So, obviously this is a thread for those that have finished FOC. What I would like to chat about is not reviews, but bits you thought were awesome/lame, plot discussion, how it links up to WFC/G1 (Prime?) and now that the main group of Autobots and Decepticons have left Cybertron, what do you think/would like the next step to be?

Spoilers allowed because this thread is for those who have finished.

I was replaying Optimus' level the other day and as it led up to reviving Metroplex, I thought if they hadn't revealed Metroplex in the advertsing/box art, how much more impressive that moment would have been. Think about it, although I knew it was coming and had guessed that was I was going to find him soon (with the self moving corridors), although the lead up was exciting, I would have probably majorly squee-ed like a little girl if I hadn't known that Metro was in there until I pulled that lever. Bruticus is given away in the first level, so they could advertise him fine, but now I kind of wished that Metroplex hadn't been revealed until you play the game.

Also, watching the Good Game review of the game, Bajo commented that he thought the next game will be on Earth. I don't know about everyone else, but I don't want another game on Earth unless I am playing with G1 characters, most of the other TF games are on Earth. WFC was pretty. FOC made Cybertron look like a real planet! I would like to see more of Cybertron as there hasn't been all that much done really.

I think the 3rd game could look at other groups, perhaps Magnus/Hotrod and pals getting aorund on Cybertron and I would really like to see a story based on Fortress Maximus as he and his pacifist chums try to leave for Nebulos (assuming they hadn't already escaped that is, after all Optimus' group was the last shuttle). For enemies, we could have perhaps Straxus, or of course Scorponok. Although I'd be up for a game based on Nebulos for example, despite any games based on other groups missing the big name Transformers such as Megatron and Optimus, which I would see as a problem that would probably affect sales. Which then brings us to the point that with so much focus on Op and Megs, it hinders the characterisation somewhat. I'd bet that is a game based on Fort Max and Scorp did come out, 90% of the reviewers would whinge and moan about how they can't play as Optimus (despite playing as him in most of the other games...)

If we went for an Ultra Magnus story, Shockwave could be main bad guy. Plus at the end we didn't see what happens to Grimlock and the dinobots. I'd be all up for a game focused entirely on the Dinobots!

So, what do you guys n gals think?
