Grindor? hell no, If I have to, I'll hire some to edit the damn game and fix it to Blackout, Im not happy with that.

I'll like the graphics, but I hope the PS2 version isnt gonna be in a decade of own graphics and somewhat a bit close to this one. I also am very happy with the mid lfight transformations, no longer do you have to hit the ground to transform again, they finally picked up a few tips from the DS version :mrgreen:

Happy about the non one shot deaths now, much harder or much tougher openants now. will actually enjoy the game this time and not trash everything and everyone in a matter of seconds.

And choasbly characters, come on! thats what we've been asking for since Armada, and hell you could only pock one team then, or fraction. but more choce would have been better, but Im not gonna ask for more this round, don't complain this time round guys this should be money worth.

I hope the PS2 version is like this but with scaled down graphics. The Wii version is supposedly going to be on rails, which sucks balls, and I don't have a 360 or PS3. This game looks much better than the first movie game, so I'm hoping I'll actually get to play it.

That is very impressive! Devastator is awesome! :APPLAUSE:

anybody else notice that on the decepticon character select screen theres a directional pad icon that says "switch skin" in the middle on the bottom of the screen.

The game seems to play alot like the old Robotech game for the PS2. Zip to point A and protect x from the enemy, zip to point B and protect y from the enemy.

I'm glad to see that the timer on the top left-hand corner of the screen is just a "try to complete in this time for different rewards" mechanic, and not a "time remaining to complete the mission" mechanic. Also, I did notice the "change skin" option on the character select screen, that's most likely where the bonus content comes in no doubt.

The game is looking good, I can't wait, only less than two weeks remaining. :grin:

Okay, so.... did that guy say that you can take your time with the mish, no time limit and concluding to failure of the mission? and June 23?! it's June 16! Next Tuesday I believe. Hopefully you can take your time on the missions. Hated the first Movie game, don't know why I just went ahead and bought it.

Ha suck attack. Now thats funny. But wow the gameplay looks so much better then the first one. The first one was great and this looks to be way better. I especially like the RPG like elements. Is it wrong to look forward to the game more then the movie? Na i didnt think so either. So can you step on sam? I hope so that would be epic. Why is Blackout called grindor? His form didnt change at all from what i could tell. Are they going to release a patch after the movie comes out to change the name back or is that what hes called now?

Devastator looks like a big mechanical dog. I don't see the excitement in that mission at all. All Devy does is attack the army.

The graphics look much better this time around plus I like the fact that both factions have assistance rather than the one sided battles in the first game with an endless bombardment of enemy drones and no assist on your side. Plus for once, the humans aren't shooting at you but with you...at least for Autobots!. I like the little auto-turret that Ironhide deployed; that seemed like a very interesting tool to use and I hope they added much more abilities to the other bots. Also its nice to hear much more in game dialogue from both bots, drones and humans. It may sound silly, but hearing them talk gives much more depth and quality to them. Another thing I love is the character option menu before each mission, definitely a plus now that the cast of Transformers has increased.

It seems they have a mission rating system similar to the DS version or Medal of Honor series. Much nicer than getting random reward points for just driving fast and throwing s*** into the sky. Also, it looks like the missions have much more useful objectives to them. I hope none of the submissions will not be something retarded and useless as just destroying stuff and running around madly to collect stupid floating cogs. I also pray they DON'T have us on a Energon Cube scavenger hunt to unlock bonus content. I can't stress enough how much time I wasted trying to find every single last cube only to find I just unlocked a lovely picture of a Transformer Movie toy or a trailer I could find online. And for the love of all that is holy, A MAP WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATIVE. It worked wonders for the original DS, but why not the other systems?

And as if we didn't have any more confusion with the whole "Devastator VS. Brawl" naming debate, here comes Grindor flying in! It seems ironic that they didn't rename Megatron to Galvatron for the sake of not confusing the mainstream audience, but to get another Transformer with the same alt AND robot mode but as a completely different character seems almost hypocritical. But what I can say, Blackout or not its still gonna be pretty badass to see him in action at least. Plus it makes me wonder if in following the suite with the original series, the Seekers bot modes will be similar if not the same to Starscream in order for them to all be the same vehicle. But hey, maybe you can just consider it as homage to G1 or something.

I agree with most of the things you said. But the part with Blackout/Grindor name, I think that they're two different characters now and maybe it's just that they look the same. I guess we'll find out when the movie's released.

Yes, that's what I'm saying, however, I've recently watched gameplay footage, and while you CAN take your time, be warned that there are certain objectives that will give you a time limit. Otherwise, yes, you can take your time.
