The latest installment in the Transformers saga hit store shelves on June 22, 2010 ? as a movie game, that is. Activision?s take on the Transformers story line concentrates on what could be thought to be a pre-quel of sorts, or an origin tale of how the head with the Autobots rose to his revered reputation. Prime Before His Time Supporters of the Transformer?s animated series from the eighties, and by extension Hollywood?s latest version of the tale, will instantly identify the distinction in the new/young Cybertronian Optimus Prime. For starters the video game?s story is set on the transformer?s home planet, Cybertron, ravaged by the battle between Decepticons and Autobots. As opposed to the conventional big-rig Optimus Prime, Activision decided to give the leader of the Autobots a distinct alternative form compared with what followers are used to seeing. The ?younger? prime takes the form of an armored truck mounted with cannon ready to blast. Origin Of A Hero The plot of War for Cybertron takes place well before the Autobots come into contact with humans and in a sense fills in storyline holes observed in the 1980s cartoon series which commenced the Transformers tale. Optimus Prime?s quest in the video game is to rally the Autobots to save planet Cybertron from Megatron and also the Decepticons given that the leader of the Autobots, Zeta Prime, is revealed to have fallen in combat. The Cybertronian Optimus Prime becomes, in some sense, pushed into a position of authority to test his mettle. Rather than the confident, powerful commander observed in the television cartoon and big-dollar silver screen creation, Activision?s portrayal of Optimus Prime centers on the weighty load and sacrifice of management. You could say that Optimus Prime, like a youthful, unskilled general, is promoted before he is ready. Prime On New Platforms The main core of Transformer enthusiasts, at the end of the day, most probably will continue to be devoted to the franchise and purchase into the video game?s storyline. Activision, to see to it that enthusiasts do, has licensed the War for Cybertron on all video game platforms like Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo?s Wii and DS. Thus far both the video game and action figures have gotten excellent ratings from buyers, but in all fairness, many Transformer hardcores claim the video game play in the game itself simply leaves something to be desired. By and large, Activision?s most recent take on Optimus Prime works well.
