GameInformer.com will be displaying select concept art for the upcoming game, Transformers: War for Cybertron. In the coming weeks, we can look out for one or two more profiles.
Here is Prime's Profile straight from GameInformer:
"Though Optimus is a powerful and respected Transformer at the start of War For Cybertron, he is not yet the leader of the Autobots. After a devastating Decepticon attack on his home city of Iacon, Optimus is forced to step up and help lead his people to victory – wherever that might be.
In robot form, Optimus' main weapon is the Ion Blaster, a special gun that's totally unique to him. His vehicle mode, on the other hand, resembles the truck we all know him as, but actually operates as a Cybertronian tank. His special abilities include Warcry and Mark Target. Though we're not entirely sure what these are yet, it sounds like they may be more focused on buffing allies than full-out assault."

The amount of news that has cropped up around this game in the past day has been astounding! Add that to the fact the game is wholly original and coming up with it's own brand of unique designs makes me want to rush out and beg for a copy RIGHT NOW!
But of course, the game is still in the development stage.
So, I along with the rest of you, will have to wait until the game hits stores sometime next year.
Until next time, Wadey is out!
