Sure, I bet your thinking "So what another Transformers game, they all suck, what makes this one different?"

This one is different in that it isn't based on a movie, or the cartoon. It is the fight between the Decepticons and Autobots on their home planet, before they came to Earth. Also the fact that the developers themselves are huge Transformers fans and know what we want.

The game is being developed on the Unreal Engine and is being described as Gears of War meets Transformers. There will be 2 campaigns, one Autobot and one Decepticon, but they are both different. The Decepticon story takes place before the Autobot story, so you don't have to play the same story twice. Very nice.

Here is the first gameplay trailer.

The game is scheduled to release in June.

From everything I have read and seen about this game looks amazing. I can't wait to play it myself as a lifelong Transformers fan, and to also be a Gears of War style game, it's like their making it for me.

Already preordered....finally no more Michael Bay. Looks pretty awesome from that trailer :D

It looks good but i'm skeptical graphics look like they could use a little bit more work, but I wanna see some gameplay movie to game games don't usually work to well through their extensive history of time testing. Also, isn't it a little off? Didn't the transformers get their vehicles when they were coming to earth? So why did they have them in the game if it was before that? Or is it after they go to earth and then they go back?

There is a gameplay trailer out there and it looks good.

And yes, technically they got their vehicles when they arrived on earth, but if they didn't have those forms, they would just be horrible Michael Bay style-looking robots. There are some slight changes like Optimus not having the trailer and Soundwave is a vehicle and not a casette player (which I understand nowadays)

I'm curious to see how the story plays out and why they are the way they are in this.
