Unless you also adhere to post Beast Machines canon, which states that there were organic lifeforms on Cybertron before the Autobots and Decepticons. Perhaps dinosaurs were also there?distantmantra said:[nerd mode]Well yeah, but they shouldn't be dinosaurs on Cybertron. They became dinosaurs when they scanned the animals on Earth.[/nerd mode]

I hated Beast Machines
ReaperXL07 said:Thats it!
I had no clue anyone was making a Dino Riders game, honestly I would think that were bigger new than a war for cybertron sequel. I liked WFC, but Dino Riders is coming out of the blue.
Is there any information on whos making it?

Don't listen to this man. I have rewatched it, many times, and it easily stands up as one of the best cartoons of all-time.watership said:Don't watch Beast Wars again. For the sake of your childhood memories.
No I hated the character designs so I decided to skip it.Takao said:Is anyone watching Transformers Prime? That series has gotten crazy good recently. It pulled a pretty decent twistEarth is Unicron.
Sagitario said:So... which ones are the good Transformers games?
TruePrime said:No I hated the character designs so I decided to skip it.
That is an odd twist. Does Primus exist in this universe or no?.
Lol, that is a pretty good twistTakao said:Is anyone watching Transformers Prime? That series has gotten crazy good recently. It pulled a pretty decent twistEarth is Unicron.
Takao said:Primus does exist in this universe.He is the reason Cybertron lives.
TruePrime said:Transformers Armada: Prelude to Energon. Or just called Transfomers in NA and it's on PS2 and based on the Armada anime.
Transformers War For Cybertron.
Honestly to me those are the only two good Transformers games.
TruePrime said:Wait, he is the reason Cybertron lives? As in he isn't Cybertron but an outside source?
Okay fuck my problem with the designs I think I need to watch this show. One last question, Cybertron is fully machine right? None of that Beast Machines nonsense I hope.Takao said:He's Cybertron but it's implied Cybertron existed before he merged with it. Primus and Unicron duked it out for ages, until Primus created the original 13, which finally tipped the sides to his favour. Primus proceeded to create/merge with Cybertron, with Unicron vanishing from their knowledge.

I could barely bring myself to finish the Autobot side and I played and completed the first movie game for 100 Achivs.
I wouldn't know about the MP honestly. The single player was ass and I didn't think there was any need to try MP, plus I'm not the biggest fan of MP, unless it's Co-Op.Dave1988 said:I am. Come at me, bro.
While the SP portion of the game is nothing to write home about, I had a blast playing MP. Sure, it's not as refined as WfC's MP but it was still fun and I guess I'm not the only one who feels the same way since even in 2011 the RoTF community on the PS3 is still active and there's no problem finding a game.
I'm honestly amazed you suffered through Transformers: The Movie. You could say that it's an achievement how terrible everything in that game is.

This comes from a guy who was able to attend a private demo of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron at PAX Prime.
General Notes
Graphics AMAZING. Alpha build looked as good as finished WfC (Ed - War for Cybertron).
More varied settings. Organic-looking planetscape, battlefield of ancient HUGE Transformers - buildings actually decrepit limbs, torso, etc., Cybertron looking really worn down.
Daylight, not all just "deep dark space" backdrop.
Many, MANY more troops on screen at a time. Footage of Optimus in turret holding back hordes of genericons.
Some wide open battlefields as opposed to tight, littered spaces in WfC.
Far more customization in multiplayer: In addition to wider color spectrum, armor parts can be swapped out to change appearance (and possibly abilities and stats, was a point of the focus group) for both robot and vehicle mode.
Abilities matter more in Solo Campaign
Optimus and Megatron both completely overhauled- Optimus slowly evolving toward G1 look with shoulder smokestacks and more windshield-y chest (armored truck vehicle mode a bit like WWI Grimlock, silver stripes), Megatron just becoming sort of demonic. Megatron looks like WfC model with lots of spiky, Dark Energon infused armor (looks a little like Cybertron Megatron), more bulky than WfC version. Vehicle mode looks like silver, black, purple pseudo-clawed cannon tank from hell.
Solo Campaign Notes
Decepticons apparently overrunning Cybertron or whichever planet...
Jazz has own mission at one point, uses MTMTE wrist grappling hook to zip around like Spider-Man from tower to tower.
Jazz uses same model as from WfC multiplayer, more or less.
Shockwave figures into story significantly at least at start.
Grimlock and Dinobots messed with by Shockwave, which is why they already look like dinosaurs instead of vehicles. (Beast Machines looking, asked if look was okay, another point of focus group) Insecticons also a Shockwave experiment.
Grimlock's story starts with Starscream (who apparently has a Decepticon warrant on his head or something like that) accidentally freeing him from a large chamber. Looks like he's not on Cybertron, might be trying to hunt down Shockwave.
Grimlock PLAYABLE.
Grimlock has different play style than others- Almost all melee, using big sword and new matching laser shield. Transforms PAINFULLY from robot to T-Rex, kind of like Banner becoming Hulk, with fiery lighting coming from underneath metal panels as they shift, and changes slower than others.
T-Rex mode looks AWESOME. A lot like G2 version drawn by Yaniger, with two rows of spikes running along back. Uses modern T-Rex stance. Barb on tail, looks like diamond drillbit. Moves include firebreath, tailwhip, and capable of stomping and chomping guys. Also, bigger than most every Autobot.
"Last Prime" is the only one who can activate Metroplex. Prime racing to Metroplex core reminiscent of Tidal Wave exploration in Armada game. No info on reason for activation, except possibly to stomp incoming armies.
Metroplex HUGE, looks a lot like Studio OX depiction- not as different as other WfC overhauls.
Metroplex PLAYABLE. STEPS ON DECEPTICON ARMIES, CARRIES HIS HUGE RIFLES.
All five Combaticons playable. Onslaught and Brawl a given, Vortex shown in Cybertron helicopter mode dodging lots of shots then dropping right into a group of Autobots and firing away. No Blast Off gameplay shown.
All five Combaticons FORM BRUTICUS. Combination quite awesome- All five jump out of Decepticon air carrier, Brawl and Swindle first, forming legs before they hit the ground, Onslaught lands on them as he forms torso, then Vortex and Blast-Off fly straight into the arm sockets one after another and head pops out. VERY awesome.
Bruticus PLAYABLE. Shown stomping through bridges and defenses to breach Autobot base.
In at least one mission, Prime can call down orbital strikes- may actually be delayed shots from Metroplex, hard to tell, but big explosion, very impressive.
Promo Art Shown
Optimus in front, Grimlock in T-Rex mode towering behind him to the right, with Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave coming out of a vortex sky on the left. Optimus always in revised body, Megatron in old one in these.
Same Decepticon backdrop with M, St, Sh, but with Prime on the right holding Bumblebee who has a big smoking hole in his chest and blacked out eyes.
Grimlock in T-Rex mode wrecking the hell out of an Insecticon hive thing from the inside, with a swarm of Bombshells, Shrapnels, and Kickbacks coming for him.
Just a big closeup of Optimus in new body staring at you.
One really stunning picture of the graveyard with unknown Transformer standing on a HUGE half-buried hand staring out on a field of other "buildings".

Not sure if I like the change to the health bar and co-op being dropped sucks, but the rest of it sounds cool.Speedymanic said:Some interesting info that popped up on G.E...
I thought Megatron was fine, I had a much bigger issue with most side Autobots and Decepticons as far as VA goes.DeaconKnowledge said:Just bought WFC last week on the 7.50 deal.
Amazing graphics (The architecture alone is stunning and the worlds are massive) but as a Transfan (Terrible name..) I can't look past killing generic ass robots and the off VA, particularly from Megatron. You sprung for Peter Cullen, you couldn't get Welker too?
Also, a big fuck you to those of you that don't like or frankly didn't grow up with Transformers.
Hate it. Absolutely hate it. It was completely devoid of personality. Welker has a swagger to him that goes well with the character. It was totally lost on this Megs.TruePrime said:I thought Megatron was fine, I had a much bigger issue with most side Autobots and Decepticons as far as VA goes.
