All this does is make me wanna get MP Sideswipe, when I can afford it. Right now the only ones I can find are knockoffs.

Of course there isn't going to be an Android version. Why would there be?

Because they want to.

Oh wow, I never knew hat about Transformers before! How insightful! it certainly informs me more than any wiki out there that doesn't address the name at all!

Thank you. What I mean is, has this ever been officially addressed? As in, we all know why Slag was renamed and we all know why some bots have the prefix Autobot, and we all know the story behind Skyfire/Jetfire but Goldfire is an enigma as far as I know.

Yes! but you could also argue.....why shouldn't there be? coz Android have had lots of Transformers games over the years.....good or bad.

Have there ever been Android versions of any home console TF games?

TF Age Of Extinction...even though it was that terribly overused Aztec Run style of game! & ok..Rise Of The Dark Spark was different....but it did feature characters from that same movie....& the section where your Drift...did have elements of driving & running into the screen & dodging things similar to that of the Android version

Because there's no way they'd be able to get it to work on an Android.

YOU FOOL! It wouldn't be the ps3/4, Xbox One versions ON Android! it would be a version FOR Android. but seeing as it's console only anyway! Then obviously an Android version is redundant.

So you're wondering if they're going to make a totally different game, give it the same name, and put it on Android?

No, that's stupid.

Mortal Kombat X. Different between console and iOS/Android versions but bears the same name.

In that case, don't be condescending towards other members and their thoughts/ideas/questions.

ActivisionGames Youtube Channel has posted a new behind the scenes of Transformers Devastation featuring Peter Cullen. The video has been embedded below. They also officially revealed pre-order bonuses including 3 weapons consisting of The Dark Star Saber, The Photon Disrupter and the twin Golden Hunter blaster pistols. Also available with the pre-order is 3 character skins featuring Nemesis Prime, Red Alert and Goldbug. You can read the news release also below.

ACTIVISION PUBLISHING, INC. ROLLS OUT PRE-ORDER BONUSES FOR PLATINUMGAMES’ TRANSFORMERS: DEVASTATION

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Sept. 2, 2015 – Today Activision Publishing, Inc. revealed new in-game DLC it is offering for those who pre-order TRANSFORMERS: Devastation, its upcoming third-person brawler from acclaimed action developer PlatinumGames Inc. All retail and digital pre-orders of TRANSFORMERS: Devastation will receive the following three character skins: NEMESIS PRIME, RED ALERT and GOLDFIRE.

Players will also receive three powerful weapons with their pre-order:

The Dark Star Saber, a fearsome sword which radiates waves of dark energy with every swing.
The Photon Disruptor cannon for huge damage at short range.
The twin Golden Hunter blaster pistols, which cause enemies to drop credits when attacked.

Activision also released a new behind-the-scenes video with the legendary voice of OPTIMUS PRIME, Peter Cullen. TRANSFORMERS: Devastation brings a new energy to Hasbro’s iconic Generations characters, but for Cullen, honoring the qualities that have made OPTIMUS PRIME a hero for audiences for over 30 years is still at the core of this new experience.

TRANSFORMERS: Devastation combines PlatinumGames’ magnetic brand of fast-paced gameplay with beautiful 3D cel-shading for one gripping adventure. Five playable AUTOBOT heroes - OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE, SIDESWIPE, WHEELJACK and GRIMLOCK – will battle MEGATRON and the vile DECEPTICONS in an original story from veteran TRANSFORMERS comic book writer Andy Schmidt.

TRANSFORMERS: Devastation is scheduled to launch on Oct. 6 on the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Windows PC via Steam. Pre-orders for the game are already available at many major retailers and on the PlayStation®Store; Xbox Games Store pre-orders are expected to open in early September.

But *where* to preorder it to get the bonus DLC?

I'm gonna buy it day one for sure, but I just wanna make sure I get it in the right place to get the best value for my cash.

The Amazon.co.uk and GAME.co.uk listings don't say anything about a preorder bonus.

I wonder if the Nemesis, Goldbug & Red Alert pack will actually make it to europe.
