I think this is more set up for mission packs. Add ten more missions and 12 or more new character models and develop the story a bit more. All the civilian autobots have been sent across the galaxy, now the real fun can begin as both sides pull out all the stops.

I agree. Not really up for a sequel yet, I simply want MORE to this game. I hope if they do a sequel it can tell more of the story of Cybertron, perhaps an offshoot of this story featuring other characters.

I think the Earth story has been done to death. According to the book, Cybertronians went to some other planets, let's see those.

Totally. Almost Eevry TF game weve had has pretty much done on earth. And maybe they would do more sequals that would take us up all the way to the first Episode of the 1984 series. Ya know Kinda like what Star Wars did by going back before the first movie and explaining what happened before.

Except most of them were utter garbage.

I think it would be nice to see the story move to Earth, if it's done well. A real G1 game would be great, if they think they can find an audience for that. I'm not *too* worried about Megatron's altmode, first of all because we don't know if Hasbro would actually want to release an accompanying toyline, second of all because they're not above releasing a toy that's unrelated to the actual character as he appears in the game. XD

Otherwise, it would be nice to see where some of the other Transformer vessels went, but I don't think any game publisher will want to release a TF game that doesn't feature Optimus Prime and Megatron promimently.

Since it's War for Cybertron, I say keep in on Cybertron to avoid any constraints with G1 on Earth.

I'd go some into the Mythology, such as the original 13 TF's and the Fallen (basically having the final boss fight where Prime and Megatron team up against the Fallen at some important place on Cybertron, and learn more about Optimus Primes origin's in this story.)

Could they do a G1 game? Eventually, but right now, I want to learn more about the War and Cybertron itself. There are many stories that can be told before the departure of the Ark and Nemesis.

If it has avatar awards for the 360 I'll be happy.

If they decide to make another giant boss fight, then we shoul deffinately fight the constructicons. And when we beat them bad enough, then they transform into Devistator. I'd love to see a cybertronian him.

I understand the inclination to bring the Transformers to Earth but I just love this Cybertron setting so much, I'd rather High Moon keep a sequel focused there.

I would love to see Combiners as well. I don't know how the game mechanics would work but it would be great to play as Motormaster then call your team to combine.

Similar to a level found in Metal Gear Solid 4, play as the even bigger characters like Trypticon or perhaps Fortress Maximus to just wreck stuff. As much as I love a good story, smashing stuff is just as fun

What I would like to see in the sequel is a longer story mode. I am enjoying multiplayer but I really enjoyed co-op with friends/strangers.

They can never top the easy controls of the game, so any future game is going to have cars that can circle strafe. In fact if you watch the G4 TV website show "Feedback" the guys there pretty much said any future Transfomers game needs to blatantly copy the control scheme used in WFC. Which is just Gears of War controls anyways. If it is not broke, don't fix it.

However, that doesn't mean that the car can't just turn and drive sidways across your screen while you shoot using a small turret that pops out of the roof. Obviously with a tank you already have a turret.

Or you can say anytime you see a car shooting guns, by that point your cover is pretty well blown and you can get away with tires that turn 90 degrees in the wheel wells. Same with jets that hover when the real thing can't. You do this when concealment as a normal Earth machine isn't important.

If you wanted to really get into this, then an Earth setting will need some sort of "stealth" like aspect to it where you have missions where you need to keep a low profile and not blow your cover by sidestrafing as a car/truck, transforming, or hovering as a F-15 jet. I can see playing as a jet and in the single player "stealth" mission where you can never stop. You have to hold down the throttle the whole mission, which could get interesting.

P.S. I demand that Jetfire's 1984 Earth alt mode be the F-14 Grumman Tomcat used by the US Navy. The "Classics" line toy is already styled to look a bit like the F-14 when seen without the booster pack on, even if it has a goofy looking nose cone that isn't even a cone. Just re-design that classic toy with a round nosecone and your got it. After all, the Macross VF-1S originally used as the toy for Jetfire was a close ringer for the F-14, so go beyond it and actually use the F-14. You can get back to the orignal look without using the Macross design. Also, lets face it. The F-14 is a popular plane and fits into a game set in 1984 just fine.

Could be cool if they got the "Danger Zone" song for the game soundtrack on the mission you first see Jetfire.
