    Is that worth 60 bucks to you?

    Is that even worth $20?

    Don't worry - chances are whatever occurs in this game wont affect the movie-verse. It seems like this 'dark spark' will be destroyed at the end thus resetting everything back to before the game took place in order to keep the timeline in check.

    Chances are if they plan on doing a strict FOC sequel then they will do so anyway - though I think this is their way of ending the WFC/FOC series by having both Cybertron and Earth in the balance.

    No problem :3

    Stripped of anything that might make him unique, this is the first time that movie Drift in any way looks like a robotic life form from another world; and not like just a dude.

    Looks like crap 0/10 would not play.

    ...But I'll buy it anyway, won't I?

    High Moon are apparently developing a new Gen game that is rumoured to be the FOC sequel, honestly i think this a way to premote AoE while giving us Cybertron fans the FOC/WFC Chracters as well to keep them fresh in our minds for the sequel. So we still get a game that can kinda be a sequel without officially being one.

    Because Optimus is talking about Aligned or... WFC/FOC Megatron. He's in that, not in AOE's universe atm. TFWiki explains so. From what I heard, AOE's storyline is supposed to take part either before or after the movie.

    Dorifturu-kun! You look damn weird with that gun, yet your face looks pretty good for a High Noon game.

    Except for the fact that he's made of metal and has robot bits for a body?

    Why bother making Drift a playable character if he's going to play like the rest of them? I mean I know it'd be hard to make a melee mechanic in the game in a short space of time, but it just looks goofy seeing a samurai robit shoot guns.

    This is quite obviously the premise if the game: the WFC/FOC universe is the current TF console game universe so they just thought they'd integrate the AOE game into that rather than basing it on the movie's storyline itself. Given the 'two worlds' concept and how the movies aren't part of the aligned continuity, it clearly isn't a direct sequel to FOC but just something that just uses that 'generation' without fitting into it in a linear way.

    I hope we get the same customization system FOC had. I think the movie's style would work better with it, since the designs are more complex and less reliant on large, unique pieces, the parts should flow together better.

    You know, it would be cool if there was an Aligned Lockdown. Although I bet this game doesn't have any concept artists, except perhaps for Earth maps and some minor things relating to the plot.
    Something that bothers me as well is all the AOE characters look like shit. They're modeled so they look good from about a single angle and look terrible from another. Bumblebee's head shape and forearm design are awkward, Drift's proportions are godawful, and Prime and Grimlock look super cartoony.

    Oh, right. Derp.
    I thought it took place after the movie because Prime doesn't have that design before the movie.
    I think about playing as Evasion Optimus, get excited, and then remember absolutely no movie game has accurately captured the awesome feel of that design.

    "Only one will survive."

    Please let FOC kick Bayverse like Godzilla Final Wars!

    Yeah, nope. Sorry. The car-hood chest and tires are trying, really. By god are they trying. But his face. I can't. I just can't. He is straight up dude in samurai helm. AND ITS SOOOO POWERFUL.

    Movie Drift is a tall blue man.

    Slightly pleased by the fact we might get to play as Bruticus, though the select few minutes we got as him were hella awesome. Less is more, you know?

    Drift looks okay, unsurprisingly he's only using a gun, and his melee will be one hit only, despite the fact his character is one that appears to emphasize on melee combat over firepower.

    The fact that they're reusing Bruticus as the "money shot" of the trailer as FOC already did before it doesn't lend optimism to this game's case. But what the hell. It's obvious not a lot of effort is going into this from the start.

    Glad to FINALLY see some Drift, even if it is not from the movie footage.
