War For Cybertron - Nintendo DS Game Details

[ultrazilla2000]

Technically the Dinobots being from Cybertron isn't a Retcon. The Dinobots appeared in the Marvel comics MONTHS before the TV series (comic released in May '84, TV show aired in October!), and they were from Cybertron. It's the TV show that changed the Dinobot origin.

 

I find it funny how so many people complain about the Dinobots appearing in this game, but ignore Jetfire, the Aerialbots and the Stunticons... none of which should be on Cybertron 9 million years afo in the TV series OR Marvel comics. The only major continuity this video game doesn't seem to contradict so far seems to be the Devil's Due comics!

 

Oh no...I assure you, I complained about Jetfire in another thread! :tflaugh He's not supposed to switch sides until after being on Earth. Hell, even Mr. Bay got that one right!

 

Dinobots?!? On Cybertron!?! I thought people said these guys knew their Transformers history?

 

What you think Wheeljack just made them? As I remember they had to give sentience thru Vector Sigma (Aerialbots, Stunticons). I dont mind that they were retconned by the comics.

 

Of course Wheeljack just made them...I saw it with my own eyes back in 1984. It was the fact that Wheeljack made them without the help from Vector Sigma, that made them so dimwitted! ;)

 

 

Honestly though, I'm just playing. I don't care much about the history, the game is going to be amazing!

I actually just watched that episode the other day. Wheeljack's all like "I made them dumb just like real dinosaurs."

Bet he wishes he had that to do all over again.

Yeah he should be courtmartialed for that decision. Youve just made giant robot dinosaurs with unequaled strength and firepower and you make them dumber then walnuts.

 

Ever seen that Dr. Smoov video on Youtube? Its called S.O.S. Wheeljack and its awesome

[Jason X]

Never heard of it. I'll have to check it out. :tfgrin

If you watch that episode, Jetfire (Skyfire) didn't belong to a faction until AFTER he was revived. Then again, it did show Starscream in his Earth mode millions of years before he was even revived on the Ark (during his flashback) so who knows?

I think the best way to think of this show relating to the old cartoon is with a bitter slant. Just like people mis-remember things from the old cartoon and you just shake your head and say 'whatever'

[Davestator]

Is anyone else tired of the Nintendo DS Transformer titles being released as separate halves? It seems like they can't release an entire Transformer title for this system at one time!

[robo_rob]

I think thats a throwback to the seemingly popular thing to do with hand held games. Pokemon, Megaman (the rpgs), that one Bomberman title, those GBC Zelda games, etc. Two games released at a time seems to be a trend that Pokemon started in the 90's and for some reason TF games have followed suit. I dont think I like it either, but I guess I've gotten used to it.

I find it funny people complain and say that Wheeljack made the dinobots stupid on purpose. He simply did the best he could with what he had. He didn't make them "stupid" he made them as smart as he could manage, with the level of artificial intelligence he could muster. He's no Vector Sigma when it comes to programming computers.

Then he should have compensated and made them less powerful. He's not a very bright genius. :tfevil
