Transformers: War for Cybertron is coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3 soon, and GameTrailers has wangled itself the exclusive trailer. The game, developed by High Moon Studios, is set before the Transformers leave Cybertron and come to Earth -- this means that annoying human characters are nowhere to be seen, and all the robots transform into their cool Cybertronian vehicles.
High Moon doesn't have much of a history, but I choose to remain optimistic about this new game. It doesn't have the stench of Michael Bay clinging to it, and it can't be much worse than the last Transformers game to infect the market. We shall have to wait and see, of course, but the goal at least seems admirable so far. Hit the jump for the video.

If Omega's a playable charcter - you'll want to play as him then die happy!
I'm definitely interested in this one! Looks like a bunch of non-descript 'formers there. I hope there are customs in this one. That would be sick!

Fuck Michael Bay. That's what transformers look like.
THIS. Fucking this.
That being said, I like this, too.
here's to hoping the game delivers as much as the trailer.
Good enough for me.
I wonder what Sound Wave will transform into, his Gen 1 Cybertron mode was a lamp post...so unless he's going to hang around and surprise the Autobots it's gotta be something a bit more fighty...
