so witch time= prime time?
The main issue I see is that flying characters are out because of the game mechanics, so no Jetfire/Skyfire or Cosmos. Combiner characters also definitely wouldn't work.
I wish Warpath had a bigger role in the cartoon, because a tank would be pretty unique.

Really surprised no jazz
As much as I love Platinum Games, I have to agree. Looks like its Legend of Korra again but with Transformers.

I was kinda surprised at that too personally, maybe couldn't get a close enough voice actor? Not sure if the guy is alive who originally did him.
Unlike Legend of Korra though this is a full release title not a budget title.
Scatman is dead sadly
Oh shit that was Scatman? I did not realize that...
It could end up being another Korra, but to me it immediately looks more fun, whereas I think Korra always looked kind of meh, I was just looking forward to it because of Platinum. At worst, this game will have fun combat and combos, but a lack of variety in enemies and backgrounds.

Yeah. At this point, I honestly wouldn't mind which version of the Turtles they'd use for such a game (though the Nicktoons version would be my best bet). Just as long as the boys would be in the hands of an action game developer studio that you'd have reason to believe would a) do them justice and b) give them an awesome game.

Looks slick and fun, but overall I can't imagine it being a better product than Fall of Cybertron, which was so obviously created by people who love Transformers.

There's a minimap, so I'm expecting something a bit more than corridors.
I actually hate the arena-to-arena progression of most character action games, but I put up with them for their combat systems and presentation.

I don't even like Transformers that much and this looks incredible

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Platinum also have difficulty levels on their games that go as low as auto-play one button modes. You er, should give one of them a try some day.
Here's some footage of the Soundwave boss battle in a shifting arena.
There's also third-person shooter gameplay mixed in with the melee combat.
There might be genre shifts like in previous Platinum action titles, but the majority of gameplay will be stylish combat because, you know, it's Platinum.

Shame they couldn't get the vehicle licences for the alt modes.

as long as they fully establish that hot rod is better than bumblebee in every single way, i am okay with this.

Hot Rod doesn't seem to be playable, sadly.

Though they could do what they did for FoC and have Troy Baker voice Jazz...he does a REALLY GOOD impression.
Looks like a generic brawler with a transformer skin.
Is it confirmed that they're not?

Have you seen those combos? How does it look generic?
Werewolf Jones

So in terms of quality does this seem about the same as Korra or a slightly higher product?
There is nothing generic about it.
Love that we got Wheeljack.
Kind of suprised we got Sideswipe over other, more obvious choices like Prowl, Hound, or Ironhide.

This is one game where I'm actually hoping there's DLC
Bullshit.

I think the biggest question mark remaining is level variety. We've only seen the one battle arena location so far other than the Sound Wave battle. If there's a decent amount of variety, then this could be something special.
Combos? Really?
It does look like it doesnt have life to it to me. There are robot tho, ahahahaha
Anyway hopefully it has a meaningful story etc.Something to tie the "combos" together.

I've always been more interested in gameplay than story and we're hardly talking about literary source material here in the first place. Gimme awesome combat mechanics and we're good.

Yeah, I'm not too worried about the combat mechanics, but if most of the levels are boring-ass "defeat X enemies to proceed" arenas... pass.
I suspect that this isn't budgeted much higher than Korra and that Activision is just being greedy by pricing it for retail, but I would truly love to be wrong.

This didn't even cross my mind until now. No one has ever voiced a G1 Starscream other than Chris Latta, right? I know it's technically not G1 we're dealing with with Devastation, but come on... It's G1.
