In G1 the Dinobots were created on Earth by Wheeljack/Ratchet/Sparkplug. But in many (all?) of the comics there is a different story - especially in the more recent IDW stuff. My guess (I haven't played yet, stupid work) is that the game story takes a similar approach. I read some stuff a while back to support this, but it is "spoilery" so I won't mention it.

Simply put, this doesn't tie to any existing Generation 1 story. It's an all new story that pays homage to G1 in design aesthetics (similar to how animated was), but eventually leads into Transformers: Prime instead. The comic story "Rage of the Dinobots" takes place after this video game and leads directly into the not-yet-released third season of the Prime cartoon, bridging the gap between this game and the cartoon.

So Theorically my G2 Bruticus will have game accurate colors =D

I think the Dinobots DLC might be an escalation pack. I mean I'm sure the parts will be there for MP but four dinos does make sense for a dino map pack seeing has how escalation only let's you choose from four bots per map.

I guess that does make sense. But it bothers me how they don't come out and say it. As someone mentioned before, there also seems to be the inability to choose any other characters per map. I guess I'm just bothered by the lack of info and the seemingly very limited choices on escalation. I'm worried what you see is what you get you know?

I guess if my quams do turn out to be true I can ave the MS points. I don't think these packs are getting any cheaper

And once again Sludge is left out in the cold.

What is it about the goofball that people don't like? Not happy.

I'm struggling to figure out how that's meant to be Magnus. I'd have guess Nemesis Prime or Motormaster. Not seeing much in the way of red, white or blue.

I long for the days when DLC was an afterthought to extend the life of a game a year or two after release, (instead of a shameless attempt to milk more money from customers) but that never really happened.

Cannot wait for Dinobot Destruction pack.

Also, Sharpshot = Hound?

I mean, I'm glad to be getting Hound, but why is he being called Sharpshot?

In any case, I was using the Slingshock weapon today, and so I'm glad to have that already. That's one thing I'm sure of.

Hound is probably still hound. Sharpshot is the new name of one of the insecticons (copy right reasons). He was previously shrapnel. Bombshell has also been changed to hardshell. Kickback still retains his old name though.
