WFC2 - Fall of Cybertron game revealed

[theheretic]

LOL, yup. I am not holding my breath though because so far Highmoon Studios is trying to explain it away as a 'natural progression'.

As for me, I am praying to the plastic gods that he gets made into a voyageur class figure along with a couple more WFC characters. WFC Combaticon figs would be cooler than a frozen Chuck Norris.

Why is Grimlocks alt mode a problem for people? He was only a special character for 1 of the 4 platforms WFC was on and wasn't includes in anyway in PS3 or XBox story OR WFC novel so in my opinion he was just a bonus

Grimlock will be a dinosaur cos that's how everyone (read: non-fans) remembers him.

that and dinosaurs are just cool especially robot dinosaurs

Why is Grimlocks alt mode a problem for people?

1: It doesn't make sense for any Transformer to transform into an Earthen alt mode prior to contact with Earth (or any other place which may have similar life forms). This is something that Transformers has established since the beginning of G1; they only acquired their Earthen modes after arriving on Earth, or in some cases, in preparation to going to Earth (but it still meant that the Transformers had already had prior contact with Earth and thus access to things on it).

2: It's inconsistent. We've not seen any other WFCverse Transformer with a distinctly Earthen Alt Mode.

So, it appears to be Classics Grimlock on one Magazine cover?

It doesn't look like Classics Grimlock to me - looks like a whole new design, but it certainly looks like a robotic T-Rex to me.

F-22 Raptors are freakin' awesome too, but how would you feel if Starscream transformed into one instead of a Cybertronian jet while all the other Decepticons are Cybertronian vehicles? Lamborghini Diablos are cool too, but it might seem odd for WFC Sideswipe to transform into one on pre-Earth contact Cybertron while other Autobots don't.

As weird as it was in Challenge of the Gobots for the Gobots to all transform into Earth vehicles prior to contact with Earth, at least they were consistent. And it's not often I ever say anything positive about Gobots!

Grimlock... I was talking about Prime, his groovy new design and the hopes that the game (or the tie in media) show us what's happened to our fave Autobot leader to turn him in to the badass bot he is in the new game.

There's a potentially fun little side story in that.

On another note I love the way the highmoon studio artist refers to OP's new alt mode as a fist with wheels. Excellent.

Maybe he's not a Dinosaur but a mobile cybertronian trash compactor? It coincidently resembles a dinosaur or something...

I remember seeing dinosaur bones in some horrible CGI animated series that followed beast wars....thus cybertron must have had some firm of dinosaur on it at some stage and maybe somewhere below the surface there still is. I also remember the quintessons had monster experiments left on cybertron, so why not a dinosaur too?

Maybe he saw Trypticons robot mode and thought "Thats bad ass. I might change into that" because lets face it in WFC there is not really a need for any alt modes as they aren't used for disguises. Sure they use their alt modes as modes for transportation but maybe Grimlock lives in an area where it's a benefit for him to change into that mode. Really before we see every bit of information we can't comment as to why his alt mode is what it is.

I have 14 months to finish the first game

I'm sure they (the developers) will explain the design choice for Grimlock when they are ready. For now, I'm keeping it together

[kup]

Primus did it!
