I really like Chip's vague recollections of the original series. Like Megatron jumping into a mystical mountain to become Leonard Nimoy.

I'm glad that Galvatron is a voyager instead of leader. He seems quite chunky too, which I like.

I just hope it doesn't mean that Megatron's going back on being an Autobot. I mean I figured it was going to happen at some point, because Hasbro, but I'm not ready for it yet.

Yeah yeah yeah. How about some Scotch whiskey? You got any of that around here, or just a bunch of nonsense words?

I've asked before and I'm asking again. How do I just direct deposit my paychecks with Hasbro? Or do they have a convenient hole in a wall somewhere I can just shove all the money in? This will save a lot of time.

Probably not, because in IDW, Megatron and Galvatron are separate characters.

Everyone's Playing!

So I've only played a little bit of Devastation last night on my 360, and I'm still getting used to the controls. I also keep getting all these weapons, it seems, but I can't figure out how to customize anybody. Do you have to play through the first level as each character before you get to tweak anything?

Also, I saw online that at least a couple of folks besides me had gotten bum preorder codes from Game Stop. Is it common to have a delayed activation date for codes like that for some reason?

And how is XBone as far as loading screens? Optimus vs. Devastator was annoying because every time I lost, I had to pause for 20 seconds before starting again.

He's saying it's so bad he feels sorry for you just being involved. It's like a pig farm fire, you might be far away, but the stink still gets on you. And you can't unhear the squealing.

Personally I think it looks like HTS borrowed the WoTC digital wing, ie, the worst programmers in seattle club.

Yep, and he waged a one man ethnic cleansing to slaughter the headmasters during his Galvatron the Barbarian years.

overlord? no one said his tank part couldn't be long and skinny.

Oh wait, I get it. It's Astrotrain, he turns into an Astro and a Train. But he doesn't triple change and it's still a bullet train. Unexciting.

Still maybe future titans will also be combiners that aren't quadriplegics and four limbs. Could be neat.

Well that head really looks like Powermaster Prime.

Sentinel Prime looks good, a bit too Cybertronian for my tastes for Astrotrain (barring a substantial remold), but as it is it looks awesome. Almost Jhiaxian orange.

wait I didn't notice he's actually a triple changer, must be lack of sleep. Well that's kinda neat but I'd prefer a steam train and this is getting further from that, though at least this is cooler than his last appearance.

My first gut reaction was Omega Supreme, but that was probably just the colors talking.

I really hope that there's a third party upgrade kit that is just battle armor that turns into a chair for Megatron.

Why did they color Sentinel prime like Fire Guts Ginrai?

Why did they give him Astrotrain's body?

Like I can't think of a good reason for Sentinel Prime to have spaceship train mode. Like why does he need to be a choochoo, what purpose would that serve sentinel prime?


So many questions.

I dunno trains are a very limited and specific means of transportation. You would think this all powerful dude would have something that's more fitting like going from spaceship to massive tank or LAV or something.

You have to complete the first chapter to be able to customize and upgrade weapons and stats.

Okay technically they never called him Sentinel Prime in G1 but that dude was Optimus' immediate predecessor so it's probably the same guy. In the script he's apparently called "U-Haul Robot".

So far it looks like he could be Astrotrain, Broadside, Omega Supreme and Rodimus Prime, just by this thread.

I do like how his flying mode is basically the Ark. And he has some mad splits going on in Train mode.

Sentinel Prime has some goofy loving back-feet. I'm hoping he's just mistransformed and he doesn't actually have legs like that.

That looks almost like Loudmouth's vehicle.

So what are the chances that the third part to the trilogy is pretenders? They did combiners, Titan's Return is headmasters, powermasters and action masters, and they're not going to throw beast wars at us.

Each end of his feet form the nosecone to the shuttle ore the engine to his train. His feet are going to stay like that.
