Transformers staying home for Transformers: War for Cybertron

by JC Fletcher on Dec 11th 2009 11:15AM

The latest Transformers game, War for Cybertron, takes place before the Autobots and Decepticons arrived on Earth. As such, they have no concept of our Earth "trucks" and "awesome jets," and can only transform into ... things that look pretty much like trucks and awesome jets, but alien.

The teaser after the break introduces the setting for the new High Moon-developed title, and Game Informer promises more info on its constantly updating War for Cybertron hub page. If the new locale and exotic transformations don't grab you, think about this: all humans are millions of miles away from Cybertron, so unlike the movies, you'll actually get to see the Transformers in this game.

As much as I love Peter Cullen, I'd love to see them go back to Gary Chalk and David Kaye for Optimus and Megatron in this game.

Wow, that's outta left field. This could really be great, but i dont really dig the designs. Id heard they were supposed to be like the War Within comic, but to me they look like realistic versions of the new Transformers Animated series

Fortress Maximus is an extremely flawed design, having Spike as the head of his Headmaster head. Then emotionally, he's even more unstable than Rodimus Prime and Ultra Magnus combined.
