Yes!!!

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

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.

I mean where are the other memorable staple Autobots?
Jazz
Ironhide
Ratchet
Cliffjumper (Argueble)
Prowl (despite his absence from the High Moon games)
Arcee
Jetfire
Ultra Magnus
Hot Rod (Rodimus)
Probably a few more I could state but these are the ones at the very top of my head.

This news is still very fresh, I'm hoping if there aren't separate campaigns then playable Decepticons are at least unlockable. But for the moment, whats unconfirmed will be treated as such.

It's people like you that give developers reason to attempt to profit even more on an unfinished or broken product. In-game unlockable characters I can totally dig. Extra skins already in the game code for more money can suck it!
SMH. FML.

Yup I will pay for stuff like that and it clearly works if people still do it.
It's only a small loud minority that has a problem with dlc the reason you see people complain about DLC is because the people who are satisfied stay quiet.
You have a choice buy it or don't buy it if you dislike the dlc then don't buy it.

I don't reward greed.
I've had no beef with you.
I refuse to pay for any game over and over.
Stick to your local lottery if you want to waste your money. (You might win!)
Don't push it on the rest of us who want quality games.
I can't help ignorance but I suppose the quiet majority just loves garbage and can't be bothered to share.
I'm sure you want the game to sacrifice single player and story for multiplayer and online always DRM as well.
Posted by Trikeboy on June 13th, 2015 @ 10:18pm CDT
For example, there will probably be a Decepticon campaign, like all other Transformers games.

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.
ok so i should continue to support a company i despise just because ive already given them money? That is the exact kind of thinking that keeps bad companies & trends going. If you had a crappy internet provider or cell phone your telling me youd stick with it just becuase you've already given them money? I dont like nor trust microsoft so i will no longer support them no matter what, and that goes for anything i have fallen out of favor with.

Duh. If you don't like something just throw money at it until you do.
It's just like anyone defending the live action sequels.

And on a minor note, I really hate that logo, it's much too generic. The font is right, but everything else looks amateurish.

Ok your taking this too far with insulting me you have absolutely no right in doing that to me when I have never insulted you.
I'm not greedy I just like small bits of dlc so I have a reason for continuing to play a game.
Your insults sure make it you have beef with me (I never once said anything about you)
What does this have to do with anything I said?
The lottery is stupid and unlike it I have a guarantee at getting what I want when I pay for it.
Are you kidding? are you seriously kidding me?! I have not said a single time to go buy the dlcs or that you had bad taste if you don't are you like even reading my posts or are you skimming them?
Garbage? Now thats an opinion not a fact and what the hell are you talking about sharing for? It's digital content there's infinite amounts for everyone.
Why would my want of dlc have to do with getting rid of single player or story?
I'm not stupid about gaming if I like the games enough I will buy all the dlc and that's all I'm saying I'm not saying I will lick the developers boots or anything.
I'm done here I'm staying off this site and staying away from this forsaken fandom for awhile until I can come here without making myself suicidal or murderous.

A lot of PC games don't get physical copies these days so don't let the lack of a Best Buy listing discourage you. Many Activision games make their way to Steam including the last three Transformers games so I have a good feeling about this one.
On a side note: How long before Hasbro gives us a figure of that purple Ramjet or the TFCC does a blue Runamuck/Runabout?

So character designs that work should be discarded for new ones even if the new ones are vastly inferior to the old ones. This is a very fascinating viewpoint you guys have.

There is no need to be hostile in presenting opinions. In fact, we are actively asking you not to do so.
This is the second thread warning.

Touchy touchy.
I can't help if you're personally offended by my comments which encompass the majority.
I HAD no beef with you. Past tense. Now the story is different.
I'm allowed to have my own opinions which are typically based on facts and share those opinions.
Based on the facts this game looks incredible but there's always a chance some aspect of it will be revealed that doesn't jive with me and it'll be off my radar from then on.
I quoted you. I didn't specifically refer to you. If I had I would have done so directly by name, mirageandjazz1197.
I didn't want to post this and risk a warning but I had to try to put your mind at ease. If you're serious about that last comment, please seek help. I, by no means, meant to incite such a dramatic reaction.

Well some people don't actually practice what they preach brother. The world is full of loose screws like that. Like you, I'm subscribed to this thread to talk about the game and not rant against G1.
Hopefully the console exclusivity won't last too long.

Right now I'm trying to decide what system to play it on. I've got PS3, 360, and WiiU. Right now I'm leaning towards 360 for the controller, but is this finally the time for me to get a current gen console?

The WiiU is no slouch, but yes it is time to upgrade. I'm not even going to touch trying to give a suggestion. I've really been enjoying the PS4 though. It's really a matter of personal preference. But I always suggest looking at the exclusives.
On topic: I'm digging the cell shade graphics. The good thing about those are that they look good on older hardware. I'm also a sucker for that art style.
I was going to come here and wish for multi-platform, but my wish has already been granted.
Platinum making the game really sweetens the pot. They make really great action games. I did how ever enjoy High Moon's games, FoC more than WfC.
I do like my games with more meat to them. So I'm hoping for some type of upgrade system at least.
Off topic: I'm still sad they never made any figures for the Transformers Universe game.
