An article Gameinformer posted describing the enemies in FOC. Some new screenshots/concept art too.

Clever Devils: The Enemies And AI Of Fall Of Cybertron - Features - www.GameInformer.com

 

Meh....

Fall of 2012 is too far away and these tid bits only make it torture to endure the fact, so I'd rather put this out of my mind until we're closer to the release date.

Though it's likely that sites like these will make that challenging.

 

Those autobot heavy troopers kind of look like the bot con autotroopers. (Except with red on them, and they're more bulkier)

 

so now we can use more interesting strategies to defeat drones. now all that's missing is using team mates to help flank them.

 

Not a fan of the Leaper design. It looks half-finished.

That autobrute is pretty cool though, and looks absolutely massive. At first I was thinking ?Metroplex, but it looks like these are all essentially drones.

 

HA

 

I would like too see a cyberverse series made out of the transformers on the game includingthe enemies. And possibly WFC Trypticon And Omega Supreme.

 

I find it kind of crappy that we go from having actual Cybertronian enemies to what look to be mindless drones between games. I much preferred the WfC NPCs to these. It doesn't feel like a civil war to me if 99% of the combatants are just automatons who never choose their side, they're just fighting for whoever built them.

 

Take it that hasbro is goin to tell everyone they are goin to make figures out of these, and then only make 3... Takes!

 

Freaking LOVE the Guardian.

 

I don't care what anybody says, I love all this gaming news. Other than a Transformers fanatic, I LOVE video Games! Over 700 in my collection. So the merging of these two things and anything about them really whets my appetite. It does suck that I'll be waiting for a year to see the game, however. But I have always lived by the policy that a development team should take their time in order to make a great game. A whole other year in all actuality, just makes me smile.

 

The generic Decepticons look more like drones than Cybertronians.

 

Not impressed. At least in WfC the genericons often transformed into cars and planes and gave you the impression you were fighting other Transformers.

 

hot dam! thous drones are looking BAD ASS. the leaper is a little generic for my tastes. but the decepticon guardian is freaking awesome. i love the concept art for him and the flying sniper one. the white and purple are an awesome combo. the autobot that turns into the flying attack craft is also bad ass. the enemies in this game are gonna be awesome. cant wait to see more!

 

Interesting...

 

and besides, i don't understand why everyone is upset at the drone aesthetic. the decepticons use drones all the time. like the dreadwing payload and swindle drones from the movie comics. only difference i see is these look more like true drones than copies of a single decepticon. id say these look like they were designed for efficiency. if i were a decepticon general, why would i want to make a drone look like a regular cybertronian when i could make him an efficient drone designed to kill and only kill? so, i like the drone aesthetic. besides, the autobot enemies look much more like regular cybertronians than the decepticon enemies do. which is fitting, because they are autobots. good guys would use real people as opposed to drones.

but thats just my   ...... 

 

Yeah, but Dreadwing, Payload etc. were individual characters with Drone armies

 

While I've never been too keen on drones, I am Geewunny enough to easily accept reflector and Insecticon drones. Perhaps Sentinal drones too.

I guess the key is to make sure the drones aren't too distinctive, so you don't notice the repetition as much during play.

 

yes, i realize that. i was just referring to their real transformer templates to identify the drones themselves. you could say the same of the sweeps. they were still drones. only difference between them and these FOC con drones is they were based off a real transformer.

 

Reflector units and Sweeps aren't Drones, more like clones
