Activision has today revealed (via Game Informer, which is basically just a big press release these days) Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, a sequel to last year's War for Cybertron. Oh, and Dinobat fans are in for a treat, because Grimlock is a confirmed character!

Game Informer has two covers available for its upcoming reveal issue -- one with Grimlock, and another with Optimus Prime kneeling over a seemingly dead Bumblebee. Looks like things are going to get serious!

I loved War for Cybertron, and I trust High Moon Studios to deliver yet another hot Transformers title. I can't wait to see more, and I can only hope that if Grimlock's getting the love, we see some Insecticon fun on the Decepticon side. A guy can dream, anyway!


Fuck yeah.

Bumblebee being dead would be an instant buy for me, I think.

All that would result in would be a new Bumblebee mold (that last one was rubbish) or an early Goldbug upgrade.

It better have split screen co-op this time.

Hey, maybe Bumblebee can lose his voice for this one. Take that, Bosch!

All kidding aside, awwww yeah! Definite purchase for me.

Probably a skip for me again as the MP in the last game kinda sucked, and also after 2 weeks, the game basically died.

I'm gonna try and hold off until it is on sale. Doubt that I'll wait for that though.

Rhinoptimus Prime - Fist on Wheels.

I like the redesign, though his shoulders look a lot smaller in the game than from the concept art. Loving the new look on what I assume is his default gun. Much more bad-ass looking than the old Ion Cannon.

And now, some rumors from /m/ (ready your salt shakers):

Quote:
 
>•You will be able to play as Onslaught, Brawl, Blast Off, Swindle and Vortex and their gestalt mode, Bruticus.
>•Players will also take control of Metroplex. For those who don’t follow Transformers, Metroplex transforms into an entire city. He is described as ‘f*cking gigantic’
>•Grimlock will be playable and has a new gameplay style based around melee attacks. He will breath fire and eat people in Dinobot mode.
>•The Dinobots and the Insecticons have beast modes rather than vehicles.
>•The multiplayer character customisation has had an overhaul, you can now chose heads, armour, vehicle parts, colours etc.
>•Jazz has a grappling hook and uses this to swing about levels, Spiderman style.
>•The graphics are described as ‘amazing’ with some battles being played on the long dead bodies of giant Transformers.


I know I shouldn't get my hopes up, but I WANT TO BELIEVE!!!!

And apparently Swindle IS in the game, along with Wheeljack, so....

I'm hoping for a really good Grimlock toy. Combaticons would be fantastic too, especially if there was a Bruticus combination.

I loved the old World Within Grimlock design, as well as the WfC Grimlock on the DS. Hopefully this one is just as awesome.

And yes, a FoC Bruticus toy would rule.

Apparently the rumors I posted earlier (well, some of them) have been confirmed by Game Informer. From /m/:

Quote:
 
- Grimlock is in it (Why a dinosaur on Cybertron? Shockwave is a mad scientist who decided to experiment on captured Autobots by combining them with the most dominant form of life on Earth at the time. Dinosaurs. He hopes that their viciousness would make them the greatest warriors.)
- Grimlock can't transform at will like the other Cybertronians, but instead must kill enemies until he goes into a frenzy, then he can transform.
- Metroplex is in it. As is Bruticus. Also there is a stage that is basically a graveyard with you fighting on the corpses of giant Autobots and Decepticons.
- Single player focus instead of AI co-op for the single player this time
- The health system will be "a traditional regenerating health" system
- Improved multiplayer
- Supposedly more diverse levels and varied enemies.

Fall of Cybertron is part of a new initiative to codify and begin anew with the Transformers fiction. Over the course of numerous cartoons, comics toy lines and movies, Transformers had become a mess of continuities and concepts. Moving forward, Hasbro wants to bring meaning to the chaos. While Fall of Cybertron draws deep from the well of old stories and characters, it's part of a new and definitive approach to the characters and their universe for the coming years. Consequently, the events depicted in the Fall of Cybertron and its predecessor occur in the same universe as the related novels, and episodes of Transformers Prime. This is the new official canon of the Transformers. "The Nature of the Transformers Brand is about change" explains Hasbro's Aaron Archer, the man in charge of guiding the creative vision of the Transformers Brand. "We've reinvented the brand every couple of years for almost 28 years now. The core messages had been lost along the way. We wanted to tell a new version of the story. The games tell the opening parts of that tale."


Never mind that so far Prime, WfC, and the novels all contradict each other. But hey, maybe FoC will actually manage to pull it off!

Looks like they're working really hard to make the environments more diverse. I remember that was one of the few major complaints people had with WfC.

I'm not entirely sold on the song, but the visuals were so good. Especially Grimlock and Devastator.
