Shockwave, true to form has more of a Hand Cannon. Arm Cannon: Megatron, Starscream and Shockwave all have cannons on their arms.Apocalyptic Log: Throughout the game are files that flesh out the story of the Proudstar and how it came to crash on Earth.Antagonist Title: The game's subtitle refers to Devastator, a Humongous Mecha by Cybertronian standards.And Starring: Peter Cullen gets this credit during the cast list in the game's end credits.The game does also note Lithone is a planet that was cyber-formed by the Proudstar into its current state, thereby making the entire race of Lithonians a Cybertronian colony world, rather than a wholly separate species of Mechanical Life Form as they were implied to be in their earlier incarnations. But whereas there, he was a native of the planet Lithone and its last survivor, here he was originally from Cybertron as part of Nova Prime's crew, and when things went horribly wrong he decided to escape back to Lithone to live the rest of his days.
#AUTOBOT STRONG HOLD MOVIE#
Adaptation Species Change: Kranix from The Transformers: The Movie is detailed through logs in this game and given a new backstory.Again, like Nova, Jhiaxus here is presented as a scientist helping Nova's quest to preserve Cybertronian culture and was considering becoming an Autobot himself-and like Nova, his turn to villainy is the result of corruption by Unicron. Likewise, Jhiaxus was presented in Transformers: Generation 2 as a sadastic tyrant and in IDW canon as a Mad Scientist who worked with the aforementioned Nova Prime.Nova Prime is depicted as a Wide-Eyed Idealist whose fall from heroism was due to dealing with Unicron, when IDW's Generation One comics depicted him as a supremacist who looked down on life forms he deemed inferior to Transformers from the get-go.Starscream here, on the other hand, takes a little from certain of his later incarnations, keeping the whiny traits of the original, but making him a capable combatant who isn't afraid of one-on-one combat. G1 Starscream was a Dirty Coward to the extreme end of the scale and fled or begged for his life at the first sign of danger.Here, he can beat down Megatron just as easily as Prime himself (and, in fact, his unique dodge ability actually makes him the most combo-centric character in the game, since it resets your combo). Bumblebee was mostly just a Kid-Appeal Character in G1 and could be smacked to the side by most Deceptions with little effort.This game contains examples of these following tropes: Of course, this being Transformers, there's more going on than meets the eye.
#AUTOBOT STRONG HOLD GENERATOR#
The Autobots naturally arrive to stop the Decepticons, who plan to use the Plasma Core Generator housed within the ship to cyberform Earth into a new Cybertron. Realising the significance of what is happening, Megatron takes advantage of the situation and quickly learns that a legendary Cybertronian ship called the Proudstar, which carried a priceless supercomputer containing historical and cultural records long lost due to the Transformers' unending war, is buried on Earth. The plot starts out with a typical 80s era Decepticon plan, where a city is suddenly ravaged by hordes of Insecticons separate from the trio who work for the Decepticons. To help round off the nostalgia-fest, many actors from the series, including Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime), Frank Welker (Megatron/Soundwave), Dan Gilvezan (Bumblebee), Gregg Berger (Grimlock/Long Haul) and Michael Bell (Sideswipe/Scrapper) reprise their roles. Developed by PlatinumGames, the game is based on the Generation One era of the franchise while ostensibly based on the recent Generations toyline, the game looks and sounds closer to the classic Sunbow cartoon, and uses Cel Shading to achieve an aesthetic similar to it. Transformers: Devastation is a Stylish Action Beat 'em Up video game based on the Transformers franchise, released on the 6th of October 2015 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
