You’ve Been Drafted into the War for Cybertron
Let’s break this new Transformers: War for Cybertron preview down pro/con style:
PRO: YOU CAN FUCKING CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN FUCKING TRANSFORMER
CON: Kotaku says it looks mostly like picking a class and/or vehicle (maybe the classes are tied to the vehicles?) and then a color,
PRO: That’s still pretty awesome. And there could be more to it that hasn’t been revealed yet.
CON: This is probably just for online fights.
PRO: Even if it is just picking a class and color and is online for online battle, you know what this means? This means that this is basically Team Fortress 2 with Transformers.
PRO WINS. FATALITY.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
