The 1st Game had Scattershot From Transformers Cybertron / Not Scattershot from the Technobots and Barricade from the Movies not Barricade from the Micromaster Squad.
I also not that WFC Breakdown is a Stunticon and nothing to do with Knockout's friend.
Also Arcee is a pink car – so when people say the games and prime are the same I tend to give a "Wha' you talkin' 'bout Willis" look and think… nah the game was more a 'Best Of Transformers' with a strong lean towards G1. I always saw the game as just a different take on MTMTE part 1/Arrival from Cybertron or
If they now are leaning towards Prime that is a bit odd, but as an advantage it does provide a greater excuse to use the Dinobots in PRIME at some stage and to be honest those new Vehicons look so nice i'm prepared to forgive them the lapse just because they look so nice.
They'd make nice toys and the helicopter might even make for good head-swap repaints too. So I hope they put them on the "To do list" long before they put things like a good many IDW characters on it.
Agreed, there were comic books as well. That really doesn't change anything regarding what I said. The designs/personalities/voices etc are all still G1 inspired, and the plot was still not connected to G1.
Technically, it's been tied to Prime since before Prime's first episode aired. Arguably since before the game released. Because they've been saying WfC and Prime were both part of Aligned since before Prime started airing.
but you have to understand that a lot of people were looking forward to how the story turns out.. and being able to play as the characters we watched when we were younger before they got to earth.. which is what it was set out to be. and when they change it like this.. it can get annoying.
But they still have that. Metroplex, Shockwave, Grimlock, Bruticus, etc. are ALL G1 inspired. People have the opportunity to play as all these characters they liked when they were younger. The designs are still G1 inspired. The personalities are still G1 inspired. The first games plot was NEVER tied to G1 anyway. There were tonnes of characters who should not have existed yet (as they hadn't shown up in the show until season 2). The plot was in constant conflict with what G1 had established as back story. The fact that the plot is now tied to Prime rather than G1, when it was NEVER about G1 is a ridiculous reason to be frustrated. If you can't have a game even slightly connected to a non G1 franchise, then you have issues letting go.

I love those Helicoptor and Tank Vehicons. They should make toys of them!

G1 isn't just the 80's cartoon people.
Oh and Nice Vehicon Helicopter & tank but I think they are in the wrong game.

Darn. Looks like no more Transformers games for me then.
Rexidus
It's just the Prime game. FOC is ps3 and 360 only.
Prime Jetscream
That Prime game doesn't look so bad.

Excited to hear about the latest news on the Prime game! Love the fact they're using the actors from the show to do it! I may consider getting it!
They say paraell to the events of Orion Pax. So is this like an alternate take on the arc in Season 2?
spikebuster
Now im confused. Is it Just the Prime game that will have a DS verson or does FOC have a DS verson?
brr-icy
escalation? one word question deserves one word answer
samtastic
Yeah, definitely Metroplex and he looks so amazing. Such a brilliant design team.
Again, IDW/Hasbro: PLEASE RELEASE AN ART OF BOOK FOR ALL HIGH MOON STUDIOS WFC/FOC art! I love it and can't get enough of it!
I'll buy two!
