TFCon is this week in Charlotte. I am gonna OD on nostalgia and plastic this weekend.
If you see Cullen or Frank DA GAWD, tell them thank you for all they’ve done.
Cullen and Welker won’t be at this one. That was in Canada a few months back. Dan Gilvezan (voice of G1 Bumblebee) and Gregg Berger (him Grimlock King) will be there.
Those guys too… Anyone who’s done a voice for a TF character deserves a thank you.
I just delayed a fight with some Scouts by like 2min cause we were all in vehicle mode chasing each other around in a circle on some Abbott and Costello shit…
In other news, my SideSwipe is so good that I’m spoiled as fuck and I’m gonna STRUGGLE when I start up with aa brand new character lol…
You might cry when you play as Grimlock and give up all that mobility and combo-ability.
I’m actually surprised at just how scrappy they made Bumblebee in this game. Little dude goes HAM on bots… Knock a dude down and then break out the MMA ground pounds on 'em…
That’s got me pretty hype! I haven’t decided if I’m gonna start up again with…Bee or Optimus.
Maybe I’ll do Grimlock first…I wanna grab and throw muhfuckas around. I will miss the mobility though…like a lot…guess that’s to be expected of a grappler though lol…
Grimlock has been my 2nd character so far-- I’m just having fun pile-driving everyone, or doing that move where you grab them and run then slam them into the ground.
Also—smacking the shit out of a Seeker-type from mid-air with the hammer weapons…it’s such a violently beautiful thing. One was in jet-mode and I smashed the hell out of the front “nose” area and that bastard was sent down with the quickness. The level of disrespect with those hammer attacks man… I can’t get enough of it.
I fucking LOVE these classic transitions with the Autobot/Deception emblems…Jesus fuck nostalgia, pls…
So what’s the best way to farm? I’ve finished the story on Scout/Warr/Commander and I have like…one A class weapon.
Challenge 49/50 on Magnus/Prime difficulty.
Plenty of good drops in under 2 mins.
Stack some WeaponDrop+ and RareDrop+ and there is a very good chance to get SS rank weapons in Challenges 49/50. Game leaves me mad salty when SS rank weapons drop with only 4 or 5 synth affix sockets…
Yeah, I just got my first S rank weapon now. Makes Commander Story a breeze.
Well I finished the game for the first time with Sideswipe last night.
Vety awesome stuff. My favorite boss battles were: Menasor, Soundwave, Shockwave, the 1st sidescrolling part of Blitzwing, and the Dev/Menasor team up at the end.
Pros:
Awesome gameplay
Great controls
Cel shaded graphics
Music
Voice Acting (my only nitpick was Thundercracker, but he only had like 2 lines)
Cons (lol)
Short campaign length
No playable Decepticons
I’m a scrub so I played on easy more for fun.
One thing I had trouble with is doing a car attack from a melee combo. I see the “vehicle mode” prompt during a combo but I cant seem to do it properly.
I just turn into car mode and sit there.
I seem to do it easy if i just do a Rush attack, and then do it.
Another unexpected thing I liked was the car controls. I recently played Arkham knight and even driving at slow speeds it was so unwieldy. I would make 1/10 turns w/o crashing.
I basically used battle mode 99 of the time. This game, I could drive like a breakneck speed and up ramps and not lose the momentum.
Another weird thing is why they seem to not use the TF theme fully in this game. They have a few notes here and there, but is it a legal issue ? Lack of time?
'Im probably go through the game with the others just to see their playstyles.
8.5/10
I don’t know how I missed this little easter egg of a comment. I’m gonna try these farming suggestions though, I’ve been through the game a few times with different perks and don’t get much more than Rank C drops, I’ve got two Rank B swords for 'Swipe and they’ve been getting the job done, but I know there’s more power to behold.
Gotta get to the grind and believe in the Optimus that believes in me…
For some of the drop upgrades (e.g. Rare Drop, Weapon Drop, etc), does that weapon need to be used for the death of the enemy in order for it to be effective?
How do weapon drop/rare drop stack?
Do all the weapons I take with me stack, or just the ones I equip or even just the ones I get kills with?
Is the bonus multiplicative or additive?
Man who knows? I need some fucking theorycrafters to do the work for me.
Well I will be focusing on this game this next week since I finished Iron Brigade. I never saw an option to select a transformer so I am playing as optimus right now.
First Ark point in the game lets you switch freely. Sideswipe = true GOAT autobot in this game.
I love playing as Prime as he is a good mix, but Sideswipe is the most fun to play. Grimlock is raw power so equipping Mlojnir is a life altering experience . . . . for the Decepticons. Bumblebee’s skill fits and can be quite deadly with combo potential. To be honest, Wheeljack is my least used character at the moment.
