Concept art is a guess, a hope and sometimes an unintended lie. Remember that today as you look at the concept art for next year’s Transformers: Fall of Cyberton, the 2012 follow-up to Activision and High Moon Studios’ impressive 2010 Transformers game War for Cybertron.
People who grew up with the original Transformers — people like me — will have a special thrill seeing words like “Insecticons” and “Metroplex” on this art. We’ll see next year what that’s all about.
Enjoy.

I’ll be one happy Dinobot.

Tuesday, December 20, 2011 at 12:21 PMIt was a great multiplayer. While it did borrow stuff from games like CoD, it still does stuf that even triple A titles refuse to do. Such as having a Local Only search function, and actually updating and patching the game!

Tuesday, December 20, 2011 at 1:34 PMIt did have a great multiplayer… but they totally ruined it when the DLC came out. All of a sudden I couldn’t find a match because I refused to buy the overpriced expansion. What’s worse, the game didn’t have the courtesy to kick me out of the lobby straight away – it would wait the forty second countdown and then, just as the match was starting, it’d give me the boot.

Tuesday, December 20, 2011 at 12:54 PMMichael Bay will complain… ”You can recognise them! You can see the parts! Why can you make sense of the design! They MAKE SENSE! NONE OF THIS IS RIGHT! THEY SHOULD BE COMPLETELY INCOMPREHENSIBLE MESSES!!!!!”

Tuesday, December 20, 2011 at 1:15 PMFunny how everyone else can do that except him.
The designs in WfC were great. They were similar but different. And every character was instantly recognisable from the original G1 designs.
Mr Bay…its called COLOUR!!!!
oh, and Bumblebee can talk FFS!!

Actually they were colourful in TF3, unfortunately it was one of the only ways to tell any of the main characters from the huge bland Decepticon army.

And yes, the biggest thing these guys did besides working on making a fun game with a good story line was to actually make transformers who looked different enough from their G1 earth forms but still resembled a transformer.
I would say with few exceptions you could put up a Transformer from WFC and people would know who it is instantly. And look at that wonderful trailer, you can recognise everyone in there. That’s the biggest problem with the Bay films, I need to be told who is who. Infact those movies are like watching one actor play every part in a movie. No make up, no change of voice or hairstyle or even clothes. He’s identical as every character. Now imagine the big fight scene at the end, who just won?
