Unlike its predecessor, Fall of Cybertron’s campaign blends the two factions’ sides of the story into one fluid series of levels instead of having one for the Autobots and one for the Decepticons. From there the game flashes back to the main story leading up to these events. Players eventually reach Optimus, who at the time is about to be blown to bits before Bumblebee jumps in to save his leader. The level also teases certain characters early on such as Soundwave and Bruticus, who can be seen ravaging the ship. The new mechanics for sprinting, item pickups, abilities, weapons systems, and weapon arm swapping are introduced as Bee progresses towards his objective. Players are guided through this tutorial level as Bumblebee, who must help rid the ship of the invading Decepticons and reach Optimus to help him in his fight against Megatron. Fall of Cybertron opens on that Ark, mid-battle as the Decepticons give chase in an attempt to prevent the Autobots from escaping through the space bridge. Prime states that they will continue to resist him, though in time they too will leave on the newly-commissioned Ark. War for Cybertron closes with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Air Raid, and Jetfire watching as their fellow Autobots leave Cybertron in various ships, Bumblebee noting that Megatron is still out there. Finally, on August 21st, 2012, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron was released in North America for Xbox 360, Play Station 3, and PC. As time went on since the game’s announcement, Hasbro and the developers flooded TF news outlets with game updates, behind-the-scenes looks, and toy reveals to keep the hype train sufficiently fueled. Two months later at the VGA Awards, the first cinematic trailer was released, giving the Transformers fandom and many others outside it confirmation that the High Moon team were going to deliver something incredible. Transformers: Fall of Cybertron was set to take over the November issue of Game Informer with two different cover spreads, and full feature coverage inside which included first looks at some characters, environments, and the story to come. On October 6th, 2011 the sequel to the landmark Transformers: War for Cybertron video game was officially announced.
