I saw it yesterday but was very confused top what it actually is?! Looks like some WFC/FoC + Movie hybrid?

I dunno. I also found this on Google communities:
"There's been a lot of confusion regarding the new Transformers game Rise of the Dark Spark, but this should help.
The transformers franchise has multiple universes which have conflicting stories, as various studios over the years tried to reboot the series. The games were now intended to be the "bible" of transformers story and lore, not the Bay movies. The TV series Transformers Prime took designs from the movies but built up their own narrative. It is this narrative that the new game will lead into. This is why we see two character designs for Optimus (as well as others) ; the old one and the new one, after the crash on Earth."
I guess that ties in with a FoC sequel?

That explanation is BS, and pretty sure someone trying to justify this abortion. I see it as this, plain and simple, movie games are and always will be piles of garbage, Hasbro knows this, so how do you get people to buy a movie game for their upcoming blockbuster? Tie in the most successful Transformers video game to ever come out. What does that leave us with? Two jarringly different design aesthetics from two vastly different franchises coming together in what is sure to become the worst idea ever conceived.
Personally, I am ticked off about it. I love the WFC/FoC games and really wanted to see a true sequel. Now its being shoehorned into a movie games, High Moon has no part in it, and it will be highly unlikely we ever actually get the FoC sequel we wanted because of it.
I think they put their intern marketing and PR students on this one.

I think they put their intern marketing and PR students on this one. I'm with Onix on this one. I really have mixed feelings about it. After watching that trailer, which btw I think sucks compared to what HM did, I'm confused by what the game is about. And with a different company making this game I have my doubts we'll see a good game. The only saving point for me will be if the game has good game play.

Ok, I'll admit, I'll properly buy this game regardless. But I am not impressed with the current news about G1 OP skin. I mean big deal. The last game had it and really it doesn't really bring anything new or exciting. I mean, if you had different skins for all the characters, G1 or whatever, then I'd be happy but of course I'd be more impressed with more characters in general. And then more hadcore gamers and fans might want those characters to be able to do more, like special functions, abilities, etc....

I saw the "Prime" trailer, but it still doesn't tempt me, too much of a mish-mash.

Alright, nice. I was thinking about getting it myself, but it'll be good to have a second opinion. =P

I'm likely to buy it this weekend so I can talk about it on the podcast I am on. I expect nothing good.

None.
First impressions: Bad AI. Some levels are ok others boring. Some cut scenes are boring. When you transform in to car mode you pause before being able to drive, very annoying. When I played escalation I beat it on the first try. And I suck at escalation. Its fun but challenging? Over all the levels aren't inspiring. If I had to rate this game in order with wfc and foc, foc first, wfc second and rotds forth. I'm about half way with the game, I'll post more after the weekend.

Ok so i finished the game last night. Not impressed with the ending at all. In fact a lot of the bosses really suck. However i did like the final levels a lot better then the first. More aggressive bad guys rather then what felt like i was only cleaning up an insecticon infestation. Speaking of which its here that Shockwave discovera the insecticons. But later on the autobots seem to have knowb about them before. Grrr! One thing i noticed was is Shockwave is in this game a lot and that cool. But whats funny is he seems to forget that he can fly which is odd. You'll see what i mean if you play the game. The voice acting is ok but they steal so many lines from previous tf shows or quotes it feels forced and uninspired. They even steal from star wars.... One thing that makes the game look bad are the huge rooms and tunnels. Of course tfs need a lot of space bug it feels like a game from years ago. Plus the scaling is bad on earth. Drift in car mode is as big as a tank! And i tired escalation again, still fun but the enterances where the waves come in were being cherry picked by my fellow players it make it no fun. Especially when the bad guys come from one direction.
