Platinum Games, the developer behind Transformers: Devastation, spent a lot of time trying to match each character’s personality with a complementary fighting style. Bumblebee, for example, attacks faster than any other Autobot, but he sacrifices a fair amount of power. And Wheeljack’s mechanical ingenuity translates into an attack pattern that centers on ranged weapons.

Along with their individual sense of style and timing, every character also has his own set of unique moves and mechanics. So, just because you’ve mastered Optimus Prime’s combos doesn’t mean that Grimlock will be a cakewalk. We wanted to give gamers a peek into this unique combat system, so we’ve put together a handful of highlight reels for each character. Check it out above.

Preorder bonus

Aside from the five playable Autobots, anyone who pre-orders Transformers: Devastation will get a trio of specialized character skins. So, if names like Nemesis Prime, Red Alert, and Goldfire make you giggle like an excited little kid, you may want to spend a little time on the PlayStation Store.

• The Dark Star Saber is a fiercely intimidating blade that radiates waves of dark energy with every swing.
• The Photon Disruptor is an incredibly powerful, shotgun-style weapon that has a short range but deals huge amounts of area damage.
• The twin Golden Hunter is a pair of blaster pistols that causes enemies to drop credits when attacked.

.

I'll get this game eventually....

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Everything about this is beautiful.

 

[flattie]

Shit. That looks so good. Just forced its way on to my radar!

So, is this a full on action adventure game like Bayonetta and MGR; or is it just an arena battle type affair?

I'm the opposite. Care fuck all about Platinum, but the Transformers were all my childhood self could think about for a time.

 

[NickatNite]

Looking good.
Might be the first PlatinumGame I pick up since MadWorld.

 

[Peff]

Shit. That looks so good. Just forced its way on to my radar!

By all accounts it's the closest thing to MGR2 we'll get. What they've shown of the levels (first chapter mostly) is a bit plain when it comes to level design but there are collectibles and other obstacles besides enemies.

 

[Teknoman]

There is a train stage.

 

[Toki767]

Man...that Grimlock! Looking good Platinum.

 

[MadSol]

Been so long I forgot about Insecticons, love the old school Transformers.

 

[Defect]

Okay, this looks great.

 

[Jolkien]

Combat doesn't look like anything from Transformer G1 but it looks amazing. Day 1

 

[bananafactory]

So is there a story or is this just a fighting game?

 

[Nibel]

I don't give a shit about Transformers, but fuck: this is the best looking game they are currently working on. Looks like megatrons of fun

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I'm just hoping this game sells well. But all I want in this is Beast Wars DLC

 

[Vital Tundra]

Wait, no PC?

 

[Bor]

man, amazon.de has ist for 60€ on ps4 and 20€ on pc, wtf. why is there such a huge price difference?

 

[Grimsen]

Those alt skins though.

 

[Toxi]

So is there a story or is this just a fighting game?

There is a story.

 

[Pop]

Can't wait

It's like I'm stepping back in time

 

[Novocaine]

I am pretty much convinced that this will be my GOTY, every new trailer makes it more so.

 

[StrangeTaco]

man, amazon.de has ist for 60€ on ps4 and 20€ on pc, wtf. why is there such a huge price difference?

Placeholder values likely.

 

[le.phat]

just Ps3/Ps4 ??

 

[robot]

I say god damn! god damn...

Edit: The official site has it listed for PC, PS3/4, XB360/1

 

[biteren]

aww was hoping for Drift DLC character, oh well, im still down

 

[Vital Tundra]

I say god damn! god damn...

Edit: The official site has it listed for PC, PS3/4, XB360/1

Oh sweet.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

just Ps3/Ps4 ??

No, it's also coming to PC, XB1, and 360.

I'm so ready for this game.

 

[FireSol]

Me Grimlock not "nice dino". Me mash brains!!!!

 

[Shaanyboi]

Fuck. Yes.

Also just a reminder that the Splatoon Splatfest is Autobots vs. Decepticons....

 

[oRuin]

Love me some G1

 

[Tecl0n]

i have a strange feeling imma like this

 

[NastyBook]

Grimlock bringing that HEAT.

 

[Omega Kirby]

i have a strange feeling imma like this

 

[oti]

Transformers are super lame but this looks cool.

 

[Pinko Marx]

And people doubted this.

 

[Gleethor]

Can you freely transform in this game or is it part of attacks only? The art style and animation looks fantastic but the gameplay seems...very non-transformers and a little repetitive.

 

[oddjobs]

goddamn this looks good! really, really hope this does good enough that there might be room for sequels - there is a shitload of potential in the franchise afterall.

 

[Tizoc]

So is there a story or is this just a fighting game?

If you want actual TF story go read the comics.
This is the usual fare of Autobots battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons.

Pre-orders don't sound all that as I don't know care for many of those 'bots mentioned :/

Now if this had Skids, that'd be a different story.

 

[MasterCheeze]

Damn, gameplay lookin' good. Have they mentioned how many playable characters are planned? Decepticons are playable too I'm assuming?

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Game looks great! Grimlock alone looks awesomely fun!

 

[fastballspecial]

Sweet mother of mercy.

Character skins... I'm gonna faint.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Holy shit, did Optimus just go into Witch Time in that trailer? I love Platinum.

 

[VeryGooster]

Yep. Getting this down the road.

 

[iMAGINATION]

This actually looks really good! Not what I was expecting at all.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Wonder if exclusive, and only available through digital? I rather have physical copy.

Hopefully we don't go getting more exclusive skins for every platform garbage.

 

[Suzzopher]

There has never been a game I've wanted more.

 

[vagabondarts]

This looks so amazing... like what I always imagined a Transformers game could be.

 

[Shang]

Don't get me wrong, this looks fucking AWESOME, but I'm worried that this is all there is to it. Fighting is fun (especially when Platinum does it), but that and nothing else gets old fast.
