I loved that version of Blitzwing so much better than the G1, so much personality!

YES! Animated Blitzwing was just brilliant!

I love that they got the original voice actors for Prime, Megatron, Sideswipe and Grimlock.
Only thing I'm not liking is the music.

To celebrate National Video Game day, we’re showing off some of Blitzwing’s moves. He’s definitely a worthy opponent.
Transformers: Devastation hits shelves on October 6th.

Yeah, but can we really be impressed by the whole "Got back the original/most iconic voice cast" thing anymore? Especially since Peter Cullen is basically the only guy who voices Optimus anymore.

Peter Cullen should be the ONLY guy EVER to voice Optimus Prime. If he dies, then this guy should:
This guy, who also does Honest Trailers, does an AMAZING Optimus Prime voice.

He'd have to. From what I understand, Peter Cullen has an "over my dead body" policy regarding Jon officially voicing Optimus. Something about how he's not down with other people mimicking him that closely and getting paid for it.

Yeah I kinda understand ol Peter Cullen. It's just such an iconic voice that I don't want to see go.

Well, when's the last time we had something post-G1 get all of the these guys back together at once to work on the same TF project? Prime had Cullen and Welker, but not Gilvezan, Berger, or Bell. FOC had Cullen and Berger, but not the other three. Rescue Bots has had Cullen and Bell, but not the other three. This is the first time in a very long time to have all five of these men doing official Transformers voice work together.Shadowman wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And Bumblebee.Windsweeper wrote:I love that they got the original voice actors for Prime, Megatron, Sideswipe and Grimlock.

If one likes the G1 voice actors and has been wanting to see them get back together to reprise their original TF roles all at once in some official capacity (which has not happened since the 1980s), then why wouldn't one (not necessarily YOU, but one who fits that description) be impressed?Shadowman wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Well, when's the last time we had something post-G1 get all of the these guys back together at once to work on the same TF project?

I myself don't quite fall into this category of fan, but I do recognize how getting back five of the originals to return to perform their original roles after all these years of such never happening in over two decades is at least somewhat impressive.
They could have just gotten any modern VAs to do the work and, aside from Peter Cullen, most folks would have expected the gamemakers to have done that. But instead, they went the extra mile of getting the guys who vocally pioneered these characters just as Peter Cullen did for Optimus. That shows how much care was put into the vocals of the game, and a company showing that they truly do care about their work and doing their job better than they had to is at least somewhat commendable.
What is it that you find so alien about the idea of people giving praise to the game for its bringing back an exceptional number of familiar voices from the cartoon that said game takes so much influence from and said people remember and cherish to this day?

If he's reading this I'D be blushing. He does cameos on the Nostalgia Critic's videos sometimes. He's the one who gave the T-Rex on NC's Jurassic World review Optimus Prime's voice.
Here's the review featuring Jon Bailey.
I think this game would be fun to watch someone play on Youtube, but I don't really play many games anymore, and this is not a game I would be drooling to get. I do think the character models look AMAZING, but that's about it.

Did they get Corey Burton back to voice Shockwave?
Posted by Sabrblade on September 13th, 2015 @ 3:34pm CDT
No word's been said yet. With all the known characters that are in this game, very few have had their voice actors officially revealed yet.Shadowman wrote:Did they get Corey Burton back to voice Shockwave?
Megatron and Soundwave are the only Decepticons to have their voice actor confirmed so far.

Side question: Who would you (anyone) pick as the voice for this game's Starscream? Sam Riegel? Charlie Adler? Michael Dobson? Steve Blum?

I like Steve Blum's, but I'm also somewhat partial to Sam Riegel's. Maybe I just love the oily way he says "Am I not supremely sleek?"

If they're trying to get it as close to G1 as possible, it'd be Tom Kenny.

Unless there's some other VA out there who could match Chris Latta's Screamer even closer.
Though, from what little we've heard in the game videos, I don't really like the voice they got for Wheeljack.

I actually kinda like his voice on that video, way better than classic whiny G1 Starscream.

I agree that he does kinda sound more like G1 Shrapnel. It might even be Hal Rayle himself doing this voice.

I've stopped following any news on this game, but Soundwave pulled me back in. I watched the video and his combat looked player controlled or at least very similar.
The setting had a very one on one battle arena vibe to it. Has it be announced if there will be an arena/battle/boss rush mode where you can play as 'Cons too? The last I read there was only 5 playable 'Bots.

There's a challenge mode, but no Decepticons.

It was done a means to further differentiate them from the first three Seekers.SillySpringer wrote:I always thought it was weird how the conehead seekers had GIANT WINGS ON THEIR LEGS.
After all, the legs are where the wings on the G1 Seeker toy mold wound up in robot mode anyway. The animation model for the first trio just repositioned them to be higher up on the body, while the Conehead models kept the wings in their toy-accurate locations (and invented the alternate robot head transformation of the Conehead since their toys were meant to be transformed just like the first three with the nosecones folded down and back instead of left pointing upward).

These are tough months moneywise for me. First having bought an expensive gaming notebook, having spent some money on vacation and now all the good games are coming out. Finally had the opportunity today to pre-order this at last.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Star Wars Battlefront, Fallout 4.. they can all wait. Devastation is #1 on my wishlist.
