History Trivia / TransformersWarForCybertron

* ShowAccuraccyToyAccuracy: While most characters looked like their Siege series toys, they included a lot of accessory changes- the Autobots mostly used the blasters that came with the Cog figure instead of the ones that came with their own figures, while Elita-1 was shown using a long-barreled sniper rifle that didn't resemble anything that any figure in the toyline came with. Jetfire, meanwhile, was constantly popping out a LaserBlade from his wrist that he absolutely didn't get with his toy and never showed off the removable armor parts that the toy centered around.

*** In the Japanese dub:
** Creator/TesshoGenda is back for voicing Optimus Prime.
** Creator/RyoheiKimura returns to voice Bumblebee for the fourth time.
** Creator/KenjiNomura voices Jetfire for the first time since [[Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen Revenge Of The Fallen]].

* SpoiledByTheMerchandise: The [[spoiler:Ultra Magnus]] figure was sold in packaging warning that it contained spoilers for the first season. [[spoiler: Indeed, the translated Cybertronian script on the box revealed that he would surrender to the Decepticons and be presumed dead by the Autobots.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Though he misremembered it as an offer for [[Film/{{Transformers}} the movie]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sofxhdeZItM in an interview with]] Jon Bailey ([[WebVideo/HonestTrailers yes, that one]]), Victor Caroli was considered to reprise the narrator, but they didn't offer him enough money.

* OldShame: Creator/CoreyBurton, who voiced Shockwave (SteveBlum does it in the game proper) in the DLC commercial for the game, said that the gag nature and rushed performance seemed OutOfCharacter and that he felt he [[InNameOnly barely sounded like Shockwave at all]].
