Transformers: War For Cybertron PS3 review

, As is clear from the name, is all about the epic struggle between Autobots and Decepticons, as the two factions fight for control of the robots' home world. Functioning as a prequel of sorts to the 80s series, the game details the rise of the Decepticons and Autobots we loved as kids, and tells the tale of Megatron and Optimus Prime's intense feud.

Players get the chance to fill the shoes of both good and evil, and the single-player campaign features several chapters, half of which are played from the Decepticon point of view, and the other Autobot. The chapters aren't the usual ‘here's what Optimus was doing whilst you were controlling Megatron' type affair, but instead the whole story is one arc, with the Decepticon events preceding the Autobot levels.

However, although the Decepticon levels take place first, you can, if you like, skip to the beginning of the Autobot phase, and then go back to the dark side later, and you can flit between them as you like.

Bootleg Tuesday - July 20th

Yep, it's that time again -- and for once, it's on time as well! Join us for a quick look at yet another Transformers knockoff in...

Bootleg Tuesday - July 20th

A while back, we took a look at some oversized Mini-Con cars. That was all well and good, but that piece didn't sit right with me for a long time because I felt that something was missing. As it turns out, something was indeed absent from that piece: the fourth member of that set! Well, I just located that figure while searching for a bootleg to spotlight this week, and I think it'll do the job nicely.

Transfans (as in Transformers fans, not the other definition) familiar with Transformers: Armada will recognize this as Corona Sparkplug, a slightly retooled and presumably powered-up version of Optimus Prime's tiny partner. Whereas the actual Mini-Con sported a gold chrome finish, this oversized knockoff is simply cast in silver/grey plastic with red plastic underneath for the limbs... which, while being significantly less snazzy, still manages to look pretty darned good. If the pieces pegged together more securely and the arms weren't so floppy at the shoulder hinges (if I didn't have them positioned as such, they'd collapse into the body and appear nearly indistinguishable from the torso), this would be a pretty successful robot mode for a bootleg.

So here it is in vehicle mode. Aside from the bits of red plastic peeking out here and there, it looks pretty decent -- kinda reminds me of the DeLorean from Back to the Future (even though I never saw those movies). As with all of the bootlegs from this set, it doesn't fit together perfectly (owing to a few well-placed pegs, however, it does fit together quite well) but rolls superbly.
