Point your eyes at these new photos of Transformer characters Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, two classic heroes revamped for the new generation Transformers movie - and the recently revealed game, of course.
These images show the toy figures made for both Autobot characters, giving us a good idea of how Michael Bay's - director of the all-live-action Transformers movie - redesigned robots in disguise will look in the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC videogame released this summer.
With the recent successes of Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, even Hasbro wants to see the classic Transformers games come to Game Pass.
C'mon MS find those games on whatever hard drive they're hidden on.
There's a few transformers games from Activision I missed out or didn't finish. Would love to come back to them at some point if they appear on GP.
“Activision’s not sure what hard drives they’re on in their building. When a company eats a company that eats a company things get lost, and that’s very frustrating.”
By Unicron’s beard, find them! 😳
Does Activision still have the rights? I thought they lost them, and that was why the Cybertron games left stores.
I didn't really look into it at the time.
I thought so too, but these quotes come directly from the Hasbro panel. It seems Hasbro is willing and able to work with them again. At least in a retro capacity.
"Does Activision still have the rights?"
They do not.
"I thought they lost them, and that was why the Cybertron games left stores."
This is correct. I dunno if MS can/ would go back to Hasbro and try and negotiate a new deal.
But even if they could I doubt they would, same with Spider-Man.
Game Rant Writes "Transformers has not had much success in the video game market, but the movie tie-in Transformers: The Game may be a diamond in the rough."
The Transformers have not had a great track record in games. Here is a terrible history of Transformers video games
I've gotta say that I'm still a fan of the originals, but they did a nice job with these - they look really cool.
Not sure if I'm too thrilled about Bumblebee being a blatant Chevy advertisement, but the overall design of both models looks great.
My biggest concern is how they will handle the Decepticons...Mainly Megatron and possibly sound wave. I mean honestly the whole transforming hand gun and boom box just don't seem like they will cut it for a movie.
There is a reason he is called Bumblebee. I can asure you it's not because he was a Camaro.
Prime = Cool
Bumblebee = VW Bug not a Camaro.... dunno why that bothers me.
that Bumblebee is Camaro? This is really wrong, he can't have been sold out. It's looking more and more like Michael Bay is going to screw this franchise over.
Optimus with flame design? Uhhh... that's okay but Bumblebee as a camaro?... Argh... I have a bad feeling about this... What if they make Megatron into a motorcycle? Starscream as a bike?!!... *coughs*
