War for Cybertron Adds Silverbolt and Brawl to Cast

Perhaps if Silverbolt dies or gets damaged beyond repair and his spark returns to Vector Sigma to be utilized again later. Wasn't Jetfire a scientist prior to the war, without faction affiliation before crashing on Earth?

Actually, Skyfire was the scientist with no affiliation that hung out with Starscream until being lost on Earth. :P

 

And who knows, maybe this Silverbolt is who becomes Beast Wars Silverbolt, not G1 Arialbot Silverbolt.

^ Unlikely that his spark would be that ancient. It was implied that even though many of the protoforms were reborn as new individuals from the damage they received, their personalities were largely the same as before the damage. I find it hard to believe his idealism would have survived from that long ago, especially since this Silverbolt looks like the G1 Silverbolt.

huh, I thought the aerialbots weren't created until G1?

 

Despite my joke, I'm not seeing this as "real" G1 any more than IDW's or Dreamwave's comics. It's just another storyline inspired by G1. I have no problem with the designers taking some liberties with characters if a good game results. Besides, even if you do accept it as a prequel to the cartoon or comics, who says it's actually the same Silverbolt? If he were the Aerialbot, the bio would mention his acrophobia, right?

So with the addition of the Arielbot leader, is it safe to assume that the other ones will be included? Has there been any word if Combiners will come into play in this game in multiplayer mode? How awesome would that be?

 

Devastator, Menasor, Superion, Burticus, Computron, Prediking, Abombinus....wow

 

Now I could see these being Console specific..... :schin

Just like Beast Wars Megatron he took the name of Megatron from the Original(actually something about a TF Bible or data tracks) The Silverbolt from BW also has the same name, but it is not the same character. Unlike Ravage who became a Predacon Agent Ravage. He was rebuilt as such. The others just stole names.

 

I'm fine with adding these characters that don't fit in quite right. Without them the Decepticons would dominate the sky(except for powerglide) To have a evenly balanced factions, rules were bent..

Abombinus....wow

 

 

No. Just...no. Terrible choice.

 

I find it unlikely that something as complicated as "Gestalts" will be implemented or included in this game or any DLC.

It would be pretty awful in Multi-Player and mildly abusive in Single-Player.

 

With the copious amount of characters to choose from, I'm awfully disappointed that they took the easy way out and included Gestalt characters that didn't even exist until G1-Earth, as many have pointed out. (Silverbolt, Air Raid, Breakdown, Brawl, etc...).

 

I will support this game with my purchase, in the hopes that they develop a sequel. At that point, I'll look for Gestalts and Cities (Metroplex, Playable Trypticon, Omega Supreme Scorponok, Fortress).

 

Who knows: if this game sells well, Hasbro may allow them to develop a true G1/G12010 game as a sequel...it's only been 25 years in the making...

I agree...lets see how this game goes over before they add in all the combiners. It'd be awesome to see what High Moon studios would cook up for earth alt modes.

High Moon would only include gestalts if they could devise a good gameplay reason for them to be in a game.

I think all possibility of this adhering strictly to the G1 cartoon continuity hit the road the moment Trypticon (who wasn't created until season 3) showed up in the first trailer. Which is just fine with me; this is simply a streamlined continuity in which G1-like characters exist as dictated by the needs of the game and story. Strict adherence to the G1 continuity would not only limit what the developers could do, but it would also lead to a continuity nightmare in some cases. The Constructicons had at least three different origin stories in the cartoon alone; which one would the devs choose?

 

The well-known Transformers are alive and on Cybertron at the start of the war, and they are awesome. It doesn't need to get more complicated than that.
