I mean this game looks awesome and I will absolutely buy it, but I was just hoping their new game to be revealed at E3 was MGR2... Oh well.
Well...
It was the name of a comic story/arc years ago
Yup, 100%, and Devastation is a good name, but......
Take a look at the spelling that Best Buy used in their item description. It's a typo, but I got a kick out of it.

Transforming machines, son.
I'm cautiously optimistic. I hope they were given the time/budget to do this right.

I loved the High Moon Cybertron series, but this has a lot of potential. Day one.
Well he's become akin to Uncle Dante in the comics right now
(Please do excuse the art, and yes, he did make a spacecarft modeled after his head)
fuck yeah the Rod Pod
Also, this game's art style really reminds me of the old Dreamwave TF comics.

I can just imagine the crazy Optimus Prime combos they put in, it'll make the moves that the animated movie Prime pulled off look like child's play.

I hope it's good and worth a full retail release and not just Korra length with Activision being Activision and making it retail because they know it'll at least sell to Platinum fans.
Korra was good but needed a bigger budget and more dev time so it ended up with simple level designs and a lot of recycled enemies and from the shots so far it looks like this will have limited enemy variations.

To my knowledge only Metro, Trypt and Omega Supreme have been featured in Transformers games, none of them playable and all of them appropriately massive (compared to your characters, also Transformers) and lumbering. So it still lines up with what I was saying.
Eh, I doubt any of the toys creator realized or gave a shit about what size a space shuttle is, let alone kids (and that includes me). "It looks like a plane, it must be about as big as a plane... which itself can't be much bigger than a truck".
Or how powerful. Remember how he single-handledly crushed the entire Decepticon army in his comic debut, including megatron? Remember how he is later one shotted by Laserbeak? Good times...
triple edit: anyone who can figure out this guy wins the thread
That's Broadside; a couple friends of mine included it in their podcast (like a decade ago) about the worst 10 Transformers of all time; to this date we don't know if it's supposed to be able to land on itself or what. I've also always loved this:

I think he meant "figure him out" as in how he can be both a plane and a full size air craft carrier. Vast size difference. Even worse than Megatron turning into a gun.

That's literally the Transformer equivalent of a Gobot.
What about Soundwave, Blaster, Perceptor or any of the cassettes?
Plus, even Devastator magically gains a bunch of mass.

So, now we know that Platinum is working on Scalebound and this game.
How are the chances they're also developing a third game?

I think it could be possible. I'm not sure what sort of changes to team distribution went on, but at one point it looked like they had a team for Bayo 2, a team for Korra, and a team for W101/Scalebound. It's possible that some parts of their bigger teams broke off to form the Korra team. And that potentially leaves enough for them to be developing another game alongside Scalebound, like they did with W101. It all depends on the actual scope of this Transformers game though, I've been assuming it's closer in size to Korra than their other games.

Naughty Dog has 250 people. SCE Santa Monica has like 200 developers. Each is basically bound to one full production AAA game for PS4/XB1 at a time.
Platinum is lucky to have this second game in development given they have Scalebound hitting full production now. It was much easier last generation.
OH GOD if this was a new take on the Anarchy Reigns design, this would be the best thing ever created.
Yeah Scalebound could be eating up a lot of their resources, but there was a statement that Microsoft were chipping in to do a lot of the grunt work. Maybe it was enough to free up another team? The apparent news that this new game isn't just a $20 downloadable says otherwise though.
I'm not sure. They might not even be talking about combos you can loop. Maybe it's God Hand style combo customisation? The whole thing is worded kind of weirdly though. It doesn't seem very official.

Ah I see. Yeah, that's also what I meant with whether it is supposed to be able to land on itself. I don't know what it is that makes (or made) us perfectly OK with a 5 meter robot turning into a 30 cm. gun or a 2 cm. bug, but not with a robot having two differently sized alt modes... but the thing is, it does feel that much more ridiculous, for some reason.
