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.

Knowing Platinum, the Prime difficulty and the Challenge mode is going to be brutally tough.

I always thought it was weird how the conehead seekers had GIANT WINGS ON THEIR LEGS.

It was done a means to further differentiate them from the first three Seekers.

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).

I.. am.. so.. excited about this!

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.

I really can't wait for this game but my one misgiving is the awful background music.

It's nice to see Soundwave included in the cast but could barely hear his voice with that awful soundtrack.

Nice to see them give him his robotic monotone though it's not as good as his original voice.

I pre-ordered my copy today as well. I was a bit iffy about it at 1st, but thought "what the hell." I'm actually waiting for the Challenge Mode the most, but it looks like this game will be fun no matter what. Too bad we can't play as 'Cons.

So after reading on the website about the features of the game I think Im starting to feel a little bummed. Theres only 5 playable characters and its says "Play again and again with 5 levels of difficulty", but really though...once Ive been through the cycle a few dozen times Im kinda done with it if there is nothing more to keep working for, ...no endgame content. It sounds like its going to be a real quick "play it for a few weeks then get tired of it and put it back on the shelf" kind of game. I still cant wait and am looking forward to it no doubt but I dont feel like there is much to the game to do thereafter. Not even any online MP or even PVP.

This is basically an entire review of the game. Not quite, but kinda, and on some fanboy-ish ****. Which isn't bad, just maybe a bit too subjective than some people would like.

I like what I'm seeing, but I do hope it's not all fighting. They say there are 5 characters to play as, but do we get to choose, or does the game choose for us, based on the level we're on? I'd love it if it was like the Armada game, where we choose a character and can play every level as that character on every difficulty.

Methinks they've overlooked the Japanese PS2 G1 game that had 38 playable G1 characters (19 Autobots and 19 Decepticons).

It sucked, yeah, but it still counts as a G1 game (one that's even based on the cartoon's continuity at that).

Just five more days.

Grimlock trailer.

Grimlock sure sounds smarter in this one. Like he's intelligent enough for speaking properly but is intentionally trying to speak like a caveman but not with much effort, instead of naturally sounding dumb and dim like he did in the G1 cartoon. It gives me more of a feeling like his Marvel Comics version when that Grimlock decided to start speaking dumber on purpose, only this time without the bombastic aggression Marvel Grimlock felt towards everyone else.

And he waddles in dino mode. It's cute.

With only a couple of days left to the release of the Activision/Platinum Games Transformers: Devastation game, the official Facebook page has been uploading slews of screenshots and concept art. From the latter, cassettes such as Ravage and Laserbeak have made an appearance (mirrored below!), and the screenshots all lead to the new trailer featuring Grimlock himself, in all his G1 glory, Gregg Berger included - check it all out below!

Again, I know it's Gregg Berger, but it sounds so much like Hal Rayle's Snarl to me.

Maybe I haven't heard enough modern Gregg Berger to tell.

Look up FoC Grimlock. That is Gregg Berger's voice, and it actually sounds very badass
