Has anyone else noticed that according to the on screen instructions on the new TF Movie Game that the Transformers no longer transform, they convert!

"Autobots, convert and roll out".

Doesnt work does it.

I cannot believe that somebody didnt put their hand up and point it out.

Just curious, if muppet means idiot in the UK what are Kermit, Miss Piggy and other such creations of Jim Henson's Studio called there?

What.

You must be joking. That's Prime's catchphrase! They got him 100% right in the movie, but the game can't even do his catchphrase right?

that's not even the worst i've heard/seen. The game is very untrue to the movie. The dialogue is some of the worst i've heard and the transformers are totally out of character. 90% of the time prime is telling you to just blow stuff up and 'take him/them out'. Terrible!

I believe Animal wrote the game. He needs some money as the bands last album didn't do to well and Dr Teeth is taking a majority of the profits :grin:

Prime's catchphrase didn't change. They just used a synonym to describe the act of changing from one form to the other. Be glad they didn't use something else.
