#transformers fall of cybertron

[randomthefox]

These levels are absolutely the highlight of the game for me. I think when playing this game for the first time, these levels were what truly Sold me on Transformers as a franchise. For some reason the potential of the Robots In Disguise concept really just clicked for me thanks to this. Everything about it from the whole strategy briefing overview, to the adaptations they make in the field on the fly, to the disastrous conclusion really feels like a legitimate military operation and makes the whole idea of the Transformers WAR really feel like a real conflict. And it's all just such a joy to play, and the games graphics really make these locations feel like a spectacle.

Not only that but these levels made me really love the Combaticons! I absolutely adore their chemistry all throughout, their interactions with each other, the way their personalities bounce off one another. The fact they feel like real team mates both in how they bust each others balls and yet also support one another. It's good banter and it's solid squadmate dynamics. It really makes sense that they get along so well too considering they can combine into a single entity. The way Bruticus clearly has his own independent personality despite being a combination of five individuals is so interesting to me hehe. Plus that is such a fucking Megazord moment, if you know what I mean, when they combine together. I'm sure the Constructacons and Devastator are more popular, and perhaps they have a right to be. But I ADORE the Combaticons entirely because of these levels in this game. Teletran even has some dialog with Swindle that alludes to his character from TAS which is a cute easter egg.

The fact they have such a confrontational relationship with Starscream is also hilarious given their G1 origin story. I will say these levels feel SLIGHTLY like Starscream slander. Since he really doesn't feel like he should be THIS suicidal egotistical as a leader, and he never really sounded any retreats in the original show. But the parts where he's trying to take over the briefing speech and make dramatic little gesture poses and completely deflects all responsibility for the plan going tits up feel on brand at least. Still feel like they could have ended up in the same place plot and character wise WITHOUT having Starscream lead his wing into a meat grinder of the anti aircraft guns and then sounding a retreat like a whimp though.

This game kicks ass, Decepticons are fucking awesome.

Soundwave is a powerhouse and an enigma and we don't talk about it enough so i'mma just gonna make a compilation of "how the hell did he do that" and "what the hell is he" moments that i've managed to find from across several transformers continuities

first off is from the first IDW comic continuity

this is never explained, so i can only assume its because soundwave is technically an outlier but i haven't seen a panel that shows other outliers having "off the scale" readings, whatever that means.

and then in the last moments of this continuity he sacrifices himself to save the universe/earth by using his outlier ability along with the enigma of combination to essentially connect the dead to the living in the entire galaxy for a hot minute . idk how the hell he did that or how he knew to do that, my money is on bad writing but i digress.

next up Transformers Prime

tfp fans: elaborate on that. tfp writers: no. transformers prime soundwave is definitely a powerhouse and an enigma for several reasons but number one is this god damn scene with ratchet exclaiming soundwave isn't your standard cybertronian and then to my frustration the show refuses to explain why.

also he can open portals. the only explanation for that is in the novels where he actually was part of the invention of spacebridge technology. i guess he could've incorporated that into himself, which frankly is kinda unheard of in of itself. but still I feel inclined to tell him that skywarp called and they want their powers back.

Next, we have the game Transformers: fall of cybertron. where he scavenges together all of megatrons parts and puts him back together which, yeah sure why not? it's essentially like putting a corpse back together but then he just REVIVES HIM??

with his mind completely intact despite having been decimated by Metroplex and being dead for several hours. excuse me sir but that shouldn't be possible. I guess I could just chop it up to the writers being a bit loosey goosey with their own rules for the world but it's still quite a feat. but thinking back to G1 where he did the same thing with skyfire I guess they assumed it's just something he can do?

although skyfire's revival was a bit more reasonable considering he was still in one piece and frozen solid which they explained to be the reason as to why he was kept intact. but I'm assuming that's why the writers were like "well let's just have him do the same thing for megatron" and everyone was like yeah okay why not. also like a lot of things in G1 this inbuilt high voltage canon/defibrillator is never brought up again which is hilarious and par for the course for G1.

there are several more moments throughout all the tf continuities where soundwave just does something inexplicable but these are a some of the moments that stuck out to me the most. I welcome others to add onto this post if they wish. because I'm sure I've missed some "how the hell did he do that" moments that would be a shame not to bring up.

Got nothing new today. Just been replaying Transformers Fall of Cybertron recently and reliving childhood memories. (I also needed a place to permanently upload this GIF so I can link it in other places) Gosh, Grimlock was so cool in it.

I like how Optimus Prime isn't going "what the ACTUAL FUCK, I watched you die???" which again suggests to me that it actually isn't all that peculiar for a Transformer to just be rebuilt after dying.

I do kinda like that Optimus offers to bury the hatchet with Megatron. I feel like Prime might have internalized a little something Megatron said in the first game. "OUR war." They can't just keep fighting until there's noone left especially considering Cybertron is on the brink of collapse and they're both just desperately trying to grab as much energon as they can and get out. It's interesting to imagine how things might have gone if Megatron accepted. But then, he wouldn't be Megatron if he did would he?

Gotta love how Megs puts all the blame for Cybertron's state on Optimus. Yeah buddy, you infecting the planets core with Dark Energon had NOTHING to do with it x3

It's been three of these, first the Hilda one, then the Digimon one, and finally one of the Transformers on the same day that the Digimon one came out. Crazy, I'm not trying to inspire people to show their spirit of what they love and immortalize it in a drawing.

[dezgasting]

I saw Megatron hovering in FoC so I decided to draw him hovering Why shouldnt I draw Megatron right after I finished Galvatron? Oh, because I'm currently on a work shift... uhh.......... nevermind

[pocoslip]

That Primus Figure is Pretty Neat, even if I don't plan on getting him

(also i think primus' headmaster should've been rung instead of alpha trion if you know what i mean)

SO …

according under an australian classification board (forgive me idk the name of it, i got this alleged news from a TF youtuber by the name of SwizzPrime lol), there are two transformers video games under works at microsoft studios. one is an orginal and the other is a modification.

others, and including myself, are speculating that these two games are the cybertron games. war for cybertron and fall of cybertron, respectively. most likely a full on remake of WFC, and then FOC being modified/remastered for consoles and pc.

if this news turns out to be true … I WILL EXPLODE

HOPEFULLY WE GET A REVEAL OF SOME KIND ON TF DAY
