I mean, sure, if you want to play a buggy, unfinished game, they can release it months ahead of schedule. But I can guarantee you don't want that.

I don't give two F's how they're made! All I know is we're being teased with all these titbits but yet the game's still months away from release! It just feels like they're jerking us around! YES I understand that we don't want a half assed unfinished game nor a rushed completed one that could turn out to be crap! + I don't recall any other of the previous TF Games teasing us for this long....before the actual games release.

You should. Then you'd see the folly in whining for them to release it quicker.

So you'd rather they go dark and tell us nothing until launch?

That's how the hell marketing works. You don't like it? Too bad.

That's literally been the entire basis the developers had for the game's designs. G1 and the universe/Classics/Generations lines.
Anyway, this Xbox website just released the names of all the Trophies (PS4) and Achievements (Xbox One) in the game.

Here is a hint he has worked with Galvatron in the comics
I have a bigger image of his design but not sure if I should post it if any one minds spoilers.

If it's a secret final boss, how do you know about it months before the game was released?

Xbox usually posts a list of game achievements a few weeks before the games come out including the achievement's pictures
One of these photos confirm a certain antagonist or at least his design.
It's IDW Nova Prime based on combiner wars Optimus design
Edit: also shows designs of other characters such as Megatron and confirms his tank mode and how Offroad replaces Wildrider for Menasor who is also in the game.

Right but...how do you know he's a secret final boss? Those don't even resemble typical achievement icons, they look like concept and character art being used as placeholders. And also, how do you know he's a secret final boss, based solely on the fact that character art that kinda sorta looks like him shows up there?

Jackpot! Thanks for the link. These model sheets look amazing!
Optimus Prime (with round tankers here); Sideswipe (cannon on other shoulder); Grimlock; Starscream (larger cannons); Soundwave & the Cassettes; Blitzwing; and Shockwave are all faithful to the cartoon, pretty much.
Wheeljack too, with a handful of new added details, most notably the piece on his back.
Bumbleebe, Megatron and Menasor have some new design elements inspired by the toys, but modeled in the "Sunbow" style to fit in with the others.

No! but they could've done the campaign for it a lot closer to the games release date! rather than waaay too soon.
As I said before....it just feels like the release of this is taking forever.
But obviously I'm ranting AFTER the fact! as they're already running the campaign, so anything I say on the matter is obsolete.

He's probably going to be the one behind it all.

There is that one achievement for headshots so there seems to be more variety to the game than just button mashing enemies to death like we've seen in the videos. Looks like there's a race as well.

That Nova Prime looks conspicuously like CW Optimus Prime. Look at the arms and legs

Heh, I bet you that a 3'd party company will make a set of thigh extenders and a chest/head/backpack assembly to fix that.

That's great.
Wanted new playable characters but this is fine too.
And Red Alert's head is black and not cartoon accurate red.

And the inclusion of the Dark Star Saber from Prime looks to be the first real non-G1 element in this game.

I already want a sequel with Rodimus Prime. Though I'd have loved to see Prowl and Ironhide in this.
Posted by Sabrblade on August 27th, 2015 @ 7:45am CDT
It seems more like that one will just get to play as Optimus wearing Nemesis's colors, instead of Nemesis himself being a character in this game.Windsweeper wrote:I can't wait for this game. Nice to see Nemesis get done screen time.

What's exclusive to Destiny? I own the game on PS4, but I can't pull myself away from D3 long enough to lvl my Hunter.

There's a couple of Strikes and a handful of weapons (notably the Exotic weapon Hawkmoon) that are exclusive to Playstation consoles.
If these bonuses are on both Xbox and Playstation consoles, that makes me feel a lot better. Guess I ought to look into this game...
