Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
Please use this thread to discuss the Transformers: Fall of Cybertron news story on the main site.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, a direct sequel to 2010 actioner War for Cybertron, is on its way.

GameInformer has the scoop but is being stingy with the details, only revealing that High Moon Studios returns on dev duty and that the Activision-published game continues the story of the civil war raging between the Autobots and Decepticons.

Its report claims that the title "changes and improves upon so many of the fundamental ideas that the developer considers the game a natural successor rather than a true sequel."
