One small bit of news that came from the Hasbro Investor Day event for November 2010 which I think needs some singled out attention –
War for Cybertron 2 was mentioned as a go for 2012.While we all thought and hoped it would happen, until now we had no official word. Things could still change, and this could just have been a forward looking statement about things that are very possible, but not concrete by folks at Hasbro while they talked up their projects to investors. However, it is great news to fans of the first game, and we are all happy to hear it.
Discuss away!

It's free though, unless there's also a 'become a member by paying rip off prices' like in Runescape.

well tfu is off the want list

Transformers Universe, the MMO by the Runescape guys, is a browser based game.
War for Cybertron 2, the 3rd person action game from High Moon, is a console game.

wait its a web browser?

I wonder if WFC2 will take favoured elements from the TFPrime game, TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE?
Never mind the plot for now. Create your bot, vehicle/plane/(anibot?). But instead of the browser RPG. Simpley have us blast each other senseless.
That's what TF fans want yes?
Creating our own ideal TFer and fighting them as a war for cybertron intended?
I could just imagine…
Someone's custom decepticon, HULK HOGATRON racing around in a stupid yellow red monster truck…
Being shot down by someone's custom… err… completely new TFer we haven't seen yet.
Stick that in a game. And I'll buy it.

Ah. I see.

I think they mean as an actual score that turns up at the end in the scoreboards. Y'know, along with the amount of kills and deaths you had, etc.
Rexidus
Um, there ARE assists in the scoring… If you damage a person but someone else gets the kill you get an Assist bonus.

I think they should add in assists in the scoring.

Yea, the same thing happens in Gears of War CONSTANTLY. But it would help, and be alot of fun, if High Moon would give it the Gears treatment with an exicution, like a curb stomp. Or maybe you could use your malee weapon and kill the downed opponent in different ways depending on what weapon your class has. Also I would like it to be where every class would get knocked down before dieing unless the blow was powerful enough to kill you on your feet.

I wish HMS would make it so that whoever downed a person in multiplayer should get the kill. It annoys me so much when I down somebody and some asshole comes and steals the kill.

C'mon, get real… High Moon is probably STILL using the same Unreal engine. multiplayer will stay a disaster.
6 players per team in WFC/DotM.
Tyrannosaur
Man I would love it if multiplayer had insanely huge maps and teams like Battlefield 3. Imagine two teams of 30 Autobots and Decepticons duking it out!
What was the max team size for WfC? Was it five or six or something like that?
Barricade24
I wonder what insanely big bosses we will go up against this time? I would love to see Devasator get in to WFC2.

I personally hope it (but I don't expect it to) ties in with Transformers: Exiles (Transformers: Exiles – Transformers Wiki). The first level could be the Ark and the Nemesis launching. Perhaps you could play as Magnus and the Wreckers fighting off Decepticons sent to stop the Ark Launch.

I want a multiplayer battle mode

I personally think that it's sad that I've had WFC all this time,and don't have the DLC.I 'm positive that it's the reason I can't play WFC online! I'd but both packs soon,but… I'm saving up for TF: Prime + Halo CEA,right now I got about 50,$55.so,yeah…loooong way to go.

The only danger with something like this is you don't want it to feel like it's setting up something that never comes. You don't want to give people the idea they're headed for Optimus-on-earth type levels only for those not to materialise.
I'd have it so maybe Optimus has Ultra Magnus send Rodimus to bring the device, but as he's approaching there's a Decepticon ambush and a massive explosion where it looks like the Ark with Optimus and crew were destroyed, but then before they can investigate that, the device falls into Decepticon hands. You have to set up a greater threat to keep the focus on the main characters.
I'd also like to see a mission on Metroplex and/or one of the moonbases at some stage. And I suppose Cybertron would be a more brokedown place than it was before. Maybe you could have a stage based around rebuilding a city, and then in a later Decepticon chapter you destroy the same place. Just brainstorming out loud here. …And maybe Brainstorm could show up at some point.

Or it could start with Optimus and the crew going on an Energon Mission, and you could have the first chapter on them trying to defend the Ark while it's taking off. The next Chapter would be you as the Decepticons infiltrating the Ark. Both Cons and Bots crash somewhere (Earth).
The rest could be Rodimus or Magnus trying to get to some device that could help end the war or something. Or possibly have the Decepticons taking over Cybertron and have the Autobots taking over a city. That would be an awesome mission.
