Does anyone else think it would be kind of cool (By cool, I mean different, cool.) that in a TF game, instead of playing as TFs, you played as humans trying to take down the Decepticons like in the movies? I think it would be pretty cool.

And maybe even have you control some Headmasters in the game too in some levels. I've always wanted to shoot down a TF.

The average Transformers fan already doesn't like it when there's too much face time with the humans on the show. If the humans got all of the attention, it'd be impossible to defend.

That said it's actually a pretty good idea, as long as you can still play as Transformers.

I'm one of the ones who hates humans in Transformers too, but it would be like a third person shooter with TFs that you have to take down. I think that would be interesting and different, still as long as there's a balance between the humans and the robots that are actually in the game.

Or there could be 3 separate campaigns. An Autobot, a Decepticon, then a human campaign.

That's basically what they do with Aliens vs. Predator games. In the latest one, the human campaign as probably the best of the three.

That is a pretty good idea. I don't think it would work for an entire game, but as a campaign like said would work.

Autobot vs Decepticon vs Human could work. A wholly human-based game would not appeal to me, but in an FPS campaign it might work. More likely though would be an RTS type of game, where the humans could have more resources and numbers.

I was thinking a 3rd person, cover based shooter type thing. Where you have to take cover and shoot at Decepticon drones (Sizes of Frenzey and Alice in the movies) then you'd be able to take down the big bosses later.

There would have to be a variety of enemies. Some medium sized TFs like Bumblebee sized that aren't full bosses.
