This is just pure torture waiting for this game to come out. With every new video and every new picture I am just chomping at the bit to play this. I am so sure that this game will not be a dissapointment.
Chaos Muffin
play the Con campaign first, I got it.

Maybe all those things separate don't mean much but they seem rather odd when you put them all together.
Opticron Primal
Nothing new. Ore 13 in the IDW universe is basically the same thing.
Nothing new again. Megatron activating Cybertron's core is the same premise as one of their sources, The War Within.
Once again. Nothing new. Omega's been a guardian since the character was created. Whether guardian of Iacon or guardian of the depths of Cybertron etc.
This game is working on the ideas and concepts of multiple TF sources.

Only the Wii has local co-op. It's on the official site under features.

He said Hasbro told them that for every single Decepticon toy they sell, they sell an Autobot toy.

"Dark Energon", going to Cybertron's core, and Omega Supreme as a guardian of Cybertron's depths?
Anyone?
Deadend
I think it's only you.
Because this won't have unicron, or Megatron and prime going Ultra man and duking it out etc.
Leadfoot
Tieger is a Decepticon at heart? Hmm… Disturbing
Da_Razorsaw
so… anyone else but me realize that this is essentially the plot of the last half of Energon/Super Link?
TwinSpin
I'm sure you can play split screen locally. If not, it sucks.

Damn…all this talk about co-op and I was really hoping to play with friends in the same room.
Now I have to go and find random strangers…

Only Wii has local co-op. The features on the official site.
Ethereal
Sooooo…am I missing something or are they simply choosing not to say a peep about local co-op/multiplayer?
guard convoy
first, the vid said hasbro told them for every autobot toy there is a decepticon toy released…..BULLSHIT haha
shadowsfm
i thought both autobots and decepticons get 10 chapters, not just 5.
Transformed
Awesome find, a partial story break down:
Assuming noting comes before and after the arrows at the ends of chapter I and X there are only ten chapters; however, upon selecting your chapter of choice, it looks like the player can choose one of ten subchapters to begin his/her adventure. Sweet!
