Seibertron.com forum member Cyberpath has brought us news via PureXBox.com of a potential new Transformers game being developed by Activision for the X-Box console.

The cel-shaded browser, reminiscent of the classic Sunbow Entertainment Generation 1 cartoon style will see a X-Box 360 release and most likely a release for the X-Box One. Very little about the game is known but it's expected that more details of the game will be revealed at E3 2015 next week.

Check out some of the screenshots from below and stay tuned for (hopefully) some more news of the game in the next week!

I'm a big G1 fan and this looks great! The shade Technology fits good in there and reminds me of the shades introduced in transformers the movie.

Just hope the Gameplay will give the feel of a good Entertaining Game.

Yeah the cell shading looks too good for the G1 cartoon and much more like the animated movie as said. Could be a fun game but I'm not a fan of the cartoon and I don't have Xbox. I'd be open to trying out a demo on playstation some day if it happens.

The environment brings up bad memories of the Movie 1 game. Sure hope this one doesn't have those stupid timers and "action" zones.

Close.

To be a true G1 game, the battle chargers need to be replaced with purple air warriors and the swords replaced with energy weapons similar to Prime's axe. Automobile alt modes are looked down upon in the Decepticons.

I dig the visual style! Looks really similar to spider man shattered dimensions. Hopefully the gameplay's good, I won't judge the game until I see some gameplay. Let's hope it's not just a generic beat-em-up game....

EDIT:
Oooh snap. I just read the article and now I reallllllllllllllllllly hope that platinum games is developing this.

Cartoons and films come and go, but the Sunbow show is forever. ;)

Just this week I was thinking how cool it would be to have a cel-style "G1" video-game.

I hope the game is as much fun as it is pretty!

To qoute Brawl "real Decepticons roll on treads". The Battle chargers in this game have much more in common with the Autobots they are fighting than Megatron.

Looks amazing.

Always thought the Battle chargers would make good army builders. In fact I wanted them repainted as the purple watchdogs from the Ultimate Doom.
I think these drones should be called Watchdogs.

All the characters from the preview images (Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Devastator) have something in common -- their original voice-actors are still active.

Here's hoping they will reprise their roles!

(Frank Welker alone voiced a dozen characters.)

Does anyone else think this looks kind of like the Dreamwave art style? Slightly disappointed that there's no chance of High Moon making this since War for and Fall of Cybertron are still 2 of my favorite games.

High Moon is working with (Most likely for) Bungie on Destiny and its future games.




The High Moon Transformers games age is over for good.

So you have a 360... and want to play the game (correct?).... but won't because you hate the big M?

Not saying it won't eventually be released by other systems, but why miss out? They've already got the bulk of your money from you buying the system.

If I were forced to choose, I'd go Nintendo (because I'm a nostalgic idiot) but I have no real loyalty to any of them. I buys what I wants.

Thank god. I never tried FoC cos War For Cybertron was such a huge boring waste of time and money with terrible floaty altmode controls and blocky models and oh god the tediousness of fighting the large bosses like Trypticon. I want that thrill from hurtling down a mountain in vehicle mode dodging trees and then transforming into robot form and blasting away. The PS2 Armada game may have had some faults (like the annoying physics when knocked or killed) and was based on a bad series but I always thought it deserved a sequel with improvements. Also I'd like them to put that game on PSN so I could play it again on my PS3. I don't have a PS2 anymore.

I was gonna give FoC a try to see if it had been improved but friends told me it was pretty much the same as WfC.

Visually it looks good. But visually it also looks like a walky, punchy, waves of bad guys game. If it's just that, I'll wait for the sales. We'll see.

"and more" = Michael Bell (Sideswipe) and Gregg Berger (Grimlock)?

I hope they figured out how to process Megatron's and Soundwave's voices like in the original series.

This is too cool.

Thank Primus this game is being released on last gen consoles. I don't hate Activision yet. Shouldn't be too much nickle-and-dime-ya DLC.
I haven't bought a new video game in at least a year and already want this as much as the exclusive to Japan PS2 game, The Transfomers.
I really hope it's at least as good as WFC and FOC.

Glad it's coming out on PS3 since the only next gen console I have is a WiiU and the last TF game that got wasn't very good. I may not be a Die hard Geewunner but even I'm pretty excited about this.

Visually, It's jewel to marvel at, especially for the G1 fans. The only games I've paid full price for in the last two years were Batman Arkham Origins, WWE 2k14, and Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix...out of all three of them, I feel that the my money was only well spent on the latter third. My point is, I really hope Activision doesn't screw the fans around with DLC, or buggy controls. I'll wait for the price to drop and watch a couple of gampeplay videos before making a final decision.

As excited as I am about this, I'm actually rather bummed about not having playable Decepticons. I REALLY want to fly around as a seeker :-(
