The TNT train stops for no man, though it does take a week off in favor of battling the video-game industry's largest trade-show/hangover. Having come to yet another stalemate with the monstrous Electronic Three, we gather ourselves from the front lawn, chase a couple chewed-up Advil-brand pain relievers with off-brand sports drink, find our other shoe, and prepare ourselves for another Thursday Night Throwdown!
This week we'll be ditching this lame, non-transforming-robot-having planet in favor of Cybertron in the non-coincidentally named Transformers: War For Cybertron! It's all Autobots versus Decepticons on the Xbox 360, so if you've got the game and you've got a craving for energon, send a friend request to GBTNT and then be ready to be rowdy at 4:00PM Pacific Daylight Time this Thursday June 24th. If watching sentient robots brutally destroying one another in a desperate struggle for survival constitutes some sort of sick entertainment for your twisted, depraved mind, I hope you can get your voyeuristic thrills from the live video stream and chat room below.
UPDATE: The War For Cybertron has come to an end... for now! Thanks to everyone who played and hung out in the chat, if you missed it, you can catch the archived version below.

Wow. Awesome. I don't think I would have guessed a transformers game for TNT. I'll be excited to watch though.
There must be a better way for sorting out the friends list. I'm betting a bunch of people send their request every Monday before they find out what the game is or if they even have it.
" @The_Laughing_Man: Ya the PS3 only will be MOA when the beta hits. "MOH beta sucks massvily. Hopefully they will fix it before the TNT.
Will PS3 get two nights in a row?
" Now I have to decide what class I want to focus on for the next 2 days. "How does the multiplayer for this game work anyways.
" @The_Laughing_Man: The trappings of the multiplayer are a lot like CoD (albiet it with robots and a third person view) So you have 4 classes (Scout,Leader,Scientist,and Soldier) and each one levels up separately with XP you get from matches. You can do custom loadouts and there are perks and killstreaks and stuff like that. Of course you can Transform at will, and all that. The game is a TON of fun. "Screw you. Now I wanna hike down to the store in 90 degree heat to get it. I got a 108 dollar game stop gift card. Traded in my PSP...so I guess I will get it in the morning for PS3.
" There must be a better way for sorting out the friends list. I'm betting a bunch of people send their request every Monday before they find out what the game is or if they even have it. "I never accept friend requests on GBTNT before the first announcement of what the game will be. And even then, I give priority to requests from players who actually have the game in question on their profile. It's an inherently imperfect system, but I try and compensate as much as I can.
"Goddamn, I have this for the PS3 - what's with the lack of PS3 love lately? D: "
I think they just perfer doing stuff on 360 for some reason.
Every now and then they could go buy it on PS3 though to keep it fair if its there choice.
" Someone on this stream better talk about Beast Wars. Or I will be mildly disappointed! >:( "
Dude, I love Beast Wars ! =D
I gladly went to school late so I can watch an entire episode in the morning.
I dunno, I'm still waiting on more reviews to come in on the game.
Have to admit kinda skeptical. Don't really care about multiplayer either just interested in seeing what people think of the singleplayer.
It would be nice if GB did a quick look or a review for games before a TNT.
Anyone agree?
Me and my friends used pretend to be Beast Wars robots on the playground. We also pretended to be mechs from Heavy Gear and Mechwarrior 2.
I'm actually interested in seeing this game, though I usually miss TNT because it's on too damn late, I might have to stay up for this.

"going by Jeff's twitter, he's not really enjoying the single player, but says the multiplayer is good, so im guessing it will get a 3.
It's probably a 3 game for non fans, and 4 for transformer fans, since a lot of the charm is it being like G1
