Transformers: Fall of Cybertron review: wheels of steel

By Arthur Gies on Aug 21, 2012 08.21.12

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is easily the best thing to happen to the property since, well, Transformers: War for Cybertron.

It was fast, it was violent, and it sold Transformers like no other game ever had. Ignoring 2011's disastrous Dark of the Moon - and really, let's do that - Fall of Cybertron marks High Moon's second crack at the Transformers prequel universe it created, and it has managed an impressive second act. The fundamentals present in War for Cybertron have returned (minus one surprising omission) but High Moon has gone several steps further. By...

In a new post on Activision blogger Dan Amrich's website One of Swords, those secrets are exposed with detailed instructions. Some of the Easter Eggs in Fall of Cybertron are simply cameos by Transformers like Rumble and Laserbeak, while others refer to classic gags and references to the original cartoon. In one, Decepticon Soundwave appears hidden as a lamppost — not a boombox — as he did in an early episode of the Transformers cartoon. In another, Grimlock's apron and bow tie, another TV show reference, appears hidden in a secret room. There's plenty more hidden away in the game, as detailed by High...
