Transformers: War for Cybertron

For those who are interested, I found out about this game on tfw2005.com. IMO, sounds like a pleasing Transformers game (even though it's still a work in progress). The style is a mix between Generation 1 and War Within.
Here's the link to the game's site:

The question is will it be good.

Hopefully it'll be better than the other TFs based games.

keypoints from the podcast for Transformers: War For Cybertron @ tfw2005.com wrote:* The game is a 3rd person shooter, with gameplay like Gears of War.
* Cover can be destroyed, fully destructable environments.
* The backgrounds and backdrops will not be static. (Things will happen in the NPC world, such as energon being transported, machinery working, maybe even cameos).
* Story missions and Co-op are confirmed--a team of at least three other characters is confirmed. There will also be both multiplayer and single player modes.
* Three vehicle classes: Tanks, Jets and another unmentioned class. Depending on the classes and your abilities, the levels will be multi-tiered and have different paths. For jets, this means multiple vertical levels to explore.
* All characters have two different time-based skills (e.g. Shield, invisibility, teleport, etc.).
* Storyline is one story broken into two interlocking parts, Decepticon Campaign (first half) and the Autobot Campaign(last half). It is an origin story.
* Second level is set to explain Starscream and Megatron's relationship. (The first level was previously confirmed as being the tale of the first meeting of Megatron and Starscream).
* Many of the G1 actors are coming back to reprise their original roles. A formal announcement will be made at a later date in 2010; however, Peter Cullen is confirmed as Optimus Prime.
* Hasbro has said this game is canon.

Look, the change of style for Transformers is NOT something new, it's old. Take Transfromers Armada (~2003) for instance or at least Beast Wars (1996), the character designs look different. The change of style's been around for a long time. The designs are gonna be totally different from the Movie designs. take Megatron for instance, he now looks more like a evil robotic overlord (e.g. Transformers Animated) rather than a terrifying beast (Bayformers). And he kinda reminds me of Animated Megatron (just slightly).
And you guys never seen the War Within style of Transformers?! here they are

New Trailer:

Looks like it's gonna beat the crap out of ROTF (or the 1st Bayformer)

Website is pretty cool, I like the initial transmission dial that you have to decode.

Except for the fact when you finally get 100% recovery it doesn't do anything!!!??
