Just so you know, the weird code you see here is the embed video, it just doesn't work in the forums but needs to be here for the front page.

It looks great! Only two months left...

[partholon]

that was pretty damn cool.

i love how this game flows so much better than the last.

great to see them play up so many old story elements from the cannon too.

cant wait.

[It Is Him]

I can't believe I get to play that!

i know this has been used a squillion times in previous FOC related posts, but:

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY FREAKIN MONEY! JUST TAKE IT! NOW!!!!!

Wonder if Bumblebee will get his voice back in this game.

This game seems to flow MUCH more fluidly then the last game did. Also loving all the canonical characters making cameos right off in the begining level. I hope I can play as Soundwave at sometime in the campaign...Did I mention I really want this game?

[#Sideways#]

That was... Amaz...ing!!

Its like a more Hardcore G1!!! (Shut up. Don't say that this is a Prime Prequel.)

I want to preorder this thing so badly.

[dirk2243]

Looks pretty sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, but I came to the realization that I'm getting tired of bumblebee.

but very awesome looking!

[sky_fire12]

They made bumblebee mute here too?!!!!! CURSE YOU MICHAEL BAY !!!!

[jgilkinson]

I really enjoyed the first game with the exception of the multiplayer achievs (anyone want to help an xbox live user?) but this game looks even better... Bring on the game already

[sharkticonspawner56]

HOLY CRAP THIS LOOKS INCREDIBLE! The metal looks more realistic, the graphics have improved dramatically, even the generic troopers have improved, having more character than WFC. This is game will be one of the best ever!

[Sabrblade]

Something this clip doesn't mention is how this level takes place during the game's present, while the rest of it is a giant flashback to before the ships take off.

Wonder if Bumblebee will get his voice back in this game.

Doubtful, since his official game bio refers to him pressing on despite having lost his voice.

It's not. It's a WFC sequel. Prime just happens to take place much later.

Though, Matt Tieger did confirm a connection, with saying that Optimus' gun in this game is meant to become the gun he wields in the cartoon. Not to menion Cliffjumper's head and the overall design of the Nemesis.

[Jazz813]

I saw that the changing weapon to left or right improves the gameplay, that maked WFC a little bad, and the score of the first mission is just epic, I hope that we can get also a game score from the game or at least to download it by iTunes.

[BeastProwl]

That sprinting, those voice actors, that gameplay, that music, that EPIC thats oozing out of my computer screen. THATS THE GAME!? It's like I just watched a boxoffice hit from the third person! That is by far the single most amazing....!
I cannot describe it in words.
Two months? I'm sorry, but I cant wait that long...

[orangeitis]

Shut up. Don't say that this is a Prime Prequel.

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.

Pressing on after the game is over, or till it's over?

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.

Can't tell. Just says "presses on".

[First-Aid]

Gimme. Now. Or I will hurt you.

I thought Ratchet said something like his voice box was "still" out or something. Meaning he lost it prior to that.

Loved that clip. Man they have such a cinematic flair. Better graphics, gripping action and a boss soundtrack. I am stoked to play this now

[MasterSoundBlaster]

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!

...but I came to the realization that I'm getting tired of bumblebee.

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.
