High Moon Studios has announced two more downloadable content packs for Transformers: Fall for Cybertron today, one of which is available now. They each include a handful of new characters for multiplayer, with swappable parts for the character creator. The DLC packs are priced at $9.99 apiece across all platforms.
Robots are pretty great, aren't they? Being a robot though, well, philosophers are still yet to decide whether it'd be super cool or totally wack. While they debate that issue, why don't you enjoy a little taste of robo-life with the Transformers: Fall of Cybertron demo, which launches today for Xbox 360 on PlayStation 3.
Undoubtedly, one of the biggest draws of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is its officially-approved canonical story (spoiler: Cybertron falls). But, many others just want to see some hot robot-on-robot violence, and a new multiplayer trailer shows it off.
In the debut trailer for the multiplayer modes, we can see some of the customization features, a brief glimpse of the maps, and plenty of combat. The game launches on August 21. Check out the multiplayer footage below.
The war between the Autobots and Decepticons will continue a week earlier than expected as the Tranformers try to save their dying home world. Tranformers: Fall of Cybertron is now being released on August 21, publisher Activision said today.
Transformers Prime, a game based on the TV show of the same name, may be coming to one more Nintendo platform. In the game's official platform listings, it states that the title will be coming for the upcoming Wii U system along with the various other platforms.
High Moon Studios' Transformers games have served as a delicious dessert to get the taste of Michael Bay out of our mouths. Even the one based on a Michael Bay movie was better than the actual Michael Bay movie. Part of that is the authenticity of the characters, who aren't racist caricatures and tend to feature some recognizable voice talent. High Moon has announced the cast for the upcoming Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, and it features some familiar faces.

High Moon Studios surprised fans when it made a good game out of the Transformers license with War for Cybertron. Two years later, fans are getting a proper sequel--one that appears to end the Cybertron series.
Fall of Cybertron certainly starts with a bang: the destruction of the Autobots' home planet. It's a great narrative hook, one that worked well with Uncharted 2. High Moon makes it immediately clear that Fall of Cybertron will be much darker than its predecessor. While it's a bit odd to see talking robots in such a grave situation, fans are probably eager to know that this game covers such a key part of the franchise's lore.

Update: High Moon Studios responds with more information on the PC developer.
Despite some doubts and trepidation, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron will come to PC after all. High Moon had previously expressed doubts that it had the skills needed to handle a PC port. "I know that it's not a huge leap to do a PC SKU, but it is different," said game director Matt Tieger. "It's outside of our area of expertise, to be honest."
Activision already has one Transformers game in the pipeline, but what's the harm in another? The company announced Transformers Prime today, a game set on the TV show of the same name. Since it's targeted at a younger audience, the game is slated to come this fall on Nintendo's family of systems: Wii, 3DS, and DS.
Music rarely moves me when paired with footage of giant robots reenacting their favorite scenes from Fight Club, but that doesn't mean it can't look cool.
During the Spike VGAs, High Moon Studios debuted a new trailer for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. In the footage we watch a detailed battle between the Decepticons and Autobots, set to the haunting song 'The Humbling River' by Puscifer. It's no 'Dare to be Stupid,' but it'll do.
High Moon Studios is continuing to roll out Transformers games, with the announcement of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. The game, due in 2012, continues the story from last year's War for Cybertron. The game features the war between the Autobots and Decepticons coming to a head, and leading to abandoning their dying planet.
