it seems to me like they wanted the Cybertron trilogy to be the new G1 continuity where all these stories would branch off from this trilogy of games, kind of like how G1 has a hundred sub-continuities that are all vaguley connected to the original cartoon but are all ultimatly their own thing. the problem is that the Aligned Continuity was built on a swamp, the original trilogy wasn't even done yet by the time other stories were being written in this continuity and shows like Transformers Prime blatantly did not give a single fuck about the Cybertron games continuity. Star Wars Legends for as batshit insane as it could get was being written around the idea that you cannot ignore the original trilogy and later on the prequel trilogy, this meant that no matter how crazy and self-contradictory the Legends stories got you could always count on the fact that the movies where an iron-clad foundation that can be built upon.

As someone who worked on this flop at EoR... this is pritty much the story. For the curious though, here's the answer to why were there two disconnected stories in one game: The original pitch for the game by EoR was that there would be a generation spanning story where Unicron is attempting to cross dimensions into the Cinematic universe. The Gen 1 Universe transformers (G1 cartoon), who beat their Unicron in The Transformers Movie, would actually be the first autobots to get word of this plan. Cell shaded G1 Transformers, including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Grimlock, would follow Unicron to the Cybertron universe. After a bit of fun on Cybertron where the G1 team get split up and meet with the local Autobots, the reunited teams would then break through to the Earth of the cinematic universe. There they'd recruit the transformers from the movies (well the movie game made by High Moon using the same game engine). Then they'd all fight to stop, who else but Unicron's herald, a new Galvatron created from the Cybertron universe's megatron. The final battle concludes with the team stopping Galvatron from opening a portal in the Cinematic universe to allow Unicron to cross over and devour the earth. (To be clear, while there would be respect for cannon from each universe, this could not be cannon for any universe) In short the pitch was: Cell shaded cartoon Transformers with their silly characterizations, fighting beside the sci-fi war veterans of the Cybertron games, fighting beside the (im)mature bayformers. A massive crossover event to celebrate the anniversary! Then a month or so into development EoR get's the word that we're scrapping that whole storyline. Among other notes, there will be no G1 universe characters allowed in the game. Well, that was a big part of the story, so the team then has to rewrite everything into a new story that doesn't need the Gen 1 characters. Which we do. Fast forward a few months further on and EoR gets word again that the story needs to change. EoR's game also can't have any interactions between the worlds, and we can't use Unicron or Galvatron, among other notes. (I don't know who made these demands but they weren't driven by EoR) At this point development has been underway for a while, levels have already been built for the second pitched story. In order to get a game out in time the game must now be Re-re-written into two stories, one about (Cinematic) Earth's Transformers and one about (War for) Cybertron's Transformers. The only linking element being the macguffin of the "Dark Spark". And since development can't just start over, as much of the already developed levels as possible get cut into pieces, reshuffled, recontextualized, and glued back together to create the final storyline. All of this, from pitch, to story rewrite, to second story rewrite, to the final form of the single player game that's shipped, happened in a little over 6 months, and the second rewrite happened in the third month.

I think (im)mature bayformers is the best way to describe the autobots. I really love the movies but I think that's the charm that makes them stand out a bit.

Playing as a scientist in the WoCT MP was some of the coolest experiences I've ever had in an MP game. - Played as a Scientist, which for some context...was the transformer class who turn into a jets. They were generally geared and meant for tactical uses like debuffing, support, and reconnaissance rather than attack, BUT...there were ways to make one a literal dive-assassin and it was hard because you had to use double barreled shotgun they could alternatively get, at point blank range, and from behind the head, and do it fast because Scientists were made of paper. - It took so much practice and patience, but once you got it you could get experiences like flying in, transforming, one shotting even Soldier or Titan classes if the shot is successful, laying down a turret to disrupt or even kill their team mates around them, then transform again and fly off in seconds before a team has enough time to know what happened. It was just so sick. - Reciting that whole story just to emphasize how hard this video hits me since I loved the first two games. The Cybertron games were just assassinated in the same way, and it's such a damn shame.

13:05 "actvision consistenly works to align its costs with its revenues...we are taking a reduction in staff at high moon studios" says the company with one of the most overpaid CEOs ever. Seriously, Bobby Kotick salary is so insanely huge that even shareholders think he earns too much. The absolute nerve that those AAA companies have saying "we need microtransaction because games are expensive" or "we need to cut content and staff" like they are some indie dev that had to sell his only car to buy a better computer.

Oh man, don't forget that not only did they cram the Cybertron into the Bay movies, they were also crammed into both Transformers Prime and Rescue Bots continuity. Leaving some very confusing plotholes. Example: Megatron in War for Cybertron knew what Dark Energon was and went to where the Autobots were hiding it. While in the first episode of Prime, Megatron flies into the Decepticon base with Dark Energon and literally goes: "Check this shit out! I've only heard rumors that it exists and never seen it before!!!!" Like wut?

Much of my early teens were spent playing WFC and FoC, so seeing Activision ruthlessly crush the series is.. while a bit dramatic-soul shattering. Watching something I grew up playing, and formed many friendships through, even indirectly leading me through a rabbit hole that eventually led to my current relationship.. seeing it just crumble away, is just so depressing. It’s a part of me in a way that I can’t fully explain, but I think many people who played the games will get what I mean.
