News Don't Worry, Activision Totally Has the Source Code for Those Awesome PS3 Transformers Games
"When a company eats a company that eats a company, things get lost"
As reported by our sister site Time Extension earlier in the week, the whereabouts of hard drives containing the all-powerful source code for a number of Transformer games was initially in dispute, with both Activision and Hasbro representatives pointing the finger at the other...

Spark plug
Animated show Transformers: EarthSpark is getting the adaptation treatment from OutRight Games, with Bumblebee set to star in a new action adventure on PS5 and PS4.

News Splash Damage's Transformers: Reactivate Will Roll Out on Consoles in 2023
Autobots' greatest ever threat awaits
While there have been a handful of Transformers games on PlayStation since High Moon Studios’ acclaimed Cybertron series, it has been slim-pickings really. Transformers: Reactivate, announced overnight during The Game Awards, is certainly on our radar, then – it’s being developed by British studio Splas
News Transformers: Battlegrounds Is XCOM with Autobots, Rolling Out 23rd October
Megatron must be stopped
Transformers: Battlegrounds will consume an energon cube and roll out to the PlayStation 4 from 23rd October, a new trailer has revealed. The tactical title – which seems heavily inspired by the likes of XCOM and Advance Wars – will see you battling it out with dastardly Decepticons in turn-based skirmishes. There’ll...
News New Transformers Game Is Rolling Out on PS4 in October
More than meets the eye
Bandai Namco's dropped a teaser trailer for a new Transformers game. It's called Transformers: Battlegrounds, and going by the footage, it appears to be some sort of strategy title. The official description reads: "As evil Megatron closes in on the Allspark, Bumblebee and the Autobots need a new commander to help save Earth...
News Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Launches Out of Nowhere on PS4
Dare to believe
Despite the fact that it's never been officially announced by publisher Activision, the heavily rumoured Transformers: Fall of Cybertron PlayStation 4 remaster is available to buy and download right now on the PlayStation Store. Well, in Australia at least. It's priced at $49.95, which is about £30, and we imagine that it'll roll...
News Me Grimlock May Replay Transformers: Fall of Cybertron on PS4
He's no bozo
Once upon a time, before High Moon Studios was relegated to Call of Duty map pack purgatory, Activision gave the developer both the budget and the resources to create a couple of decent Transformers games – Fall of Cybertron being the better of the two. And the PlayStation 3 sequel appears to be coming to the PlayStation 4 imminently,...
News Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Will Roll Out on PS4
Marvel Ultimate Alliance titles, too
Megatron will be stopped for hopefully a reasonable cost when High Moon's surprisingly good Transformers: Fall of Cybertron lights our darkest hour on the PlayStation 4 at some undetermined point in the future. The ever observant Gematsu spotted a rating for the 2012 release on a
Game of the Year #8 - Transformers: Devastation (PS4, PS3)
Lighting our darkest hour
Transformers: Devastation's 2015 launch possibly missed out on PlayStation 4 sales by releasing in the same October week as Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, so to discover that Platinum Games' single player brawler title – with a five hour game length – has achieved eighth place in Push Square's Game of the Year...
Round Up Transformers Devastation PS4 Reviews Start Rolling Out
Ultra magnum opus
Activision can be a strange company. The organisation goes out of its way to ensure that the likes of Destiny and Call of Duty are covered correctly, but while it's seemingly happy to invest money into middle-tier titles like Transformers: Devastation and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, it doesn't appear to have any faith in them at all...
News Me Grimlock Love Transformers: Devastation's New Trailer
Me Grimlock not video game character – me king
Transformers: Devastation certainly appears to have the touch – but will it have the power, too? The forthcoming animated series tie-in from Platinum Games will see you play as a total of five different Autobots: Optimus Prime, Grimlock, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, and Bumblebee. And as evidenced in the...
News One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall in Transformers: Devastation's New Trailer
The end of the road
There's some serious optics ripping in this brand new trailer for Transformers: Devastation, which has been released right in time for the San Diego Comic Con. In the new clip for the Platinum Games developed brawler, we get a good look at Optimus Prime and Megatron going hammer and tongs – fortunately, there's no Hot Rod to...
E3 2015 Transformers: Devastation's Vehicle Attacks Are More Than Meets the Eye
Autobots, roll out
Back when Transformers: Devastation first leaked, we pondered how the vehicle transformations in the title would work. There were no screenshots showing off any of the playable Autobots in their transformed state, so we wondered whether developer Platinum Games had ripped that part of the experience out. It turns out that it's...
E3 2015 Transformers: Devastation's First Trailer Rocks Out on PS4
Burn rubber
Call us cynical like grumpy old man Autobot Kup, but we reckon this first trailer for Transformers: Devastation is a bit underwhelming. Confirming that it's in the works over at Platinum Games and will be coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, the video's full of robotic violence, but we honestly expected something a little more...
E3 2015 Platinum Games Is the Robot in Disguise Behind Transformers: Devastation
Dare to believe in a PS4, PS3 release
When it rains, it pours Energon cubes – and Activision's let the exciting looking Transformers: Devastation slip through its robotic grip. The game – which leaked earlier today – has now been all but confirmed for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 courtesy of a Best-Bu
E3 2015 Transformers: Devastation Is the Childhood Title of Your Dreams
More than meets the eye
Save for High Moon Studios' slick Cybertron titles, the Transformers brand has been subject to some pretty dire tie-ins. Much like Rodimus Prime, though, Activision is looking to rise again, with the gob-stoppingly awesome Transformers: Devastation. Our friends over at Pure Xbox
Feature What Do You Mean You've Never Played... Transformers: War for Cybertron?
Cullen your name
Video games are quite the unpredictable bunch. Dark horses like Batman: Arkham Asylum and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will come out of nowhere as surprising Game of the Year contenders, while shocking letdowns such as Assassin's Creed Unity and The Order: 1886 will leave gamers pondering where their promise and potential went...
Weirdness This Optimus Prime PlayStation Definitely Has the Touch
But does it have the power?
The original PlayStation proved that it had real market leadership qualities when it exceeded sales in the region of 100 million units before being discontinued in 2006. That’s probably because the console was an Autobot in disguise – and not any ol’ Autobot, but faction frontman Optimus Prime. Alright, so the...
Weirdness What if Your PlayStation Could Transform into Optimus Prime?
Transformat
You may not realise it, but your yellowing PSone actually possesses the Matrix of leadership deep within its ageing chassis. In order to prove as much, Japanese toy company Takara Tomy is busy beavering away on a new action figure designed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Transformers and the 20th anniversary of PlayStation...
Review Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (PlayStation 4)
Less than meets the eye
Even the emotionless Galvatron would be saddened to see a generation of teenagers brought up on Michael Bay’s visually offensive and canon destroying Transformers flicks. Fortunately for veterans, there’s been a shining light among the countless explosions and Megan Fox pouting that has sought to preserve the authenticity...
News Activision Rolls Out Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Overview
Me Grimlock love Peter Cullen's war stories
It’s always strange to see Optimus Prime’s voice come out of an ordinary human being, but we suppose that voice actor Peter Cullen deserves a share of the limelight for once. In this brand new video, the silky chopped star provides an overview of Activision’s upcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3...
News One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall in PS4's Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark
Out of the way Hot Rod
We’re only six months into the new generation, and Activision’s movie tie-in business is already off to a middling start. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 certainly isn’t terrible, but it’s far from incredible either, meaning that we have decidedly low expectations for the upcoming Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark. Due out...
News Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Rolls Out from 24th June
Autobots, start your engines
Activision’s curious Transformers cross Bayformers mash-up Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is set to start an intergalactic war on both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 from 24th June in North America and 27th June in Europe. In an effort to appease old-school fans and younger players, the weighty robotic...
News Activision Replenish Energon with Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Screens
Even more to meet the eye
Get ready to roll out with these new Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark screenshots. Announced late last week, the licensed title aims to merge Michael Bay's divisive movie property with that of High Moon Studios' popular game universe. As well as being the successor to the excellent Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, th
News The Announcement Trailer for Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Has Rolled Out
Will you protect or destroy Earth?
In an accidental reveal yesterday morning, Amazon created a listing for an unannounced game called Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark. Details were scarce, but before it was quickly taken down, the hypothetical PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 release was described as "perfect for veteran fans and newcomers”...
Rumour Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Set to Touch PS4
Another one of Kup's war stories
While the likes of Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf have made it difficult to be a Transformers fan over the past few years, there has been salvation in the form of High Moon Studios’ throwback third-person shooters. The rough around the axles War for Cybertron and stellar Fall of Cybertron both based their fiction on...
