It took 26 years to get right, but High Moon Studios' Transformers: War for Cybertron is the game that the fans have been waiting for. It's is also a testament to a development house who is interested in doing more than just riding the coat tails of a popular franchise or creating another bland, yet money making sequel. Talking with the members of the War for Cyberton team, one gets the sense that this was more than just another game to them.

Product Details

  • When he must get involved in a fight himself, he does so with cold fury
  • Advancing meticulously across the battlefield with his fire focused on the most dangerous opponent
  • Hear cool conversion sounds as you twist and turn this awesome decepticon warrior from battle-ready robot figure to assault vehicle mode

Product Description

Not as fast or powerful as the DECEPTICON fliers, POWERGLIDE relies instead on his raw skill as a combat pilot. Where his enemies rely on afterburners and advanced weapon systems, he executes loops, flat spins, and other aerial maneuvers that make even the craziest and most foolhardy DECEPTICONS backfire out of fear. In a sky full of bad guys, you can always easily spot POWERGLIDE twisting and diving through enemy fire, dodging missiles, and generally outclassing even the best among the DECEPTICON air warriors.
