Description While re-reading an article about the enemies of Fall of Cybertron, I noticed concept art of this guy for the Autobots. He kind of looks like a mix between the Aerial Bot and the Heavy Gunner from War for Cybertron... plus, a total badass!

How come we didn't fight this guy in the Decepticon segments? Did High Moon run out time? Did they feel he wouldn't have worked well?

It's just Decepticons get Leaper's, Guardians and Insecticons, while the Autobots only have the Titan (Who's a miniboss to me) and those Car Autobots.

Funny thing, The "Wall Crawler" is advertised as a Decepticon unit, but the Autobots make use of them as well. I wonder if the Wall Crawler was given to the Autobots because they couldn't fit this guy into the game?

Who knows what other Autobot foes never made it to the game?

this is in the game, if you ever got stuck with a grenade that forced you to transform when you got stuck in order to deactivate it, it was fired by one of these guys, i think theyre called seekers

Ignore my previous comment, as I've just remembered the enemy you were referring to. They're called "fliers"

Though I don't think so, this concept art suggests some kind of Autobot unit that was a cross between the Heavy and the Flier.

They probably didn't add him in because he would be too powerful. I mean come on! A jet AND a Titan mixed into one? They're annoying enough to beat on their own! To have a mix between the two! I don't even want to think about the amount of time it would take to take it out!

I suppose that's true, but I still think it would have been nice to have a bit more variety for the Autobot ranks. :/

Yeah. It would have been cool to fight an autobot leader in one level

Perhaps a rival combiner, like Computron or Superion?

Yeah! That would have been cool!

BTW, i meant Leaper in the last post XD autocorrect is really starting to get on my nerves.

They've could have reskinned the Brute from War and given him to the Autobots, that could have worked!

To this day I am debating with myself on what was a more difficult opponent to defeat, the Brutes, the Leapers, or the Guardians in battle mode.
