not quite sure if this is news but Screw Attacks latest interview with the ROTF game developers has shed light on some more of the multiplayer aspects of the game including map count and other little bits of info

I tried teabagging in the game at Botcon, but I couldn't figure out how. Pushing down on the left analog stick did nothing.  

 

  awesome

 

What was the crouch button?

 

new name for robot teabagging boltbagging

 

I had no idea - I don't think the in-game tutorial covered it. It would've been nice to know though as I chose Ironhide who seems to be a short-ranged fighter. Our opponents included Megatron and 3 Starscreams so it would've been nice to crouch behind the smaller buildings while our opponents were attempting to rain death down upon us.

 

nice

 

Guess I'm playing as Starscream.

 

Good to hear that you can have more then 1 of each character in mutiplayer.

 

I can't wait to play. Love that you get an achievement for it...

 

Awesome, sounds amazing so far.

But okay, according to what is said towards the end of this interview there are 12 Characters playable in single player and 15 in Multiplayer. Well, what is the list so far? This is what I got, who am I missing?

Autobots:

Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Ironhide
Ratchet
Breakaway
Protectobot (mutiplayer)
Aerielbot (multiplayer)

Decepticons:

Megatron
Starscream
Sideways
Longhaul
Grindor
Constructicon (multiplayer)
Combaticon (multiplayer)

This is only 14 all together, not the 15 for multiplayer like they say in the interview. Does that mean there are no hidden characters? If that's the case we should get 1 secret character on each side to equal the 12 for single player. Then the 4 special team drones are for the multiplayer plus one extra secret character, which comes to a total 15 multiplayer characters. Is that right or is my math just bad? Because that means the total is wrong, one secret character for each side equals the 12 single player total, but that raises the multiplayer total to 17, what's the deal?

And who will this final secret multiplayer character be? 15 character makes for a uneven number of playable robots, so which side will end up with the extra solider? Could it be the Fallen? That would be cool.

 

Wait...you get an achievement for teabagging someone?

NICE!

 

WAIT, wait a minute, is there another use of the word teabgging. Because uhh the definition I have for it.... alright so what is teabagging to you guys?  

 

Play Halo 3 and you'll find out.  

 

It's hilarious that you get to teabag other bots and get an achievement for it, but that interview was horrible.

5 minutes of teabagging talk? Seriously?

 

Alright so assuming the guys in Halo are fully armored, it's not what I am thinking hopefully  . Though it would make for an interesting Transformers game.

 

no it IS what you are thinking  

 

Dipping your virtual balls in your dead opponents mouth to show how dominant you are is how the internet gaming community rolls...next to sending people messages calling them noobs or 10 year olds singing loud down your headset.

 

this.
