Oh snap, Thunderwing! And he's HUUUUUUGE!!

This will probably be one of those games you pick up and play through once, had a bit of fun, and never play again. It shows promise, I'll give it that much. But I'm not holding my breath.

What IS cool, is that Dreadwing must be in their, piloting him! I can see the 3rd parties, drooling!

Holy s*%#! Thunderwing is frickin massive! He looks like dreadwing plus megatron though

Since is a tie-in it will probably be rushed with Thunderwing being the only thing of note, still if Thunderwing was don't like a mech-suit and done as a Cyberverse vehicle/playset, I wouldn't complain

i can only speculate three things:
a.this game sucks
b. this game is ok
c. nintendo lied when they said that the WiiU would be more powerful than
the ps3/360 OR this game has been rushed, BADLY.

I bet they took the Wii version and just threw some better textures on it. Probably trying to get the game out for launch window.

Hey Thunderwing! Why you make think you were Thundertron?

[Down_Shift]

I'll happily buy a Wii U and this game when it comes out!

I don't get the comment about dreadwing piloting Thunderwing. Does it say he does somewhere and I missed it?

Ratchet looks deep in thought. Probably trying to figure out where his nose went.
