Did anyone notice that Bumblebee is more "Gold" looking then his bland WFC yellow? Could just be the new graphics......or Foreshadowing

IM THROWING MONEY AT MY SCREEN AND NOTHINGS HAPPENING!

Dear Hasbro,

Thank you so much for letting High Moon Studios take reign over the production of Transformer games over the past few years. Many a wallet you have taken. May it stay that way for a long time!

Hasbro originally was going to retire the Dinobots for good, if it wasn't for the perseverance of Mr. Tieger and High Moon Studios. The way we're getting Bumblebee, they should retire HIM and let us have boocoodles of other characters instead of an army of kid-appeal characters (no offense Cheetor, RID Side Burn, Armada Hot Shot, Cybertron Jolt, etc.). We're getting way too much Bumblebee than the doctor ordered in my perspective.

Not thrilled with another voiceless Bumblebee, I thought his voice in WFC was great, probably one of my favourite bits about the character in the first game.
That said, though, his new double barreled rotary cannons are pretty bitchin', and the upgraded gameplay mechanics look to be quite the improvements in the user friendly department. Looking forward to playing this one.

Of course it's not a Prime prequal. Don't be silly.

Bumblebee looses his voice in an entirely different way. In Exodus, he loses it against Megatron at Tyger Pax. In FoC, as seen in the clip, he loses it on the Arc.

Since he was still able to speak a few things at certain points after the Tygar Pax incident, there's a little wiggle room to have this point be the moment at which his voice was gone for good.

There's not any "wiggle room" for how Starscream meets Megatron in Exodus/WFC though.

From a story telling perspective this looks amazing. From a gameplay perspective: meh! It's not amazing but it'll do.

I'm not happy that Bumblebee's gone mute again. The fact we haven't had confirmation of a FoC figure for him yet and the rather ominous first trailer makes me wonder if 'Bee will be spending a lot of this game on the bench.

The voice work doesn't convince me. The actors have done a great job but the sound guys have just copied 'n' pasted them into the game. There's no sense of atmosphere or spacial positioning apart from that moment when Bumblebee's been knocked on his ass.

The way I view any continuity issues is the novels are the novels; the games are the games; the PRIME animation is the PRIME animation. They're all telling the same story (with PRIME many millennia ahead) but they're in alternate realities where minor event has played out differently.

But then that doesn't explain 'Bee's lack of voice.

That would instantly solve any continuity issue. Except, you know, when Exodus contradicts even itself...

Ask Michael Bay that, IJS.

Do you mean the shoulder swapping? Yeah, big woop.

I'd imagine Bruticus is able to do that too. Considering that it's confirmed that his toy can, that's not too far fetched.

Shoulder Swapping, Interactive cutscens, Sprinting, stealth action, and different gameplay for each character.
Yeas, it IS a big whoop.

This is gunna be way way WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY better than the first game. I'm down to play the f*** out of it. I'm still anxious to see some mp action though.

Anybody else notice that bumblebees gun is a neutron assault rifle? It looks A LOT different from WFC look--

the best part of WFC for me, was getting together on XBox Live with a couple of mates and running through the whole thing as my favourite characters. Since that's been taken from me, I'm really hoping the MP is a whole lot of fun, and that the single player story is good.

first, EPIC do want! Take My Money! Vomit Rainbow

If you've played Escelation a lot you know the shoulder swapping is a BIG deal. It doesn't have a cover system but any non-noob players do use cover. It's actually a better cover system because your character isn't "stuck" to an object. You can easily jump over, dash away or transform out of the position.

The sprinting looks cool, stealth also. But which buttons are going to do the sprinting and the swapping? On the ps3 controller all buttons are used clean and efficient.

Graphics+ is nice to see.

For the sound, this is the Bumblebee that I like the most out of all versions. He's very funny in Escelation so I'm a bit sad they mute him.

This is going to be awesome!

So aperently the first mission takes place after the rest of the game. After the first mission, the rest of the game is a flashback that leads up to mission 1. Matt Tieger explains at 27:30

Yep.

My bad. I didn't know you already posted that. But 'till today, I thought the mission was was only attempt #1 to leave Cybertron 'till I heard this news

So how does this first mission fit into the storyline? I would think the Ark would be at the end of the story.

I'm making my prediction now. You're going to be able to be in the ark again at the end of the game, but play as OP.
