Transformers game

[raddimus]

Okay, ley me clarify myself.I was reffering to transformers energon the game for ps2.I'm not saying to make up new robots or anything of the sort.I was talking about the game play,and strategic qualities they could of added.The zoom modes and the alt mode transformation was far superior to the new game.I do admit the movie games graphics and looks were far superior but the fluidity and lack of character depths and missions were far weaker.Why not make the movie game not a freakin movie but a game?have zoom in capabilities energon blade capabilities and even throw in some possible things for the next movie like saying the way skorpinok came joined to black out but then black out used him as a wepon when fighting bee.

I knew what you meant as well rad. It's funny as you and I seem to be the only 2 who are on the same page here. The game that you and I both have referred to, was actually made here in australia by Melbourne house a division of atari. It was so well made that I don't know why TT didn't have a look at how it was done. I mean the level designs and character animations were so awesome to look at that some times I would just sit and stare at the screen at some of the beautiful renders.

Here are some screen shots over at gamefaqs for those who have yet to see this great game. Note some are blurry as no doubt they have been taken from the game during play.

This next pic is what I mean about the beautiful renders done.

Now as you can see hotshot with wings there, but it is the background that says it all.

Another from the same level, but a wide shot without a transformer in the way. The detail and whatnot is so good that it looks like a postcard. I mean take out those 2 blue beams shooting up into the air, (they are access portals back to autobot hq) and it looks like a photo taken of the amazon with some ruins.

Now me and rad have argued about the title, but as you can see it was aptly named transformers. Here in australia we had the cartoon show transformers armada which the game was based on. I don't know if what was called armada here was called a different title in the US. So to all sorry about the confusion.

[raddimus]

LMAO...MATE...LOL, hey,it was made there huh?trip!..out DUDE!,LOL.

I don't know if what was called armada here was called a different title in the US.

I suppose it was. "Armada" in the US, "Micron Densetsu" (~Legend of Microns) in Japan.

Okay, ley me clarify myself.I was reffering to transformers energon the game for ps2.

"Transformers Armada: Prelude to Energon" for PS2, eh.

Why not make the movie game not a freakin movie but a game? I'm not saying to make up new robots or anything of the sort.I was talking about the game play,and strategic qualities they could of added

You say true, they could and should be added. But not the same as in "Armada". New ones. According to the Movie.

have zoom in capabilities energon blade capabilities and even throw in some possible things for the next movie like saying the way skorpinok came joined to black out but then black out used him as a wepon when fighting bee.

Yes! Like this! Energon blade for Prime, advanced bare hands combat abilities for Barricade, scorponok as an ally for Blackout - more roleplay, I'd say. More difference for different game characters.

lol.I have never heard the game called armada.It's forien to my tongue.but here in the us it's called energon.

[Smokescreen_5]

lol.I have never heard the game called armada.It's forien to my tongue.but here in the us it's called energon.

I'm in the US as well. I don't beleive there was a game ever put out called Transformers Armada, but there was a game put out for Playstation 2 simply called Transformers by Atari that used the Armada figures. Here is the link: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/transformersarmada/

Edit: Ok so nevermind.. I clicked on the links and its the same game you were talking about.. Though you have different box art for European and Australian games I guess. All in all, its still Armada figures, not Energon. Not sure where the Energon thing came from. As far as I know, theres only been so many Transformers games out. There was a Transformers game for Nintendo way back when, then Beast Wars Transformers (Playstation), Beast Wars Transmetals (Playstation, N64), Transformers (Ps2 - w/ Armada figures), and Transformers the Movie (Numerous formats).

Raddimus, where is the Energon game you are talking about because I'm not familiar with it.

Did you actually look at the pics that I put up? It's the same game. It was just called transformers. It uses the armada transformers as I mentioned. So I have answered the question already that you have just asked now. All you have done is state what I said. Click on page three of this thread and near the bottom is a rather long post of mine with pics attached. I suggest you look at it. Then click on your link and voila the same game.

Also Rad I never said the game was called armada only it used the same characters. The only thing I did say was in regards to what the cartoon shows were called if they had different titles.

So why exactly are we discussing what I already said???

[raddimus]

lol prime is right.And it wasn't called just transformers...I have the freakin game it's called transformers energon...lmao some people just miss things prime.

Yeah I edited my post right before ya posted this.

[Smokescreen_5]

lol prime is right.And it wasn't called just transformers...I have the freakin game it's called transformers energon...lmao some people just miss things prime.

I'm looking at the game right in front of me right now that I posted a link for as well as what Prime posted a link for.. and I don't see anywhere on here that its called Transformers Energon, unless you are referring to a different game..

[Prime]

Ok sorry SS, rad why would it be called energon in the us when clearly it is the armada characters and in fact almost follows the same story from the cartoon? Spelling error maybe.

[raddimus]

trust me I have the game man it's called energon.hold on let me get the game I'' see if I can't post some pics

[Prime]

I don't doubt you rad I am just trying to work out why they would call it energon when it is clearly the armada series transformers in it. Coz it proves another thing in regards to continuity. As I mentioned it follows the cartoon story almost 100%. The only differences were there were less autobots in the game, they were still chasing the minicons and at the end you face off against unicron just like in the cartoon. Also clearly it was the armada prime, redalert and hotshot in the game and not their energon versions. So spelling error is right me thinks.

[raddimus]

lol,don't ask me why it isn't called armada.but in the openenig of game as well in start up page a transformer say transformers then a big fuckin lettering appears and it clearly says energon,lol.

[Smokescreen_5]

lol,don't ask me why it isn't called armada.but in the openenig of game as well in start up page a transformer say transformers then a big fuckin lettering appears and it clearly says energon,lol.

Ok.. ok.. I'll bite for a sec.. I'm gonna pop in the disk and see what happens.. gahhh...

[raddimus]

lol hold on I'm gonna pull up some pics.

[Prime]

Hang on, I'll just get some popcorn.

[Smokescreen_5]

lol hold on I'm gonna pull up some pics.

Ok.. I started up the game... It starts with the Atari symbol transforming into an autobot insignia. Then it says Melbourne house. Then it goes into a little CGI action of the game, and it still says Transformers. After that it comes to a blue page with Prime in the background and the start button flashing and still saying Transformers. If you either load or start a new game it goes to the screen where you pick your character, whether it be Prime, Hot Shot or Red Alert. Still not seeing anything that says Energon.

[raddimus]

LMAO I got my game at my brothers next door I'll have to play it in a minute I know it says energon somwhere,lol if you go to youtube and put transformers atari game you get all kinds of people who call it transformers energon.

[raddimus]

look go to youtube enter energon game and everyone who posted vid clearly call it energon.I know it's called transformers energon,lol.

Transformers for PlayStation 2

Consumer Rating: See 5 reviews | Write a review at Epinions.com Price Range: $70.00 - $108.00 at 2 stores
Transformers Armada marks the PS2 debut of Autobots waging their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons. You control Optimus Prime, Hotshot, or Red Alert, and you'll collect 50-plus Mini-cons to power up your stats or gain useful items.

Is this what your looking proof that there is a game made in Austraila called transformers Armada.

[raddimus]

thats the cover and what it's called in australia.here in the us the coverhold on I'm gonna scan the damn thing give me a sec,lol.

[IMT Guyver]

Here in Australia back in 2004 the Transformer game for the PS2 was called Transformers ARMADA.



Based on the new animated series, Transformers Armada: Prelude to the Energon is Atari's new action adventure, aimed at roping in new fans of the show and cooing back starry eyed oldsters.

This new game will be exclusive for the PS2 and is billed as a 'revolutionary' 3rd person game where the player takes control of an Autobot to lend a hand in the eternal fight against the Decepticons.

This game goes against the recent trend of games that feature drivable vehicles, since you automatically have the ultra-cool feature to turn into one and drive away. From articulated trucks to sports cars to...um...some sort of cheap VW Beetle rip-off.

In normal mode though, you'll be able to utilise various weapons including cluster rockets, homing missiles and vortex cannons. A cannon is not a cannon unless it's a vortex, I think.

Here's the sales pitch from Andrew Carter, VP of product development for Atari Melbourne:

"We're working diligently to develop a game that expands upon the TRANSFORMERS ARMADA brand to deliver a truly unique experience with intense gameplay, vast environments and an emphasis on combat. Every massive environment and character model will be delivered with an unprecedented level of visual realism by harnessing PlayStation 2 system's powerful graphics technology and techniques - resulting in incredible rendering effects and absolute immersion for players." Sounds lovely.

With the Armada expansion of the Transformer Universe came the ability to collect 'Mini-cons' and evolve your Autobot while the Decepticons vie for this ability also. The game puts emphasis on this ability, as a sort of 'power-up' and it is the aim of the game to free the Mini-con race, defeat Megatron & the Decepticlones thereby saving the planet Earth. Phew!

The game is set for PAL territories some time in the spring of 2004 for PlayStation 2 only.

I can't figure out how to post pics in my msg's.but I turned my avatar,into the cover of the game here in the us.
