With E3 in full swing the new Transformers Fall of Cybertron news is coming in thick and fast. Matt Tieger has been answering fan questions on the Playstation Blog, with some interesting points coming out, such as:
- Big Bots – The response has been good to Bruticus and the other big guys. Matt Tieger says though that we have not discussed all of them yet.
- The story – It’s official canon, created in partnership with Hasbro, the official story of the departure from Cybertron. Matt believes it fits with any part of the franchise, so it is being kept open presumably.
- The length of the campaign – Gameplay length is actually longer than WFC.
- The G1 Optimus Prime unlock – The Generation 1 Optimus Prime character is a complete new model, not just a skin. He’s the only classic unlock that Matt Tiger can confirm, and it was done as something special for the fans picking the game up on day 1.
- Collector’s Edition – High Moon Studios are aware of the demand though there are no current plans for a Collector’s Edition. Matt Tieger sees each copy as special.
- Is Ultra Magnus in Fall of Cybertron? – In Matt’s own words, “I can say that Hasbro has confirmed an Ultra Magnus toy. That could be a hint about his role in game.”
Stay tuned for more Fall of Cybertron news!

Yeah, the first time sucked Devastator's big clanging wrecking balls, as PS3 users were left out of it
It's nice to hear that we will be part of this time around–I wouldn't mind if it was an exclusive for PS3 users or even a bit longer to toy around with it

Finally, someone else noticed this! I'm still upset about missing out on the beta last time!

Isn't the game's only triple changer Vortex? I remember Matt or Game Informer getting a little excited when introducing him.

Everyone in the game is already a triple-changer. Seems redundant to suddenly treat it as something special.

Can someone please ask if there will be triple changers at least in multiplayer
Springer and Blitzwing as triple changers and other bikes and transformers.
multiplayer would be amazing triple changers

Except there's been a concept art design for WFC Magnus using the Prime altmode for awhile now. It was in the DS version.

Hasbro's making of UM makes me think he's not in the game. It just seems like they would be more likely to repaint OP than make a new mold for him.
Prime Jetscream
Hey, I just noticed, he's going to give us something SPECIAL on PSN before the game launch!! YESSSSSSSS!!!
Also he said the singer for the trailer song is called The Everlove.

This may seem a bit disjointed as I’ve only included Matt’s answers, but I’m sure you can figure out the questions from his answers, so

anyone kind enough to summarize the interview? the link is blocked for me here at work

While I don't mind the idea of the Dinobots combining, I hope they look nothing like that at all. I would much rather they looked more like Predaking if they are to combine at all. However, I'm very happy with them being non-combiners, that's what they were for the past twenty something years, so I'm cool with that.
ShakesDaKlown
More combiners, eh? All 5 Dinobots, eh? Anyone else getting the sinking feeling we might get a High Moon version of THE BEAST?!?!?! *shudders*
Transformed
What's this +2,000 you speak of?
Prime Jetscream
+2,000 for the longer campaign.
AND THERE'S MORE GIANT BOTS?!?!?!! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!one!
Geterman
Did they ever say why they changed Optimus's design? I like the WFC one better, this one looks like he has a beer belly.
REMINATOR
Me too! First UMagnus WFC toy, now the game, looks like I have to get the game after all.
mysticbiscuit
Yessss!! Bring on Ultra Magnus!!! Can't wait!
Onslaught24
he's "unlocked" when you enter the code. that's why Gamestop always says "Unlock so and so when you preorder 'whatever-the-fuck-it-is-you're-preordering'"
