Oh fuck me, was that Metroplex there at the end?
That's pretty metal right there. Please let this be good. And I'm not talking just "adequate" like the PS2 Armada game, I mean "really good".
Seriously though, I hope this is good. I really want to play a fun Transformers game.

Add me!
Someone should make a G1 game with the Borderlands art filter on it. That would look great.
Borderlands doesn't use a "filter"
But yes that's just about the best idea I've ever heard

I liked the Movie DS games
Omega Fucking Supreme
Who's apparently a giant boss battle in the Decepticon campaign.
I think it's Omega
the hand and size made me think so
Tidal Wave was only in Armada
they could do a Broadside-Scorponok/Trypticon fight, that'd work
Edit: Also, fuck whoever posted the Beast Wars PSX game. I had that blocked out of my memory and you make it rush back. That piece of shit turned me into the grumpy cynic I am today.
Hey what's up with Starscream not being listed yet one of the other seekers there instead? That seems odd unless ol Screamer is going to pull another back stab ploy that is his specialty.
The PS2 Transformers game was good, it had it's flaws (rag doll physics for robots?!) but they did have some very awesome fan service with the lines Megatron and Optimus says in the opening scene. The minicons while stupid in the show and all did prove to be a good updating system for a game which was surprising.
My only big fear for this game is how much shall be forced into DLC territory, especially for other bots? I could see them ass raping people over that and sorry but I'm one of those people that believes DLC to be for the most part BS so I don't touch the stuff. Too bad games in the future are going to be nickle and dime transactions. Pfft.
And thank god this isn't that Bay shit.
Well, it's Activision, so... yeah. Money is the primary goal, fun is maybe somewhere in the top 5.
I've been hoping for a game like this for the past twenty years.
I would like to put in my Pro vote:
3DS FC: 4699-5714-8940 Playing Pokemon, add me! Ho, SATAN!
Also
The only logical bot for the job.
YES. A THOUSAND TIMES YES.

I heard it was hard and had really clunky controls, but the shear amount of playable characters would probably cause me to like it anyways.
Edit: I have no idea why the second video uses the American names for the characters when the game supposedly was only released in Japan. Also, apparently that guy hasn't even unlocked all the characters yet.

It was very bad, granted they had a lot of bots to pick from but most of it was played the same way, it was repetitive big time with little difference in the bots you destroyed. The stages were ugh and the controls sucked.
The AVGN did some reviews on past TF games
Go watch that for a laugh and know that his gimmick is he tears apart games even if he likes them, so don't take everything he says too serious okay.
But yeah those games were horrible, I mean having to defeat the decepticon symbol or anything? Yeaaaaaaaaaah.
Funny that both the US and Japan got their own exclusive TF games, with ours apparently being better-- even though it was based on Armada.
Speaking of bad Japan-only games, I'm sure we all know about Ultra Magnus in Transformers: The Mystery of Convoy for the Famicom, but what of its sequel, Transformers: The Headmasters?

Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!
Where did you find that list? They're going kind of obscure there! Not only the expected classics, but Headmasters, Monsterbots, Horrorcons...
And Trypticon is definitely in, because Full-Tilt was the car that came with him.
Don't get too excited: Call of the Future was complete shit.
Fucking hell. I thought that was the list for War for Cybertron.
I almost want a Super Mario Galaxy styled thing, like the Megaleg boss fight
Other stuff from the press release:
"For the first time, Hasbro is working with Activision to drive the TRANSFORMERS fiction forward into new story arcs, demonstrating pivotal moments in Transformers history that defined who they are," said Aaron Archer, Senior Design Director, Hasbro. "This remarkable video game helps us to tell a critical event in TRANSFORMERS lore that will be used as canon for future storylines in a way we could have only dreamed of a few years ago. It is a testament to the success of the TRANSFORMERS brand and a key element to the story we look forward to telling in 2010 and beyond."
Transformers: War for Cybertron features two distinct storylines: the AUTOBOT campaign tells a story of heroism to save their home planet against overwhelming odds, and the DECEPTICON campaign tells a story of an unquenchable thirst for power to control the universe. For the first time in a TRANSFORMERS title, fans will be able to play the game with their friends through team-based online co-op, or go head to head in a variety of intense, online multiplayer game modes. The game features a sci-fi art style that introduces fans to the entire living, metallic world of CYBERTRON, as well as all-new visualisations of the iconic TRANSFORMERS characters in their original Cybertronian forms.

i was pleased to hear you can transform at will, and that the shooting is in an over-the-shoulder angle like RE4 or gears. the guns are also standard shooter fare, like shotguns, rifles and the like. also, flying characters will have stages designed for them, where they will require you to fly upward and along platforms to advance and fight off enemies, it's sounds pretty fun.
another cool thing is the 'perks' specific to each bot, apparently some will be able to drop turrets, heal team mates, or generate ammo along with other unknown perks. these will play into the multiplayer, which is supposed to be pretty fleshed out in this game (though not much is known yet)
also co-op is confirmed, at least 2 bots followed the player in the demo they played, usually the characters not chosen played by AI. hopefully they can get up to 4 players, which sounds completely amazing. i'm getting more excited for this the more i learn, so here's hoping it turns out good.
