As you progress with the story you will use Optimus Prime, command the awesome Metroplex, and use Jazz and Cliffjumper before jumping to the Decepticons. Discovering and using Metroplex was amazing!
Fall of Cybertron is different than WFC as you play as one primary character for each mission with a vast supporting cast. In one Optimus Prime mission you will give orders to Warpath, work with Perceptor, communicate with Jetfire, assist Ratchet and meet up with Warpath again for a stand off.
It’s very obvious that High Moon Studios respects the Transformers brand and that they are fans themselves. The game is loaded with characters, references and easter eggs. My favorite easter egg is Starscream’s crown from the 1986 animated movie. This hidden gem can be found late in the game and once you locate it, Starscream will always wear it.
