Absolutely sick.

I really wish studios would actually show the in game footage on trailers, not just footage from in game movies.

These games have nothing to do with G1!!!

I think the scene where Optimus is held down by some "energon chains" (I think) and is slapped by Megatron is pretty epic.

That may be, but the ending sure seems to be leading to it. The Ark takes off, chased by Decepticons. What's the next logical step? Crashing on Earth.

THE LEVELS OF WANT ARE OFF THE CHARTS

@Rodimus, they kind of hinted that there would be some kind of a longer journey in between their departure from Cybertron and their arrival to Earth. Perhaps a WFC 3? Also, I think that it would be really interesting if the Combaticons were deactivated after trying to overthrow Megatron in this game (like G1), and eventually reactivated by SS (also like G1)

Would also like to acknowledge the presence of some limited Dub Step in this video. You don't have to like it, but Dubstep is going to get into your house!!

It comes out exactly 2 months after my birthday.

It comes out ON my birthday.

To hell with rent! I need to pre-order this game! I wanna see what the multiplayer and the character customization is like! Also: I agree with the comment that this looks like a movie trailer. Better than the trailers we get for the movies.

Got that right. Didn't sound like very good dustep though. They're all trying to take after my youtube link anyway

This should have been the teaser trailer and the first being released today. Seems like it would have been more theatrical that way.

Being an idiot for double posting and multiquoting, but I MUST point out that the game will be released 5 days after my 36th birthday.
Damn I'm so old...

Gawd damn that looks good!

Optimus vs. Megs (finally) & i'm guessing by the looks of the trailer the TF come to earth!

Sweeeeet.


This will be bought on 8/28.

Did you notice at 1:10 when Megatron slaps Prime that Megatron is STILL HIS WFC SELF?!? He must have been exiled or something by SS and is plotting revenge. Did you also notice that he is NEVER holding his fusion cannon as the FOC version? The suspense builds

Now, set us up with a Megatron toy, and I'll be in the most content state of being I've ever been in a long time.

I KNOW!!!

I said the story seems to lead, not that it does lead. I meant that it is echoing the story. The Ark leaves Cybertron, pursued by the Nemesis, they fight and there is references to Earth. Hmm, where did all that occur? Oh yeah, the first G1 episode. I know this is a different Transformers universe but that part of the story is very G1.

Cool trailer! I can't wait to play it.

Oh man this is going to be sweet.

August? Really, well, that's good news.
This trailer was much more impressive than the last one, much better music selection too. More fitting of transformers.

No. After the ships take off, they go throug ha space bridge and get separated. The Ark detects the presence of the AllSpark and go after it. However, they are still lost in unknown territory, so the Matrix guides them to a nearby planet: Veloctiron. They land there and seek assistance from its locals, while also causing a stir in the planet's politics. After departing Velocitron, they use that planet's own Space Bridge to reach another part of uncharted space, where they come across the second colony world of Junkion. Meanwhile the Nemesis is tracking the Ark, following its trail. And they're not the only ones. A mysterious third faction is also following the Ark's course, hunting for Cybertronians. This group arrives on Velocitron ahead of the Decepticons and causes a riot. After they leave, the Decepticons show up with questions. They leave Velocitron, having no business with it, to chase after the Ark once more. While the Autobots are on Junkion, they have some adventures there until the Cons show up and start an epic battle. Things get chaotic when the planet is ripped apart due to something I will not spoil and the third faction shows up later, who become occupied with the Junkions as the Ark and Nemesis make their escape from the ruined planet. In other words, planet-hopping.

Not just hinted, but there's a whole book about it.

A lot in this game is inspired by G1, yes. Homages abound.

Say wut? That's cool!

Story: yes. Gameplay: no.

What he said. Even the Grimlock section is suspect unless it's a highly cinematic portion. The whole point of a "gameplay" trailer is to show us how the game plays. It's in the name. Yes, I know the game is a sequel and based on the original we have a good idea how it'll play but it's a principle thing.

Anyway, still looks pretty cool. Not day one, 45 quid cool but I'll get it eventually. Love all the nods to G1 in the WFC universe.
