I'd recommend a maxed A rank weapon.

i finished the run with sideswipe and felt the same initially. you will adjust over time and get better drops etc. i never saw a SS drop on magus though. where is my luck.
Yeah, Hammer Bros go eff yourselves.
That I went through commander without using an auto repair kit.
That part took FOUR from me.

MGR is quite different in its approach and ultimately a more focused product, but I'd lie if I said I wasn't having so much fun.
It's not the sequel to Rising if that's what you're looking for. Still, it seems like it will be a lot of fun.

Is there a way to buy stat increases for a character?
So if I want to start over with a different character and their level is quite a bit behind some other characters can I purchase stat upgrades somewhere?
I have checked the shop and the stats page don't see anywhere to do this however I have seen people saying just use your credits to upgrade your character stats.

Go to the stat page, highlight one of the stats and use the triangle button to increase it.

OMG lol seriously? Thanks, I am sure I have tried to do this but obviously didn't see the highlight or something, will try later, thanks. Time to pump some points into Bumblebee then might help on Magnus.

If this isn't some badass "Mega Man in 2015 by way of Platinum Games" music, I don't know what is. This soundtrack makes me nostalgic as hell.
Synthing them doesn't do anything to increase the damage the weapon does though... unless you see those numbers actually go up. Leveling up the weapon alone doesn't automatically increase damage. But you can synth those C/Ds for the skills on them.
So I decided I was going to do Wheeljack for my next run and what should drop near the end of my bumblebee Magnus run?
Good lord... love this game.
Also...
This game looks so good in .gif form... like an authentic 80's cartoon. Makes me with the game had a 20fps or less option to give it that feel during gameplay (just for fun)

WTF? MGR's lyrics actually build the backstories of the bosses, and develop the game's themes. They boost the soundtrack from excellent to classic by taking ridiculously catchy context-appropriate music to an unnecessary but wonderful level of narrative synergy. Talk about going the extra mile.
Yeah, I had to restart that fight so many times. I quit at the Devastator fight. Might get back to it after the challenges.
I am having a blast doing the challenges on Commander, though

When you get a taste of something DONE RIGHT, it's only natural you MORE. There are so many licensed games done wrong, which tend to sour us heavily. But yeah, when you get a taste of the good stuff, you don't want it to stop. And remember, when this was announced, people were writing it off as being another let down like Korra. That sure changed!
A TMNT game by P, be it the new Nick version, or full-on 80s toon nostalgia, I can so be down for that. I still want a GI Joe game that looks like you are playing the cartoons(similar to this). There are so many different games of old franchises I'd love.

Is it overdrive what gives the option for back to back vehicle attacks, or is it dependent on which combo you use with your current weapon? I'm confused how sometimes I get a chance to followup and sometimes not.
I'm also getting to the point where I just hold R1 after a vehicle attack to make sure I'm still in vehicle mode and can dash attack right away and I'm wondering if I'm screwing myself out of combos doing that.

arrived at challenge 20 on prime. every time you think it's over, they throw 5 more waves towards you, wtf. died at mena 50%, because naked robots can't fight. gonna try it again later. can't catch me off guard this time.
So how many chapters does the game have again?
?
I've been playing for at least 5 hours and I'm just starting chapter
now... All I'm doing is clearing out all the side missions before heading to the current story goal, while re-opening chests and repeating some quick timed challenges along the way.
I haven't even looked at the 50 challenge screen yet...
I've gotten B's and A's on "Normal", and I'm only half way (?) through. Better ranks on side challenges award more Rare drops.

Bumblebee takes Wheeljack's place (and yes, he does have quotes for them).
I did it by accident yesterday.There are 7 chapters, but the later ones are much shorter, so you're probably more than 2/3 done.
Also to the guy that criticised MGR's lyrics... you're high, dude.
There is a small chance of getting B's to drop on normal and you can buy them from the shop.

Does it take longer when Bumblebee is doing it? Because I feel it should! Even if it's annoying!

Renting from Redbox today, looks incredible. I wanted to try it simply because P* but seeing these gifs, I had no idea it was this crazy.
Already finished the game on Prime but I want MOAR. It seems like SS weapons would break the game, but some challenges on Prime are ridiculous. SS weapons do a lot of damage but enemies are SO QUICK, their attacks come out IMMEDIATELY one after the other, there's almost no wind up animation at all to them, and they do massive damage. So it is kind of balanced as far as I'm concerned. 
Magnus seems hugely overwhelming at first, but you get the hang of it. You need an S-class melee weapon.

I gotta say, it bothers me when I'm playing as Optimus and Bumblebee tells me to do something or goes "Alright! Good Job!"
...really bothers me.

took me 8 hours first time exploring. will be similar for you.

Yeah, the dudes seem to move faster to me, too and they friggen hit HARD.
edit
h snap, meant to edit this in to above, sorry fellers.I guess I can see that. In Magnus it took a while before I got to a point where I had a good weapon that I liked and did a good amount of damage to the enemies. Just after starting Prime this morning, I had 7 SS weapons drop before the end of the first chapter. I don't even think I finished it, I just got to a place where felt I could stop for a while.

THIS GAAAAAAME
Seems like Activision was willing to give Platinum a licensed property after The Legend of Korra, and since this game was no doubt a bigger success, I would be more surprised if they didn't get another project. What are some huge licensed titles owned by Activision? Spider-Man for sure, which is interesting because Platinum did say they wanted to do a Spider-Gwen game. I do believe TMNT is held by Activision as well, so that's very likely.

You really don't need much G1 knowledge for this game. You won't know who Decepticons like Blitzwing or Menasor are, but with the way the game paces itself all you really need to know is that you have to beat them up before they do the same to you.

Scoring system is kind of whack. All you really need to do for easy SS ranks is equip a firearm with low damage numbers and continuously land headshots with the Prime Time Bullet Dive™ because there's no limit on how many style points you can accumulate off of it.
It's boring and defeats the purpose of a game like this, but it's a glaring oversight.
It's not tied to Overdrive. It does have a tight timing window relative to other techniques in the game though.
I surprisingly had an easier time with Prime difficulty, barring the usual walls. It's... not a whole lot different from Magnus and if you got used to the pacing of the former with regards to how fast enemies move and how hard they hit, then you're already in a good position to beat Prime. Also helps that the loot system regularly starts dropping S / SS gear and that character attributes level up fairly quickly.
Back-to-back vehicle attacks normally depend on the combo itself (which varies per weapon), but if the Transformers icon is blinking orange to red, you can quickly trigger one with the spinning lariat or repeated use of the palm thrust too.
Challenge #2 and #10 are so stressful.Already finished the game on Prime but I want MOAR. It seems like SS weapons would break the game, but some challenges on Prime are ridiculous. SS weapons do a lot of damage but enemies are SO QUICK, their attacks come out IMMEDIATELY one after the other, there's almost no wind up animation at all to them, and they do massive damage. So it is kind of balanced as far as I'm concerned.
Familiarity with the cartoon isn't required. I went into Devastation on good faith in Platinum alone because I strongly disliked the franchise and I still had a blast.
Sounds like it, which is perfectly fine.
GIMME A BADASS GI JOE GAME DONE LIKE VANQUISH!!!!
also some character action Snake eyes/Stormshadow

The Shockwave battle is hype
Wouldn't Metal Gear Solid-style game fit more for a G.I. Joe game?
Think MGS V-ish but as G.I. Joe.

Actually, it's worse, I cheesed probably half of the Liberty Bridge section (basically once the hammer dudes showed up) by chaining Dash Attack > Vehicle Attack > Vehicle Mode > Dash Attack over and over and still managed to get an SS. I wouldn't be earning no style points from anyone who watched me
Ah thanks, I figured as much. I just bothered picking up the lariat before stopping last night ;p
Yeah half of the soundtrack feels like some fusion of classic and X series Mega Man tunes. It's ridiculous.
huh, i can see it like that, not sure that would fit with Platinum's fast gameplay
Music in this game is great. While not amazing on its own it gets me pumped for fights. Can't wait for the actual Megatron Boss fight, though I kinda wish the tone of his theme stuck more to how it was in the intro.
Then it's up to Konami to pull it off!
