The Dinobots are not meant to be logical. They are meant to be giant shock troopers made of awesome.

If it bothers any of you that their altmodes don't work well as good disguises, then the same must also apply to the Insecticons, Predacons, Terrorcons, Decepticon Clones, Monsterbots, Decepticon Headmasters, Firecons, Seacons, Pretender Beasts, Pretender Monsters, and even G1 Shockwave himself (giant flying space gun on Earth makes even less sense than a robotic Earthen dinosaur).

Exactly. The Transformers haven't been robots in disguise for a looooong time. And if they were in disguise, well, they were never very good disguises.

Haha this is exactly HOW it's been described that the Dinobots exist!

The Dinobots' dinosaurs archosaurs weren't around all at the same time, though. Stegosaurus and Apatosaurus went extinct something like 70 million years before Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and Pteranodon showed up; that's roughly the same time difference between T. rex and us! Shockwave would have to be watching Earth for a looooooooooong time.

But how many kids are going to know THAT much about history? To kids, dinosaurs are dinosaurs ... They know their favorites and that's enough. I mean if we're going for that close to historically accurate, well then I'm pretty sure we need to eliminate the Transformers themselves. Point is, no one is looking for a perfect explanation, all it takes is something believable and plausible ... So for most people, this story works.

Wow, Dinobots in multiplayer.

I agree they need their own game mode, it would be way to imbalanced if they run around team deathmatch.
Only Swoop would be normal.

Will it be some sort of an Escalation mode?

I think the current Escalation is way to easy, ammo beacon and healer. When revived full health again. And only 15 waves.
Should be pushed back to 20 waves and a way longer cooldown for the healer/ammo beacon and no full health when revived, just points. Otherwise great mode

Now Bruticus in a multiplayer mode, how would that be done? 5 players for the individual modes, but who would control it when combined? Would be fun that every player has like 60 seconds, 5 minute Bruticus mode then back to 5 bots. And in an escalation mode.

I do hope High Moon milks the hell out of FOC, I need Arcee/Slipstream and all the other WFC bots that weren't in FOC. Just do it, I'll buy it all!

couldnt figure out how to fit them in give me a break we all know they were intentionally kept out so you could do exactly this, put them as dlc charge us a stupid price for em so you can steal more of our money. And i guarantee you that the "dlc" is already on the disc and all your buying is an unlock patch. But anyway im sure these guys will make the multiplayer even more unbalanced than it already is, still say WFC had better online. Well WFC was a better game all around.

Frankly, I'll be happy as long as the T-Rex alt mode is balanced with the other Titan characters.

The point is we're not playing as Grimlock, but rather a rank-and-file soldier of our own creation. So forcing us into melee only and the whole "build up rage to transform" thing doesn't need to happen, as far as I'm concerned.

Just give us Titans who can turn into T-Rexes.

Anyone think we will get Bruticus next?

Yeah the Insecticons are coming up in the DLC after this one, if I remember right, which I think is in like 2 or 3 weeks.
