Optimus Prime 2012 vs. G1 Optimus

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is a direct sequel to the 2010 game War for Cybertron that was released on August 21, 2012. Published by Activision and developed by High Moon Studios (with the PC version being handled by Mercenary Technology), the game is a continuation of the events of War for Cybertron. It explores the Autobots' attempts to escape from a rapidly deteriorating Cybertron aboard the Ark, as well as the gradual downfall and collapse of the remnants of Cybertronian society. A side story also focuses on the creation of the Dinobots.

Considerably darker in tone than its predecessor, the game begins with Optimus Prime outright conceding defeat to the Decepticons, who are in no better straits than their enemies. The story does not shy away from the grim realities of a dying planet and its inhabitants who cope with it. Characters grieve their losses, be it their home or their comrades. Both sides are depicted resorting to extremes just to keep fighting another day, and all hope seems lost. Yet a critical discovery by Grimlock may light the way for the Transformer species to a new era and hope; provided they can survive the fall of Cybertron.

Unlike War, the game axed the idea of solely Autobot or Decepticon campaigns, with limited casts, instead opting for one linear story, jumping between multiple characters of varying factions, in multiple environments and locations.

Fall of Cybertron is the second installment in the trilogy of games taking place in the Aligned continuity, and while it wasn't followed by a direct sequel, a prequel, Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, was announced and released in 2014, and details a small conflict over a mythical artifact, shortly before the events of Fall.
