Activision Blizzard showed off a trailer for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, at the Spike TV Video Game Awards tonight.

This series of games is one of the few movie-based (and toy-based) games that are doing well, and that’s why the company keeps publishing the games one after another.

The trailer featured some bad-ass robots fighting it out and taking over a metropolis, set to the tune of a cool song, dubbed Together We’ll Cross the River. The game follows up on the previous title, Transformers: War for Cybertron, as the Autobots struggle to defeat their Decepticon foes — two different factions of robotic warriors. The battleground is the Autobots’ home planet of Cybertron.

The game is set for fall 2012 release on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.
