--->'''Megatron''': No one leaves without my permission!
--->'''Optimus''': ''I wasn't asking''.

--->'''Grimlock''': '''NO ONE CONTROLS GRIMLOCK!!!'''

-->'''Vortex:''' Make sure those tow cables hit their mark. I've mapped out precise weak points to hit. Once we're latched on, I'll start dispatching the boarding parties.
--> '''Decepticon Mook:''' Yes sir.
--> '''Vortex:''' Yes sir, ''what?''
--> '''Decepticon Mook:''' Yes sir, ''sir?''
--> '''Vortex:''' That's more like it. Those Autobots won't know what'll hit 'em. Megatron had the ''Nemesis'' designed for maximum carnage.
--> '''Decepticon Mook:''' Yes sir, sir.

-->'''Optimus Prime''': After eons of conflict, I finally see the truth of your words, Megatron.
-->'''Megatron''': And what might that be, Optimus?
-->'''Optimus Prime''': This universe, no matter how vast, will never be big enough for you and I to coexist!

-->'''Starscream''': [[spoiler: Decepticons, Megatron has perished, betrayed by his foolish pride.]]

--> Why do you fire at me?
--> If you want my attention, Optimus, simply ask.

-> ''"The hands of the many must join as one\\

--> Puscifer, ''The Humbling River''

** Occasionally when Optimus accesses Teletraan-1, the computer will refer to him as Orion Pax before correcting itself and calling him Optimus Prime instead. Orion Pax was Optimus's original name and identity prior to becoming an Autobot warrior, in which he worked as a data archivist for the Hall of Records where the computer was maintained. His history as an archivist is also mentioned in a data log by Ironhide, and mockingly referred to by Megatron in their final battle of the game.

-->'''Optimus:''' [[TranquilFury After eons of conflict, I finally see the truth of your words, Megatron.]]
-->'''Megatron:''' And what might that be, Optimus? ''*Draws his sword to deliver the final blow*''

The sequel to 2010's ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'', this game shows the [[AfterTheEnd tail end]] of the war before it left for Earth. Technically the Decepticons have won, but it's something of a PyrrhicVictory since the war used up so much Energon and tore up most of Cybertron. Now it's a race for both factions to gather what Energon and survivors they can to deal one last decisive blow to the other side before they flee the dying planet. Because of this, it's DarkerAndEdgier than any other {{Transformers}} game.

* OffModel: It's not really noticeable in the campaign, but sometimes in multiplayer, you'll have parts that simply don't match up well with your bot's alt-mode. So the transformation animation will be rather choppy, the worst offenders being the Dinobot DLC models. It's a known issue, though, and is being worked on.

* WeakSauceWeakness: Apparently somebody thought it would be a good idea to put tons of armour on the front of a leaper and then leave absolutely nothing protecting it's back.

--->'''Autobot Mook:''' Optimus! There are reports on the battlefield that Megatron is alive!\\
'''Optimus''' (via Holographic transmitter): Are those reports confirmed?\\

* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:While there's a chapter about Megatron taking control of the Decepticons back from Starscream, the closest thing we have to a fight is Megatron going into vehicle mode and shooting him.]]
** Other then Hardshell, Grimlock does not have proper boss battles against the other Insecticons [[spoiler:or Shockwave]]. But this is due to his sheer power, the moment they get into range Grimlock takes them out in a cutscene easily.

** Metroplex easily destroys [[spoiler:Megatron, using his fist to smash the Leader of the Decepticons into the ground in mere seconds with ease and no significant damage despite Megatron firing at him]].

** Metroplex delivers a truly epic one to [[spoiler:Megatron]].
** Everything trying to stand in Grimlock's way usually ends on the receiving end of this.

* InMediasRes: The game begins at the very end, when the Decepticons aboard the Nemesis attack the Ark, as seen from the eyes of Bumblebee. The rest of the game shows the events building up to that point; the events Final Chapter shows what was happening on the Ark while Bumblebee was trying to get to Optimus.

* DeadlyDisc: One of the newer weapons fires buzzsaw blades.

* GatlingGood: The X-18 Scrapmaker, a massive minigun with ''two'' rotating barrel clusters and a generous (if only capable of being replenished by ammo pickups) clip size that allows the player to grind through the opposition with ease.
** The Neutron Assault Rifle here counts somewhat, sporting six barrels arranged in two rotating clusters of three as opposed to its ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'' incarnation's one.

The sequel to 2010's ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'', this game shows the [[AfterTheEnd tail end]] of the war before it left for Earth. Technically the Decepticons have won, but it's something of a PyrrhicVictory since the war used up so much Energon and tore up most of Cybertron. Now it's a race for both factions to gather what Energon and survivors they can and get off the planet while trying to stop the other side from doing the same. Because of this, it's DarkerAndEdgier than any other {{Transformers}} game.

* EpicFail: The Decepticons have more weaponry, soldiers, and Energon. Yet Starscream's leadership has been a "complete disaster" according to several Decepticon mooks, and as far the player can tell, Starscream was only in charge for a few days.
* {{Expy}}: The Path Blaster and Riot Cannon are these for Optimus' Ion Blaster and Megatron's Fusion Cannon respectfully.

** Optimus and Megatron both do nearly opposite actions at the same crossroads in the war. Their use of the City-bots being the most notable. Both use them to change the flow of the war and both ordered theirs to attack the other. But where Megatron attacked fleeing civilians, Optimus gave the Decepticons and their leaders the option to flee when he could have ended the war right then. Both have parallel achievements in the missions involving their city-bots [[spoiler:and both sacrificed them to reach the portal in different ways, with Megatron sacrificing his as a KickTheDog only finding him for his power, and Optimus sacrificing his only because he insisted.]]
** Grimlock and Shockwave serve as opposites as well. Shockwave is calm and composed, but also heartless. Grimlock is short tempered, but ultimately a good guy underneath.
* GatlingGood: The X-18 Scrapmaker.

Technically the Decepticons have won, but it's something of a PyrrhicVictory since the war used up so much Energon and tore up most of Cybertron. Now it's a race for both factions to gather what Energon and survivors they can and get off the planet with a side order of trying to stop the other guys from getting off the planet. Because of this, it's DarkerAndEdgier than any other {{Transformers}} game.

* SecretAIMoves: The boss fights at the end of the game have characters that were playable earlier use attacks that weren't available when the player controlled them. [[CombiningMecha Bruticus]] uses the cannons on his back (which up to that point served no purpose) to [[DeathFromAbove fire shots into the air that come down on random spots]]. For the FinalBoss fight with Optimus and Megatron, whichever character the AI controls will use their vehicle mode (the player can't transform in the fight): Optimus [[RammingAlwaysWorks tries to ram the player]] and Megatron will sit back in a corner and shoot at them. Optimus also uses the [[BlowYouAway Shockwave ability]], and has an attack where he does a jumping slash. Megatron uses the [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning Whirlwind]] and [[NotQuiteFlight Hover]] abilities, along with a flashbang grenade.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: The Dinobots. Why the Cybertronians know of dinosaurs is actually explained; Shockwave has been observing the fauna of far off planets.
