This is the America question?

We in Europe are probably gonna get something like "What do you like more? Care Bears or My Little Pony?"

 

[Savitar]

Wow, that is so freaking random.

And cool.

Really makes me wish I had the game now.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Team Maximals.

TRUKK NOT MUNKEY.

 

[BTA]

I didn't realize Japan had been getting promotional Splatfests and we just never did, but this is pretty interesting!

 

[Maintenance]

Cool.

 

[BiggNife]

I don't know anything about transformers. Which side is gonna win?

Decepticons are probably gonna win because people fuckin' love Megatron

But I'm going Autobots, Optimus 4 lyfe

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Next Transformers themed splatfest: Gen 1 vs Bayformers

 

[Razmos]

This is the America question?

We in Europe are probably gonna get something like "What do you like more? Care Bears or My Little Pony?"

It will be something extra lame like "Cheese or Crackers"

 

[Village]

They doing liscened dels with this, thats a good idea.

Also # TEAMSOUNDWAVE

 

[redcrayon]

AUTOBOTS INFERIOR

DECEPTICONS SUPERIOR

Soundwave was always the source of impartial advice

 

[Megatron]

Oh man, I rented and beat Splatoon already. Do I really need to buy it for this? I might if you keep the shirts...

 

[Intel_89]

I wonder what the Europe equivalent will be.

Considering the kind of Splatfest themes we've been getting it'll be something like Up vs Down, or Glass Half Full vs Glass Half Empty.

 

[Penguin]

It should have been Autobots vs Dinobots... to really make people choose!

And Warner needs to embrace this, next March Team Batman v Team Superman Splatfest!

 

[NEO0MJ]

<am, team Decepticons are gonna steamroll team Autobots.

#TeamDecepticons

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Decepticons are probably gonna win because people fuckin' love Megatron

But I'm going Autobots, Optimus 4 lyfe

Nah, Autobots will win. Adult nerds are probably split 50/50 on them, but 90% of kids will pick Autobots.

 

[Razmos]

Next Splatfest:

Spoiler

Bayonetta or Jeanne

 

[Hystzen]

Where is
Team Edward
Vs
Team Jacob

 

[Nintenleo]

I hope Splatoon may become the arena in which two big rivals from real world fights through votes and ink.

Coca Cola vs Pepsi
McDonald's vs Burger King
Marvel vs DC
Superman vs Batman
Barça vs Real Madrid
Etc...

 

[Sou Da]

It will be something extra lame like "Cheese or Crackers"

They'll make it between two football teams, European Miiverse gets a whole lot more vitriolic.

 

[PadWarrior]

Freedom is the right of all sentient beings

Spoiler

team autobots

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Oh man, I rented and beat Splatoon already. Do I really need to buy it for this? I might if you keep the shirts...

You do not keep the shirts

 

[Starfish Hero]

All hail Lord Megatron

 

[MrBadger]

Decepticons are probably gonna win because people fuckin' love Megatron

But I'm going Autobots, Optimus 4 lyfe

For good reason.

 

[Mpl90]

Inkling, more than meets the eyes.

 

[GekigangerV]

That's actually cool as shit.

Hasbro to start producing Splatoon toys?

I do believe Hasbro runs Super Soaker through Nerf. That sure would be something, but since Summer is coming to a close I wonder if they could release a wave of squirt guns and still generate some interest with kids.

 

[bobbychalkers]

Let us keep the fucking shirts goddammit!!!

 

[Neoxon]

I hope Splatoon may become the arena in which two big rivals from real world fights through votes and ink.

Coca Cola vs Pepsi
McDonald's vs Burger King
Captain America vs Iron Man
Superman vs Batman
Barça vs Real Madrid
Etc...

FTFY

 

[Megatron]

You do not keep the shirts

Well that's just as well. I will be out of town from August 27-30 so couldn't have done this anyway.

#teamdecepticons

Love that purple shirt, good work squid team

If you don't get to keep than autobots it is

Nintendo and Hasbro Join Forces to Let TRANSFORMERS Fans Take Sides in Splatoon
Are you team Autobot or team Decepticon? Nintendo and Hasbro are joining forces to help you defend your robot allegiances in the Splatoon game for the Wii U console.
Splatoon features themed events called Splatfests that let players pick a preference, such as Autobots or Decepticons, and then compete against the opposing side in online battles. A Splatfest celebration lasts for 24 hours, during which players head into battle and try to rack up Turf War wins for their side. While the Splatfest is ongoing, in-game characters get to wear a special T-shirt that shows which Transformers team has their allegiance. The ink that each team shoots will also be customized to match the color scheme of the chosen side.
Once a Splatfest ends, the side with the most points will be awarded the most Super Sea Snails, items that will allow them to upgrade their gear in the game. The Transformers-themed Splatfest event is scheduled to run starting at 9 p.m. PT on Aug. 28 through 9 p.m. PT on Aug. 29 and is open to all Wii U owners who have Splatoon and an Internet connection.
Splatoon, which is exclusive to Wii U, represents Nintendo&#8217;s take on the action-shooter genre. Characters called Inklings can transform into squids as they attempt to cover the play area with their team&#8217;s colorful ink and splat opponents. Using an array of inventive weapons, players cover the playing surface with as much of their team&#8217;s colorful ink as possible before time runs out. On Aug. 5, a free software update in Splatoon brought a large amount of new content to the game, including two new matchmaking modes, new weapon types, an increase to the game&#8217;s level cap and more than 40 pieces of new gear.

Looks good

 

[Hero of Legend]

Team Maximals. But the real question is...

Team Rattrap or Team Dinobot?

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Well that's just as well. I will be out of town from August 27-30 so couldn't have done this anyway.

Pick a team anyway once the option comes up. Even if you do nothing and the team you pick loses, you still get a few super snails for upgrading your equips to 3* rank.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

The ink that each team shoots will also be customized to match the color scheme of the chosen side.

My 3 year old loves purple, so I guess that seals the deal for me.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Where is
Team Edward
Vs
Team Jacob

they're about a half decade late to the party

 

[Toxi]

It's only logical to choose the side with Shockwave.

I don't know anything about transformers. Which side is gonna win?

Splatoon is actually the bad future where Dinobot didn't destroy the golden disc and Megatron killed the ancestors of today's humans, so the Decepticons are gonna win.

 

[foxuzamaki]

yaaasssss

 

[Jamie OD]

This is the America question?

We in Europe are probably gonna get something like "What do you like more? Care Bears or My Little Pony?"

Action Man or Dr. X?

 

[Haunted]

Nintendo and Hasbro joining forces, uh oh. I can only imagine the carnage this sort of unholy alliance will bring in the future.

 

[spindashing]

For good reason.

See? Why would you even decide on picking the other team?

 

[Jintor]

yaaasssss

Yesssssssssss

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Nintendo and Hasbro joining forces, uh oh. I can only imagine the carnage this sort of unholy alliance will bring in the future.

Hasbro is supposedly working on a Toys to Life game...

 

[protomouse]

Considering that we Europeans got "South Pole vs. North Pole" last time, I suppose we're getting "Ground vs. Sky" this time.

 

[mrmickfran]

Callie IS team Decepticon right

I don't want to leave her side

 

[Toxi]

Considering that we Europeans got "South Pole vs. North Pole" last time, I suppose we're getting "Ground vs. Sky" this time.

Left vs Right

 

[Tizoc]

Just an FYI that the characters int he first image are from the current Robots in Disguise cartoon.
The one in the Decepticon area is more likely Megatronus Prime and not Megatron.
Unless Megs is in Season 2 and that's him

 

[SparksterMeta0]

The Inklings wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Octarians!

SQUIDFORMERS!



Weird theme for the next Splatfest. But then again, Japan had a brand theme, right?

 

[Neoxon]

Team Goku vs. Team Vegeta, perhaps?

 

[NoKisum]

Well, this was random as fuck.

And I just had a conversation last night realizing I was never that big on the Transformers franchise, so I don't know which side to pick.

 

[TheOhrenberger.]

I can't wait for all the salt when Autobots win!

 

[Revolutionary]

Is Devastation even coming to Wii U?
