War for Cybertron was fantastic, and Fall of Cybertron built off of that to be an even better game, while including the Combaticons (By our pieces combined, I AM BRUTICUS!) and the Dinobots.
Rise of the Dark Spark bridges a few of the gaps that are in Fall of Cybertron (that you don’t really notice while playing) while also tying in a story with an alternate Bayformer timeline. It’s not as strong, but it’s still worth playing.
I DID want to play Fall of Cybertron, I will definitely give it a try now.
Fall is a fantastic game on its own, with one of the best credits scenes I’ve ever seen. I would recommend playing War for Cybertron first, as it does take place beforehand (and has co-op during the campaign if Claire also wants to play, though that may require a second copy).
If you don’t have, or want to spend, the money to purchase either game then I’d recommend finding a playthrough on youtube.
You know what I need to get more into Transformers, I really enjoy the bayformers, so I think I’d enjoy the shows just as much.
While I was talking about most any movie/show/game to review, you should definitely watch some of the Transformers cartoons if you get time. The Armada/Energon/Cybertron series are relatively recent classics, and I’d consider Beast Wars to be one of the best series in the franchise, even if just out of nostalgia. Transformers Animated isn’t bad, though it takes some getting used to, and while I unfortunately don’t have much experience with Transformers Prime, I have heard only good things.
The classic cartoon is cheesy, but a classic for a reason. If you want to watch it, then best of luck. I would recommend High Moon Studio’s War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron (as well as the recent Rise of the Dark Spark, even though it doesn’t quite live up to its predecessors). They are all great games, and fantastic homages to the original series, with great gameplay, sound design, music, graphics, etc.
They’re also all on Steam, Xbox 360, PS3 etc.
I’m glad people seem to be enjoying the reviews I put together for Transformers: Age of Extinction, and Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark. If there’s another movie, videogame or series people would like to see a review of, feel free to suggest it.

Yes, but at least I saved it before I brought it up so there wasn’t any harm.
