Transformers Games That Still Rock Our World
Remember the days when Activision was known for more than just Call of Duty? Back then, they brought us some epic Transformers games like Transformers: War for Cybertron and its sequel, Fall of Cybertron. Fast forward to 2025, and it's a bummer that these awesome sci-fi shooters are hard to get your hands on. Recently, a new Transformers game by Splash Damage was canceled, leaving fans longing for a modern AAA game that the franchise truly deserves. Let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit these classic Transformers games.
Transformers: War for Cybertron
War for Cybertron is a third-person action shooter that immerses you in the civil war on Cybertron. You can choose to play as either the Autobots or the Decepticons, diving deep into the lore of the Transformers universe. Forget about Earth or humans; this game is all about the intense battles that lead to the fall of Cybertron.
The game mechanics are reminiscent of other third-person shooters from that era, with a touch of Gears of War-style action. But instead of soldiers, you get to control giant transforming robots with big guns. The ability to transform into a car or hover tank adds a unique twist to the gameplay.
Fall of Cybertron
The sequel, Fall of Cybertron, continues the action-packed saga. Both games deliver on the promise of sci-fi action and Transformers lore. You get to blast through metal corridors filled with robot drones, all while enjoying the quirky names and personalities of the Transformers.
- Transform into vehicles for faster movement and stronger weapons.
- Experience the rich lore and characters of the Transformers universe.
- Engage in intense third-person shooter action.
Playing in 2025
So, how do you play these classics in 2025? It's not a walk in the park. The games were pulled from digital stores, so you can't just grab them on Steam. However, you can find used Xbox 360 copies online, but you'll need the console since they're not backward compatible.
For PC gamers, there are ways to get your hands on these games. Once you have them, you can tweak the settings to enjoy War for Cybertron at 120 FPS. It's a shame that these gems aren't available on modern hardware, especially since Hasbro is keen on bringing them back.
The Need for a Comeback
Despite Hasbro's interest, Activision hasn't made a move to remaster or port these games. It's been too long since we had a big-budget Transformers game. Hopefully, the companies involved can strike a deal to bring these titles back to digital stores, giving fans a chance to relive the action.
