An interesting snippet from a larger article on Transformers the Ride posted on LATimes' Hero Complex gives a small insight into what lies in store with Transformers 4. Apparently Transformers 4 will feature a redesign of the robots and an entirely new (human?) cast. Michael Bay has also said that he intends for this movie to be his last, to set things up for "the next guy".
Granted, we have heard that before, because in the production of Transformers Dark of the Moon, Michael Bay had stated he intended that to be his last, and even before that, during Revenge of the Fallen Mr Bay had said he intended to take some time out before making the third movie. Neither of these possibilities materialized, so take this claim that Transformers 4 will be his last one with a pinch of salt.
That being said, how does a redesign of the robot cast grab you? Dark of the Moon already featured a move to more "heroic" proportions on Optimus Prime with his new abs - will it be a case of more tweaking of designs familiar to audiences the world over, or perhaps a more dramatic shake-up?
Be sure to check out the
full article on LATimes. While it is mostly about Transformers the Ride, it is well worth the read for the information on the reception to the ride as much as it is for the hint at Transformers 4 taking a different direction.

As revealed over the weekend, the popular multiplayer horde mode from Transformers War for Cybertron, Escalation, is making a return appearance in Fall of Cybertron. Several key details are covered in
this article on IGN and on a
video hosted on Gametrailers.
Some of the key points on the new, bigger and badder Fall of Cybertron Escalation mode include:
You can choose the difficulty for the Escalation mode.
Four player characters per stage, different characters for different stages. Warpath is playable on one stage.
The game points out the last three enemies on a wave.
You can now open doors by paying 50% deposits.
Each room you unlock has a "loot tube", described as a mystery box of weapons and add-ons to enable you to destroy enemies. It's a random item generator.
There are upgrade stations, more expensive ways to power up your team. Upgrades stack and affect all players on your team.
There are traps, which can be used to set up ambushes for enemies.
You can also unlock a gunship, which roams the map blasting enemies for you.
Be sure to check out the
full video of Escalation mode in Fall of Cybertron on Gametrailers to see this returning gameplay mode in action!

With E3 in full swing the new Transformers Fall of Cybertron news is coming in thick and fast. Matt Tieger has been answering fan questions on the
Playstation Blog, with some interesting points coming out, such as:
Big Bots - The response has been good to Bruticus and the other big guys. Matt Tieger says though that we have not discussed all of them yet.
The story - It's official canon, created in partnership with Hasbro, the official story of the departure from Cybertron. Matt believes it fits with any part of the franchise, so it is being kept open presumably.
The length of the campaign - Gameplay length is actually longer than WFC.
The G1 Optimus Prime unlock - The Generation 1 Optimus Prime character is a complete new model, not just a skin. He's the only classic unlock that Matt Tiger can confirm, and it was done as something special for the fans picking the game up on day 1.
Collector's Edition - High Moon Studios are aware of the demand though there are no current plans for a Collector’s Edition. Matt Tieger sees each copy as special.
Is Ultra Magnus in Fall of Cybertron? - In Matt's own words, "I can say that Hasbro has confirmed an Ultra Magnus toy. That could be a hint about his role in game."
Stay tuned for more Fall of Cybertron news!

e-Hobby Shop, who recently announced a
partnership with the official
Transformers Collection's Club, has
tweeted an image of a familiar
Shattered Glass Quintesson.
While this is
not evidence of a potential figure, it does indicate the cooperation between the American and Japanese exclusives providers.
