A medic robot that can only transform into a leg being called Ambulon is kinda great.

Also, not being a Transformers nerd, I can tell just from what's been linked in this thread that the Transformers wiki is a deeply thorough and dedicated labour of love, and a hefty percentage of that wiki is dumb absurd unbelievable poo poo.

Yeah,those are both hilarious. I also like the Predaking one,mostly because the captions remind me of Beowulf or something along those lines.

Edit: I am a dumb. It's actually from The Hobbit,AKA the one Tolkien book I didn't read. Mostly because the movies put me off of it.

The book of the Hobbit is a lot better than the movies.

IMO it's better than the LotR books as well, though it's tough to compare them. Hobbit is a children's story, and LotR is an epic with a much bigger scope.

I remember sitting awake throughout the night on my bed when I was seven or eight, on a school night, devouring The Hobbit just in time to go to school and sleep through most of the day. Ruined my sleep for a week. To my great nerd shame, I find Tolkein way too dry now.

One of the first books I remember is Hobbit. Me and my brother on dad's lap as he read to us and we happily pointed out words we recognized like "the".

At least the tune's catchy.

Oh, and to maybe trigger some memories about all those big fighting robots I started to watch the War for Cybertron vids. Coolguye, RoboKy, could you please fiddle around with the settings for episode 6 Defend Iacon a bit? Youtube is pretty adamant about it not being available in my country, for no further declared reasons.

Is there any kind of backstory to this game or just '80's cartoon the game, you'll figure it out'?

Technically yes,but the game basically exists to set up the Combiner Wars Storyline. Or so I've heard,anyway.

Bakshi is incredible. I once had the brilliant idea to watch it while running a 102F fever and it was great.

I could talk shop about animation all day (Bakshi was one of a few animators who had the freedom to be an artist, which is part of the problem- he got to make anything no matter how puerile or politically complicated) which is why I'll stand by transformers animated, haters be damned, very few things in Transformers have been simultaneously well animated and at least decently written.

No I don't mean making the noise. One of the purchased abilities lets you enter a rush at the end of a combo. It's basically this games Red Hot 100.

Oh boy, Devastation! Love this game. I always thought the guns were lame and only useful for potshotting distant enemies, then I saw the 1 armed speedrun of the game.
I'm not sure if it requires something like a move upgrade, but I distinctly recall there being an awesome QTE in the Devastator fight in the latest episode. Am I misremembering?

I have distant memories of G1 reruns airing long after the original show had ended, so I enjoy seeing all the classic stuff, but I'm still a Beast Wars lover at heart. But the only Transformers series I earnestly watched after the 2000s was... Energon.
It was so stupid and bad. I just couldn't stop watching.

Also, blanking. Did Roboky show off that you Parry Devastator's drill missile and then throw it right back at him?

Also you can't hear some of it too well in the videos, but the OST is in this game is good.

Listen to the Megatron battle theme.

I didn't have Parry at the time and when I bought it, it didn't actually save it after I did! THANKS GAME.

A new character added to the characters section, you can probably tell who it is.

Just a short video this week cause at the time I was struggling with the flu. I'm wrong about a few things for Wheeljack but I mostly put that down to a combination of me still being flu'd up at the time and also just not ever really using him much.
