    I really, really don't know what to think of the style of combat and animation.

    I am looking forward to having a go though.

    I'd be happier if we were getting an actual sequel or follow-up to FoC, but this is still pretty good. And the visual design is nice.

    But what does disappoint me is Peter Cullen's Optimus Prime. Don't get me wrong, I love Cullen/Optimus Prime. But (especially) for a G1 game, I want his classic, original voice, not the "aligned" voice. I don't know if he simply can't do the classic voice anymore, or if he's just set on his modern approach, but he's the one voice actor in this game I can't get excited about.

    Blame it on Transformers: The Movie (1986). That's when he started getting all epic in his speech, and this game is clearly channeling the shading and art style of the movie. ;) 

    But yeah, I totally agree. I want the more relaxed Optimus, not his epic speech voice.

    I just want to know that there will be more varied settings than what we've been shown. So far, with one exception, all of the gameplay we've seen has taken place in the middle of a city. Seems kind of boring.

    Yep. LOVE Dr. Smoove.

    I had the same thought. But the 80's era-cartoonish style is such a nice breath of fresh air that I'm okay with the reflections being baked in.

    EDIT: Too bad, it looks like they couldn't get the VW license for Bumblebee... based on a quick viewing he appears to be more generic and not a Bug. But the scale difference between him and the constructicons is perfect, love it. Really gets me amped for the eventual battle vs. Devastator!

    I'm gonna hold judgement until actual reviews from players come out. I feel like it could either be good because of the gameplay and nostalgia, or bad because it's basically Naruto: Ninja Storm's engine with Transformers, and even that is gimped. N:NS has something like 35 characters, so having only 5 reported right now is disappointing.

    I don't know of any point in time where Optimus transformed into a truck just to fly through the air to deliver a combo unless it was to shove his wingo in Megatrons oral processor.

    Yeah... Well...

    FREAKING AWESOME! I just finally got around to watching the demo video and it is incredible. Seriously, you can basically play the cartoon. How has no one done this before? What a brilliant concept and an amazing looking game. This will be the first video game I've bought in years and it will be a day one purchase. I can't wait.

    I like what I see so far. Gotta agree with the sentiment of them doing air combos and transforming in midair for a ramming attack is definitely on the silly side. But it's a videogame that isn't trying to be all dark, edgy, and gritty, so I can let that slide.

    But what I really wanna see is how a level progresses, atleast from the start and for like 5 minutes or so after. Just to get a good feel of how it plays. I really, REALLY hope isn't the same kinda thing that Tatakai/Call of the Future did. Put you in an "arena", you clear the area of enemies, automatically get moved to the next "arena". Rinse and repeat. That would be bad. Real bad.

    Lilac classics Ramjet repaint as a toy thanks!

    The game looks pretty cool.. kind of.. not really my genre. But it is Transformers and so very VERY G1 looking and thus tempting even though all you seem to do is bash shit, which i'm not really into.

    Now that we've seen some actual gameplay my hopes are rising again. Artwise it just looks amazing, but had some big doubts (not the biggest beat m up / hack n slash fan).

    Glad this is not a small DLC title, so in the hands of Platinum this should be great. :thumb

    When the guy said "With all due respect." you could practically hear the quotation marks on his tone.

    This game looks incredibly silly. But in a way that works for the style. I mean Prime uses his disappearing trailer as an combo attack.

    Platinum's fighting game mechanics are incredible so swift and badass. I'll probably won't buy the game but i'd like to play it eventually.

    also Wheeljack's voice is ok.

    I love the idea, and the aesthetic, all in all it should be really fun.

    Damn, that was sweet. Reminds me of Dragonball Xenoverse. I like the fighting style of the game, but I never got into Dragonball. This on the other hand, bought on sight!

    Wheeljacks voice is a little choppy, but I can live with it. :D

    I have a soft spot for licensed games and tend to overlook a lot of their flaws because im playing as a character I enjoy just hope that during the levels their are quiet moments where we can just mess around as the characters

    my wishes for the game:
    make individual levels replayable with any transformer without having to restart the game or activate new game plus
    dlc hot rod
    classic music
    health bar! sick of the screen darkening effect nowadays
    extra content like character model viewer, art, and bios there was a batman game (rise of sun-tsu) that had pictures of the toys as unlockable art so I would like to see stuff like that
