Are there any characters in the game who should've been playable from the beginning but inexplicably aren't?

That's who'll be DLC.

 

Like I said in another thread. I read on a different forum that someone at E3 asked HM about DLC and they said there are no plans. So don't get your hopes up guys.

 

I expect Ratchet and Sideswipe (and were there other pre-order characters?) to be in the DLC when it hits. That's what they did with the DLC in WFC - they added all the pre-order characters.

Other than that, I expect extra maps, and maybe some campaign characters that are not playable in multiplayer.

I don't expect whole new chapters of campaign though.

 

i want Jolt, Sentinel Prime, Blackout, and Wheeljack (if he isnt playable in the orignal game)

 

As far as I'm aware, Ratchet is unlockable for MP on completion of the campaign (or a specific mission), as is Shockwave.

So, whatever grievances people have with Activision's money-grabbing, I doubt even they would go so far as to charge you for DLC that can be unlocked through gameplay!

Its not a stone's throw from charging you for content already on the disc (which they will most likely do) but there is a difference, however slight!

 

TF1 says hi.

 

I HIGHLY doubt that any DLC (if any) can live up to the awesomeness of ROTF's DLC.

I wish that another studio makes a TF game with combat similar to ROTF set in the movie-verse with many characters. And they can bee mega creative with the game modes like Halo Reach (which I recently started playing and the game modes are ridiculous but uber-fun). We have 3 player co-op in this one.

Here's an idea for a game mode - 3 players vs Devastator and the only way to beat him is to blow off his limbs and take them out with they transform into robot mode. I'm just spit-balling.

 

I actually can't think of any in-game characters besides Sideswipe (available through pre-order) who aren't playable.

We need Jetfire as DLC.

 

cough,mixmaster,cough,cough

 

Okay, I don't have the game yet, but I have an idea of who's playable in the game so here's my idea of it. As well as these characters, I'm sure a couple of more maps couldn't hurt, despite me not knowing what maps there are yet.

Autobots

Sideswipe
Roadbuster
Leadfoot
Topspin
Jazz
Jetfire
Jolt
Skids
Mudflap
Wheeljack
Sentinel Prime

Decepticons

Shockwave Alt Mode/Flight Mode (Like G1/Flight Megatron from the ROTF Game.)
Barricade
Sideways
Blackout/Grindor
Satellite Soundwave
Crankcase
Jet Megatron
Brawl
Bonecrusher

 

Shouldn't this have a poll?

 

Never played Split Lip, was not back in the TF groove at that stage... enlighten me if you will?

 

I think the DLC only have 5 characters and 3 or 4 maps ( because the WFC DLC´S have this characters and maps )
Don´t dream  

 

Every unlockable in the game was available for 500 MS points on xbox, or you could save your money and just unlock them.

He's kinda huge, I doubt he'd be able to be played as. He wouldn't fit on the maps.

Mixmaster wasn't a character, he was a scripted boss.

 

Im not expecting they will put out DLC, Im thinking this might be a 'fire and forget' release with the rest of the team going to work on WFC2.

That said, if there is a DLC pack or two I'd like to see them even out the factions to 3 per class, per faction, excluding Warriors because tanks dont come often for movieverse autobots.

Scout:
- Sideswipe
- Sideways
- Lockdown

Hunter:
- Silverbolt
- Air Raid
- Dreadwing
- Terradive

Commander:
- Mixmaster (scaled down)

Warrior:
- Guzzle
- Shockwave (with vehicle mode, trade-off is weaker primary weapon and melee in robot mode)

Of those the only one even possible would be a Sideswipe unlock code.
But hey, pipedreams are awesome.

 

Christ that is bad... well then, expect Shockwave and Ratchet as part of any DLC pack then (add in Sideswipe and it starts to look very like WFC's 1st DLC offering)

I'm thinking they could just scale him down as he should be of a similar size to the already included movie scale 35' Megatron and 32' Starscream.
If they nerfed his speed (lets pretend he is actually carrying a load of cement   ) and mobilized his cannon mode for Stealth Force, then I think he'd make a pretty good Warrior class option.
All that being said, his actions/moves within the game (from the video I've seen of his battle) would not lend themselves to a playable character, so some work would need to go into his controls/animations as a playable character... which makes it less likely he'd be included.


If I could have one character made available for DLC, I'd have to plum for the beast that is Longhaul - a fantastic movie design and he'd be up for doing some serious damage.

 

But there is a bit of a problem with that idea. Warrior/Tanks don't use Stealth Force. Maybe the turret-mode could be his body models ability.

 

ah right, I wasn't aware of that... so Warriors can't strafe etc in vehicle mode? I suppose that slightly excuses the lack of a Shockwave alt mode, seeing as he is not missing out on the extra mobility+threat that Stealth Force seemingly offers.

So that would rule out any idea for a normally non-weaponized vehicle being a Warrior then.

 

What we have already:

Bumblebee, Mirage awell as Crowbar for Scouts
Breakaway aswell as Starscream for Hunters
Optimus Prime, Ratchet and Ironhide aswell as Megatron and Soundwave for Commanders
Warpath aswell as Megatron for Warriors

So this is what I think we'd see:

Barricade, Sideswipe and Wheeljack for Scouts
Blackout for Hunters
Brawl for Warriors

I have to say you guys, High Moon really screwed us out of potential DLC and a FANTASTIC game. I mean, what were they thinking? There are NO Autobot Jets or Tanks in the movie. This was a horrible way to do things for a Movie adaption.

 

Sideswipe is already in...if you preordered.

Ratchet is in the truck category if you complete the campaign.


Chassis that I want for Multiplayer would be,

Sideways and Barricade for the Decepticon cars.

Air Raid, Silverbolt (the F-16 and F-18 guys from the Starscream level). Blackout/Grindor and 2007 movie Megatron for the Aircraft.

Crankcase or Bonecrusher for the trucks. Mixmaster would work too since the "Granite" Mack truck would not be too much bigger than Megatron's

Guzzle and Flak from the cyberverse line for the Autobot tanks. Shockwave's alt mode and Brawl for the last of the Decepticon tanks.

As for a level for Multiplayer, I think a good one would be a highway overpass and road section. Think of Optimus vs Bonecrusher in 2007.
