saw this first on GoNintendo. Here's the Amazon link:

Oh man! I wish it was going to be about Rampage!

 

Nice find. Could this be a game based off the movie or is this a stand alone game? Also will it appear on any other platforms?

 

If only it was the third high moon studio game...

 

Amazon has it listed as an xbox 1 game. GoNintendo said it was coming to WiiU and 3DS too. I imagine it'll hit everything.

 

Same here.

Thanks for the info!  

 

It's also listed for PS4 and all other consoles.

 

360?

 

That too.

 

hopefully they'll give out some more info soon. Just wondering since I don't post very often, does this count as a news credit?

 

Bought.

 

Want, now.

 

I look forward to hearing more about it

 

Curious. I'm glad it's for PS3 as well otherwise I would not be impressed.

I think I'll keep an eye on it.

 

If you think outside the box this is the release for age of extinction (released in all formats, dark spark linking to the story arc ;-p) I was given hints about the game and this looks like the one for a prequel story to AOE

 

Huh interesting

 

Dark Spark? I wonder who that could allude to....

 

Perhaps it refers to Unicron? If the Allspark is said to be the creator of all Cybertronian life, perhaps the Dark Spark is the destroyer?

 

Although not guaranteed it is likely to have some tie-in to the movie. The 'announcement' does seem appropriate given we're expecting a full trailer soon and a toy fair reveal.

 

Read here  

n the beginning, in a dimension filled with life energy, called Zone Energy, there was only one Spark (or Lasercore), spawned from primal energies of that plane. The Original Spark (or Lasercore) had the ability to merge with any machine and become its central nervous system in order to give that machine life. Its offspring shared this ability. It divided into several smaller sparks, each possessing unimaginable power. Some of these sparks were violent and territorial, while others were peaceful and benevolent and shunned their brutal siblings. Many of the brutal sparks left the Zone Dimension, spread out across the universe, while the benevolent ones remained behind, growing in wisdom and knowledge.

The violent sparks devoured all life and destroyed all matter they encountered, growing stronger and stronger. When there was no matter left to devour they turned on each other. Most were destroyed or devoured by a powerful, dark spark. Some of the violent ones fled to other dimensions to escape the dark spark. Evetually all matter was destroyed and all life in the universe devoured, and all that was left was the dark spark. Finally contented, the dark spark slumbered.

As it slept, the cosmic fragments of destroyed matter reacted with each other and created a new universe. The many of the benevolent sparks left the Zone Dimension and nurtured the newborn life that was growing in the universe.

Eventually, the dark spark awoke, and without questioning how this new universe came to be, began destroying and devouring anew. Most of the benevolent sparks were destroyed or devoured by the dark spark.

The most powerful of the benevolent sparks was found by an alien named Primacron, who named it Primus. As the Spark developed, Primus proved to be very powerful. Primus developed the power to reproduce without diminishing his own essence, unlike his siblings which multiplied by dividing, splitting into perfect duplicates of the parent (but with only half the strength and power of the parent Spark [or Lasercore], and thus giving their offspring common memories. Primus' children were individuals with no memories prior to creation. He found favor in the Primacron's sight. Primacron made Primus his assistant. Primacron would build magnificent robots (he even designed a body for Primus to inhabit) and Primus would fill them with life. Primus' joy grew greater and greater as more of his offspring came to life.

Primacron & Primus had worked together for many years upon a special project: a small planetoid that would fuel itself off of space debris, called Unicron, that could also transform into a robot. As the project neared completion, the dark spark found them. Primus battled the dark spark, but the dark spark was too powerful. Primus tricked the dark spark into merging with the Unicron body, trapping the dark spark within it, but also forging a psychic link between the two.

Primacron, unaware of the dark spark's existence, sees Unicron transform of its own accord. Primacron tries to override his creation, but to no avail. Unicron turns it's full fury upon Primacron's lab. Primus' body was destroyed, as well as his children. Primus, seeking to draw Unicron away from Primacron, fled, and led Unicron on a chase across the Galaxy. Primus finally hid within a large metallic, too large for Unicron to ingest. Frustrated, Unicron drifted away, to devour more and grow larger.

But Primus was not alone. Inside the planet lived metallic monsters, who devoured the very metal of the planet, as well as any other creature that happened to fall within their grasp. They attacked Primus, but were no match for him. Primus, unwilling to destroy another living being, placed the creatures into a deep sleep and entombed them deep within the planet.

Primus, sensing the mental link that he and Unicron shared, went into a trance, in the hope that he would remain hidden from Unicron, perhaps even thought to be dead, until he was ready to face the dark spark again.
