There's no spoilers, it's him shooting a gun and stabbing a dude.

Besides, at this point, it's looking like there won't even be any Decepticons in the movie anyway.

Because you guys forgot about the garbage truck Junkheap who is also a returning character

Prove to me right now that the garbage truck we saw in the filming video is the exact same person as the garbage truck Decepticon who appeared in DOTM. Prove to me right now that "Junkheap" is the name of the DOTM guy and not anything else.
Don't give me hearsay or speculation or coincidences. I want hard facts and official confirmations from the filmmakers and companies in charges.
Otherwise, stop shooting down possibilities that you don't want to consider just because you don't like the sound of them. Wait and see what the film says before invoking any absolutes.

First of all....rude
second of all they are pretty much the same type of garbage truck
look at the toy you can see the upside down long haul head i will highlight it
And dude i'm allowed to have my opinion unless proven otherwise
and when did i say i did not like the sound of them?
are you trying to start crap?

Look at Blackout and Grindor, for instance.
Or even Long Haul and Igor.
As is anyone else. Yet every time the idea of the film having no Decepticons is brought into consideration, you tend to come to silence it.mirageandjazz1197 wrote:And dude i'm allowed to have my opinion unless proven otherwise
Why can't this idea be explored?
Well, that's the impression that's usually made from anyone who tries to oppose another's viewpoint. If you do not feel any distaste towards the idea then I apologize.mirageandjazz1197 wrote:and when did i say i did not like the sound of them?
But then that does beg the question of why you seem to override it each time it's mentioned.

Heck, this design even looks a bit like the Matrix of Conquest with some of the spikes folded in.

Not when Unicron's spark is inside the Earth's core at the time that this game takes place.Farmer Thompson wrote:I'm wondering... Could it in-fact be like how the Matrix is Primus' fragment, the Dark Spark is Aligned Continutity Unicron's? Would be a nice set-up to a TRUE sequel to FoC.

Finally some explanation to Dark Energon and going deeper into this stuff other than saying it's just Unicron's blood.
Really looking forward to this game.

What more needs to be explained beyond it being Unicron's equivalent of energon?budmaloney wrote:That looks beautiful

Plenty has already been explored about Dark Energon in all the fiction we've gotten about it.

it was in the decepticon campaign in war for cybertron. starscream claimed that it would destroy him but he survived a very unhealthy dose of dark energon. im making a guess here but i think it might be safe to say that if he can survive the essence of unicron i think he can handle the dark spark pretty well

- * Gameplay seems similar to the Transformers mobile game, Transformers: G1 Awakening, in which characters move around on a 2D landscape, and switches to 3D during battles between characters.
* Each character has seven different attacks of varying strength, each one needing an escalating number of points to use.
* Points are earned by a character each turn, with bonus points awarded for blocking enemy attacks.
* Part of the strategy sounds set to revolve around picking whether to employ low-level attacks to harass enemies, or to take a few rounds to stock some points to bring out a more powerful attack.
* Each character has a character-specific super move, which is activated by using a specific amount of Energon, limited for each mission, so strategizing when to use these moves are paramount. An example of this is Optimus Prime's Vanguard ability, which makes enemies focus on Optimus to give other allies time to withdraw or regroup.

I wouldn't get a 3ds for this game. If you want a Turn based strategy game, get the 3ds for Fire Emblem:Awakening, not this. A transformers TBS on the 3ds is a waste of potential.

Uncontrolable_myosin wrote:The 3DS is capable of a much more exciting and fast-paced game. kinda disappointed :/
I know right? The DS could handle 3rd person and first person shooters and the 3ds does those even better. Why not a shooter? It could be because most people aren't conformtable playing shooters with the 3ds without an additional circle pad and i'm sure no one will go out of their way to get that and a 3ds just for this game. I won't even do that. We can look at KidIcarus:Uprising and the wide criticism it received for awkward controls. I know you weren't specifically meaning a shooter, but that's really the only other genre I can see this game as (and prefer it to be). What would you rather it be?
Am I the only one who thinks the 3ds can handle better graphics than this?

No. The graphics on this are first-generation-DS quality at best. It looks more like a cheap iPhone/Android app than an actual video game.

I'm not sure. The graphics in MGS3d and KI:U looked better than this. Maybe it's the size of pic.

Did they use Megatron's soundclips for Grimlock?

Not bothered by the re-use of FOC models/anims. Hopefully they focus on the gameplay and not some high graphics standard set by the new-gen consoles.
End of this month, game time!

Reuse of models isn't a big deal to me. I imagine they did try to optimize it for next gen/ PC.
