The War for Cybertron video games launched the franchise alongside the novel Exodus. Published by Activision and developed by High Moon Studios, Next Level Games and Vicarious Visions, the games are rooted in the New Aligned continuity family. They depict the events of the Cybertronian war that led to the Dark Energon contamination of the planet and sent the Transformers into deep space.
A sequel is in development for release in 2012.[1]
Versions
- The standard version of the game, and the one most publicized, was made available for two out of three of the main consoles and the PC with few changes between each.
- The Wii version, titled Transformers: Cybertron Adventures, was handled by Next Level Games, and was developed as an on-rails shooter with some driving sections.
- The DS version, developed by Vicarious Visions, was released in Autobot and Decepticon incarnations, with numerous exclusive characters in each.

Operation Transmission Recovery
As an early marketing campaign, the game's website included the feature "Operation Transmission Recovery": using transmission and coordinate dials, you could pick up "transmissions" from Cybertron (or "video clips/images" to you and me).
There are two dials, blue (outer) and yellow (inner). Using your mouse, you can drag the dial to set coordinates. The blue dial is set by aligning it to marks on the outer circle. When aligned, it becomes a blue ring. After that, the yellow dial is set so that signal strength is full, as indicated by a meter on the right. Once a transmission is unlocked its symbol lights up and the "Total Recovered" amount increases a little bit. When you reach 100%, it tells you how many hours remain until next batch.
As of January 12, 2010, the following transmissions (Batch 9), almost all of which are part of the second trailer (link below), were available:
| S. No. | Blue | Yellow | Type | Description |
