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.

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.

It's in the big 4.
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...

Oh the DLC. You may wanna look a little more into that. I've seen that they are on the digital version via the PSN and Amazon seems to be offering it for all console versions for physical media. I checked a few other online retailers and they are not offering the DLC at all as of yet.
I've found it rare that DLC stays exclusive for long or even exclusive just to preorders. But of course there is no gaurantee on that.
I'm not a big fan of playing Platinum games. They are fun to watch, but I like games with a bit more meat to them. The more I see of this game the less I'm interested.
Them transformations do look badass. Hopefully a demo will drop before release. But then again I rarely buy games at release for full price.

Na it's probably because of "licensing issues."

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.

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.

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.

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.

Peter Cullen feels that all Optimus Primes he voices embody the same principles, including the movie version, even though he has objected a few times to having to say certain lines in the movies (i.e. - "We will kill them all." "I'll kill you!" "Autobots, I have sworn to never kill humans. But when I find out who’s behind this, he’s going to die!"). To Peter Cullen, his Optimus Prime has never changed between the 1980's and today's media.MegaDump wrote:Translation: "I'm glad to be voicing an Optimus Prime whose personality is more in-line with the original character, possessing the values that made him such an inspiration to generations of fans rather than the morally ambiguous death-machine seen in the movies."
Yeah, I went there.

Peter Cullen is a good man and a great voice actor. I feel he would object to anything he felt was outside the Optimus Prime he knows in his heart. And what Sabr said proves it
