G1 transformers game made by Platinum... Day 1!
Between this and that Toy Soldiers game getting He Man and GI Joe, I'm going to be revisiting my childhood this fall.

SPOILERS: The fight will be an unwinnable one where you have to die to Megatron so Hasbro can sell you new toys.

Michael Bay?
I was going to say this exact thing. I can't believe this game has been made!

Disappointing to see Platinum doing another licensed game, but this is a retail release and a Transformers title with cell shaded graphics using G1 designs! I adore Platinum so I guess I'm in, I just hope Activision doesn't screw this up. It will be the first game published by them that I've bought in 10 years (the last one being GUN for PS2).
There's a reason I said "the first" and not "the only".

I don't watch Transformers.
Mah, Japan. I have a booklet somewhere where this sucker is advertised like there is no tomorrow.
Super funny.
If this is full budget, then Platinum + Transformers is actually a pretty perfect fit, and this could be incredible. I'm not the biggest Transformers fan, so this was kind of a let down at first. I also thought Korra was a big let down and thought this could be similar. And yeah, I still wish this was a different project. But the more I think about this, the more I think this could be amazing. Also for Transformer fans, this could be a dream come true.

If Insectacons are DLC, it will be the best game of the year.

Dream come true announcement! Since anything can happen it seems, next I hope we get a Vampire Hunter D action game by Platinum.

the correct term is devastate devastator man
Maybe they'll be mobs like in revenge of bruticus
Word. I can't wait to see some gameplay; especially gameplay for Grimlock.

See
Think positive people.
Why do few people here not see the awesomeness in punching Devestator in the face?
This is greatness
Man, you took one of the better examples too, a picture from the movie.
But yeah, it looks more like what I glimpsed of the comics, and objectively it's way better to play a game that looks like THAT than something that's truly faithful to the cartoons. That, on the other hand, could've been morbidly fascinating to recreate accurately.
It seems odd that they wouldn't do a PC release. Do we know how well PC Korra sold compared to the console versions? Can't imagine it was so bad that they wouldn't do the same arrangement this time around.

I'm excited for this. I wonder if they can get the same voice actors for those other than Optimus (I'm assuming they'll get Peter Cullen).
MGR sold well though.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
It's fucking Activision they don't care about PC or they would have put Destiny on there.

As a lover of both Transformers and Platinum Games it's extremely disappointing they aren't bringing it to PC. Oh well, guess I'll put my hopes on MGR2 coming to PC.

It is baffling to me how much negativity there is in this thread. Game looks fantastic and I don't even care about transformers. Shame I don't have a console to run it.
Yes. Welker is in too. The voice for BB as well. (from the OP)
Having the OG voices is another big selling point for me.
Knee jerk reaction.
My first thought was to be let down because I'm not a transformers fan, and I wanted a different Platinum project. I also thought it was going to be like Korra, a small budget license game which was rushed out and was a let down.
But after reflecting on it, I think posters (like myself) will realize this could be amazing. And Platinum + Transformers is actually a great fit. And this could be HUGE for Transformers fans. Not everything is about what you want. I get being disappointed this isn't the project you hoped for. I still want something else. But I can be happy for others and see the positives and how this could be a great project that is very successful.

bad: After the tease several months back, MGR2 was most likely canned within the Konami fallout recently.
bad>good (although admittedly, that has less to do with the transformers game itself)
Pretty much. MGR2 was dead the moment Kojima left.

Yes. Unless for some reason the price listing is absurdly incorrect, I'm on board for this after reflecting on it. As long as it's a full Platinum game with all their polish, and not a side project, I'll be excited.
Now to wonder if this is PS4 exclusive and if I'll have to buy a PS4.
It's a good thing Platinum's GOT THE TOUCH
HYPE. Hoping for Multiplat
The Touch needs to be a boss theme. YOU SIR HAVE GREAT IDEAS

Like I said in the other thread about this game earlier today, it looks spectacular so far. The art style is spot on, and the fact that they're utilizing many of the original voice actors from the cartoon puts this over the top. I'm already looking forward to finding out more about this game. I hope they're showing it off at E3, as I'd love to see some videos of the game in action.

I really like the art style, honestly.
This HAS to be in the game. Last boss fight music.

Yea...still not this game's fault. At least hate it if not for having the greatest Autobot of all Rodimus Prime.
Hype would be unreal. I already freaked out (in the best fucking way) when the song played in Shadow Warrior
Edit: Does Activision still hold the Spidey license? Could..a.. Platinum Games Spiderman game actually happen?
