Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark was released in 2014, featuring segments both on Cybertron (though these segments take place before the events of this game) and Earth and is a Crossover between the game's universe and that of the live-action films, specifically Transformers: Age of Extinction. The debut trailer is here and the E3 2012 trailer featuring Metroplex here.

Jazz makes use of a grappling hook to reach higher vantage points to avoid snipers and Grimlock will only be able to transform into his T-Rex form once he smashes enough enemies and gets angry enough.Īs is traditional for Transformers games, the player can play as both factions, but instead of having separate Autobot and Decepticon campaigns (splitting the game down the middle as WFC did), it intermingles the playthrough to create one complete story told from different perspectives. The gameplay is more varied, as the abilities of certain characters will factor into the missions and different characters will have different gameplay styles, e.g. High Moon Studios has revamped the gameplay system extensively from its predecessor, changing quite a lot of the fundamentals to the point it is more of a natural successor rather than a true sequel. This involves the player taking on the roles and detailing the stories of many other characters including Jazz, Grimlock, Starscream, the Combaticons and Cliffjumper. After some time fighting them off and Optimus personally battling Megatron, the game then jumps back some time before they left Cybertron and details the major events that occurred to get them to this point. Intending to look for a new world to colonize, they are suddenly attacked by Megatron and his Decepticon forces. The game opens with the launching of The Ark, a massive city-ship meant to transport as many Autobots off world as possible. Because of this, it's Darker and Edgier than any other Transformers game. Now it's a race for both factions to gather what Energon and survivors they can to deal one last decisive blow to the other side before they flee the dying planet. Technically the Decepticons have won, but it's something of a Pyrrhic Victory since the war used up so much Energon and tore up most of Cybertron.


The sequel to 2010's Transformers: War for Cybertron, this game shows the tail end of the war before it left for Earth.
