G1 Megatron and Optimus Prime Clips in Transformers Game

Posted on 06-28-2007 at 07:12 PM by KidDynamite
Two videos have surfaced on YouTube with clips of the G1 models of Megatron and Optimus Prime from the new Transformers video game. As previously reported, these are not skins, but actual new models. Megatron appears not to be able to transform; his "transformation" is instead just his robot mode flying around.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but it's a crude clip


Better sweet though to see it's a REAL MODEL and not just a reskin


EDIT: Found G1 Optimus Prime too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zIZxszCfRc


DOUBLE EDIT: G1 MEGATRON CAN ONLY BE UNLOCKED VIA FINDING ALL 20 DECEPTICON SYMBOLS!

G1 OPTIMUS PRIME, VIA 20 AUTOBOT SYMBOLS!

^_^
Incepticon:
Which platform are these from?

I'm still trying to decide whether or not to buy the PS2 version until I know if all these kinds of bells & whistles are also included with it.
ActionMasterZod:
Damn I was expecting megatron to transform into a small gun and just sit there.
Damn.
Oh well
someone on the tfwire fourms posted this earlier.
That optimus is pretty cool.
brothersamuel40:
From what I can tell (on a post in the Optimus Prime clip) the PS2 guys got screwed over with only a reskin I think
Dark_Convoy:
It's kind of strange seeing the G1 bots in a "real world" setting.

Still, very cool none the less.
Dirge121:
That Megatron is one of the most awesome things ever, cant wait to trash a city as G1 Megs.

No more plans and strategy, just blow everything up!
NGW:
Wait...his transformation is...him flying O_o?

Kinda disappointing.

And yeah, the G1 models do look..a bit out of place in a real world setting.
Radaphyte:
I quite like that transformation as megatron. Turning into a static object wouldn't be much fun. Or he could turn into the amazing giant flying gun. Actually, that'd be sweet.

But I'm very pleased it's not just re-skins.
brothersamuel40:
Personally I like that he flies instead of becoming a gun


It'd just look silly if he flops to the ground. Amusing it WOULD be, but still...
littleiron:
MODs?

These are sweet

I think it's great! Now that's Megatron!
I want it I want it I want it!!!!!
KidDynamite:
I love the reckless abandon displayed by Optimus Prime in truck mode in the second clip, carelessly barreling through traffic and knocking cars out of the way.

I kept hearing him bellowing "Out of the way Hot Rod!" in my head.
Chaos Prime:
Is that for xBox 360? Becasue that's the one I have. And I want to unlock him!
WWMEGATRON:
Oh Yeah !! G1 Megs!!
1UpCheatachu:
I don't think that the Wii version has those characters. Just skins.
DestronGenerals:
I unlocked G1 Ops on PS3 and I can't even figure out how to turn him on.
I went to the menu and turned it on, then went used some button combos I found on gamefaqs and finally decided that it was just a G1 recoloration that is already very similar to movie prime.

hopefully those models are whats supposed to happen!

also the cybertron levels are available on the PS3 when I thought they'd only be for the 360.

In the Wii version the "G1 Prime" skin is just Movie Prime without flames, from what I've heard.
Methos:
The game codes only unlock the repainted skins,you have to collect the Autobot/Decepticon symbols to unlock the G1 models.

Just like the trailers, Ironhide opening fire on a busy road full of cars.
Also, in all the online videos, people seem to be doing more damage to the city as Autobots than as Decepticons.

Maybe the Autobots just flipped one day.

Ratchet: Well Prime, whats the mission for today?
Prime: Were gonna blow up every green or yellow vehicle on the road.
Ratchet: But Prime, me and Bumbl..
Prime: I said were gonna blow up every green or yellow vehicle, gottit?
Ratchet: Yes sir.
Ironhide: *Blows Ratchet and BB away with Missiles* Yee-haw!
Prime: Good work Ironhide, now get me a Bud.

Damn the Autobots could be great if they used "Prime = Dick" logic in the games....sigh

EDIT: This made much more sense in my head, damn, its late, I should get some sleep.
Tman978:
That's tight! When they said Skins, I was thinking repaints, not full on, redesigned bodies. Shit, this makes me almost wanna buy the game.
Infosaur:
Whoever shot this clip didn't showcase much, Can we SEE Megatron firing his gun please? Can we show more Prime Transforming? Can Megatron fire while flying?

(and btw the fact that he got caught on a broken water tower base and took multiple attempts to climb the building doesn't fill me with confidence)
protostar8:
Wow. I'm disappointed. The Prime model doesn't look very good to me. The Megatron model looks very good though. However, it's ridiculous that the programmers couldn't take the extra time to give Prime his gun instead of making him fire out of his hands. It's also crappy that Megatron fires bullets out of his arm cannon instead of laser blasts. I'll just wait and see if anyone starts making some good PC mods b/c I'm just not impressed w/ what they did given the large amount of time they had to work with it. I also think part of the reason that the G1 selves look out of place is b/c of the way they move/stand. It's kinda just a funky stance when they aren't moving. And to me, the quality of the movie is really too bad to tell whether or not it fits in well b/c even the normal cars look pretty bad in those video clips. The game just looks like it's not that good even though people really want it to be.
panda:
off topic i just beat the autobots side of the campaigne and got optimus robovision what is that looks the same and has any one seen ratchet
tybearmvt:
I think Galvatron qoudl have been a better selection for this game even though he is G2
OptimusTOM:
Quite possibly THE WORST camera work ever to be displayed by anyone at anytime in the history of the universe.


other than that... GREAT WORK GREAT NEWS HOOORRAAAY!!
Dolza_Khyron:
now i see why g1 just would not work in the movie optimus prime looks SO out of place in that game.
thygriever:
The G1 Optimus is cool! I didn't know they'd rework his whole design. Did someone say it doesn't work in the PS2 version?? Cause that's the one I'm going to rent...
soundwave47:
.......cheat codes?
betetta:
i wonder if those are in the PC version...
Quintesson #1:
It's amazing you could all get that from that poor quality vid. I couldn't even tell cars apart from the road most of the time because the lighting was so bad.

In any case, it looks like a straight Masterpiece toy port to me. Not what a movie version would have looked like. A movie version would have had to compromise.

Main reason he stands out seems to be that he's got far brighter colours than the rest in that world, which is rather muted. Think we'll all have to wait for a proper quality vid to really be able to tell though, but these unlockables might just make the game interesting enough for a lot of other fans.
JusticeSabre:
BAH.

They should have used the Masterpiece models.
Enigma2K2:
... didn't Shockwave float and fire himself?

I think Megatron floated and fired himself in one episode too.
DeceptiKreep:
very cool!
Noisemaze:
So why are the people that have the game getting the people that don't have it all excited??? Yes G1 Megatron & G1 Prime are in the game BUT you can't really do much with them. You can't choose which character you want which means you only get to use them on a couple levels. Each level has it's own corresponding character. Also, by the time you unlock them (unless a code pops up) you're at the end of the game & you can't carry over what you unlocked to a new game. It's pretty damn pointless so don't get all excited! There's no 2 player, no vs. mode & the game is over by the time you unlock them. So all you can do is replay a couple missions or just drive around the city blowing shit up. I wanted to go through the game again with the G1 characters but it won't let me. What a waste!!!

Strange thing happened on mine, I started a new game & nothing was unlocked except the bonus movie of the Cybertron cartoons opening. Why would only that one thing carry over to a new game???
doomtron:
yeah i love the game but they really shafted us on the g1 stuff. i guess we will never have the g1 game we want. i feel like we were lied to. collect 100 energon cubes so i can have pictures of comic books i already own? if this movie does as well as the hype we will never get what we want. g1 fans step aside we arent needed anymore. no thanks for carrying the franchise for twenty years!
IamPRIMUS:
Just seeing the game play (albeit without a mission going on) doesn't interest me at all. But seeing the G1 models in a real world setting seems outta place. Again, I'll pass on the game until I see a review from the one source that I go to for my games on either the PS2 or CP.

Boohoo baby.
PowermasterJazz:
I played with these models and it's apparent that these wouldn't work in the movie. They look like big cartoons. Movie Starscream with G1 skin rocks though.
jnmx2000:
these models look so much better than the movie versions, i keep all the G1 skins and models turned on in my game, they just look better
Lateralus:
Id like to know how to do this for the PC version.
Autobot HipHop:
Now i see why the makers of TFTM '07 opted for "more complex" Transformers...G1 bots in a real world setting looks kinda ridiculous IMHO, like the baloons in a Macy's day parade, they look kiddish and generic.

Most sensible people came to this conclusion anyway.
Ops_was_a_truck:
Welp, this just pushed me over the edge. Gotta buy this game. No rent trial needed.

Yeah, that would rock! Like G1 Shockwave! I need to read some reviews or see further demos before deciding if I should buy this game.
jourdo:
ZOMG! These aren't the movie models!! Activision is raping my adulthood.


Actually these look pretty cool. Gives me a reason to search out these extras.
Maximus_Prime:
has anyone confirmed what systems have these in them? *hoping for the Wii*

if not it's all good though

I think they look great in the real world setting. But that's just my opinion, I guess.


I think they move around a little clumsily. Also, Megatron's flying "transformation" doesn't look great either. It seems he has almost no control when flying. And, anyways, his flying ability should be standard...not something special. He looks like King Kong climbing those buildings for christ's sakes.
Shotoman:
So...about the PS2 version. Just got it today. Under bonus content, there's a section titled 'G1 characters,' with five different spaces to be filled as I unlock 'em. Sooooo...that gives me hope they're in the PS2. Unless there's five different G1 repaint skins...but I'm only aware of Prime, Jazz, and 'Screamer. Apart from that, the PS2 version has the faction symobls to collect, which is another good sign.

Quick note to those who are complaining about the unockables being simple bits of cover art, and the fact that G1 Megs and Prime just show up at the end with no real use...well, that's kinda the standard for licenced game unlockables. I'd like more, too, but I kinda like what's there. Remember, this isn't a G1 game, it's a movie game, so any G1 fan nods at all is a good one...
