Normally I hate Gamestop but this is just good.So, anybody else getting War for Cybertron?
For the PS3? yes! And WHO will the last special charater be?!I guess Grimlock. He is a fanfav and fits in the leader class.
I am. PS3 version.Though I do wish I knew about the other pre-order guys in advance, because as much as I hate to admit it...Demolisher looks kinda boss.Also, why can't we get an entire toyline out of WfC?It'd be awesome, IMO

>>81293Grimlock has only been confirmed as playable on the DS I think.
If the Wii version doesn't turn out to be a complete piece of shit, I'll probably at least rent it.
pleasebegoodpleasebegoodPS2 Transformers was so good, movie tie-ins made me cry
I heard the pre-order characters were for multiplayer only.I'm still buying this motherfucker regardless, but I'd very much like to use Shockwave in singleplayer.
>>81293Wait....THAT Slipstream? THIS Slipstream?
>>81359 Yes, check the mulitplayer trailer.>>81301 RotF was okay...>>81275 Fun trailer but Instruments of destrution would have fit better!
>>81359Yes.
>>81362DO WANT
>>81362 OH GOD, MY WALLET!
>>81361But had it been a different it wouldn't have come off as nearly stupidly awesome G1 as it did.

>>81613>can't make yellow or red decepticonswell fuck that shit.
>>81375>>81388Really? I like Autobot Slipstream so much more.
>>81613>>81616Didn't we see a yellow Breakdown character in the multiplayer mode trailer? If not yellow, then sort of khaki, but still... Maybe some colors are just disabled in color-coded team oriented games.
>>81630Concur'd.
>>81658>Implying autobots should fly
My only gripe is that I can't make a Scientist Tank.I just want to be Perceptor!
Yes, but I don't think I'll be pre-ordering. As much as I love Shockwave I doubt I'll even get to use the multiplayer that much.
>>81689I'm just as fine with the 'all transformers were the same then divided into two factions' origin as I am the 'autobots tried to make transformers who fly but they all turned out evil' origin.
I'll buy it, used.Fuck Activision and Bobby Kotick.
>>81698I'm there for the 3-player co-op.
>>81689Autobots fly all the time. That "They can't fly" thing was seriously retarded shit.>>81700Concur'd.
>>81689> Implying the Aerialbots aren't Autobots.
The whole Autobots cant fly thing only applies to the fact that the Deceptions could fly in their bot modes.Well it also applies in Animated but that's different.
>>81709The reason they couldn't fly in Animated was simply because it followed the rule "you can fly in robot mode if your alt-mode can fly" (unless you get a jetpack), and before the twins were rebuilt as Jetfire and Jetstorm all of the Autobots' alt-modes were ground vehicles.
>>81715And flying alt-modes just wasn't possible for Autobots for the longest time. Omega Supreme was the only one who could do it, and he was a giant secret project war machine.
>>81704>>81709>>81715>>81718'Look, it works like this: Jets are cool. Evil is cool. Thus jets should always be evil.>>81705The Aerialbots were a travesty.
>>81715They flew regularly in the animated series all the time. Watch the FIRST EPISODE.
>>81740I meant Transformers Animated (as in, the show which had the word "Animated" in it), not the first animated series, which was actually pretty inconsistent about whether or not the Autobots could fly in robot mode.
>>81741Who cares? Transformers Animated is scrub tier.
>>81759
>>81759I'm sorry. What?>With Beast Machines perhaps not quite living up to Hasbro's hopes, the followup line to Beast Machines was subsequently scrapped. Hasbro's next foray into animation would be to bring over a year-old Japanese show for consumption in the US, until a new story could be concocted. And look how well that turned out.
>>81759Get the fuck out.
>>81733Good is way cooler than Evil bro.
>>81783High-five.
I had an idea for a goofy Transformers fan character.A peacnik, druid-y sort of nod to monks and all their serenity. A Russian independent bot that had three modes; Rocket, large stationary tree and druid-esque humanoid form. Abilities running the gambit from plasma and electromagnetic propulsion to lasers. In tree form, lots of photovoltaic fiber optic cables act as the canopy and camouflage, allowing him to derive energon from sunlight as nourishment and hide in plain sight. I call him RockeTree.Eh? Eh? :D
>>81783>>81784Good is dumb.
>>81790OH YEAH? WELL We're good, so we don't mind if your way of thinking is different than ours.
>>81782Seriously? I want to watch a cartoon starring Ami Yumi while my transformers get all fucking goofy looking to appeal to kids with ADD?Yeah, that's cool, I'll stick with G1, G2, and you faggots can keep your gay shit out of my good shit, and we'll all be happy.
>>81818Because G1 was totally serious and mature and not for kids!
You got that right!
>>81783Decepticons are the good guys
>>81822Whoa there, Raksha. That's going a bit far.
>>81818Crimson confirmed for Classic-GEEWUN.
o/` I told about equality, an it's true, you're either wrong or you're right. But, if you're thinkin' about my baby it don't matter if you're black or white! I am tired of this devil, I am tired of this stuff. I am tired of this business sew when the going gets rough.I ain't scared of your brother, I ain't scared of no sheets. I ain't scared of nobody when the going gets mean.Protection. For gangs, clubs and nations. Causing grief in human relations. It's a turf war on a global scale. I'd rather hear both sides of the tale See, it's not about races, just places.Faces.Where your blood comes from is where your space is. I've seen the bright get duller. I'm not going to spend my life bein' a color. o/`
>>81820No, but the beauty of it was that it looked, you know, good. Even in the 80's where the Asian animators were on crack 90% of the time, at least it wasn't the bastard child of Transformers and Johnny Test, that's my only point.The story (minus the little girl) was fine enough, but the show looked like trash garbage.
>>81904Oh, I'm sorry. I was under the impression that art was subjective. Can you tell me what else is universally bad and that I should hate while I'm here?
>>81906When did I say that, you butthurt aspie, anon?I said it looks like shit, I'm posting on the internet, I shouldn't have to preface it with "in my opinion", that's a universally understood concept, don't get upset because I think you and your friends are 12 year old Asian children.In fact, I absolutely recall saying, keep your shit out of my shit and we'll be fine.Relax, son.
>>81908That's great, but this thread is my shit, so keep your shit out of it.
>>81908You're the one being awfully hostile here.
>>81911Defense != Offense>>81909Unless you're Crazy Bee, you didn't make this thread, and since I know Crazy Bee, I know you didn't make this thread, but that's cool. You can go be butthurt in your corner now, kid, it's really not that big a deal.
>>81909Your shit?
>>81911He's not really, I know him, if he was upset, half of the people here would be crying. And he may not seem it in text, but he's good people.What people here are seeing as "GEEWON SUPERIOR" is actually "That animation style looks like shit to me, I don't enjoy it." I don't find Animated style unappealing, though I can EASILY see how others would, it took me a while to get used to it.
Also "Those Fuckers, our shit.jpg"perfectly sums this all up.
>>81904>>No, but the beauty of it was that it looked, you know, good. No it didn't.
>>81932I disagree entirely, but this, as we have all said is subjective.
>>81934Continue to be disagreed with. I love G1 but I have those damn dvds and...yeah. Inconsistent animation is inconsistent.
>>81932> Even in the 80's where the Asian animators were on crack 90% of the timeREAD.
>>81936Yeah, I'm not saying it was flawless, but I like the less stylized look, it certainly wasn't bad, not that Animated is, I just felt at times it was overly stylized, both were great in my opinion though I was more heavily invest in Animated due to the story, I like the look of G-1 more.
>>81936I will never, ever get tired of posting this.
>>81961AWESOME!
Xbox demo tomorrow.
ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER, ONE OF THESE THINGS IS A TRANSFORMER.
>>81995weaboo spotted
Are we REALLY having a GEEWUN debate? REALLY?It's like I'm on TFW2005 all over again.Anything with the Transformers brand on it *is* Transformers and just as valid as any other thing. The perceived quality within that is all a matter of personal taste.I love both animated and Beast Machines, and my opinion is just as credible as someone who thinks G1 is the best. But if that person says that anything after G1 is invalid, then they are wrong, and acting rather childish.It's weird that saying this is even NECESSARY. Angry nerds are the worst.
>>81996Oh, and G1 is no more Japanese than Animated is.
So how 'bout them there War for Cybertron?
>>81998No one here is having a Geewun battle.>>81995Okay, maybe this guy is, but it's only him.
>>81999Except for how 90% of the G1 was culled from miscellaneous Japanese toylines.
>>82002 Well everything post season 2 wasnt, so I wouldnt say 90%
>>82003Were there even any new designs after the movie? Seems like they just fought random space monsters until they killed the show.
>>82002But all the series art and uniform aesthetic was created by Habro to make the very distinct toylines look uniform. And all of the Animated toys and designs were joint efforts between Hasbro and Takara.>>82000OH MAN, CANADIAN WAL MARTS ARE HAVING A RELEASE SALE FOR THE GAME AT $39.86 INSTEAD OF $69.99! SO PSYCHED.
>>82005>OH MAN, CANADIAN WAL MARTS ARE HAVING A RELEASE SALE FOR THE GAME AT $39.86 INSTEAD OF $69.99! SO PSYCHED.CANADA, FUCK YEAH!
>>81998Opinions aren't credible. That's why they are opinions.
>>81998Nobody was HAVING that debate, so, congrats.
>>81938Even on crack, you should have a background other then that same rock, over and over again.Not even DBZ had that boring and repetative of scenes.
>>82016But at least they're Transformers looked like they could transform.
>>82017I'll add that I adore animated tho
>>81998Except for Kiss Players.
See what happens when you let GEEWUNNERS in? Thread's just totally gone to shit.
>>82035Why are you still talking about it?We dropped this back when we WEREN'T EVEN TALKING ABOUT IT.The only people here that are angry are the weirdos who get angry at anyone who favors G-1 regardless of reason, like you.So yeah, a lot of G-1 fans are like most other fans, they get angry pointlessly about things that don't jive with their version, but the shoe fits for animated as well given the reaction of people like you.Lets just agree both side have a fair share of weirdos who are pointlessly upset and continue to talk about this game and the fact it's utterly amazing.
>>82037I'm not the one who came in here going "fuck everything that's not G1"
>>82038NO ONE DID THAT.The only person who did anything remotely close to that was this guy:>>81995You are being a Dweeb.
>>82044Well, Crimson Ghost DID say:>Yeah, that's cool, I'll stick with G1, G2, and you faggots can keep your gay shit out of my good shit, and we'll all be happy....but whatever. This thread veered far enough off course to make Cliffjumper jealous.
>>82048He also said:"The story (minus the little girl) was fine enough"His complaint stems from the stylized animation, which though good and consistent gives a bit off an off look to the transformers if you aren't used to it or dislike the style. For him it was too stylized and off to enjoy, I don't agree, but I can certainly understand his stance. And it's not like he was saying G-1 was this bold work of art, just that he found it watchable due to the lack of what some could consider overly stylized animation.>>82048>...but whatever. This thread veered far enough off course to make Cliffjumper jealous.Amen, Now, are we gonna do online together for this since most of us are getting it?
>>82048Exactly. Which means, I don't want you getting your peanut butter in my chocolate, that's all. I just don't like them making a G1-G2-inspired game, and then adding the Animated version of Slipstream instead of... you know... the good one.
>>82051>G1-G2-inspired gameI'd say it's inspired by everything Transformers, even the Bay movies to a certain extent.
>>82051Except there IS no other Slipstream of merit. JustA racecar in a text story whose whole role involved running awayA minicon from the PS2 Armada gameA generic in a 2007 movie comic whose whole role involved running awayAnd TFA Slipstream
>>82051Who's good Slipstream?
>>82051Nostalgia goggles set to MAXIMUM, eh CG?
>>82061They really aren't, he just prefers the G-2 Slipstream, nostalgia has nothing to do with it, think of it like having a favorite Legacy Hero like Blue Beetle and then a video game comes around and doesn't use the one you like.
>>82065There is no G2 Slipstream.
I'm very interested to hear their reasoning as to why Megatron keeps Starscream around.
>>82072
>>82072>Bumblebee being Prime's 2nd in command instead of Ironhide, Jazz, or ProwlThis plot point belongs in a garbage can.
>>82080It didn't say Bumblebee was Optimus' number two, just that he was one of the first that Optimus recruited.
