This I can get on board with. Id be able to look past some of the obvious shortcuts if they weren't voyager sized.

Why does every site redesign comes with blobs of unused space? People know they invent transparencies at the beginning of time, right? You can put text over other things. You can put the word "search" inside the search box and it disappears when you click in it. Oh you did. Oh you need to tell us Search, Search this website, Search. Thanks. I'd never have known.

This is my opinion too. Not because I believe it, I just want to convince myself not to spend $150 on a Transformer I'm not particularly fond of. Also it should have been Deluxes. Though I would also kill for a set of those in Legends scale.

Also Ratchet, and Brawn, and Tracks, Hound, Powerglide, Prowl, Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod... gently caress it, just give me everyone. Sell me all the DLC. I'll get it.
I'm hoping for a Decepticon campaign DLC. Seems like all the Autobots are going to play pretty much the same, all being wheeled land vehicles, except for Grimlock who will hopefully get some good stompy action. Give me some jets, gestalts, and big flying guns. And a tape player I guess. I realize you could get almost all those things as Autobots, but really I just want an excuse to play as Decepticons and blast some fleshlings.

I want this game to have a multiplayer VS. mode ala Anarchy Reigns, but I'm pretty sure that isn't going to be within the scope of the game. :smith:

I basically just want a game where you can do big online multiplayer Autobot vs. Decepticon battles, set on earth (and other locales like Cybertron and Quintessa) and they go "gently caress it" and have like, everybody playable. War\Fall of Cybertron scratched that itch to a degree, but I'd love something that keeps adding new characters and content as time goes on like an MMO.

It would be cool to see something like DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 or Marvel vs. Capcom 2 where they're like "gently caress it, forget balancing this poo poo at all, sure it's broken as hell, just throw in everybody ever and make a gigantic Transformers murder simulator. You want a playable Omega Supreme or Trypticon? Yeah, gently caress it. Megatron turning into a gun or Soundwave a tape player doesn't make sense from a game design standpoint? Whatever, just do it, man."

You know what would be a rad final boss, for a Platinum game, if Megatron was in his gun mode, and was being passed around to the different combiners, and you had to fight him while all the decepticon combiners were trying to stop you, and the one with Megatron was just blasting at you.

"The entire history of this incarnation is one of temporal orbits, retcons, paradoxes, parallel time lines, reiterations, and divergences. How anyone can make head or tail of all this chaos, I don't know."

How great would an '86 movie game be in that style? You've got your set pieces/levels. The battle for Autobot City, play as Hot Rod, Kup, Springer or Arcee, then as Optimus when he arrives. Quintessia, the Planet of Junk, Moonbase 2, inside Unicron, etc. intersperse it with bits of the movie done in the same cel-shaded style.

Not that I'm aware. Though I'm sure it will happen sooner rather than later.

Yeah, sorry. It felt clear at the time. :)

I just want to chime in on the CW Magnus love. It has a few too many holes for my liking (as opposed to hollow bits, which I've made peace with). But it's the most Magnus-feeling Magnus I've seen so far, even more so than the MP. Like everyone, I wish he could hold his weapons, but I think I can fix it.

It's very suspicious that nothing MP has been based on IDW.

No, the Masterpiece line is for nostalgia nerds, like that Platinum game*. Rung was not on a moderately successful '80s anime show, we will not be seeing him.

Unfortunately. :(
