The Energon Pub

for decepticon and autobot they do not have enough colors i cant even make my optimus look like magnus there is not even a white the decepticons have colors the autobots dont and vice versa before i got the game i figured you could like change your robots body parts and stuff but no i really like the game i only have 5 levels to a hundred but the character custimization is awful how do you guys feel

The colour palette is sorely lacking.

I did colour Ironhide blue and red to match his G2 Gobot brother, Motormouth.

Sideswipe, I coloured yellow and red to match RID REV,a repaint of G2 Spychanger Sideswipe.

Jetfire can be coloured blue to match Treadbolt, his Classics repaint.

Megatron can be given a light turquoise colour scheme to make him his Machine Wars clone, Megaplex.

That's the best I can do. Though I think Warpath can be coloured similarly to Treads from the boxset that gave us the first Bugbite toy.

Think you can get Acid Storm from the Seeker.

Can't remember if Shockwave can be recoloured as Energon Shockblast, though if I can't remember it probably means I tried and couldn't.

It's a shame the colours are so limited considering the repaint factor is huge in Transformers.

Of course BB as Cliffjumper or Blue-Bee.
Sideswipe can also be Sunstreaker.
Megatron can be G2 Megatron with green & purple.
Black ironhide for 2007 movie.
Green ratchet for 2007 Movie.
Reverse color prime or Nightwatch OP from animated.

Yeah. I was sort of under the impression that you'd be given some "stock" alt-modes but then could customize like arms and legs and head and colours and such...I was really surprised and a bit disappointed at how limited and uninspired the "create your own transformer" feature was that had been talked so highly about...

DOesn't make the game not fun or anything, but they could have done SO much more with that...

I just like the shooting-things-into-slag part of the game.

Customize your own transformer... you mean here's four different colors for preexisting models. It's actually less imaginative than the customize your Space Marines in WarHammer 40000 Dawn of War.

I did enjoy the Campaigns though. I thought the story was pretty strong, I thought Zeta not facing Megatron Directly was a bit unPrime, but otherwise I can only bitch about the incessant hunt for ammo.

BTW how a DLC version of Wheeljack... he was the first TF shown to the world... why not an homage?

Wheeljack anyone?

Agreed on the lack of depth..For a feature they touted as being something they were proud of.. It is kind of lame..That's the thing with video games..If you offer a customize your own character feature, you had damn well better be able to deliver..HEad to toe customization is the only thing that will suffice..not half assing it...

While I would have prefered a more in depth customization process. I can't complain to much, I can make resonable facimiles to certain characters and I simply have fun blowing bots faces off!
