Music rarely moves me when paired with footage of giant robots reenacting their favorite scenes from Fight Club, but that doesn't mean it can't look cool.

During the Spike VGAs, High Moon Studios debuted a new trailer for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. In the footage we watch a detailed battle between the Decepticons and Autobots, set to the haunting song 'The Humbling River' by Puscifer. It's no 'Dare to be Stupid,' but it'll do.

  Looks good. They better not be douches & not release it on PC in Australia like the first one. Had to wait a whole 5 days for it to come from overseas.

    I think it may have come out here, but just not on Steam. A few Activision titles have had that happen recently, very strange.

  I hope they are not falling the exact same format as the first game. Where the end boss for the autobots is that "fusion" decepticon, and the dinobot for the decepticons

        The last Transformers game was hampered by its nature as a rushed movie tie-in. This looks to be more like Fall of Cybertron, which was an amazing Transformers experience.

  Awesome trailer? Yes. Indicative of the gameplay experience? Highly doubtful.

  Dear Mr. Bay: This is what Transformers should look like, as opposed to shredded tin cans connected by cables of piano wire and glue.
