    I am in search for walkthrough videos of this game. Judging by the trailers, it looks as if its got one hell of a prequel

    I see your point. It goes to show you that simple can be effective and it too is my favourite combat system to date.

    The problem with HMS is that sure they love Transformers - that's cool. They focused on a good story and characters but simply mimicked every other TPS on the market. They didn't put much effort into actually creating a fighting/shooter system that reflected Transformers. ROTF did this but WfC didn't.

    The Mixmaster boss battle was pretty intense. Ironhide takes him out like a badass as well.

    Also holy shit I'm playing as Mirage right now.

    Does this game have 3D TV support by chance? I doubt it but am hoping it does when I pick my copy up soon.

    Holy fuck, I just noticed: Mirage DOES have a melee combo. Huh. I'll have to go back and see if Bumblebee or Ironhide do as well.

    Also,
    apparently the Mayans built temples on top of Decepticon structures. Interesting.

    Agreed. They seem to have a lot of enthusiasm for the property, but they've completely ignored the kind of incredible feats we're used to seeing the bots perform in the films. As much as I've enjoyed WFC, I don't like the idea of the franchise being crammed into a simple shooter mechanic with some transformation thrown in.

    Yeah? Do you still have to click the right stick to melee like in WFC? Seems like an awkard place to have the melee button if you can actually combo.

    Yeah, you basically have to mash the joystick to make it happen. There might be other control schemes though, haven't really looked.

    The damn transformation invincibility is still present. Just melee'd a dude about five times as he was transforming, and nothing happened. High Moon REALLY needs to fix this.

    For those who have played it - does it feel like a movie skinned WFC or is there anything significantly different (good or bad)?

    EDIT - so far the consensus is "movie skinned WFC".

    Did you not read the part where he said he has to go back and try it with Bumblebee and Ironhide? He only realized it when playing as Mirage.

    Soundwave has different melee attack styles (I think), but not a melee combo. It's probably just Mirage, since he uses his arm blades.

    If anything, he's probably meant to be a melee type fighter.

    He DOES have huge arm blades.

    Gotta be honest, driving/flying seems a little more awkward, especially in Laserbeak's section.

    Oh, ans I dunno if it's just my controller, but sometimes I have to press the reload button a few times in order to actually get it to work.
