    Video game developers should make a game for something that isn't G1, but is still highly beloved, and they should refine the control system from ROTF and implement that into the game.

    The issue with the ROTF game is that you had to hold down the button to remain in vehicle mode, even in the DOTM and for that matter the Cybertron series, to remain in proper vehicle mode, not stealth force mode, you had to hold a button and since the 2007 game you haven't had a game where you can transform into vehicle mode and remain stationary if you wanted to. In my ideal Transformers game you'd be able to tap a single button to transform, and then have the same basic driving controls as your standard car driving game (say The Crew, Watch Dogs, GTA, etc, i.e being able to drive forward, park, reverse, etc.)

    That's what I meant by refine the ROTF control system.

    Keep the mechanics the same, but don't make the controls for vehicle mode banal.

    At this point I truly would not mind something the level of quality as the DOTM game. That had just enough effort put into it to be passable, and was already an improvement on WFC in some aspects.

    But what if you just wanted to admire the vehicle mode?

    It's an annoyance to hold down a button just to trigger and sustain vehicle mode, when it should feel like second-nature to the playable characters.

    And even if holding down a vehicle button to enter and stay in vehicle mode wasn't annoying, the same button being used for acceleration was the worst flaw in an otherwise outstanding design.

    What if you just wanted to transform just to look at and admire the vehicle modes of the characters?

    You can't do that because you'd be too busy holding down the R2 button, and you'd be too busy steering because the character won't stop moving in vehicle mode.

    Make no mistake, the faster pace of action in the ROTF game is the best thing about the movie games in general, but not being able to park in vehicle mode and enjoy some downtime is a rather noticeable oversight.

    Along with the lack of free roam.

    And proper cutscenes.

    It's called benefit of the doubt.
