Was I the only person that couldn't even hear Peter Cullen? I barely heard any words at all.

Tue Jan 12, 2010 2:51 pm

Was that Trypticon? cooooool.

So we see Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Bumblebee, Omega Supreme, Megatron, Skywarp, Soundwave and Trypticon. All instantly recognisable despite having new bodies. I knew they were going to do Trypticon. Alot of people were saying the big character was Devestator but I am so glad it's Trypticon. If this game sucks we should lynch the people who made this amazing trailer.

Peter Cullen is Prime now and always. He totally sells the game.

Awesome truly awesome, i cant wait for this game. It only took what 20 years for them to finally give us the war on cybertron thats not in paper form. I just hope thats not Megatrons voice.I hope its just a filler voice and not the final voice actor. Or not Megatrons at all. They've done a good job so far dont fail us here.

Just noticed that Ratchet has a red helmet and white fin. I also think it is Starscream and not Skywarp. My mistake.

Great trailer for a Transformers CG cartoon but this is a trailer for a video game. Good to hear Peter Cullen reprise his role as OP but I'm interested in gameplay.

Tue Jan 12, 2010 3:08 pm

FUC/ING EPIC!!!!!!! I WANT THIS GAME NOW!!!!!!! :BOOM:

Tue Jan 12, 2010 3:17 pm

Great CG vid there, but Meg's voice is downright hideous (why not get Kaye?). I guess they are trying to emulate his Bay-voice, but dear lord, that doesn't fit at all.

The rest is AOK, though I'm really surprised at Cullen's involvement. If anything his movie-performance made it clear that he is a bit too old for it...

Tue Jan 12, 2010 3:22 pm

This looks amazing! Can't wait for the game and the toy line!

News Credits: 7 · Tue Jan 12, 2010 3:29 pm

I hope they use Frank Welker for Megatron. There are so many original voices still available. Gregg Berger if not for Grimlock for Skyfire!

Tue Jan 12, 2010 3:35 pm

Trypticon owns so hard :APPLAUSE:

Tue Jan 12, 2010 3:39 pm

Wow, that trailer was just amazing. I love that Trypticon and (Metroplex?) are in it. At first I thought Trypticon was devastator since this seems to be fusing G1 and movie designs....yeah I know, weird.

Anyways, this is just awesome! I can't wait to get this game.
Also, it's funny how this seems to fit almost exactly in where movie 1 said there was a war that made them come to earth....

When Trypticon came out of the sky, that was just epic. I can not wait for this game, and only hope it lives up to these CG trailers.

I'm skeptical about the actually being Cullen. Maybe just someone who does the Prime voice well. It sounded younger. Cullens Prime sounds old, mostly because Cullen is old. I have no problem with Megatron's voice. Any Megatron beats Welker's Megatron. G1 Megatron's voice is ear bleeding awful.

Can't wait to see some game play. If they pull off the Gears game play well with the Transformers then I'm game.

My hopes started to fall when i heard this plays simular to Gears of War...If this game is anything like Gears of War then that will be a big shame. Why ruin such a great idea? Lets just hope it is not like GoW.

The trailer was pretty great but kinda scarry, like when Omega Supreme wiped out a whole bunch of decipitcons...my stomach sank and felt sick. A tad bit disturbing. I know its sapose to be gritty but it looks a little too violent for me. Bumblebee was sweet. I want to see more of Ratchet, he's always in the background.

Oh how i hope this does the right things and be good.

Sorry, but the developers have stated that it will play like Gears styled combat. Which is fine with me, I like Gears. I'm sure that it will be less cover based, and of course vehicles will play in the mix, so it will be interesting to see this pan out.

I hope is has a lot of robot gore like Gears. Cutting people in half will be very satisfying.

This trailer proves that there is a God in heaven, and he wants us to be happy. Wasnt Metroplex the rival to Trypticon? Why is Omega being used here?

Tue Jan 12, 2010 4:10 pm

This is just awesome. I hope Omega Supreme is a playable character :grin:

That's not a disturbing statement at all....
For me gameplay is what matters, not the violence level. But, they're robots so seeing some dismemberment doesn't really bother me much. The atmosphere and storyline seem very compelling, but it has to be palyable... I'm hoping for the best.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Jan 12, 2010 4:24 pm

Fine, cutting robots in half will be very satisfying. You know you want to cut off some Decepticon appendages. You can't say you never took parts off your figures as a kid acting like they where getting chopped or shot off (and if you didn't you were playing totally wrong

). It's like that, but better.

Tue Jan 12, 2010 4:33 pm

TRYPTICON!

Yay!

And look, updated designs that pay homage to the originals and yet somehow manage to look cool without also looking like an assemblage of random pieces with insect heads.

Crazy.

Can't wait for the toy line.

Whether or not what we're seeing is in game or rendered- the models all exists and are designed to be animated. If Hasbro is a smarty, they would be designing the game's library as such so that it can be reused for an animated series.

Indeed.
