Am I the only one who's happy Grimlock can use guns now? Also looks like he might get to change at will rather than having to "hulk-out"

Did they use Megatron's soundclips for Grimlock?

So AoE Grim re-uses FoC Grim's playstyle/animations while FoC Grimlock plays like a normal person?

Looks like it,

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.

I'm probably not getting the game but I'm happy to finally see some form of AOE Grimlock's robot mode other than the toy. Hopefully it's a good enough representation of what to expect should he transform in the movie. AOE Grimlock's head looks a bit different from the figure though. Looks like he has some kind of visor.

Still standing by my resolution: no competitive multiplayer with customization, no immediate buy from me.

I'm not happy by no competitive MP, but I always get TF games day 1, gotta keep up the tradition.

And that's fine. Normally, I'd try to get it myself. But this year's a little different for me. My finances aren't as stable as they were a year ago. I know I'll get it one day, but 24 June isn't going to be that day.

Ah finances are the killer, at least on PS3, 360, and PC it's only 49.99.

Okay, so if FOC Grimlock is in this in his dino body... then I honestly don't see how the FOC parts of this game could possibly fit seamlessly into the story of the actual FOC video game.

Until now, I was thinking it could fit after Megatron's resurrection but before the launch of the two starships, yet Grimlock's dino body activities in the FOC game were so tightly-knit and time-constrained that I honestly now cannot see any way to possibly squeeze RotDS's FOC parts into the main game.

RotDS looks like it'll have to be considered its own separate continuity from the main WFC/FOC games continuity, but still inspired by the continuity of those game.

What's up with AOE Grimlock's face? It's a completely different from what we've seen on the toys.

Once I saw the gameplay of Grimlock I had the same question.

But so far all of the WFC/FOC characters have been on Cybertron. And remember that Grimlock didn't get on the shuttle at the end of FOC. So as long as FOC Grimlock's gameplay stuff happens AFTER the shuttle leaves, there's a chance it might still fit.

I know it's been said that this is all supposed to happen before FOC, but that's all I've got.

Unless there's time travel involved, which I really hope isn't the case . . .

Isn't this the same DLC pack that comes with preordering the game from GameStop?

Yessir. Not a lick of difference, other than it being for PC.

Based on how Skywarp and Thundercracker acted in the WFC game I can't help but think that they reversed the character readouts, since Thundercracker was more of a scientist and Skywarp a warrior.

I may end up getting the game for PC since it's only 49.99, and in Canada every other platform has raised it's prices because of the Canadian dollar failing (new games are 69.99 instead of 59.99.) While Steam hasn't changed it's prices because of the dollar failing.
