War for Cybertron is played from a third-person perspective. A sequel, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, was released in August 2012, and a third game, Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, was released in June 2014. It was praised for its multiplayer, character designs, and voice acting, with criticism reserved for the visual design of the game's setting. War for Cybertron received generally favorable reviews, with many viewing it as an improvement over past Transformers games. While the Decepticon leader Megatron seeks this substance for himself, believing it will allow him to return the planet to its 'golden age', the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, attempt to stop him, knowing it would instead doom their homeworld. The game's plot revolves around Dark Energon, a more dangerous and destructive version of Energon, the substance which powers all Transformers. Players may pick either faction to play as, as each has its own separate campaign (though the Deception campaign chronologically takes place first). Set on the Transformers' home planet of Cybertron, prior to their arrival on Earth, the game depicts the deadly civil war between Autobots and Decepticons. A game for the Wii, Transformers: Cybertron Adventures, was developed by Next Level Games and utilizes the same characters and setting as War for Cybertron. Two portable versions were released for the Nintendo DS, one featuring an Autobot campaign, the other a Decepticon campaign.

It was released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Microsoft Windows in June 2010. Transformers: War for Cybertron is a third-person shooter video game based on the Transformers franchise, developed by High Moon Studios and published by Activision.
