Video game website GameTrailers.com has uploaded a new trailer for Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, this time focusing on the Decepticons leader himself, Megatron. The Megatron is question is the “Aligned” version from Fall of Cybertron, still rocking the upgraded body he acquired in that game.
The trailer shows off some new gameplay, showing off his melee moves, transformation, and of course, fighting some Autobots.
Check it out after the jump!

It's new. Thanks

Some new photos of megatron. Not sure if it was posted.

I agree, hopefully all the characters have new attacks.

It's also interesting that in the gameinformer website they say the game will let players choose whether it wants to play from the perspective of the Autobots or the Decepticons.
So could this mean there are two separate campaigns?

From what I've read in my gameinformer, The cybertron missions are sort of a flashback to right before the ARK takes off, so it makes sense Megatron has his new body, we should also find out what happened to them when they went through the portal, either through gameplay or audio logs like FOC

Cool. I like how Megatron's additional melee attacks look. I also like that sword he's wielding.

Well, FOC had 5 chapters in a row, all taking place on the same day and only about half of this game takes place in the FOC Universe so it should hopefully be alright.
I guess it depends on how they do it.
Dillatron
You are right.

I think they said it was just before the launch of the Ark.
Which doesn't exactly provide a lot of opportunity for a good plot…

I just thought of something guys. Didn't we get confirmation that this game is a prequel to FoC? Didn't Megatron get his new form in FoC? That's quite a huge continuity error…
Prime Jetscream
Uh, well at least the music is awesome.

Don't get smart with me Mecha, because I've got Sarah Palmer's number on speed dial just in case.

The clips you are talking about is from solo escalation not the campaign.

Still wouldn't have hurt for Hasbro to have released a figure of Megatron's upgraded FoC body; preferably in voyager size, but oh well. At least I have the new Generations Leader Megatron to look forward to.
I wonder if they tweaked the melee system for RotDS? It looks like they may have, which would be interesting because I'm not a huge fan of the quick, single strike combat that WFC and FoC did. It'd be nice to be able to string some combos, at least up to three hits like you could do in the RotF game. Maybe add a blocking/parrying mechanic as well.

Load up Fall of Cybertron. Boom. There you go.

The WfC figure and FoC model are close enough for me that it didn't really matter.
Dillatron
I agree.

As much as I would love a demo, I doubt there will be one.

I'm saddened by the fact that we never got an FoC Megatron figure. I'm quite fond of the design (his sword is bloody epic looking). The game looks decent so far, hopefully a demo is released soon, if at all.
