The sequel to 2010's ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'', this game shows the [[After the End|the tailend]] of the War before it left for Earth. Technically the Decepticons have won the war, but since the planet is slowly dying it becomes a race to gather what survivors they can and get off the planet. Because of this it is set to be [[Darker and Edgier]] than any other [[Transformers]] game.
High Moon Studios has revamped the gameplay system extensively from its predecessor, changing quite a lot of the fundamentals to the point it is more of a natural successor rather than a true sequel. The gameplay is going to be more varied as the abilities of certain characters will factor into the missions and different characters will have different playstyles, e.g. Jazz makes use of a grappling hook to reach higher vantage points to avoid snipers and Grimlock will only be able to transform into his T-Rex form once he smashes enough enemies and [[You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry|gets angry enough]].

{{tropelist}}
* [[After the End]]: Following the events of [[Transformers: War for Cybertron|the first game]], Cybertron is in the process of shutting down and energon is in desperately short supply. Thick layers of ash cover much of the land, and many of the [[Tron Lines]] that were so prevalent before have gone dark.
* [[Arm Cannon]]: As a nod to ''[[Transformers Prime]]'', Optimus shifts his hand into a gun similar in appearence to what he uses in the series, only [[BFG|MUCH larger]]
Line 13 ⟶ 15:
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: Bruticus, from the current trailers is much bigger than he should be, meaning, as Matt Tieger put it, enemies that are your size before are just a minor hindrance.
** On the Autobots' side we have Metroplex, a transforming ''city''. Optimus Prime's special ability is to call down attacks from Metroplex, who can often be seen walking around in the background of stages.
* [[Berserker]]: Grimlock has so far been stated to be very angry with a lot of things, and his ability to use his T-Rex mode is, plotwise, triggered by him getting
* [[BFG]]: Most guns will be this.▼
* [[BFS]]: Grimlock's main weapon, which is certainly big compared to him, when one notices that how big he is, it's longer than some characters are tall.▼
▲* [[Berserker]]: Grimlock has so far been stated to be very angry with a lot of things, and his ability to use his T-Rex mode is, plotwise, triggered by him getting REALLY angry.
* [[Big Creepy-Crawlies]]: The Insecticons will also appear.
* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: Some info on the level where Grimlock is introduced says that Starscream will go up and throw some insults at him while he's still restrained, and he ends up getting too close, allowing Grimlock to grab him and throw him at a control panel, busting it up and freeing him. ▼
▲* [[
* [[Character Customization]]: Improved over the previous game and the DOTM tie-in. While previously online characters would be just identical to other characters save for changable weapons, abilities, and colour schemes, this time around the developers have confirmed various character pieces available to change and customize. However, this exact same thing was promised for the [[Revenge of the Fallen]] DS game, but instead only had three builds and alternate weapon choices, so it may be too early to tell completely. ▼

* [[Continuity Nod]]: The Nemesis is almost completely identical to its appearance in ''[[Transformers Prime]]''.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]
* [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs]]: The Dinobots. Why the Cybertronians know of dinosaurs is actually explained; Shockwave has been observing the fauna of far off planets.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Promotional materials have focused quite strongly on Bumblebee's heavy injuries. Specifically, a big gaping hole in his chest. It seems likely that the game will be showing how this universe's Bumblebee {{spoiler|ends up losing his voice}}.
* [[Grievous Harm with a Body]]: At the moment, Grimlock's only projectile will be grabbing enemies and throwing them.
Line 32 ⟶ 34:
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Shockwave, who's responsible for giving the Dinobots dinosaur altmodes and mutating the subterranean Insecticon creatures to make them even deadlier.
* [[Oh Crap]]: When the Decepticon troops see Metroplex in the E3 trailer, they ''run like hell''.
* [[PC vs. Console]]: This game will be exclusive to the Xbox 360 and [[
** Funnily enough, on Friday 1 June, the game WAS [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|announced for PC.]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: The Decepticons as usual have this as per default. But the Autobots also have certain members of the Dinobots displaying this trait as well (and they are traditionally more dangerous or aggressive in combat than your typical Autobot).
** Certain members indeed. In the second trailer Swoop and Slug have blue eyes. The latter case is ''very'' interesting, since he's traditionally one of the most aggressive. (Grimlock had red in both modes.)
** Not to mention Metroplex's eyes glow red. But with him, that's not so much the real warning. Him transforming at ALL is the real warning, in and of itself.
* [[Scenery Gorn]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-huDrDiMwJU The World Premiere] trailer.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: The game is set for release for the autumn of 2012. '''Fall''' of Cybertron, get it?
Line 43 ⟶ 45:
** [[Combining Mecha]]: Courtesy of the Combaticons, and Bruticus is playable, giving us more...
** [[Humongous Mecha]]: [[Genius Loci|Metroplex]] is also making an appearance, letting us see the good counterpart of Trypticon.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: This [https://web.archive.org/web/20121022165329/http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/4/24/2962458/grimlock-high-moon-dinobots-transformers-cybertron-activision article] indicates that Shockwave might just be seeking to save his home.
