Looks like the cartoon. Amazing.

Didn't those guys animate one episode of the G1 cartoon in season 3? I remember there being a solitary episode where all the characters looked much more 'anime' than usual.Art style reminds me of some of the gorgeous Studio OX illustrations for G1:
Stylized Transformers looked damn good in motion too.
I'm ready.

Yep, Call of The Primitives. The plot made bugger all sense, but it looked awesome!
Everything points to it.
Seems like a brawler/action game - Platinum turf.
We know Platinum is going to debut a game this E3, not during any conference.
Transformers is an Activision property, worked with Platinum before on LoK.
Looks low budget like Korra, also doesn't look good enough to be shown during a press conference.
Please be good. Its looking great!Pure Xbox:
Tonnes of screens at the source. Looks hot.
Dunno if Xbox exclusive or if the PlayStation and PC versions aren't mentioned because it's an Xbox fansite.
What if this is Platinum's game? :O
fair enough. guess its another budget release like Korra then, which, as a long time huge G1 fan, makes me sad. I wouldnt expect "BRO DEVASTATOR FIGHT LIKE METAL GEAR REX IN RISING" from this if its like Korra >_>

Love the fact that the second commenter over there is just sat there going "CEL SHADED? CRAP!"
People just have no idea how to be happy. This looks the balls.

Can't stop drooling at the thought of a Platinum-engineered Optimus Prime vs. Megatron bossfight.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Reskin of Anarchy Reigns would be a good fit for this gametype.
No Scalebound footage, this potentially being the new game, push that Platinum Game hype way back down.

Doesn't look as visually good as it could be but still nice.
I hope this isn't that PG announcement.I don't even care if the gameplay is shit, will buy just for the art style.
Judging by the fact Prime has his hand transformed into an axe tells me whoever is behind it knows at least a little about the OG Transformers rather than just imitating art.
I wonder if Activision put High Moon back on Transformers, they crushed it with the two Cybertron games.
Very interested in this.
I'm not a superfan of P*, though I do enjoy some of their stuff. But I reckon they could pull off a kick ass Unicron fight where you're climbing all over him and hacking the shit out different parts of his body.

Well, considering the designs are all G1... I think it's based on G1.

I hope it plays well. If it's indeed Platinum then that's a big boost in confidence.
It looks absolutely amazing. This could be the G1'ish I've been waiting for. These screens are amazing.
(I can only hope for a companion series)

This looks bloody great. And I too shall be blasting the soundtrack from Transformers the 1986 Animated Movie all over this.
In fact, that should have it as an alternative soundtrack. I want to take on Megatron while Stan Bush sings "You got the Touch! You got the Powerrr!" at me.

It's not using the crappy Bayformers art! Holy shit this is good!
I hope it comes to the PC, will get!

I'm still waiting on Cybertron 3, but this looks awesome in the meantime!
I feel like the negativity behind the Korra game is misplaced.
It's one of the best in gameplay and graphic representations of the shows style and concepts possible, and probably much better than generally expected for a game that released at it's meager price. Is it the AAA mega-awesome Gears or Uncharted level tour-de-force we might have desired? No, but the fact it exist, and has some solid moments is fantastic enough for me, and helps open roads towards an established set of created resources, concepts, and design implementation that could be used in a bigger budget followup.
... That's the same way I feel about seeing this G1 game. WHY IN THE WORLD ARE THEY SPENDING THIS MUCH MONEY on an 80s brand-based design and games anyway? If this "b tier" development leads to me getting something that looks this solid and nuanced already (love Axe-armed Prime, and even the mook designs look like they'd perfectly fit on the boxes / promos of the old toys), then BRING ON THE LOWER BUDGET, SLIGHTLY UNPOLSHED FAN-FEST!
They'll just get better budgets and more cost-lowering presets in each iteration, as long as they can keep making them to some moderate success.
The industry could actually use more of these. I'd much rather get some inexpensive games with some warts served alongside detail hungry passion, than see one big-budget flop leads to studios dropping like flies.
So far from this pre-E3, I've already seen 80's He-Man, GI Joe, and Transformers all getting modern-hardware representation in new games. I'm totally in love with this trend. CONTINUE ON! No nit-picking and nay-saying can diminish the smile beamed upon seeing these announcements / leaks.
Now if only Japan would jump on this fledgling bandwagon... Where's my Lodoss War, Bubblegum Crisis and Macross passion projects?

Graphically looks superb. I think this has the Gundam problem for me that I don't lime it when. The huge robots are fighting and moving super fluidly. It always bothered me in the Gundam PS2 games. Felt there were missing the point. This looks kind of similar.
Anyway I'm glad for people who love original Transformers. I grew up with Beast Wars (fucking amazing) and as such have had no interest in the vehicle stuff. It's weird as a bunch of vehicle Transformers cartoons came out right when I aged out. Hated them because there were children as friends.

I hope all the original VA are involved.
And some respectable Scatman Crothers and Chris Latta sound-alikes.

To be fair though Platinum doesn't make perfect games.
I want this game to be like Atari's Transformers on PS2.

Oh don't worry, I'm also a BW fan and consider it the superior TF product, I'm just glad we aren't seeing trashy Bayformer design.
