This interview has drinking game potential, right?

I like the look of the game, hopefully it will play just as good. As for earth like vehicles, what i saw of the video, the vehicles didn't look that much like modern day transport stylee. What did you expect them to transform into?

Looking pretty cool.
Milkmanon March 12, 2010 at 6:23 p.m.
Looks alright, I guess.

Looks pretty cool. I wasn't alive for the original cartoon but I still think this looks fun.

Warpath? Wow, wasn't expecting that one. I hope we get a full cast lineup soon though

Gotta love passionate game designers. Compare this to the QLEX of Split Second and you'll see what I mean.

great interview Ryan!
RobotHamsteron March 12, 2010 at 7:29 p.m.
Has potential I think...
Cyclonuson March 12, 2010 at 7:33 p.m.
the ones shown in so far are, autobots; optimus prime, bumblebee, ironside, warpath, ratchet and omega supreme and decepticons; megatron, soundwave, onslaught and trypticon. I think. well also some random plane, it's hard to recognise in the jet footage, probably starscream/skywarp/thundercracker. and I'm guessing omega and trypticon aren't playable, but just bosses. there are some random other bots in the shots aswell, but those are probably generic noname trash bots the levels are filled with. too bad they couldn't just fill the levels and whole game with named robots. hehe, that would have been something. insane amount of work ahoy. but that would have been amazing, and put some personality to the random fighting throughout. not just wading through trashbots to get to a boss encounter a couple of hours down the road to finally recognise a robot. of course, the comics had a ton of other robots never released as toys and whatnot on cybertron, but all of them were different from each other at least. and were mostly awesome enough on their own to warrant toys. straxus and scrounge! :))
