The full feature on the newest Transformer game will be included in Game Informer magazine on December 14, but a short teaser video has already been posted.
Its highly unlikely this is in-game footage, but it does give us a peak at what Cybertron in this game shorld look like. Also, check out the big guy at the end!
Game Informer has a TF mini-site where new information about the game will be posted all this month.

Former 1UP and current Game Informer writer Phil Kollar has been teasing his big cover story for the magazine on twitter lately, and he just fessed up some details: “Yes, it’s a new Transformers game.”

Xbox 360, PS3, and PC versions of the game are on the way, tenatively titled “The War For Cybertron”
Artwork from the magazine (left) shows Optimus Prime, and theres a hearty influence of The War Within, as action will be set before our favorite transforming robots arrive on Earth.

TheAllspark broke the story earlier this evening, but Kollar says images and a trailer will be online later this week. Look for the issue of Game Informer at GameStop very soon.

A BotCon video! In September?

BotCon 2009 was a great time. We talked about it in Episode 11 of the Powetcast, but we also shot a bunch of video at the convention itself. Fans of the Powetcast and Transformers fans alike should enjoy this little peak into the event of the year, before we were let down by Revenge of the Fallen.

After having received more requests than any previous figure in the past, I finally finished this review with you all. YouTube was a little strict, so I had to do a little creative editing. Hope you enjoy!
