TECHNICAL DATA AND STATUS
There are two types of character stats – your STATUS and your TECHNICAL DATA
• Your TECHNICAL DATA shows each Autobot’s key attributes – these stats increase as you gain experience by completing missions and defeating enemies.
• You can spend credits to level up any TECHNICAL DATA stat of your choosing. To do this, enter the Ark and choose STATUS, then select the stat you’d like to increase and press (Y/Triangle)
• CAPSULES are sometimes dropped by enemies or found in chests, and you can use them to boost a stat permanently (the capsule is consumed when used).
• Your STATUS values show your raw attributes, such as health, melee attack power, and defense.
These cannot be raised directly, but increase along with your TECHNICAL DATA
STATUS EFFECTS
There are a variety of status effects in the game, and some weapons have a
chance to apply status effects to enemies, while others are only applied to
the autobots or enemies. The full list of status effects is shown below:
Burn - Temporarily take gradual damage
Shock - Temporarily become unable to move or attack
Freeze - Temporarily become unable to move or attack
Stuck - Temporarily become unable to move or attack
Slow - Temporarily move much more slowly than usual
Rust - Defense lowered temporarily
Confuse - Enemies temporarily attack other enemies
Weak - Attack power lowered temporarily
Stun - Temporarily become unable to move or attack
Transfix - Temporarily unable to change form
WEAPONS
• There are a total of four weapon slots – one can only contain a melee weapon, one can only contain a ranged weapon, and the other two are “free” slots that can contain either.
• There are two key types of melee weapons – Physical-based weapons and Energon-based weapons.
• Physical-based weapons have a base attack stat and depending on the weapon, an element-based attack stat.
• Energon-based weapons have a third “Energon” attack stat, which causes the weapon to apply extra damage when the weapon has energy. Weapon energy depletes when you attack, and when you run out you no longer
inflict the additional damage from your energon attack stat.
A character’s maximum stats are increased when the Magnus or Prime difficulty levels are unlocked. Prior to that, the game stores all experience points earned in a bank that is applied retroactively when the difficulty is unlocked. If your stats suddenly increase, it means you’ve unlocked a higher difficulty level and received those banked experience points.

6. How come Grimlock can only equip one TECH chip?
An Autobot’s RNK stat affects how many TECH chips they can equip. Each Autobot is affected differently by the RNK stat, however, and Grimlock is affected the least by RNK of any Autobot. He’ll need to raise his RNK stat to 99 before he can equip more than one chip.
A few notes about the synthesis process that may not be immediately obvious:

A few notes about the synthesis process that may not be immediately obvious:
- A weapon’s rank is set at weapon creation and cannot be changed through synthesis. This rank will determine the maximum damage for the weapon. If your base weapon’s damage does not increase after synthesis, that means it is at the highest possible damage for its rank.
- If the base weapon and the second weapon have the same ability at the same level, there is a chance that the ability’s level may increase after synthesis.
- Weapon synthesis is not free. The cost in credits is determined by the base weapon’s rank and is automatically deducted from your wallet at each synthesis attempt.

I'm pre-ordering this for PC as soon as I get out of class today. Platinum Games and Transformers!? Yeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss!
It's worth mentioning that a LOT of the OG voice actors are back for this. All hail Frank Welker Megatron!
Double best because Transformers Prime had good writers that gave him awesome lines to say.
That's the thing I'm most excited about. Platinum games is great and all, but having most of the OG voice actors back...gives me chills just hearing a few lines in the trailer.
It is sad though that my favorite character's voice actor died in 1994. Starscream won't be the same.
http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/6gjz9y/transformers--devastation-e3-2015--platinum-games-demo
I wish there was more media or previews on this thing. Strangely quiet a week and a half out, especially given how positive all the hands on were. I wouldn't have even known it was releasing if I hadn't seen it promoted on Steam.
Steam: betsuni7
http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/09/24/transformers-devastation-inside-platinums-g1-based-action-game-301831
Here's a thing. link to the article about the thing. The thing being a new gameplay video with commentary
So I'll say this game will be around 4 hours.
Hmm...interesting. At least there should be some replayability with the different characters.
I wonder if this is a proof of concept title for future games. Would love to play as the decepticons, even if it was just in the challenge modes.
Sure seems like it given their names. Nemesis Prime, Red Alert, and Goldfire. I want to know who the heck is Goldfire??! Is that supposed to be Goldbug?
Steam: betsuni7
The bonus is also available on Steam. I was planning on getting it on the pc so I hadn't looked at the other options.
Also found out who Goldfire is. It is Bumblebee's new form. So guess it is the new Goldbug.
Steam: betsuni7
MGR was about 6-8 hours with tons of replayability, a bunch of bonus missions, and two side story missions featuring two very different characters. I have about twenty+ hours sunk into it so far.
T:D is a full priced PG game being made by the MGR director so I expect it to hit similar parameters.
Yup. I figured we'd be getting Cullen and Welker (which is always great), but then I heard Bell and Gilvezan in that trailer and was like ^___________^
That's our best case scenario.
But remember. Activision.
Don't get your hopes up.
No big deal if it doesn't, but it would be cool to zip around a bit.
The Legend of Korra was also a legit $15 budget title. I hiiiiiighly doubt a $50 game is going to be just as basic.
I hope there's more than just arenas and beatings, even if it's a relatively thin veneer, so it doesn't just feel like a fighting game where the second player's joystick is permanently broken.
I am torn. I'm gonna need some more info before it hits, because I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was the Transformers equivalent of the Korra game and they're just trying to suck money out of people.
Ideally, each robot has their own combos, there's a bit of free movement, and the story is serviceable and longer than 4 hours.
I also really wish we got to play as decepticons, even if it was just in challenge mode like in the Batman games.
Steam: betsuni7
I am so ready. Optimus and Sideswipe were in my top three favourite Transformers as a kid. If Prowl was available I would have thrown my wallet at the screen after seeing the initial screenshots.
Now for Blaster/Soundwave later on where their attacks incorporate the appropriate cassette minions attacking, each one mapped to a button like the elements in the Korra game.
Hnnnng.
I wish I could have your optimism.
Also found out that there is crafting in the game for both melee and ranged weapons with each bot holding up to 5 weapons, as well as a leveling system.
The producer hints at DLC and/or unlockable characters (probably just DLC), so that could be cool.
You can also fight alongside other autobots that are computer controlled which is nifty.
Steam: betsuni7
Wish high moon had a chance at another game this generation. Maybe with some luck those games will end up on the backwards compatibility list for Xbox one.

With the MGR director helming this I'm expecting some seriously fun shit but I am an unrepentant Metal Gear Rising fanboy.
Now I can't stop thinking about playing this game as Arcee, in DLC Bayonetta colors.
i didn't really expect there to be one multiplayer i found out who is making the game, but still unfortunate.

Looks like a really fun boss fight. Probably my favorite so far.
I thought the ground unites were Battlechargers?
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!
That makes more sense (too bad they didn't make them black and white). The models just looked like Wheeljack clones since the one player (developer?) was playing him while demoing the game.
