I know it's a movie tie in game but I'm honestly excited for this. High Moon did such a great job on War for Cybertron, I'll give this a shot.

The game play looks pretty good right now.

While not a fantastic game, War For Cybertron is the best Transformers game since Prelude For Energon on PS2. If High Moon can keep the gameplay similar to that for DoTM it might be alright. Still not getting it though since Activision are evil corporate arseholes.

Was I the only one who enjoyed the ROTF game? <=D, the only thing I didn't like about it is the free-roaming mode, which was the only thing I liked about the first game (Which was horrible), though I do agree that WFC is better than both of them. =L

Oh and it's nice to see that Megatron's ROTF form is still in DOTM, I really liked that design.

It'll probably change in game, though. Also, Soundwave is a car...Crap.

Didn't they mention customizable controls for WfC? I mean, beyond swapping the transform button to another unused one. :<

But the images are fun. We get Soundwave...maybe a Cliffjumper...colorful decepticons...ha ha.

What I'm impressed with: whoever was involved with Ironhide's creation is awesome. They included his wrecked face, which he's had since the first film! LOL. Props for using the console power to do that, versus one more symmetrical character! :APPLAUSE:

I'm also impressed with how well they kept Ironhide's new guns, and Soundwave's details fairly concealed until now. If you compare to the first images we got ages ago at the top, they did a good job at hiding what we weren't supposed to see yet while still giving us some cool stuff!~ Ha ha.

Maybe 'm just in a good mood today, but man!

Argh, this game has the same sloppy textures that WFC had...

But Soundwave looks AMAZING. Can't wait for his toy.

The Armada game was the greatest thing to happen UNTIL WFC. you should go back and play it again...
