In 2007, the success of the Transformers movie made rich people with money to invest in nostalgic properties realize, "Oh. People really like these transforming robots, don't they?"

Transformers: War for Cybertron occurs before the story most of us are familiar with, taking place on the Transformers' home planet, Cybertron, which is at war, if the game's subtitle didn't make that clear. Join Andrew Reiner, Jeff Cork, Ben Hanson, and me as we try to figure out where Transformers come from and Hanson tests the limits of his stomach.
