I'm getting sick of all this carrot on a stick stuff! That's the trouble with things like this....it's always just out of our reach! JUST RELEASE THE BLOODY GAME ALREADY!!! instead of us having to wait months.

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 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.

Yes the achievements spoil a secret final boss.

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.

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.

We have some additional news today on the upcoming Activision Transformers: Devastation, thanks to Seibertron.com user SlyTF1 and their findings over on XBoxAchievements. It looks like the full list of Trophies (PS4) and Achievements (XBox) has been posted to the site, revealing a grand total of 30, between regular and secret. We've mirrored some screenshots below, but head over here to take a look for yourselves - and be warned, some spoil later bosses and opponents!

The achievements are all bog standard and the characters are all the obvious G1 cartoon guys, everything's looking exactly as you'd expect them.... and then there's Nova Prime.

What tells me he's just going to be a sequel hook?

I'm hoping the combat isn't as cookie cutter as the trailers are making it out to be. Grimlock seems slightly slower, mainly because his Dino mode hasn't got wheels. But the others all look a bit samey.

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.

As intriguing as that is, I'd imagine that recent(/upcoming?) White Optimus would've just been straight-up Nova Prime if they actually had any plans for him...

This may be old news, but I just noticed the pre-orders went up on the PSN today for $49.99. Looks like the same for Amazon/Gamestop and so on. Same price for all console versions.

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.

And Red Alert's head is black and not cartoon accurate red.

So, Nemesis Prime's rocking TF:Prime Megatron's sword, Goldbug's dual wielding Magnus rifles, anyone recognize the gun Red Alert is holding?

Re: New Transformers: Devastation Bio - Wheeljack (1721151)
Posted by Sabrblade on August 26th, 2015 @ 10:05pm CDT

Those Gold Hunter Weapon guns that that Goldfire skin is wielding are yellow versions of G1 Ultra Magnus's gun.

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

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.

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...
