    Yep, Jazz was the only one I was even remotely feeling, all the bots mostly just look like clunkier, chunkier versions of their CHUG or Evergreen designs, and the minicons or whatever look weird and not very “on brand”

    So for those wondering, it's possible that Hasbro does in fact own those designs. It depends on how their contract with the gaming company was worded. Given that Transformers is a major, well known franchise I would guess that Hasbro does in fact own these the same way they own the movie designs (IIRC). The movie company just owns the film rights and some merch rights. It's been a LONG time since I've seen that discussed though so my memory could be wrong on that.
    I would have a hard time believing that Hasbro would license the game but let the company keep the designs since Hasbro likely funded that entire venture.

    Roulette as a Decepticon? Interesting... I feel like they probably had a story there with her starting off alongside her sister but later joining the Autobots and probably blending Shadow Striker's story with the Cyberverse remake of the character's backstory.

    These are some quality designs. Always nice to see TransFormers designs that look like someone cares about what we love, unlike with the movies.

    I don't understand why they now how this weird obsession with trying to made Roulette a Decepticon.

    I get that Shadow Striker is her sister, but the whole point of their relationship is that they were staunchly opposed on which faction they picked to fight for after the death of their other sister in a raid.

    Also, everyone is too wiiiiiiiiiiddddeeee.

    I love all the bot bot esque mini cons here. I assume you would\'ve been able to scan real life items and they would augment them transforming into thos guys?

    The Minicons being weapons/equippables reminds me of the Armada game.

    Neat to see some deep cuts getting the spotlight. Hopefully this translates to new retail toys.

    wow, this looked like it could have been a lot of fun

    minicons too?!!

    some of them look like viable BotBots concepts...

    Roulette out of nowhere since her BotCon debut...

    I really love those Minicons.
    And despite being basically just the BB Movie Seeker design, I dig that Starscream. Or rather, I like how they cleaned up the movie model to use here.

    Same. Bumblebee is the same old "evergreen with tweaks" design. Arcee could've been great if they just committed to making a main character in a game targeted at young boys to be pink.

    But man did they do Hound dirty. Turned him into a poor man's Bulkhead.

    …why does Wheeljack have a disembodied head with legs…? And is that a BeastBox Echoblaster parrot? Arcee is pure red too. And apparently Soundwave decided to rip off Blaster’s alt mode.

    Yeah not really liking most of those bot designs. The little companions though look like a nice blend of the armda/arms microns partners and that I do quite like, especially the little parrot cassette bot looking one.

    Looks like poor little Eddie had to find new work since there's not much going on with Megaman these days. :lol

    Roulette looks badass, no idea why she's a Decepticon though. Not a fan of how they made Shadow Striker purple like Cyberverse.
