How would it work though? My guess would be like a GTA V weapon wheel situation.

 

Sixshot:You were supposed to destroy the autobots, not join them!
Quickswitch:Shut up dad... you suck!
Sixshot:GO TO YOUR ROOM!

 

Beast Wars characters. Having robot modes be similar play styles but each individual beast mode have its own features and mechanics. Cheetor obviously moves super fast and agile, Rattrap can be used to reach cramped areas (I always felt Cliffjumper's level in FOC was designed for Rattrap) Optimus can climb and scale all kinds of terrain and trees, etc.

 

probably whirl or one of the mini cassettes I think a game where you play as rumble, frenzy, eject, or ravage would be pretty fun

 

Soundwave: I thought it would be cool if the majority of Soundwave's moveset relied on the cassettes doing the work, where you'd send them out to do most of the work and Soundwave himself kinda just hangs back and like shoots stuff. He would also be really fun for puzzles. Alternatively, everything he did could be based on sound and music and have the cassettes function as basically turrets.
Blitzwing: my interpretation would be that he's just balls to the wall violent, throwing people around, blowing shit up, jumping between both modes every couple seconds, he could be so much fun. I guess his trade off would be that he could only use basic, simple weapons.
Seekers: I'd imagine they'd have a move set based on harassing the enemy with ranged weapons, have low defense, but be very fast
Devastator: I don't care how you do it just give me the chance to blow shit up as Devy


I think I really want a Decepticon game. Probably because the majority of Autobots tend to have similar abilities.

 

perhaps a ducon and you have to search for your other half and then when you find your other half you say "It's duoing time" and start duoing around.

 

I say Springer. You've got both guns & swords, so combat is covered on both fronts. Then there's his mobility. Springer not only has both a land & sea form but it's great jumping ability would provide so much fun to playing as the Wrecker leader.

 

So ya want guns blazin' n swords shreadin' I guess that's the only way to truly wreck and rule.

 

I would love a Headmasters game. Like @KFGatri suggested where you control the Headmaster or their associated Transformer. There should also be stages where you drive/pilot the alt mode. The player can be a new character that partners with multiple TF characters.

Or how about this:

A multiplayer game where 5-6 players have to control one gestalt together during parts of the game.

 

I think that would work better with powermasters as I think the head design of the main dude would clash with alot of the bodies you would use and a simple silver/gray engine could be easily visually compatable with any transformer. Except if what you are suggesting is that you need to change transtechtors like how you need to change hats in Super Mario 64 DS but I think that would be too complicated and just having one transtechtor I feel would be much easier.

 

I'm thinking the latter. One transtechtor that becomes the head and driver/pilot of various Transformers. It could be basic black/gray/white so it clashes less with the colors of the various TF characters.

 

An engine I think would be better as the head would need to look very basic for it to be compatible with every character an engine however does not have that problem because it will always be a small part of the design plus powermasters need more love man.

 

Sideswipe. I think he was the fastest in the Quake 2 mod anyway.

 

SkyByte. After taking out a group of enemies ala’ the Arkham games, he’d drop a haiku. He’d have like 200 different haikus in the game & you could keep a log of all of them in his journal at Predacon HQ.  

 

Wouldn't that get real annoying later on?

 

I'm gonna go with Springer for the versatility. Sandstorm would be a good choice as well.

 

Never!

 

Bonus points if as time goes on he struggles to keep coming up with new ones and they get more comically forced and awkward.

People forget that it's not just that Sky-Byte loved poetry, he was also bad at it.   It'd also be funny if he misquoted or mis-attributed classic literature in an attempt to sound smart.

 

I'd like a game to actually use some of the established abilities from the series.

Assuming a multiverse style game:

Springer and Blitzwing for real fun triple changer combat, even being able to do the tech spec move of Blitzwing coming in jet mode and landing on a bot in tank mode, crushing it.

Marvel Galvatron, a being of unequal power, but having to do just enough to keep Unicron feeling like you're doing his bidding weakening Cybertron while you're actually getting it ready for his coming.

TM2 Dragon Megatron. Flying around spewing fire and being a merciless conquerer. Kind of like a flying Grimlock level.

Fortress Maximus. Being able to switch between three Bots and three modes for Maximus would be this real fun puzzle play challenge level, almost like a rts tower defense game meets the last level from Fall of Cybertron.

Skywarp with real teleporting feature. Think a mix of Ace Combat with a Doom level high octane battle.

Soundblaster/Twincast level with all the tapes to deploy to help with challenges.

Optimus Prime level using Optimus, the Combat Deck, and Roller all at the same time.

A race level on Speedia as the Stunticons that ends with Menasor tearing up the track.

G2 Megatron vs Cobra and Autobots level with the rail gun and the mini nuke as a cool down power, trying to take the shuttle to get off world.

Energon Megatron space battle Sim (kind of like Elite Dangerous) that includes planetary landings and fighting battles in bot mode.

Black Convoy using everything at his disposal to take on Autobots and Predacons alike.
Animated Megatron going around killing Starscream clones in New Detroit.

 

How about a spy mission with Metalhawk like that proposed episode of transformers animated but in game mode
