    By far the best part of War For Cybertron was this interaction
    Starscream: Unbelievable! These Autobots are dumber than Skywarp!
    Skywarp: "Dumber than Skywarp?" I'll show you dumb, Starscream!
    Starscream: You always do.

      I thoroughly enjoyed this doc of yours. After seeing the recent Bumblebee commercial, I remembered how fantastic War for Cyberton and Fall of Cyberton were as well as the 2004 Armada game that was my first ever Transformers video game experience. It's overall sad how the events for the Cybertron series went about but I'm also kind of glad that it ended too. Don't get me wrong, I loved these games but after Bay, Transformers really needed a low point to potentially cause a shift in direction and a franchise refresh...I hope this Bumblebee movie can influence the start of another great era of the Transformers IP. One can hope I suppose lol

    I’ve been playing the Fall Of Cybertron play through over and over again since like 2017 or 2018, thanks to my brother buying it back when it was still on the Xbox Microsoft store back in around 2016, although I think the last time I played it was 2022. Now that I think about it’s probably in my top 10 favourite games of all time.

    Fun fact: Rise of the Dark Spark was the first game that made me realized how easily "recyclable" games can be. I felt especially cheated when I saw how they just copy-pasted a huge part of the Iacon map in Wars for Cybertron and called it part of Kaon. *facepalm*

      Very good commentary too. That's the first time a reviewer of the games mentioned each character having very unique gameplay mechanics. For me, I never need to play another hack-and-slash, stealth, or mech game bc of FOC. I can play Cliffjumper or Starscream to play stealth, Grimlock for hack-and-slash, and Bruticus as a super-mech!

    Honestly the Cybertron games are some of my most favorite games ever and I will never forget them. They gave us a Story not really much explored up to the point of their releases a story set purely on Cybertron, and not set on Earth with (occasionally) annoying Human characters. I feel that the Movieverse and all Transformers games and stories going forward should really learn from the Cybertron games, for they truly are so awesome and explored my most favorite part of the entire Mythos.

They are my favorite Transformers games as well as my favorite shooting games. I was hoping for them to remaster War for Cybertron for PS4 and Xbox One like they did with Fall of Cybertron with a few fixes.

Believe me, game devs can move over to basic software development and make 3-5x the amount they would in games. Game devs are usually in it for the passion of what they do.
    The reason games fail is usually due to a lack of time, budget and in most cases both. Things the devs have zero control over.

There is a particular mission in the game that is reminiscent of Chapter 3 in WFC with the trains and no joke, the mission in Destiny seems pretty much like an homage to that mission in WFC.

    HMS put their heart and soul into the cybertron games. They respected the source material but also showed us a part of the lore that we never really saw before. The atmosphere was up there with other top tier games and the gameplay itself was solid. The designs for the characters are some of the best in the franchise and the campaigns in both were great.
    It's a shame that activision cared more about cashing in on the bay movies instead of letting HMS continue with the cybertron games. It should have been a trilogy but the corporate suits at AV robbed us of it and it's a damn shame.

    this video brought a tear to my eye , Woc and Foc where indeed my favorite TF games and one of my favorite continuities , its upsetting that the games have been pulled from the market places and that any used copies in the wild are going to be the only ways for others to enjoy these 2 great titles , or devastation which was decent brawler game . Activision be cursed for their handling of this IP and not making it so they could keep the catalog up to enjoy

    So because High Moon made Deadpool and it was a commercial flop Activision never green lighted a final War For Cybertron game from High Moon? That's really dumb. Here's hoping they can make another one. Those games were some of the best Transformers storytelling in the last decade.
    My idea for the sequel: "The Death of Cybertron" Megatron and Optimus Prime are gone. Who leads the Decepticons and Autobots on Cybertron now? I'd want to see another story the fans never saw: the war on Cybertron with Shockwave as Decepticon commander and Ultra Magnus leading the last of the Autobots on a dying Cybertron. Even though it'd be a Transformers game without Megatron and Optimus, if High Moon made it I would buy it.

    Came across this video after so long, yet this is a great material. I did my own research for personal curiosity and several key points are spot on.
    Both War and Fall of Cybertron (aka Cybertron series) are indeed the sole games I consider cannon to the excellent re-interpretation material. There was a soul and an understanding what transformers were.
    I do not consider the third game part of the story, but essentially because I do not consider anything the recent movies did to be cannon... I could give Bumblebee movie a pass though for those awesome 5 minutes in Cybertron.
    I would love for a true continuity from 1 & 2, and it could even be on Earth... It just shouldn't have "Bayham" content or aesthetics. It is so disappointing we do not have High Moon anymore, they understood respect for the source material.

    I am hoping that HASBRO decides to revisit High Moon Studios and the Cybertron games. I sort of grew up on them and I still want to see the story continue from there. The developers of the Cybertron games knew what they were doing and it showed in the final product. Not a single pixel wasn't left unpolished and everything felt like it had been through the worst. Every detail was placed in just the perfect spot, every character was given life. And it is a real shame that we may never get a continuation of this story. Even if it simply explained where some characters went, like how Omega Supreme was just dropped into the 4th dimension never to be seen again, I would still probably buy it. These games are fantastic and deserve more to their story. But that may never come. I wish it would, but it may not. I have these on Xbox 360, and i have completed them a few times. Each time I do, i find new little references to other transformers media that I didn't notice the first time. Even though i have all the upgrades for all the weapons and all the perks and gadgets, they are still some fun games. I wish they would conclude the story with atleast one more game, but they might not. At least we were blessed with the two games that showed that you can create a really good transformers game if you actually care about what is being made. Farewell War/Fall of Cybertron. You will be missed.

I remember the day I had gotten WFC and when I had gotten FOC, looking back at those titles made me sad because now many games are turning out like ROTDS where they are a cash grab (Destiny 1 & 2) and its for one reason only. The devs, typically it’s EA and Activison but what can we do? It’s not like we have billions of dollars to make new games....

    Crazy story.. when i was younger (around 8-10) The only reason i was introduced to “transformers: war for cybetron” was because i lost the disc to “transformers: rise of the fallen” and my dad told my step mom to go to the store to buy me the same game so i would quit whining to him that i want the game. My step mom then proceeded to come back from the store the next day with the game. But when she gave me the game it wasn’t rise of the fallen. It was war for cybetron. And I didn’t fuss to much about it because it was still a transformers game and a new one so I played it with my dad a bit before he went to work and i fell in love with it. We ended up finding the rise of the fallen game under the rug😅. Later in the future i got the fall of cybetron game and was so happy. I am glad i was able to play both games without being told about it and found out about both games myself. So im glad i lost the transformers rise of the fallen game so I would be introduced to “Transformers: War for cybetron”
