The Energon Pub

I hope that they add wildrider to the decepticon cast. The other 4 are already there, and menasor would be a good boss fight.

Some characters to add for it:
Autobot;
Wheeljack
Sunstreaker
ROTF-based Jolt
Impactor (tank), Springer (helicopter), and Roadbuster(Truck?) for one mission
Rotorstorm
Railspike(Truck)
Decpticon;
Wildrider
Bludgeon
Bonecrusher(Tank)
Long Haul(Truck, but more of a highway dumper)
Scrapper
Mixmaster
Blackout
Lugnut

I think that these 16 would fit well, and allow two sub-classes for each multiplayer class:
Scouts; Infiltrator(melee) and Harasser(sniper)
Scientist; Offensive(debuff oriented, helicopter)/Defensive(buff-oriented, jet)
Leader; Cargo(team ammo dump effectively) and Armor
Soldier; Groundpounders and Skyhammerers (Lugnut would be this)

True. They need to fix all connection problems; "Host has Quit", "Connection to host lost" and "Connection to host timed out". Timed out??? I mean seriously, what does that even mean? Were being timed? Not to mention all the lagging with that stupid little symbol in the top right corner and then everyone starts aimlessly running in to corners, your arms all of a sudden disappear, and then the game freezes and ends. Also they need to fix all the random selection of maps. Its really stupid for a group of people to be playing and then half of them get kicked out cuz they dont have the map. THEN those who are left are thrown into a game with uneven teams like 3 against 1 or 5 against 2. Let us see and choose what games are taking place in which maps and let us enter those games that we want.
Which also brings me to another stupid thing, "Waiting for balanced teams" when its clearly balanced 4 on 4 or 3 on 3, but NOOO, the system wants to wait for one more person to make 4 on 3 or 5 on 4. What the hell is that????!!!! How is that balanced??!! What were the game developers thinking?!
Don't get me wrong I love this but there are some things about it that make me have this love/hate relationship with it.

unless the fix the mp problems that plagued the original i cant see it being much of a success but at least we might get more than 4 new molds dedicated to the characters

I think it would be cool if they just continued on and made G1's More than Meets the Eye into a game. Can you imagine a game based on the More than Meets the Eye part 1, 2, and 3 episodes where they start on Cybertron and then crash land on earth. That would be an interesting in depth story to tell.

Finally! someone who finally understands what I have to suffer through as well. to be honest i thought i was the only one experiencing this problem!

This might explain things a bit.

Well that really explains what it is but dosent really tell me which one of the reasons it is. Being that this is a multiplayer platform it could be anybody causing it. How do you make it stop? I know, with a cancellation signal I read, but what is that and where is one?
Thanks though.

Either you have a bad connection, or the host does. There's no real way to stop it, though.

I myself have thought many times that the problem was my connection too. But I do play other online games and this seems to be the only game where I have these problems. Which is why I'm convinced its a problem with the game sever itself.

Am I the only one who thinks WFC might tie into beast wars? In the end of WFC they are building the Ark...they discovered the Ark in Beast Wars...so im wondering if the sequel will be about finishing the ark and building the Nemesis and getting them into space and maybe some character development and a little space battle with the end of the game being the two ships crashing on Earth.

Opinions?

It does not. Beast Wars is a Primax series, tied with G1 material (most prominently the G1 cartoon).

WFC is not a Primax game, as it is part of the modern aligned continuity with the Exodus novel and Prime cartoon.

I have not read the Exodus yet. How is it?

Drastically different from WFC, but a decent read. It basically establishes the world of the modern Transformers fiction (excluding the movies), even though it does contain a few errors and quibbles. Notably, it is only vaguely similar to the WFC video game, but it's best for one to read it himself to make his own unbiased opinion about it.

As for how WFC doesn't tie in with G1 (or Beast Wars), look here and here for more info.

Everything you just said happened in G1 first. G1 BEGINS with the Ark crash-landing on Earth after being boarded by the Decepticons.

And if it doesn't tie into G1 (Which, as explained before repeatedly, WfC does not) it doesn't tie into Beast Wars.

The only problem is....WAITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In wfc during the level "to the core" just outside "the core" in the lake of energon area optimus and ironhide engage in some banter in which iron hide says "by the way optimus, it's nice to see you step up and be the leader I always knew you could be, what took you so long?"

optimus's response is "that is a story for another time..."

i bet wfc 2 is that story!

Or, since Exodus is also getting a sequel, and since chapters 16-39 were (loosely) adapted from WFC, I'd say that the WFC sequel's plot will be basically similar to that of the Exodus sequel.

haven't read that so i didn't know but sounds like a solid possibility to me!

Go read it ASAP. It's far from perfect and is really only a decent read, but it's still a must for anyone wanting to know the full backstory to the Transformers: Prime continuity.
