Look closely at the mechanical parts there. THere is an Autobot insignia engraved on his back. Likewise, I noticed a Decepticon insignia on Megatron's back in one of the previous stills. Very interesting idea, so you can tell who is who when they're backs are to you in combat.

Mmmm.... mediocre....

I was starting to get a good feeling about this game right up until I saw this video. I too like the constantly shifting components on Optimus' back, even though it seemed very repetitive. I loved how viceral the weapons look and sound, and the way they impact enemies. Matt Tieger kept saying how the weapons were very 1980's, but they're nothing like them. More like the movie weapons. And I can't believe there's no cover system. Weak!

Did anyone else notice what I did when he was fighting as the Aerialbot against the 'Titans'? The Titan was firing at him, he engaged his cloak, and the Titan started firing in a completely different direction as if he'd gone completely. Doesn't look like the AI is particularly clever.

God knows I'd kill for a good Transformers game, but I'm not going to hand over my money for such a generic shooter just because it's the ONLY Transformers game out there.

It looks a little repetitive.
I hope it isn't just constant, mindless shooting - that will really affect the game's last-ability. I was hoping for some variation in the missions and a little bit of exploration.
I'll still be buying it, but I can't help feeling slightly underwhelmed.

OK guys, remember that this is a shooter. There is likely to be a lot of shooting and honestly what game isn't at least a little repetitive in some way? 'Bioshock' is a fantastic game but you can still break it down to the simple formula of enter room, kill splicers, hack stuff, kill a big daddy, scavenge items, next room. Repetitive, maybe but you don't really care because it's fun! Likewise this game is gonna be amazing!

Personally I'm fine not getting a cover system like 'Gears'. I find myself annoyed whenever I pick up a new game and find that there is one. They feel clunky and restricting to me. If I need to take cover behind something I prefer just doing it myself rather than putting my faith in the 'take cover button'. I usually get shot in the chest a bunch because I'm not standing or looking in exactly the right spot for the auto-cover to work.

I could have gone without the commentary. I was more interested in how the game itself sounded. From what I could make out though the voice acting, SFX and music all sound great! Speaking of which does anyone think the game will have a commentary option? I love the commentary system that's in Valve games. I think that would be neat.

I just hope that after you finnish the game, they give you free roam! And you can just find random Decepticons scattered through the planet and kill them, like in Spiderman 2.

Wow. This is nothing short of phenomenal!

With every update, this game just keeps looking better and better.

Also, if you have the volume up at high setting, try to listen for Soundwave's voice when he speaks, it has the modulated, monotone sounding voice from G1. It isn't the exact same voice, but it sure sounds an awful lot like it did in the 80's cartoon!
