    Don't preorder. The game on discount + the pre-order DLC as a separate buy will almost guaranteed be cheaper at that point.

    Depends on if cutscenes are run off the game engine, which they pretty much are nowadays. Could happen that you get that weird reversal to the default view, but I doubt it.

    Example. All cutscenes in Bloodborne showed me in the equipment I was wearing at the time.

    Meh. I was hoping they'd have something besides repaints and weapons. Season 3 Bots too out there, but maybe Cliffjumper/Huffer for Bumblebee, Mirage/Prowl for Sideswipe, and Ironhide for Optimus.

    I guess it could be worse, we could've gotten Wheelie. :lol 

    Ultimately, I'd prefer Rodimus, Magnus, and Kup.

    For anyone waiting to get the game and DLC on discount, consider that the best likelihood of getting more G1-based games is to make the game a financial success. Dan Gilvezan even said as much in a recent Vangelus interview where he was discussing voicing bumblebee again after 30 years. Strong numbers out the gate usually help with that.

    Just something to consider when deciding if/where/when you pick this up. I haven't dropped 50 bucks on a game in years but pre-ordered this time. Would love to eventually get a G1 open world game with the original voice cast and no one is getting younger.

    I'm going to have to wait for the GOTY edition (perhaps during the Holidays). I know this is beating a dead bot, but if I'm paying $60 for a game, everything should be in it already without jumping through a casserole of nonsensical hoops. It's the same reason I haven't sprung for Arkham Asylum yet... and I love those Batman games.

    But there has never been a GOTY Transformers edition game and with this years competition of Batman, Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Battlefront and others, I don't see this being the first year of that happening

    That just encourages developers to milk us more than they already do. Give me a complete game on Day 1, and I'm more likely to buy...on Day 1.

    Idc about any of that. I want an open world G1 game with original voice cast if at all possible. Since they're all 50-60+ its now or never to support their work and money talks. Practicality trumps whatever little principled stance you want to make here.

    I'm pretty sure Devastation isn't going to get a GOTY edition either due to lackluster gameplay or lack of DLC to put into a GOTY version.

    If you're adamant about getting everything for your $60 then just wait for the game to go on sale and use the money you saved to buy the DLC.

    In the UK, Amazon's selling the PC version on disc for less than half the price of pre-ordering it on Steam. I don't think it includes these bonuses, but I'm assuming Activision will sell them as DLC later.
    The game has an upgrade system (you collect 'credits' in-game for this). It's possible the skins and 2 of the weapons might have elevated stats - the pistols increase the amount of credits defeated enemies drop.

    Yes? :D 
    don't need one of those
    When it is supposed to be a different character with different voice over.
    Yeah a G2 Sideswipe or Clampdown would have been much better!
    PC pre-order on steam=
    Pre-purchase TRANSFORMERS: Devastation on Steam

    They are really putting me on the spot with adding GoldBUG in there.
    I hope there will be some enterprising modeler/skinner that will make a real VW mod for Bumblebee/Goldbug.

    It's on the website so I'd imagine they are.

    The game is but I don't see mention of the pre-order bonus anywhere.
