Transformers game

[yoho]

Friends!
Armada or Energon... This is the same game, believe me. There are only three TF games on PS2. "Transformers: Tatakae" with a lot of G1 characters and "Transformers Armada: Prelude to Energon" and "Transformers: Movie" game.

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.

Thats the same game I have. Same cover. I don't see anything that says Transformers Armada: Prelude to Energon though. Not sure where it came from or why people on YouTube call it that. I'm guessing it was called that in a country outside of the US

[raddimus]

I dont know either bout the prelude thing but my game says energon in the options screen.lol and yes we know were all talking bout the same game what we are debating is where the energon title came from as this is a game involving armada characters,lol.

[IMT Guyver]

Here in Australia we called the game TRANSFORMERS ARMADA FOR THE PS2
by the looks of it you Americans called it Transformers Armada: Prelude to Energon or just Transformers Energon but we are all talking about the same game.

Holy crap we have a debate on our hands here. Thank god no one is at each other's throats here. Now I have gone back to page 3 where I put up the pics and I looked over the first link and this is what I found.

The first europe cover, australia gets the same covers that euro gets.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/...html?box=52063

The US cover obviouly different but it is the same one in rad's avatar. But notice it clearly says just Transformers on the cover there.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/...html?box=69240

Then a year later they released the director's cut in euro which from what I see is no different, just a blue cover.

You may have misread somewhere in the game manual perhaps rad that it says something about a prelude to energon. But no where on the game cover does it say transformers armada: prelude to energon.

SS you are right in regards to the intro movies and the premovie just before the first level starts, as I have do have the game as mentioned and I remember that part of it. Of special note is the minicon ship, straight out of the cartoon. The only thing I missed was Prime's power link with his trailer. That would have been cool if they got that in.

[raddimus]

finally back on,lol.Okay I not only beleive but am not positive it says energon in the manuel...However my game the cover just says tf;However my game when playing does say transformers energon.And this is why me and many others refer to the game as transformers energon.

Well it is possible you got a completed beta copy with some of the bugs still present. They shipped it without thought not realising that was the case.

[raddimus]

BUGS? huh the game works fine,lol you mean I got the collectors edition friend.

I wonder... I actually picked up the Playstation magazine issue #82 I believe it was that had the demo version of the Transformers (Armada) game in it as well.. I'll have to take a look at that copy again to see if it says anything about a prelude to energon or something of that nature..

No I meant the beta version of transformers before they completed it. During that time they usually throw around title ideas, it probably just so happened that during that time "prelude to energon" was considered as armada takes place before energon anyway. We'll never really know as melbourne house has disolved into atari now. (I mean I could ring them as I have done before when the game came out, I actually managed to talk to the game producer, hey don't ask me how that happened. I just picked up the phone and asked the operator for the number for melbourne house..the rest is history.)

I know you are inching to know what he said, well I did ask at the time if they were working on a sequel, they said they were. Now this was over 3 years ago. So it's safe to say that a sequel is not on the cards as they well and truely missed the boat there.

I did tell him that I was impressed with them getting the voice cast from armada into the game, mainly prime and megatron. Gary Chalk and David Kaye respectively.

My main point of ringing him was to congratulate at the time, a great game worthy to hold the transformers title. He was a bit taken aback at how direct I was being as well he like me is an aussie and when we have something to say we say it. He actually said that he was impressed with the reception of the game so far at the time. Why a sequel was never made we will never know.

Ok, my bad.. it was Playstation Issue #81, not #82. On page 92 of the issue it has a review of the game and some of the things in it as well as the extras. All thru the article it refers to the game being based on the Transformers Armada series. The only time it says anything about Energon, is where there are extras. In the Comics section it states "Transformers has four minicomics to unlock. They're based on the Armada and Energon universes, which both feature characters who apparently repeat their English phrases in French and Spanish".

That you are right on. The comics were a mixed bunch and some of it created more questions that it answered. I think they did it as a lead up to energon by adding them as datacons to find thru the game to unlock.

[raddimus]

yhea I found everthing except like three things.and I never saw prelude anywhere never even heard it called that here.just energon in the game...I got to find my manuel and scan a pic of it,I think it shows energon in the title their.
