At first I must scream WARPATH! LASERBEAK! BREAKAWAY! MIXMASTER! AERIALBOT! EARTH SOUNDWAVE!
Now that's out of my system, I can say that this looks quite different to ROTF, and much more similar to WFC (obviously with the developer and all). This is a real shame because the ROTF multiplayer, I felt, was innovative, high-pace and generally kick-ass, whilst WFC's multiplayer was lackluster, at least in my opinion. Could be interesting though - I enjoy shoulder-shooters like WFC, Ghostbusters and Resi 4.
Did anyone else spot Ironhide's hover mode? Seems cool but I think High Moon are trying to make it too much like WFC.

This game is a massive chocolate cake...
I WANT IT NOW!!!
Seriously when does it come out again?
I was to busy having a nerd-gasm to see the release date.

But...WARPATH!!!! This is starting to fit into my theory that the last figures of Generations before DOTM are secret teasers to DOTM characters. Wheeljack is rumored, we've seen TC's DOTM toy, Warpath is in the video game. Hmm...
Soundwave appears to have an earth mode here. Can't wait to see what it is.
I must of missed the Breakaway jet somewhere in the video...could it be Air Raid who we've seen pictures of?
And Optimus is holding an interesting saw weapon at the end.

Warpath = win. Hope he gets a figure.

This game looks awesome and may be the first transformers game I purchase on its first day of release.
Throw in some g1 skins and I'd be super happy.

...Still not thrilled about all the WfC stuff though. Megs uses Drain at 1:00, someone else mentioned Ironhide strafing...eh.
I want to play a MOVIE game. Not WfC with Movie characters. I get enough of that from WfC, and hopefully WfC 2 (I would be amused if #2 was further away from the first than this game is, ha hah!).
And whoever mentioned the graphics...the textures are not terribly impressive, are they? The character models look fine to me. The object/terrain, again, not so much. Ratchet's green is going to take some getting used to. It's so bright here.

The game/plot is supposed to come before DoTM, so I assume he hasn't picked an earth mode yet. He's got a fat unmatching replacement arm too. At least in those screenshots we saw a while ago.

Yeah, I remember reading that but I figured the fight at the end of ROTF would be the reason why Megatron's face was baddly scared. I guess I was wrong. He looked pretty healthy in that trailer.

Looking back at the game trailer closely, you can clearly see a chunk of his head kinda missing. I think his face is still scarred. Maybe they'll make it more prominent when they make the finishing touches on the game.

Warpath in DOTM?
I honestly cant say either way. I see similarities and differences.

I thinking those chains around his torso holds that tarp that doubles as his cloak... I guess we'll see.

On another note...why do some folks seem upset that Laserbeak could have any resemblence to a Zoid? G1 Ravage and the Lightning Saix had VERY similar head designs (granted the time of designing was reversed in that case - the Saix would've come second), and comparable bodies considering. But is it a problem? Zoids are mostly based on creatures, and Ravage and Laserbeak are also based on creatures, so...shouldn't there be some sort of resemblence, just from looking like a certain type of animal [robot] (IE a cat or bird or dragon, whatever)?

I personally think Zoids are killer, well, a lot of them. in fact, liger, or something (i forget the name) could make a killer ravage in a lot of cases. Buuuuuttt this doesn't really look like any GOOD sort of zoid... its too soft and blunt on the edges (since the movie design promotes sharpness, and toys don't), so it looks pretty cruddy so far. Zoids are sick, especially the newer ones, the weapon armaments and detailing on some are fantastic. I used to have the bronchiosaurus way back when in 1998, they've come a long way since then.

Well, I would do that if I could - but all my Zoids are in their boxes atm. :/
So for any folks who don't know these guys, imagine this:
http://zoids.wikia.com/wiki/Flyscissors
with the head (and guns, if you like) of this:
http://zoids.wikia.com/wiki/Buster_Eagle
Which is feasible since these are the type of Zoids which are made with "combining" and mixing & matching as their gimmick.
Oh wait...if the Buster Eagle's wings weren't hollow like that, that would work....Add a few more blocks in the neck, add a tail...move the guns on the wings. Hmm.
