"In an interview with The Verge’s Polygon, Tieger talks about how Hasbro shut down his initial plans for Grimlock to appear in Fall of Cybertron. Paraphrased by Tieger, Hasbro said “That sounds really exciting — to you — but for us, it doesn’t really work.” Sounds pretty simple, right? Earth dinosaurs on an alien planet needs some explanation, otherwise it’ll tip the melting pot of insanity that is the Transformers canon over the edge. That’s not starting a fight. That’s asking the guy directing the game based on your property to follow the rules of the world in which the game is set." -Mike C, Velocity Gamer
While originally only the PlayStation and Steam stores were affected, now all the Transformers games on Xbox One and Xbox 360 have been delisted from the marketplaces.
Legend of Korra has been delisted from all marketplace stores as well. The rights expired with Activision.
Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "Transformers: Fall of Cybertron was a remarkable game, it continued the story line that War setup and presented players with the world of Cybertron which is often only mentioned in most media. "
Both 'War for' and 'Fall of' are really well made games. Much better than any of the movie licensed ones.
I love these games way better then the movie crap that was put out. Too bad the third game Rise of the Dark Spark sucked they had a great franchise going on with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron.
Despite the franchise being almost perfect for a line of video games, many of the Transformers games have been mediocre or plain terrible.
"It’s not all bad new for fans though, because there is a new animated TV series based on the original Generation 1 series and toyline coming too."
I'd never heard of that. Would be interesting to see, tho.
Awesome how they came up with an alternative storyline!
All we need now is for Acvtivision to stay away from the development side of things.
