    The graphics were funny and I'm stoked for WFC 2.
    The MMO has potential, but such things are difficult to make profitable.

    I really wonder if Botcon will team up with existing fan conventions in it's international endeavors, or if it's going to do everything on it's own. Wonder which countries they'll include as well; hopefully, there won't be only one Europe version that will be held in the UK. Would love to have a(n official) Dutch Botcon. :lol 

    Not surprised they're releasing the TF MMOG overseas; cheap game that is guaranteed to attract the fans. :redface2:

    WFC2!! :drool: 

    let's just hope they don't muck it up like the first one (that game had a lot of potential and it went out the window)

    War for Cybertron 2 huh? Shouldn't it be titled War for Earth since that is where 1 left off.



    Edit: I'm kidding I know it's just an announcement of the game.

    I'm just hoping that the Wii gets something better than Cybertron Adventures this time around. And a MMORPG? Holy crap, I so want that!

    I wonder if the people who put together this slideshow really talk about Transformers in terms of corporate buzzwords, or if they're just doing it because they think that's what the investors want to see. :lol 

    Actually, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the first one end with Optimus saying that the core group of Autobots still have work to do before leaving Cybertron themselves?

    This slide was shocking! Wonder if it's adjusted for inflation?

    I was just about to post a comment on this slide! This is garbage statistics. This is the kind of BS that infomercials try to force feed to ignorant audiences and it's a shame that investors aren't wiser to this sort of thing. You cant collapse 11 yrs of data and compare it to 2 yrs of data. Whether this has been adjusted for inflation or not it wouldn't make sense. If you took the sales of Transformers toys at their highest peak during G1 and compared it to now while adjusting for inflation i think that you would have a lot more valid graph. I'm not saying that there hasn't been growth but I do believe that this is highly misleading. They're also not clear on what the graph is measuring. Is it just measuring toys or all revenue of items sold with the Transformers name on it? I personally fail to believe that they make a dramatically larger amount of money on toys now than they did in the 80s.

    Oh yeah, it's vague, ra-ra stuff. Totally.

    Makes me want to buy up some HAS in my IRA though. So there's the desired effect.

    Yeah. There's no doubt it has the desired effect. I'm just weary of the level of competence of the movers and shakers that throw their money arround indiscriminately to make educated decisions on where to invest.

    Wow, really? I though the game was awesome, utterly stellar for a license game.
    I would imagine WFC2 will probably take the Call of Duty root and just evolve from its predecessor, which is perfectly fine. Leave reinventing the wheel to production companies that have infinite funds and time, examples being; Nintendo and the Mario franchise.

    The most exciting aspect of all this is the renewed hope I now have for getting a WfC Starscream toy.

    I'm more excited about the 3DS TF game and the MMO.

    Really want to see what both can bring for us, the first because the 3DS seems to be an amazing machine and MMO because, hell, we never had anything close to that in TF before, really want to see the results.
