sporting? I'm not really bothered by them since they do sorta look more G1-ish. I did love the way OP looked in the first game, but I'm guessin' him and Megs got an upgrade or something of that nature.

Snap, snap! You may be on to somethin' here.

Unlockable character, maybe?
Perhaps a DLable content version for the future?

The limbs look the wrong colour to be Sunstorm.
Im sure thats him.

Single Player DLC would be good

wherever the game ends have it set after it.

Yeah the campaign was awesome on the last game. So that would be a great feature.

I think they look great, so far.

Maybe as time draws nearer to the start of G1, they are wrapping it round to design that fits the known classic look.

And that is 100% fine with me.

That's where I think they're going as well.

A few things I'm hoping we get in one way or another, a 2D side scrolling TF game or a game dedicated to those that game before OP and Megs. Like the original 13 and such.

Yeah man....I love 2D side scrollers.
That would be awesome, yet I cannot imagine how it could be implimented in the game itself.

Like the console versions can be much like WFC, the version handhelds and Xbox arcade, PSN or virtual console can have a 2D side-scroller.

The DS version of WFC wasn't a side-scroller or anything, but it had an insane amount of bots in it. Motormaster, Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod being my all time faves to use in that game.

Cool..! Never got to play that version.

Dammit now my disc for War For Cybertron does'nt want to work and theres not one scratch on it.

Im on my second disc these days.

Mind you mine was scratched bad.

If any games were worth rebuying, I guess WFC was.

Head cleaner job?

Everything is back to normal....damn game needed an update.

Ahhh good.

freaks you out when shit like that happens.

Yeah they like us to be uncertain.

Im certain about that.

New screenshots

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/gamenews.php?id=86157

looks like the insecticons will be in it or a enemy type.

Wow those shots look great.

*Anticipation building*

Been playing the multiplayer a lot for the first game, kicking arse as the scout currently got that class on lvl 21.

I only tried that at the end of a 7 hours session.
Naturally being fatigued out I was terrible.

The class is best used for stealth, So pretty much do the cloak and then have that other skill where it boosts your attack after coming out of it.

F*** Im such a noob. lol

The Toy line

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/02/bruticus-leads-transformers-fall-of-cybertrons-toy-store-invasion/

Onslaught's legs look a bit spindly there.
And the Vortex arm looks a bit indistinct

Gameplay just near the start of it.

complaints over lack of ammo.... what the hell i did'nt have any problems like that same deal with the checkpoint system.

Looks fantastic.
Playable Bruticus?
Prime summoning Metroplex?
Triple changing Vortex?

Great post, Kaz.

At first: Serious face.

Then: Hahahaha! F*ck yeah.

This game looks awesome and all, but sucks that it's not co op. Can't see my self buying it until the price goes down if its just single player.

It might still have Co-op the first one had it.

My friend said they stated it doesn't for this one.

I thought co-op was there via online (PSN/Live).

First one did. This one doesn't.

My only problem with the first one was it needed more colours to play around with for multiplayer.

W_B8b919jH8

Good that they thought up a decent story for the Dinobots to be there, The origin from the G1 cartoons would be silly to use.

Yeah it was ridiculous. Cant believe they didn't go with comics version. It made infinitely more sense.

Preorder bonuses are up, they're pretty decent.

Amazon's: http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Fall-Cybertron-sony-playstation3/dp/B005UDTTQ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338345559&sr=8-1

Gamestop's: http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/games/transformers-fall-of-cybertron/97736

Is that it?

would've thought something alot more for preorder items.

Not to mention, a collector's edition or something.

That's what i'm talking about and maybe also include a Transformer figurine......one can only wish.

qGoCbeiIabg

Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!

Metroplex...!!!!!!!!!

And it really looks like the original Metroplex too..
I'd now like to see him beat the shit out of Trypticon, just for all that he put us through in the last game....

Bloody hell this looks great!

Glad that got shot down, I'll take a DP game over Hit-Monkey.

I hope now that the aligned continuity canon is more fleshed out, that this game and the tv show don't have as many inconsistencies as the first game and tv show did.

Demo coming this month
