Price? $10 like the last DLC?

News Credits: 251 · by **Mindmaster** » Tue Sep 11, 2012 10:14 am

Would anyone be so kind as to provide nice stills of the Insecticon bits of the video? I'd like to view more of them so I can sorta plan for future character-creating shenanigans.

800 Microsoft Points on the Xbox, so ten dollars, yes.

So whats the deal? The word was the Dinobot Pack would be available today and so far nothing in the PSN store or even an update with the game. Anyone else notice this?

The DB's, G1 Prime, Hound, and the havoc will make this war continue on in Cybertron (and for those of you that think this should be part of G1 and not Prime, then the war continues in 1984!)!

Finally. I waited all morning.

I'm bummed by the price on these. Getting other DLC, you often get a full level or two to play PLUS the skins. Seems like $10 is high for just extra characters. Still, I do want to get them. Hoping they may get bundled in the future. :-?

Okay, bring the soup!!!!

Eh, still need to play a lot more before I start to get the DLC. I always get all of it but I like to divide it a bit.

Hopefully Escalation will get some love in the future, I played WFC Escalation for a lot of hours. I think it's the best mode of the whole game.

A little shame that in FOC you can only choose between 4 characters each map. I know the "classes" but they can make it so you can choose between Optimus and Cliffjumper if you choose the "shield guy" skill.

And pray to Primus that they make a Bruticus multiplayer mode, which can be like Escalation and when you combine each player gets like 30 to 60 seconds to control Bruticus and after all are done they go back to the Combaticons.

Joy!!!
Can't, but will wait, till I play G1 Optimussssss!

Well look at that, $10 for an unlock code.....this is really starting to piss me off. I'm still gonna buy it, but it still doesn't change the fact that this content is already on the disc, and we are just paying to use it..... :evil:

"Slag" has been retired as a name and an expletive because it's a derogatory term in British English equivalent to "slut". So the Dinobot is now known as Slug, and the turn-to expletive is now "scrap".

Yeah, I know they have to rename things because of copyright reasons, and to be politically correct... but I'm gonna keep calling them what I grew up with. I just can't get used to the new names....

Grimlock, Slug, Snarf, Sprig and Swiffer battle agains the evil Insecticon plague — Snapple, Krackle, and Bumpclock! Now on sale at a toy store near you!

:-?

Oh, that's great. I don't give a rat's @$$ why they changed it. I just know it's wrong. Go tell Britain to change their stupid slang term instead. It doesn't make any sense anyways.

LONG LIVE SLAG!

I haven't purchased the Dinobots myself but its really cool seeing them in multiplayer mode. One of my opponents was Snarl earlier today, and he made a neat clanking sound as he tromped around in dino mode.

In defense of HMS, I felt it was justified. There are five Dinobots, but four classes. Grimlock, Swoop, and Slag/Slug are more iconic, leaving them with a choice; Snarl or Sludge. Since Snarl better fits the Destroyer class, Sludge was dropped from the multiplayer chassis list.

Apatosaurus.

"Brontosaurus" never existed. Its discoverer thought apatosaurus and brontosaurus were separate species, but it turned out that the bronto was a sub-species of apatosaurus.

It's bizarre people still say "brontosaurus", when it was renamed way back in something like 1903.

Let's see how you like it when people are ignorant of things you're interested in.
