Transformers: War for Cybertron is an instant flashback
In the mix of the battle a new hero will merge to give add to saving the planet and that hero is Optimus Prime.
The game is divided by the decepticon's path and the autobot's path. So if you choice the autobots first you will play out the story with them as the main characters and vise versa of the decepticons.
During the whole story you run into many favorites to the Transformers world, some are playable others are potentials for the future of the game series.
Not to give to much away, but you will have to find and locate many different power sources and protect outpost until help can arrive. I fought that the autobots journey was more meaningful to the story. The real treat of being a Transformer is the online play.
With playing online you have the ability to recreate a childhood dream. I for example would be in a deathmatch and with the weapons and the type of Transformer I was I could zip into a situation do my damage and able to zip out before anyone knew what happen. Another time with playing the Code for Power online, me and my team set up a nice little force with an array of vehicles and weapons, we would hold our ground while protecting our fort, but then zip off to take over an available location before the opposing team does. It is fast and frantic.
With the DLC that came available the game seems to have lasting power and is a must play.
