Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Fred Tatasciore as Megatron seemed to be trying to emulate Hugo Weaving's portrayal from the live-action movies. Likewise, as the narrator, Steve Blum seemed to be emulating G1 narrator, Victor Caroli. The standard version of the game, and the one most publicized, was made available for two out of three of the main consoles and the PC with few changes between each. Optimus Prime had two ion blasters retracted in each arm which fired powerful energy blasts. Darkness Rising, Part 2 After being upgraded to a stronger body by the Forge of Solus Prime, Optimus Prime got a new, more powerful ion blaster which resembled a handheld machine gun. Having the same model as his leader, Ultra Magnus also had two installed, although he never got the cool machine gun. Rebellion a b c d e f g "Designing Cybertron Developer Diary".

Tasked with purging Cybertron's core of Dark Energon, Optimus, his friend Ironhide, and rookie Autobot soldier Warpath travel to the core's entrance, discovering it has been converted into a Decepticon stronghold. The trio frees Omega Supreme, who has been tortured with Dark Energon, and defend Ratchet while he heals him, whereupon Omega grants the Autobots access to the core. Fighting their way past Deception soldiers and a Cybertronian worm corrupted by Dark Energon, the Autobots eventually reach the core, which speaks to Optimus. It reveals that the only way to fix the damages done by the Dark Energon is to reboot itself, which will leave Cybertron a cold, barren and lifeless planet for millions of years. However, the core can stay partially alive during this time if Optimus carries a small piece of it with him. Optimus accepts the burden and the core bestows the Autobot Matrix of Leadership into Optimus' chest. As a retool of the Power of the Primes toy, Selects Star Convoy retains the 2-piece Ion Blaster. It can also accommodate the chromed Matrix. Bumblebee: Right, but I was talking about this crater. Someone did this very recently, very fast. Other than you, who has that kind of power?At some point after Cybertron's Golden Age, a group of Sharkticons foresaw him as the being who would one day lead them to freedom. They managed to carve an image of him on a cave wall before they were executed. Retribution Ion blasters were among the weapons the Decepticons smuggled onto Cybertron via Hefter. Jetfire grabbed one and shot down a Decepticon enforcer, saving the life of Orion Pax. Feel Safe Without Regrets Prowl later claimed the weapon as evidence in the case. The Next Day, and the Next The player has the opportunity to play as both the Autobots and the Decepticons. Unlike previous Transformers games to do this, however, the plot for both factions will be entirely linear in nature, as opposed to Multiple Ending scenarios, with the Decepticon campaign taking place shortly before the Autobots. The game not only gives an idea of the events that led to both the Autobots' and Decepticons' exodus from Cybertron to Earth, it also shows up close how unflinchingly brutal the fighting was.

Mechanical Lifeforms: Aside from the Transformers themselves, the depths of Cybertron have weird floating robot squids and other such things. Evil Laugh: Starscream and Megatron are the most common users of sinister, bellowing laughter, though the latter only does it when he's either killed something big in a fight or achieved some important goal. Oh, Crap!: Bumblebee has a pretty good reaction of this when Trypticon touches down on the battlefield in the second trailer.The world of Cybertron was designed in such a way that the Transformers would have a proper scale on their homeworld. "It doesn't make sense that things would be smaller than them in their world," Tieger said, adding "the key character in scale was making their world gigantic and huge." [7] Matt Krystek, Lead Designer at High Moon stated that since the game is not tied to a movie they were able to tell their own story. He cited the G1 universe as the inspiration for the game. [8] Jim Daly, Lead Concept Artist at High Moon also cited the G1 universe as the main inspiration for the design of Cybertron itself, also stating that there were elements from Disney's TRON, Blade Runner, and the Aliens franchise. [8] The Smurfette Principle: Arcee and Slipstream are the only "female" Autobot and Decepticon respectively, and they're bonus characters playable only in multiplayer to boot. Slipstream's model doesn't even appear in the campaign, and Arcee is only briefly seen in the Kaon prison.

Upon being revived by Quintessons, Optimus used the weapon to chase away Galvatron. Dark Awakening When properly returned to life, Optimus kept his weapon and used it in the final battles of the Great War. The Rebirth, Part 2 The Rebirth, Part 3 Redshirt Army: Pretty much anyone that doesn't have a name are just cannon fodder to be slaughtered by the player. According to canon literature, most of them don't even have names to begin with. Released around the same time, The Transformers: The Movie toys released in the Studio Series toyline had also been described by Hasbro as being alternate universe counterparts to the War for Cybertron Trilogy characters, due to characters like Cyclonus and Galvatron being released in one line, while Scourge and the Sweeps were in the other. This made for more of an additional personal canon-type element to the story and playability between the lines.

Throat Light: The insides of some of the Cybertronians' mouths glow the two factions' respective eye colors (blue eyes for Autobots, red eyes for Decepticons). Megatron's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic " Transformers: War for Cybertron." Alright! What's the square root of pi?! What's the capital of Sierre Leone?! What's... awww, this 'ask questions later' thing doesn't work at all." Hasbro's Aaron Archer stated the game would be only part of a bigger group of media. "This won't be the only touch point. It's a big place that we're going to build off of." [8] At a BotCon 2010 panel, War for Cybertron Creative Director Matt Tieger stated Activision is currently in talks with Hasbro on creating additional titles. He also added that Hasbro is "considering" expanding the brand further into the realm of video games. [9] Joe Moscone, Senior Account Manager for Hasbro's public relations team, further clarified that War for Cybertron is in the same continuity as the Transformers: Prime animated series and Transformers: Exodus novel, and that this would be the primary continuity going forward. [10] Hasbro has released a toy line based on the War for Cybertron setting. [11] Transforming figures of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and Soundwave from the game have been released by Hasbro under the Transformers: Generations banner.
