G1 = September 17, 1984 – November 11, 1987

I was talking about TMNT. For some reason I thought it was in the early 90's, although I did watch it from the very first season. Got the years mixed up with the live-action flicks.

 

[Toxi]

No one has performed Starscream as good as him, the original and best imo

Tom Kenny did a pretty great job, though I couldn't stop hearing Spongebob every time he spoke.

Steve Blum also did a good job, though his performance was rather different from the typical screechy Starscream.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Unlocked!

Picked up my son's copy at lunch and now I need to create him an account so we can both play this.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Soooo still waiting on my copy being sent (mustn't grumble as it was a corking deal) but early thoughts on the PC release if anyone's got it downloaded yet? Options and such if that's ok. Cheers in advance.

Got to love JP. Certainly showed he cared in the Rising threads though a lot of it was out of his hands.

Amazon, where are my PO codes?

I was born in 1986. But Transformers was still my childhood through repeats and VHS.

Same here. Repeats got some new life as well when the Generation 2 line of toys were introduced.

Allthough even as a kid I liked the Gen 1 toys over the newer generation 2. Still peeved I never got a complete combiner And I even have all six Constructicons... (Those were part of a line that couldn't transform into Devastator... )

 

[PadWarrior]

My first transformer was sideswipe and hound back in 1984. The older I got the more my folks got for me. My dad even had a shockwave and my mom wheel jack and bumblebee

Well the kid in me won

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Just finished the first chapter and I'm pretty impressed. I had no idea that there was a loot system so that a was a fun surprise.

 

[racketpunch]

Is there enough content in this game to warrant a $50 purchase? Love the G1 throwback but I don't want to pull the trigger if it's a one and done type of game. If that's the case then I can wait until it becomes cheaper.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Will do JP!

 

[chun li's thighs]

Anyone find a good combat system breakdown video yet? I played it briefly at SDCC, but not really enough to get into the system.

Love the cover art except for the fonts/colouring for the logo

My first transformer was sideswipe and hound back in 1984.

Hound was my first and only for a bit until my parents finally caved in a bought me a couple more. Anyone bring their TF's to school for "show-and-tell" days. I remember some classmate brought in Jetfire and I was soooo jealous.

Today I have almost every TF from 1984-86.

 

[AwShucks]

GCU might cause me to purchase this since it'll be $40 + tax. Seems like everyone in the thread is enjoying it.

Nice I remmeber when a kid came in with all the stunticons and the teacher took them because we weren't allowed toys at school.

 

[The End]

my friends and I were decidedly working class growing up

we'd each bring a combiner limb to school, and my one friend whose stepdad owned a business had the larger chestpiece

every combiner was monstructor, basically

Yep I remember the toy confiscations. But we did have an official teacher sanctioned show and tell day like once a month back then. Girls were bringing in Strawberry Shortcake or Cabbage Patch and boys mostly GI Joe and Transformers. Memories

Those were the best days Kids don't know what they are missing these days. I always tell my 6 year old that the 80s were the best time for toons

why didn't they use to original font?

No idea, strange choice

Any impressions and reviews knocking about? Love me some G1 Transformers.

 

[The Elite]

Game just arrived. Can't wait to play.

 

[Justinh]

Amazon, where are my PO codes?

That's weird. They sent me mine last night.
Hopefully you get yours soon.

I'm still using the regular Optimus skin but mainly rocking that Dark Saber. I've seen it drop (Goldfire™'s weapons, too), but I don't know if they only drop if you have the PreOrder stuff.

I totally agree with this. Read IDW TMNT comics.

I just started reading this when I got the hardcover volume 1 thing last month. It's really good. That's all I've read, though. Hoping Vol 2 comes out soon.

 

[V-Faction]

Wow, this is out already?

That being said, I'm not a G1 Transformers guy. I'm squarely in the Beast Wars camp. But... I feel like I should support this game regardless, out of a sense of duty, so that other games like it continue to get made. Plus, Optimus Prime...

 

[PadWarrior]

What chapter is grimlock used in?

 

[Buburibon]

I'm most definitely going to pick it up later on today. Haven't done so yet because I have a hard (psychological) time paying full price on Steam, as ridiculous as it sounds.

 

[eizarus]

First review that I've found is from Metro.

They gave it an 8/10. Didn't even mention length as a con. So I don't understand why there's such a big delay in reviews. (Metro, while not known for their gaming reviews (it's a budget news source in the UK) generally tend to be in line with the majority of the industry in reviews).

 

[Tizoc]

Starting from

Chapter 3

Got mine with GCU and GC for $25.. no preorder bonus codes unfortunately which stinks.

Any chance P* or whoever will give codes to those of us who supported the game via pre-order?

Sweet! Me PadWarrior want to munch metal lol

 

[mattwhite924]

Can't wait to get off work to try this out. I need to stop reading this thread, it's getting me too hyped up for it.

G1 Starscream isn't bad, but Animated takes the cake.

Animated is the only other version of transformers besides g1 I like

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Alright, game just finished downloading for me, running through steam so I'll keep things updated if anything serious happens, but damn this goes silky smooth on a GTX 960.

 

[darkjedi187]

Prime was also good.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

G1 Starscream isn't bad, but Animated takes the cake.

Going to have to respectfully disagree. As a child of the 80s, nothing beats the originals.

 

[DeathGlobe]

So whats the verdict for those who have played it? I havent really looked much into this game but from those gifs few pages back it looks fun

 

[Mechazawa]

Game is no joke on Hard. Devastator(first boss) is whooping my ass. Basically three shots you, but has tons of health.

If you like Platinum and/or Transformers, or just like a very tightly made game, buy it. This is closer in the vein of MGR and should be great for people even if they're not dire-hard character action fans.

 

[GodParticle]

Forgot it was only $50. With the worst buy gamer discount it's not a bad deal

One thing I find annoying so far is how enemies interrupt combo strings

 

[Sinatar]

Is the PC version limited to 1080p like previous Platinum games?

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Yes.

 

[The End]

Beast Wars has reeeeally aged poorly

and this is coming from someone who will still watch random G1 episodes on occasion

 

[h0mebas3]

For those who have it, it is a typical Platinum game with Japanese options? I have a friend who wants to pick it up.

 

[Sinatar]

Yes.

Fah. Well hopefully the SGSSAA bits from Revengeance/Korra work with this.

 

[ratcliffja]

Does anybody have the PS4 version to see if it runs at 1080P 60 FPS? If so, I'm just going to pick that one up today. Otherwise, I may have to wait a bit on the PC version.

Edit: Never mind, answered in the OP.

Why isn't Jazz in this game? He's so coooooool.
