Lmao Brawl is an actual child, Blackout is a weirdo, Barricade is a cop, Starscream is a weasle who actually betrays the Decepticons and Megatron IS Megatron. The DS game characterized the Decepticons more than all 5 Michael Bay movies.
I absolutely love how well starscream was handled in this game. His lying and scheming personality was brought to his full potential and the plot twist that revealed him as the main antagonist was perfect. Never saw him as main villain material, but the writers turned him from a spineless coward into one of the most despicable transformers villains ever. The writers shoving optimus prime and Megatron aside as main villains was quite a risky move, but it was worth it. The writers of this game need to be brought back to work on other transformers projects. They know how to make a story and keep it faithful to the original lore
@@unicorntomboy9736 it's because he was brainwashed by Starscream at first. The other Decepticons were loyal to Megatron, while Starscream just wants everything for himself
@@robertlopez7888 I do like the Create-a-Bot in this version far more than in the Autobot version, who was a bit too childish and incompetent to me. I do like both versions of Create-a-Bots in the Revenge of the Fallen sequel DS game though.
@@jg14gerhard_bar In the Autobot version ok but in the Decepticon version that was unfair you sacrifies you for help your leader to kill a traitor and finally when you won you get killed because you are Dommaged. And Megatron was Dead in the second movie but Decepticon still help him.. Like he said the stronger survive survive but he violated this rule and don't be let abandoned by others decepticon..
3:48 "You Autobots are no better than we Decepticons, We might be a on opposite sides but we're both playing the same game" Now that's a quote that speaks the truth and both sides are playing a Deadly Game
@Nathaniel Winchester I like how they gave Blackout this strange sassy attitude sometimes. Like you'd expect him to be just a no thinking hard hitter like Brawl but he's actually very polite and professionnal sounding. I really like what they made with them, it really felt like an actual group of decepticons rather than straight up monsters without any dialogue.
Barricade: Rookie you don’t want to mess with Optimus. Many decepticons ended up in the scrap yard because they underestimated him. Well. Now we know what happened to bonecrusher in this game
This game has awesome voice acting and story. It truly focuses on the war between the Decepticons and the Autobots. The ending is not the happiest, but it is brilliant! It truly shows Megatron as the true evil being he is, and how inexperienced the rookie was with the Decepticon's philosophy.
The Shiny Sylveon31 ikr I at least thought he was gonna turn up at the end and help fight stars cream or get killed by him in the first also boss fight.
Speaking of the excellent story. I wonder how revenge of the fallen went down in this timeline. Imagine this: Sam does his quest to revive Prime early, sector seven revives some of the fallen transformers via cube shards, your character gets ressurected by the idiot humans using allspark shard and escape. The autobot player from the other ds game becomes your nemesis. Then the egypt battle happens, optimus revies,cue the touch cause megateon has to be stopped no matter the cost. Your 'con fights his autobot rival, optimus sacrifices himself to take out the fallen cause he didnt have jetfire give him a power boost. You avenge yourself and beat megatron. Your rival suceed's optimus. You end up brokering a piece with the new prime due to witnessing firsthand the cruelty of Megatron, and on the condition that your fallen decepticon comrades be ressurected via the matrix. You get a headpat from barricade for being decepticon enough to best megatron. And everything is good until Quintessa revives sentinel prime. There you go,the best sequel to a surprisingly high quality ds tf game that was never made.
@Godzilla fan 2022 productions 2.0 Trust me man, I know his work for Spawn more than any other of his roles, since Spawn is my favourite character and Keith David is one of my favourite voice actors.
This game I think was more creative than other iterations, particularly the console/pc version. This had more cutscenes, character arcs and development, even a diverse caste of boss fights. Boss fight Stages with Bumblebee, short but sweet fight with Ratchet and Copterbots, jumpy boss fight with Jazz, a calculated fight with Ironhide, and you'd think it ends with Optimus Prime but it ends as Starscream as the final boss flying through the city with the power of the allspark. Additionally, you fight Bumblebee one last time as Starscream and after that get a Decepticon on Decepticon fight! This game is better than people give it credit.
I played both. Autobots imo has a lot of extra unnecessary missions while Decepticons is more straightforward with a better plot and character development.
But my favourite voice and the most coolest Decepticon voice ever is Blackout.Holy shit man.What an excellent voice.Blackout voice is so edgy,so violent,and screams evil.Blackout is my favourite Decepticon from the live action movies.
I always did like how this version establishes how professional and competent the Decepticons are supposed to be. Even G1 makes the Decepticons seem pretty incompetent with the same 4 (sometimes 5) people trying to constantly kill each other with little motivation besides simply being evil. In this version the Decepticons share values like respect and discipline (mainly from Barricade), you can at least see why the Decepticons see themselves as heroes of their own story. Now about the movie...
Some Decepticons have discipline and respect like Dreadwing from Transformers Prime, Onslaught in some way and Soundwave, while others like Starscream, Blitzwing and Octane are pretty mucho bunch of jerks who plans to betray or perform schemes on others, Megatron is mostly neutral depending which Decepticons he is with, he respects Soundwave, Shockwave and others, but with Starscream, Breakdown, etc the treats badly when it comes to there whining, incompetence or treachery.
@@darkside9547 The Marvel comics did do things better than most, especially in the UK expanded stories where Starscream and Shockwave used to be the original leaders of what became the Decepticons and Megatron legitimately having friends in the ranks like Ravage and the Insecticons (the last one is weird) it's even implied that killing each other is a taboo even to Megatron (hence why he doesn't kill Starscream or Shockwave). But you still have the problem that a lot of them seem evil for the sake of it.
Man, it's a goddamn shame that Keith David doesn't play Barricade as often. He really adds depth for a decepticon character. Noah Nelson wasn't so bad either. EDIT: I especially love how the quality of their voice-acting's not as edited like in the PS2/Xbox/PC/Wii versions.

@Big White Duck Autobots is the same expect, instead of The desert, there is the Artic, but The story and voice acting and characters are better in the decepticons version.
@@drwhite7285 yeah I had the autobots version. Years later I got the deceptions cause I always wanted to try it. The autobots had the most amazing story.
TCH-3380 , he knew the stakes and he has only diversion so megatron could wake up and cacht them to get allspark, unless he died with decepticon side him.
This was my first ever DS game. It was amazing back then and still has some appealing aspects to this day. Actual vouce acting, fun gameplay, a large variety of vehicle modes to choose from... I'm really glad they made a version exclusively exploring the decepticon side of the story (with an evil ending to go with it)
Elio Sejano I never played the autobot version a whole lot but I like that they cut out the Sam Witwicky plot and focused solely on the autobots for that version. Not that Sam didn't have his small moments in the first movie but I really like that they focused on the actual transformers instead of making them a bunch of supporting characters for some kid who just happens to be the grandson of the guy who saw Megatron in Antarctica.
Elio Sejano YES it cut out so much filler that didn't contribute to the story! It's a shame they don't make video games based on movies like they used to.
4:16. Love the delivery of Barricade's line here. And Keith David's Barricade in general. Getting in any chance to be a bastard :) Totally dismissive, gets the rookie to do stuff for him, rookie gets in trouble for it and then Barricade tells the guy he was doing them a favour, and that's just a couple of cutscenes.
Realistically, this story was one of the best ive seen in ANY game, let alone ds. The Voice acting is also great, and the fucKING PLOT TWISTS. Transformers Decepticons was the best (and better than autobots). The soudn design was fucking cool too. Plus, it was free roam!! I need to find out who made the sound, and the company who developed this awesome game. True nostalgia.
Unless you went in the back door into the underground base, made your way to the opening barricade came in from, and walked to where Jazz is (who is stuck on the hill wall) and take him out with no problems. He will take damage as you walk through the underground base
God, that would be so amazing. It would also be cool to have a final battle pitting Starscream and the rookie against Barricade, Blackout, and Brawl. Then, after the three are killed, Starscream drinks it in and gloats about how he will never have to deal with Megatron as an obstacle to his ambitions again. He declares that the reign of Starscream has just begun and that "I helped you become a formidable Decepticon that even Megatron could not kill. I have truly taught you well." However, the rookie then says offscreen, "Indeed you have." We then see a sword pierce through his chest, through his spark, and slice upwards through his shoulder. Starscream then falls to the ground, looking at the rookie with shock and betrayal lining his face as his life fades from his optics. The rookie, unlike the Megatron option, demonstrates that he has come to understand the Decepticon philosophy and says to his dying master, "For one so versed in deception and subtlety, you failed to remember one thing that all Decepticons live by: Don't. Trust. Anybody." He then fired into his wounded chest, completely destroying his spark and life force. The rookie then takes the AllSpark and contacts the other Decepticons across the universe, saying that they have defeated the Autobots, but at the cost of all Decepticons on Earth except him (he's obviously lying when implying the Autobots killed them). Since the AllSpark has been claimed, their conquest of the universe can truly begin. After ending his transmission, he then raises the AllSpark above his head proclaiming "All Hail (Insert rookie name here)!"
I would like to see a new game with this type of development. Anyway, here's a funfact: the megatron's model in this game is the rejected one with other head, meanwhile in the text from below has the finished design.
HT82 Smash Are you kidding me right now? Let me remind you, you’re talking to a guy with 6 million kills and only 1 death. Now tell me how the Joker is better, go on, i’m listening...
Funny enough, when Megatron beats Starscream, he isn't guilty of anything but failure. "Failure" to overthrow Megatron. Megatron really is a true follower of his code.
In terms of writing, characterisation and voice acting, I truly believe these games are knockouts. Starscream in particular was flawlessly realised here, and is is one of the best representations of the character in all Transformers media.
3:49 ha, I love the clever use of this exchange is in both versions. Also the line “we may be on the same side, but we’re both playing the same game.” So in like two different universes these two decide the fate of the war
I have noticed that in many vehicle forms, Constructacon is cycloptic, and to a degree, he resembles Nitro Zeus, so I decided to write a story based on this game about how Nitro Zeus would have participated in the gaming franchise during and after the War for the Allspark.
I wish that this game can be put on app store or google play. Until now I have the two versions of this game and it's very fun to play when multiplayer but sadly u can't play online or wi-fi, which gives you the cheats and other vehicles, especially the jet. In this game though, the advantage is that you have jet form using starscream or megatron and tank form using brawl. Sometimes I wish that they also included in the list of scan videos, the military vehicles such as the tank or the jeeps with turrets, heck I wish we can scan starscream to get the jet. LOL
+MARK LOUIE GARCIA I wished that so much times! I've scanned Starscream, Megatron, the All Spark and all military vehicles when I was playing this game for first time.
+Elio Sejano Para mi, es mucho mejor en Ingles que español porque no es porque no me gusta, pero en mi opinion sale las voces originales y se puede sentir como realmente hablan. En español, se cambia el tono, si pudiese copiar el tono, sonaria mucho mejor y puedes sentirlo cuando hablan. Nota: en este commentario no puse ningun tilde porque me da pereza. LOL
MARK LOUIE GARCIA Actually,since I have 2 ds systems and both versions of this, game I Decided to see if multilplayer works...To my surprise it actually did work! I'm not sure if it's local only,but it works for me (although I have no one to play with rip)
6:49 what I like about this scene is that in the autobot version starscream goes to Antarctica himself so I like to think that he went there to try and kill Megatron himself.
The storyline on the ds mode for both autobot and deception is fantastic especially the dialogue. It is shared between all robots equally that I love. So that we actually get to know about the robots in a way unlike the bay formers movies did. The story writers for both ds games need to be revived and put for future transformer games.
I like how the Decepticons were a lot more tactical and the missions were far not strategic in this game, while the Autobots version was more intelligence and peacekeeping. Great and interesting story for this version, but I'm a sucker for the Autobots.
Barricade’s Voice Actor is the same as the Voodoo Dr. from Princess and the Frog. (Keith David) I think he does one of the best portrayals of Barricade in the franchise’s history
Things that i just Learn From The Decepticon ver: - Barricade was a True Teacher - Starscream still going to Betrayed his Leader - Whenever u see Brawl want to destroy stuff let him be.
Barricade is probably the best part of the story as he influences the main character to change more then any other characters do, he seems to be the character you talk to the most for the game as well
"We might be on opposite sides, but we're both playing the same game" is a very appropriate reference to the Autobot version of this classic and vice versa!
If ever I acquire this masterpiece, I'm thinking to name my Create-A-Con Dropkick (as his canonical alt-mode appears to be a pickup truck, in addition to taking up a helicopter later on).
i remember how annoying was it to fight star scream as the rookie and after all my hard work my character gets murdered by megatron god that was infuriating, but i still love this game.
Barricade: 1:41 I didn't ask any help you're going to Slow Me Down rookie 2:42 Yeah and that's why I'm not acting right now you're a liability you don't blame a squat here on Earth scan the vehicle form then we'll talk 3:01 there, was that so hard? 4:02 All you have to do is ask nice 5:08 got a job for you rookie you up for it or you still Roar about me hitting you...?? 4:38 eheh... light up rookie I was just trying to tech you a lesson. 5:10 you're up for it, or you still me roar about me hitting you? 5:16 That's what i like Hear. 7:21 that would make things easier 7:44 Ahhhhhh... 14:04 the core power plant should give me the juice 15:57 great the sheriff's in town 17:52 Because there're weak. Weakness breeds fear. makes every ally an enemy. That's why we decepticon don't tolerate weakness. 18:36 Megatron will have, the ball-bearing to do to your face. now, let's move out. 25:21 Please rest for a moment, Lord. Give your repair systems time to heal you. 21:07 "Don't make me confiscate your weapon chip." 23:37 there must be a control room somewhere 23:42 Bingo finally I've found you 29:40 your own protege later on you
The memories. This game looking back on it was not the absolute best compared to today's standard, especially in graphics, but it was still awesome. Like this game made you feel in tune with the story and gave the Deceptions personality. Rather than making them look like brute bullet sponges just waiting to blow up... I wonder what this game would be like it it got revamped and redone today. Now that is a game i would love to play forever.
@@tobsonasanya4765 There is more Transformers characters time on the screen and the robots actually feel and are not some linear NPCs without soul or generic narrative. Including Sam in the movies and this strong human activity there was a reduction of the sceeen time of all Transformers, especially most of the decepticons who became important and strong as an ordinary drones. It is no wonder why people feel this disappointment against the Bay movies.
@@eliosejano but this part is more decepticon focused. I don't really see the film doing that unless it was a show. Also what about megatron or starscream here. Aren't they kinda pure evil or something
this shit was my childhood! i remember playing it in the back of my parents trucks on vacations, and on the way to school, damn do i miss those times...
One of my earlier memories was going to Toys R Us with my mom for my first DS Lite and I guess there was a promotion for a free game and the clerk asked if I wanted “the good guys or the bad guys” and I answered “the bad guys” and mom said “he’ll take the good guys thank you” and so I only got to play the Autobots version of the game lol
It really says something when a DS game from 2007 outdoes not only its console counterpart in terms of story, characters and gameplay, but the movie it was based on in the first place. Talk about working beyond the tools you're given.
Sound effects weren’t my favorite but this story is amazing on both versions. The voice acting and characters are amazing. One of my favorite actors is Keith David and I love to hear him more as Barricade. Some voices aren’t my favorite, Brawl and Blackout sound very stupid compared to the Console versions because they don’t have a robotic filter.
18:00 this is for shadowing 2 things 1 starscream orders rookie to kill Megatron while he's frozen essentially killing him in his sleep 2 megatron does indeed kill rookie later on straight to his face
oh my god at the start b the first thing arricade says "so you think you know what it means to be a decepticon now" and at his death he says "now you know what it means to be a decepticon" ffs I love this game
I know this old lol 😂 I always wondered the same thing either starscream killed him because brawl was on bumblebee to get the allspark or prime ran into him and killed him
it's implied that he died in mission city. proven by the rookies lines "but barricade and the others" others implies at least more than one died along with barricade. we know blackout died and obviously the rookie wouldn't count starscream so that just leaves brawl as the only possible candidate.

Starscream:Is that so Barricade....? No matter,I believe you will fall just as he did. *ARISE,MY ARMY!!!*
Barricade:Your not the only one with a few friends,astro-loss.I suggest you start realizing the power of loyalty.
*[*Blackout,Brawl,Frenzy and even Soundwave* (If the game got updated or somethin') *transform from behind Barricade,Sounwave falling from the sky.*]*
*[*The Screen fades to black as a Close-Up to the Rookie's face followed by the words-*]* *"END THEM!!!"*
If only the other Transformers ds games were as good as this one..
@Big White Duck Autobots is the same expect, instead of The desert, there is the Artic, but The story and voice acting and characters are better in the decepticons version.
War for Cybertron is fun on DS, both versions.
@@ht82smash42 yeah loved that one. That was great, would've been better with free roam
@@drwhite7285 yeah I had the autobots version. Years later I got the deceptions cause I always wanted to try it. The autobots had the most amazing story.
@@zabbas9371 Facts.
I like how Starscream is actually treacherous and competent at the same time
Blackout: Gentlemen, I'm afraid we have unexpected guests. I suspect Sector 7 is aware of our plans.
Jetfire-2017 Ik so chill even when enemies are spotted!
Jetfire-2018 AutoButts
Militia Pilot SRS Noah Nelson REALLY adds to it!
You:Scan them,they could be...
Brawl:AUTOBOTS!
You:I’ll take the Leader,you take on the rest.
Ratchet:All forces,move in and attack!
17:05 At least one Decepticon is smart!
HT82 Smash this is why barricade is best bot.
HT82 Smash instead you attack bumblebee
Yeah that's true
Ironic that he fought Optimus Prime in the Autobots Version.
TCH-3380 , he knew the stakes and he has only diversion so megatron could wake up and cacht them to get allspark, unless he died with decepticon side him.
The speech at 25:50 was my favourite part of the game
In my case it figures in my top 10 best parts of this game.
This was my first ever DS game. It was amazing back then and still has some appealing aspects to this day. Actual vouce acting, fun gameplay, a large variety of vehicle modes to choose from...
I'm really glad they made a version exclusively exploring the decepticon side of the story (with an evil ending to go with it)
+Charzard king01 I'm glad like you that they have done this. It's an amazing game for me as well as the autobots version.
Elio Sejano
I never played the autobot version a whole lot but I like that they cut out the Sam Witwicky plot and focused solely on the autobots for that version. Not that Sam didn't have his small moments in the first movie but I really like that they focused on the actual transformers instead of making them a bunch of supporting characters for some kid who just happens to be the grandson of the guy who saw Megatron in Antarctica.
+Charzard king01 Same. At least in the game we can see how would be if Sam wasn't in the movie. For me is fantastic.
Elio Sejano
YES it cut out so much filler that didn't contribute to the story! It's a shame they don't make video games based on movies like they used to.
4:16. Love the delivery of Barricade's line here. And Keith David's Barricade in general. Getting in any chance to be a bastard :)
Totally dismissive, gets the rookie to do stuff for him, rookie gets in trouble for it and then Barricade tells the guy he was doing them a favour, and that's just a couple of cutscenes.
if this actually was a movie
Back when the transformers games were not shit
Tbf there's only been a couple of bad ones recently. WFC and FOC were the peak.
@@dmaxwell910901 i disagree WFC and FOC were good it was with rise of the Darkspark that killed the game series
What about Transformers Devastation?
@@eggoryheffley7569 devastation was good but it was in the hole that rise of the darkspark made
@@Robotvike1996 fr devastation was so good I remember getting it when I first got my xbox one good memories
Realistically, this story was one of the best ive seen in ANY game, let alone ds. The Voice acting is also great, and the fucKING PLOT TWISTS. Transformers Decepticons was the best (and better than autobots). The soudn design was fucking cool too. Plus, it was free roam!! I need to find out who made the sound, and the company who developed this awesome game. True nostalgia.
That battle against jazz was the hardest mission of the game
Unless you cheese it by luring Jazz into the water
Unless you went in the back door into the underground base, made your way to the opening barricade came in from, and walked to where Jazz is (who is stuck on the hill wall) and take him out with no problems. He will take damage as you walk through the underground base
Blackout: If you two fembots are done then let's get to work.
Don't take my lines...
Ahh come on, I like that line besides its ok to share lines with all bots and cons.
Either of you play Transformers Earth Wars?
Blackout The Decepticon Found you.
+Bonecrusher The Decepticon And I'm glad he did too. He's a very useful Decepticon. XD
Still a better story than The Last Knight
I lost my copy of the deception version and this is one of the best ways to relive the magic.
You can download it from ROM Hustler or Emuparadise and play it to Desmume emulator.
I only had the Decepticons version and I played the hell out of it as a kid. Too bad I lost it and I can't find it anywhere in my house
The Engie That Cried Nope same
The Engie That Cried Nope Piracy and emulation
The Engie That Cried Nope brooo thats so me right now this game was the sh*t back then & rn i really wanna play it !
I played it too.
Then buy a new one
Keith David voicing Barricade is so cool, such a good fit.
He sounds like Frank Welkef
I would make a deciding choice were you can save megatron and be with him and barricade or kill him and still be loyal to starscream.
Yes, it could be cool!
Funny thing is you'd probably be better off with starscream considering Megatron ends up killing you.
What about a third choice where you take the allspark for yourself. All hail (insert name here)!
@@azariyelvarro6271 Michael, the most fearless decepticon
God, that would be so amazing. It would also be cool to have a final battle pitting Starscream and the rookie against Barricade, Blackout, and Brawl.
Then, after the three are killed, Starscream drinks it in and gloats about how he will never have to deal with Megatron as an obstacle to his ambitions again. He declares that the reign of Starscream has just begun and that "I helped you become a formidable Decepticon that even Megatron could not kill. I have truly taught you well."
However, the rookie then says offscreen, "Indeed you have." We then see a sword pierce through his chest, through his spark, and slice upwards through his shoulder. Starscream then falls to the ground, looking at the rookie with shock and betrayal lining his face as his life fades from his optics.
The rookie, unlike the Megatron option, demonstrates that he has come to understand the Decepticon philosophy and says to his dying master, "For one so versed in deception and subtlety, you failed to remember one thing that all Decepticons live by: Don't. Trust. Anybody." He then fired into his wounded chest, completely destroying his spark and life force.
The rookie then takes the AllSpark and contacts the other Decepticons across the universe, saying that they have defeated the Autobots, but at the cost of all Decepticons on Earth except him (he's obviously lying when implying the Autobots killed them). Since the AllSpark has been claimed, their conquest of the universe can truly begin.
After ending his transmission, he then raises the AllSpark above his head proclaiming "All Hail (Insert rookie name here)!"
I would like to see a new game with this type of development.
Anyway, here's a funfact: the megatron's model in this game is the rejected one with other head, meanwhile in the text from below has the finished design.
Oic
Ok that always threw me off
Starscream was pretty chill at the start of the game but once he actually shows up you can tell he's slowly losing his shit as the game progresses
"The weak only serve to benefit the strong".
FUUUCK man. That's deep.
Best adaptation of barricade
Decepticon: I’m going to kill all those auto bots
Barricade: Were it so easy
Holy shit I never knew Steve Blum voiced you in this game.
Danielle Pluzsik Ayyy
The Joker Nice going joker, but we all know who’s the better villain here.
@@imbakestation6159 Yeah, not you
HT82 Smash Are you kidding me right now? Let me remind you, you’re talking to a guy with 6 million kills and only 1 death. Now tell me how the Joker is better, go on, i’m listening...
I meet him
Brawl's voice is somewhat funny it makes me laugh sometimes
And Shockwave in Prime.
@Srikanth Ramprasad I thought you said Prime Shockwave. Not Shockwave in Prime. Late night.
Funny enough, when Megatron beats Starscream, he isn't guilty of anything but failure. "Failure" to overthrow Megatron. Megatron really is a true follower of his code.
Oh shit
Imagine if they released this with better quality
3:52 that scene was in the other game
+Kungfu Endermen Master True.
At this too 16:07....
This game was my childhood
In terms of writing, characterisation and voice acting, I truly believe these games are knockouts. Starscream in particular was flawlessly realised here, and is is one of the best representations of the character in all Transformers media.
3:49 ha, I love the clever use of this exchange is in both versions. Also the line “we may be on the same side, but we’re both playing the same game.”
So in like two different universes these two decide the fate of the war
Must resist, those deception characters looks cool to play in free play, but, my allegiance is to the Autobots
I'm sure the decepticons will have a worthy opponent like you! :D
Is_a_me _a_bruh Same though
I used to love this game. But I was young and all I did was drive around in different cars and pretend Sam was in the game. So many memories!
33:12 Megatron would be great at CinemaSins!
True. He is a self centered narcissist who can’t understand when he’s wrong.
I have noticed that in many vehicle forms, Constructacon is cycloptic, and to a degree, he resembles Nitro Zeus, so I decided to write a story based on this game about how Nitro Zeus would have participated in the gaming franchise during and after the War for the Allspark.
Keith David is so iconic as the voice actor for Barricade
I wish that this game can be put on app store or google play. Until now I have the two versions of this game and it's very fun to play when multiplayer but sadly u can't play online or wi-fi, which gives you the cheats and other vehicles, especially the jet. In this game though, the advantage is that you have jet form using starscream or megatron and tank form using brawl. Sometimes I wish that they also included in the list of scan videos, the military vehicles such as the tank or the jeeps with turrets, heck I wish we can scan starscream to get the jet. LOL
+MARK LOUIE GARCIA I wished that so much times! I've scanned Starscream, Megatron, the All Spark and all military vehicles when I was playing this game for first time.
+Elio Sejano Para mi, es mucho mejor en Ingles que español porque no es porque no me gusta, pero en mi opinion sale las voces originales y se puede sentir como realmente hablan. En español, se cambia el tono, si pudiese copiar el tono, sonaria mucho mejor y puedes sentirlo cuando hablan. Nota: en este commentario no puse ningun tilde porque me da pereza. LOL
Same and I also tried to scan Megatron and almost every boss in the autobots version. So good times :)
MARK LOUIE GARCIA
Actually,since I have 2 ds systems and both versions of this, game I Decided to see if multilplayer works...To my surprise it actually did work! I'm not sure if it's local only,but it works for me (although I have no one to play with rip)
18:31
"Ball Bearings"
Ball bearings are made by humans as well..

XD what the hell lol
31:23 He doesn't seem surprised to see Optimus! I mean, he was frozen for a million years!
A million years is like a month to transformers
@@dcspidey1218 Transformers only live up to 100,000 years old.
@@unicorntomboy9736 transformers have proven that they can live for millions of years
@@dcspidey1218 So Bumblebee is 1 million years old
@@unicorntomboy9736 possibly
6:49 what I like about this scene is that in the autobot version starscream goes to Antarctica himself so I like to think that he went there to try and kill Megatron himself.
I think that as well.
I noticed that too. It was a nice touch.
@@collegechair You're god damn right. 😎
The storyline on the ds mode for both autobot and deception is fantastic especially the dialogue. It is shared between all robots equally that I love. So that we actually get to know about the robots in a way unlike the bay formers movies did. The story writers for both ds games need to be revived and put for future transformer games.
I like how the Decepticons were a lot more tactical and the missions were far not strategic in this game, while the Autobots version was more intelligence and peacekeeping. Great and interesting story for this version, but I'm a sucker for the Autobots.
28:57 What did he think would happen?!
Maybe he hoped starscream would go on a villanous monologue and buy time for the others? But yeah that was pretty dumb of him.
26:00 That's the Megatron I know!
One of the best scenes from the entire game in my opinion!
For Optimus Prime to shut the utter darkness down of him. 👍
i cant belive that i use to play this game as a kid
I WANT THAT GAME I FINNISHED THE AUTOBOT GAME 7 YEARS AGO!!!
you did I'm Brian
I'm almost done
Robert Medrano same
The character development of your Decepticon is fascinating. I loved the story for this now that I'm older.
Barricade’s Voice Actor is the same as the Voodoo Dr. from Princess and the Frog. (Keith David) I think he does one of the best portrayals of Barricade in the franchise’s history
Things that i just Learn From The Decepticon ver:
- Barricade was a True Teacher
- Starscream still going to Betrayed his Leader
- Whenever u see Brawl want to destroy stuff let him be.
wow. dicepticons version is much better than autobots one. this is amazing!
spyper343 that is actaully true!
Yeah. Villains are usually more interesting than the heroes for me.
Barricade is probably the best part of the story as he influences the main character to change more then any other characters do, he seems to be the character you talk to the most for the game as well
4:47 Keith David was Barricade in this?! That’s so awesome!
"We might be on opposite sides, but we're both playing the same game" is a very appropriate reference to the Autobot version of this classic and vice versa!
If ever I acquire this masterpiece, I'm thinking to name my Create-A-Con Dropkick (as his canonical alt-mode appears to be a pickup truck, in addition to taking up a helicopter later on).
Yep,better than the autobots version.
I'm happy to know that we think the same! :)
Elio Sejano
I hope The Game Verson of The Last Knight is be an Badass Game as this one.
i remember how annoying was it to fight star scream as the rookie
and after all my hard work
my character gets murdered by megatron
god that was infuriating,
but i still love this game.
Barricade:
1:41 I didn't ask any help you're going to Slow Me Down rookie
2:42 Yeah and that's why I'm not acting right now you're a liability you don't blame a squat here on Earth scan the vehicle form then we'll talk
3:01 there, was that so hard?
4:02 All you have to do is ask nice
5:08 got a job for you rookie you up for it or you still Roar about me hitting you...??
4:38 eheh... light up rookie I was just trying to tech you a lesson.
5:10 you're up for it, or you still me roar about me hitting you?
5:16 That's what i like Hear.
7:21 that would make things easier
7:44 Ahhhhhh...
14:04 the core power plant should give me the juice
15:57 great the sheriff's in town
17:52 Because there're weak. Weakness breeds fear. makes every ally an enemy. That's why we decepticon don't tolerate weakness.
18:36 Megatron will have, the ball-bearing to do to your face. now, let's move out.
25:21 Please rest for a moment, Lord. Give your repair systems time to heal you.
21:07 "Don't make me confiscate your weapon chip."
23:37 there must be a control room somewhere
23:42 Bingo finally I've found you
29:40 your own protege later on you
The memories. This game looking back on it was not the absolute best compared to today's standard, especially in graphics, but it was still awesome. Like this game made you feel in tune with the story and gave the Deceptions personality. Rather than making them look like brute bullet sponges just waiting to blow up... I wonder what this game would be like it it got revamped and redone today. Now that is a game i would love to play forever.
why couldn't the transformers movie be like this
I don't know. For me this is far better than one boy with his girlfriend and parents.
@@eliosejano ??
@@tobsonasanya4765 There is more Transformers characters time on the screen and the robots actually feel and are not some linear NPCs without soul or generic narrative.
Including Sam in the movies and this strong human activity there was a reduction of the sceeen time of all Transformers, especially most of the decepticons who became important and strong as an ordinary drones.
It is no wonder why people feel this disappointment against the Bay movies.
@@eliosejano but this part is more decepticon focused. I don't really see the film doing that unless it was a show. Also what about megatron or starscream here. Aren't they kinda pure evil or something
@@eliosejano Also honestly I kinda don't mind Sam in the movies
These DS games were my childhood!!! Much better than the one for the consoles. Starscream was portrayed PERFECTLY in this
this shit was my childhood! i remember playing it in the back of my parents trucks on vacations, and on the way to school, damn do i miss those times...
What a surprise! The do gooder squad has arrived. Guess Sector7 has made nice with Bumblebee.
18:32 Can't believe this game had this line 💀
Gotta love the personalities 'ere.
Dark ending though, even if expected from the Decepticons.
I miss this game.
Played the hell out of this as a child. In hindsight, it blows my mind how good the story is.
It makes me really happy to see how many views this has, such an underrated piece of TF media
One of my earlier memories was going to Toys R Us with my mom for my first DS Lite and I guess there was a promotion for a free game and the clerk asked if I wanted “the good guys or the bad guys” and I answered “the bad guys” and mom said “he’ll take the good guys thank you” and so I only got to play the Autobots version of the game lol
@@masterlimemonkey They always do this. 😤 I'm so sorry, man.
It really says something when a DS game from 2007 outdoes not only its console counterpart in terms of story, characters and gameplay, but the movie it was based on in the first place. Talk about working beyond the tools you're given.
Eh
31:23
Optimus: Hello, brother
Megatron: Oh yeah, we were supposed to fight (dialogue resumes)
Sound effects weren’t my favorite but this story is amazing on both versions. The voice acting and characters are amazing. One of my favorite actors is Keith David and I love to hear him more as Barricade. Some voices aren’t my favorite, Brawl and Blackout sound very stupid compared to the Console versions because they don’t have a robotic filter.
The sound effects were G1's. At least the lasers
11:31 My reaction!
I love how they gave decepticons more personality than in the movies.. the closest was like how they were in the bumblebee movie
18:00 this is for shadowing 2 things
1 starscream orders rookie to kill Megatron while he's frozen essentially killing him in his sleep
2 megatron does indeed kill rookie later on straight to his face
oh my god at the start b the first thing arricade says "so you think you know what it means to be a decepticon now" and at his death he says "now you know what it means to be a decepticon" ffs I love this game
Subtle storytelling at its best.
Nostalgia
33:19 Brutal!
Plot twist, the rookie survives and manages to repair himself before challenging Megatron to fair combat and becomes the ruler of the Decepticons
I played Autobots it was ok but at the time I got an idea to see what the decepticons were doing
The only question left unanswered at the end, what happened to brawl?
I know this old lol 😂 I always wondered the same thing either starscream killed him because brawl was on bumblebee to get the allspark or prime ran into him and killed him
it's implied that he died in mission city. proven by the rookies lines "but barricade and the others" others implies at least more than one died along with barricade. we know blackout died and obviously the rookie wouldn't count starscream so that just leaves brawl as the only possible candidate.
