So true I have been blowing the Reflector horn for so long now.
The character needs only a slight update. He needs to be a minion
Of Soundwave (he fits into the spy network perfectly) and he
needs to combine in vehicle and robot mode. Essentially he becomes
a 3 robot combiner, he would then be about as tall as Soundwave in this mode.

An update for alternate mode as a spy satellite would be perfect based on his tech specs.

Exactly. Or you could have multiple members collectively referred to as the Reflector Corps., which turn into surveillance vans, news vans, UAV drones, news helicopters, etc.

You know, there was something I was going to say, but I think it'd be funnier if you go and find out for yourself.

Oh, I know. I'm literally planning on waiting all night until the store opens in the morning. I've even scoped out the spot, and I know where I'm going to be sitting, sleeping, and everything. I'll even vlog my journey of waiting at the door for 10 hours, just so I'll be the first in line. I've never done it before, and I don't have anything better to do.

It'll be cute when you get picked up for loitering. Also, that you think there's going to be a line for this game.

They won't care at 12 in the morning when there's no one there for me to bother. And even if there is no line, at least I'll be able to exercise my loyalty to the Transformers brand.

I am smirking right now. This is too great!!

Don't I know it! There's so many ways this can end for him, and all of them make me laugh.

I was really laughing because of the conversation, not because of his situation. To me that is great!

You can use Megatron's shotgun from DOTM. I hope there are more movie weapons in the game. That would be great.

I played this game all night last night. I had low expectations for it but I can't believe how much fun I had. I was going to stop to watch walking dead and decided to play challenge mode. Fight the constructicons!!! Played as wheeljack. It was so hard! And finally beat all 6 and of course here comes devastator with full health. There's a rpg side to the weapons and skill bonuses to make your character better so probably easier down the road, I had just beat chapter 1. Played on the 360 looks really good for a 360 game compared to next gen. Is it a buy idk... at full price idk.. but definitely worth getting at some point

I just uploaded a fanmade trailer to my You Tube page, but Platinum just uploaded an official one. Yay. Probably the last real new trailer for the game. Forever.

That looked amazing, Megs in the back of Longhaul, doing something with his cannon other than clubbing another bot or missing a shot...... Tank Megatron needs to be the next masterpiece Megatron figure!

Now do I stop reading this thread to avoid spoilers, or do I risk it to continue reading the Shadowman versus SlyTF1 pillow fight? This is a tough call.

Keep reading. The pillow fight is pretty funny. funny as hell even. I'm with Slytf1's side here. we got some general enthusiasm and it's cool to see people use that enthusiasm. Plus it's funny (did I say that already?) :-D

There are plenty of people who have already uploaded entire playthroughs on You Tube. It isn't that far fetched.

I think most of us are with Sly in our enthusiasm for this game. It's Platinum + Transformers. There's no way it's not going to be bananas, which is exactly why I don't want it ruined for me either. I can't get mad seeing spoilers in a thread about a video game once it's out. But then again, you are totally on the nose about their arguments.

I'm so disappointed. It comes out tomorrow, and it's not my payday. Medical leave is a kick in the butt.

I like the way it looks I really do. I'll save how I feel about it after I have a few hours of game play down.

I wonder how Sly's loite...er, "waiting in line" is going. Did he bring snacks? A chair? Maybe he's in county jail already?

by **Insidious** » Tue Oct 06, 2015 5:34 am

I've just played a little so far, but it's a batch of nostalgic awesomeness for me. I would have sunk a thousand quarters into this game as a kid. :-D

I just don't get why it's not co-op.

Beyond that, it's fun. ;)^

The day has come, fellow Seibertronians of the gaming persuasion, for Transformers: Devastation to burst into your consoles and devices and take up time, money and effort after months of previews and teasers! Check out below the Activision press release for the game, along with a brand new trailer!

ACTIVISION PUBLISHING, INC. LAUNCHES PLATINUMGAMES’ EARTH-SHATTERING ACTION-BRAWLER: TRANSFORMERS: DEVASTATION

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Oct. 6, 2015 – Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), today released TRANSFORMERS: Devastation. This new third-person action-brawler rolls into battle with Hasbro’s classic Generations designs and developer PlatinumGames’ renowned flair for slick visuals and free-flowing, high-speed combat.

TRANSFORMERS: Devastation moves at a breakneck pace: rocket through danger in vehicle mode before bursting into robot mode to unleash a barrage of close-quarters combos and blaster fire. Tackle the game’s gripping single-player campaign and 50 highly challenging bonus missions with any of five playable heroes – OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE, SIDESWIPE, WHEELJACK and GRIMLOCK. Each of these characters can be evolved with new abilities, unique talents and more than 150 upgradeable weapons.

Brought to life with bold, cel-shaded artwork, TRANSFORMERS: Devastation features legendary TRANSFORMERS voice actors like Dan Gilvezan as BUMBLEBEE, Frank Welker as MEGATRON and SOUNDWAVE, Michael Bell as SIDESWIPE, Gregg Berger as GRIMLOCK, and Peter Cullen as OPTIMUS PRIME. As the fates of Earth and Cybertron collide, the noble AUTOBOTS must face off against the DECEPTICONS’ most ruthless champions in an original adventure from veteran TRANSFORMERS writer Andy Schmidt that expands the series’ ongoing Combiner Wars story arc.

TRANSFORMERS: Devastation is now available for MSRP $49.99 on the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Windows PC via Steam. It is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB. For more information, please visit www.TransformersGame.com and www.facebook.com/TransformersGame.

I just uploaded the video on my You Tube page of me camping outside of Gamestop last night and picking the game up today. I'm not going to post it here for reasons, but I did get the game. I just hope it was worth it.

I actually received my copy yesterday via Amazon. The game itself is absolutely stunning and if you're a fan of games such as Bayonetta, or just a fan of pulling off crazy combos, you're sure to love this game too.

News Credits: 37 · by **SlyTF1** » Tue Oct 06, 2015 1:10 pm

I've been playing for almost 2 hours, and only beat the first mission. The whole thing was like the last 40 minutes of any of the TF movies. This game is intense and you can die pretty damn easily. Even though I haven't yet. One thing I don't like, though, are that the enemies still hit you even while you're hitting them. I always hate that in games. Other than that, it's the greatest game of all time.
