My problem with this game is the characters look too much like the toys. Not the good ones either. I'm talking about the overly-cartoony borderline fisher price looking figures.

WOW just WOW

I just skimmed through the video, pausing at all the classes intro screens. Some of their abilities sound awesome! Like the Leader class has an ability to force an opponent to transform, and lock them in that mode for a short time. Bad. Ass.
Also, I checked out the Character Customization menus and it looks great! You pick a class, and choose 2 out of about 6 weapons and 2 out of 6 abilities. Then, it appears you can choose a "build" for your class of character. Like a different model or look, I mean. And you can alter 2 colors of your character, like primary and secondary colors. And from there, you're good to go!
This game looks so amazing. That battles will be incredible, and the team work will be great! I'm so happy I preordered at GameStop a couple weeks ago. Shockwave will be fun to use!
EDIT: Oh no! I just found out that this video is from the PC version. Crap, I preordered the PS3 version. I hope they keep these features!!
EDIT 2: Wow. I just noticed at the Class Selection screen that there are weapon/ability sets that unlock at Level 5 and 10. This means that a) I was wrong about picking 2 weapons and abilities, and b) There is an EXP/Level up System! You can earn experience points for each class separately. This is awesome news. It will give everyone more incentive to play online.
Final EDIT: Everything I just said can be found in the Developer Interview video that came out recently. Wow, I'm slow.

This is one feature I can't wait to use. Hopefully it isn't a feature cut from the PC version, as that's most likely the version I end up getting. The options were always going to be limited, imo at least. The options that we do get are really nice. Especially the vast range of options for the colors. I'd rather have limited options than no option to create my own character at all.

Looks great, but I'm a little dissapointed in the light customization options

Hey, you PS3 guys… add me so we can own on this game. Sideswipe80 I already have you added I believe.

Not in the Wii version

Hmm I noticed on the profiles the small image you click on for Prime seems to have a cab and a trailer? Could it be possible he might pick up the trailer attachment at some point in the game? Also, did they thin Starscream's legs a bit? they don't look as chunky as in the concept artwork.

You are correct about the PS2 version, good sir. I have the PS2 version of the ROTF game. I hope to be getting a PS3 by the end of May, so I will be going to my gamestop to reserve my copy of WFC in the coming future. (I wants my Shocky!)
Paxtin
Yeah, on the Wii, and I think the PS2, the game was mostly like an action beat em up, and the transformations were special "kill evenything on screen" moves.
Like Megatron, who would turn into tank mode and then the turret would spin, fire off a few rounds, and then he'd transform back.
Opticron Primal
Not on the Wii i think. Transforming was a special.
SPLIT LIP
??? They transformed in that game, dude.

Better yet, an Optimus repaint like Magnus.
Also I saw a Cliffjumper repaint in there.
Cyber-Scream
Awesome. Magnus @ 0:57?
Barricade_Rules
I don't know it appears that the online features are still intact on the Wii.
Frankly, the fact that the robots actually transform in this one makes it already far superior to ROTF was

Sweet.

. . . . . yeah, i'll be recreating the Beast Wars core cast. . . . .
YoungPrime
Yes! I can't wait to Create "MegaBum" (a Megatron repaint with a 5 o'clock shadow) to level the battle field and everybody on it!
