I know you guys know this Game. It was released only in Japan.
Does anyone know where to get this game online or by mail and can it be played it here in the U.S.?
I want it so bad!

I don't know the game, but the first place I would look is ebay.

And it'll be in Japanese you realize.

I haven't played it myself, but you can't play it without a modded PS2.

And I also heard it sucks. Waves of enemies attack you, you're allies don't do anything, and transforming doesn't do anything useful.

I have it. It's fully voiced in English (some good, some bad voice work).

I enjoyed it... but yeah, the CONSTANT waves of enemies without any breaks sucks. And transforming consumes energy and not exactly effective in combat.

But there are moments that make me go wow... such as the appearance of Predaking as a boss! :CON:

Your best bet is probably ebay I looked on playasia.com but it said out of stock. It won't work on a us ps2 with out it being modded or maybe use swap magic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swap_Magic

ok so explain to me about having my PS2 Modded? And the Magic Swap thing is a little confusing. Are they the same thing?

Well, the opening intro is great, but the actual game sucks.

Multiple identical enemies (such as loads of Ironhides) attacking at the same time.

The allies are pretty dumb...

The CGI isn't too good either.

But some of the Gestalts do appear as bosses.

Yeah Ive heard it sucks and it is not what that Trailer portrays it to be, but I want it! How come no one ever thought of a game before that had all the Original G1 Looking Characters. DUH!!!! That would be FANTASTIC to MILLIONS!

It's just that the great Trailer gave evrybody such high hopes and expectations, and when the actual gameplay turned out sucky, all the hopes were dashed...

No, the 2007 game was actually playable.

True It had more missions but basicly the same for the Boss battles one boss and his army of worthless drones but you can't shoot them you have to go hand to hand

But at least they don't have worthless AI, and alt-modes are actually useful.
