What could possibly go wrong?

You're doing it wrong, you should've said "Wii U getting sequel to Fall of Cybertron, set in same continuity"
This. It's inspired by the Bayverse as well, so yeah...
Visually it's inspired, but if you've seen the show it's nothing like the Bay universe of films at all.

The show is fantastic, by the way, for anyone who hasn't seen it. Won't count on the game being the same, though.
Dont get excited for this one

I think Animated was far better written, unfortunately.
I've seen it but I still think it kind of blows. Only good things about it are Welker and Cullen.

I didn't know this game was made by two Japanese outsourcing studios. Not expecting much at all from this given what these studios' have developed before (it's mostly B-titles, though Now Productions have made some ok puzzle/language games). If this speaks for what Activision is intending to bring mostly to Wii U I can't say I'm a happy camper.

Agreed, Prime is OK, but I personally prefer Animated a lot more.
Personal ranking of TF animated series: Beast Wars>Animated>Prime
If the 3DS ver. is good I'll recommend it to my friend since he has a 3DS/
No, it can't be, because I actually like the mecha design in this one.
I've never actually seen the show, just judging off the screenshot in the OP

Yay?
Prime is pretty good, it got a lot of flak for being close to the Bayverse but it turned out pretty darn good. Anyone in doubt should just give the intro arc, Darkness Rising and Orion Pax episodes a watch and you should be pleasantly surprised.
Transformers Animated was sooooo good i almost cried when it was cancelled. It was one giant fanservice after another to G1. What made it great though was it didn't need the fanservice to be good, the writing and storyline was so great on its own and the toys kicked ass.

Bite your tongue. The show is amazing.
It's also a direct continuation to War/Fall of Cybertron and set in the same Universe, along with the Bay movies and The Transformers Exodus/Exiles novels.
Not liking your increasing negativity towards the Wii U schuelma.
I recall reading and hearing that the War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron both factored into the backstory for the Transformers Prime show. If that is true I wonder how much will be presented in the new game and if it will have influence on the quality of the game.
Also Transformers Prime is a pretty well done show in terms of story and characterizations. Don't let the designs put you off. The "kiddy" Transformers show is the Transformers: Rescue Bots show that also airs.

He has a point. We have barely seen anything from the two biggest third party publishers and tt also doesn't help that the biggest games they have this fall seem to be neglecting the WiiU. I mean, It could turn out differently but it doesn't give people much hope so far.
Western third-party support, LOL. Sigh.
Why'd you bump it? Was it mentioned during one of the Nintendo presentations today? Is it still a 3DS up port?
Not a looker this one ...

It looks like an up-gunned Wii game, which is what it is, I guess.

Looks a definite port up. The source material is good though, so its not impossible that it'd be enjoyable.

Looks like the next gen equivalent of Cruisin' Wii.
