So, anybody else getting War for Cybertron?

For the PS3? yes! And WHO will the last special charater be?!
I guess Grimlock.
He is a fanfav and fits in the leader class.

I am. PS3 version.

Though I do wish I knew about the other pre-order guys in advance, because as much as I hate to admit it...

Demolisher looks kinda boss.

Also, why can't we get an entire toyline out of WfC?

It'd be awesome, IMO

The whole Autobots cant fly thing only applies to the fact that the Deceptions could fly in their bot modes.

Well it also applies in Animated but that's different.

No.81715
>>81709
The reason they couldn't fly in Animated was simply because it followed the rule "you can fly in robot mode if your alt-mode can fly" (unless you get a jetpack), and before the twins were rebuilt as Jetfire and Jetstorm all of the Autobots' alt-modes were ground vehicles.

I had an idea for a goofy Transformers fan character.

A peacnik, druid-y sort of nod to monks and all their serenity. A Russian independent bot that had three modes; Rocket, large stationary tree and druid-esque humanoid form. Abilities running the gambit from plasma and electromagnetic propulsion to lasers. In tree form, lots of photovoltaic fiber optic cables act as the canopy and camouflage, allowing him to derive energon from sunlight as nourishment and hide in plain sight.

I call him RockeTree.

No, but the beauty of it was that it looked, you know, good. Even in the 80's where the Asian animators were on crack 90% of the time, at least it wasn't the bastard child of Transformers and Johnny Test, that's my only point.

It's like I'm on TFW2005 all over again.

Anything with the Transformers brand on it *is* Transformers and just as valid as any other thing. The perceived quality within that is all a matter of personal taste.

I love both animated and Beast Machines, and my opinion is just as credible as someone who thinks G1 is the best. But if that person says that anything after G1 is invalid, then they are wrong, and acting rather childish.

He also said:
"The story (minus the little girl) was fine enough"
His complaint stems from the stylized animation, which though good and consistent gives a bit off an off look to the transformers if you aren't used to it or dislike the style. For him it was too stylized and off to enjoy, I don't agree, but I can certainly understand his stance. And it's not like he was saying G-1 was this bold work of art, just that he found it watchable due to the lack of what some could consider overly stylized animation.
