His toys eventually had to become tanks IRL due to laws that were passed preventing realistic-looking toy guns (like his original alt mode) to be sold. They likely made his alt mode in the game a tank to match up with that since that’s what newer fans would be more familiar with when it came to G1 style Megs.
No matter how many times I see this, Platinum for all their short-comings when it comes to some of their games’ writing at times, I always find that the last lines in this final fight exemplify the best of what Transformers is and the dichotomy between Autobots and Decepticon. Especially about the Transformers part when looking at Megatron defining what life is for him. For real, though it’s not something new they’ve done it certainly paints an uncomfortable picture when you replace those gyros and parts portion of the speech with blood and flesh talk from a human. Hell, I find it more chilling because it’s not in our face due to it being an effective allegory.
Most humans are like Decepticons. How Megatron feels is pretty much exactly how humans feel about robots and future AI. Inferior things we throw away into trash when we are done with it, piling heaps of trash on our planet. And one day if we survive that long we will probably go to the stars in favor of searching new habitable planets. I doubt we'd care about life on them, since we exterminated so many species on our planet anyway.
*This was a Final Boss Battle that truly felt incredible.* The animation, music, voice acting, everything was so well done in this game, even the aftermath of this final battle with Optimus Prime's dialogue to the Autobots. 👌 It really sucks that they haven't made a sequel, but I still hope that one day, we will get one.
“One last failsafe... the only way to shut down the ferrotaxis... (Small laugh)... you must destroy it... you hold the fate of Cybertron in your hands Prime!” “... You are correct Megatron, and I have the courage to make the right decision...” *”NOOOOOOOOOO!!!”* Man, I imagine the battle while playing “You got the touch!”

Most of the Transformers games Ive played are 3rd person Shooters, but this Game is just, fck you do Bayo-dmc combos on your enemies, like what the hell we need more lol
Their GIGANTIC medal made robots, no way in real life they would move that effin' fast, and NO, them being hi-tech aliens don't count. Now excuse while I kiss the sky. 🚬⛅😁
Love this formal argument - Optimus makes a concession about cybertron, and shift the argument to destruction to keep Cybertron on life support; and the Megatron's ambition will be the end of him; alongside having the courage to make the right decision - a bold statement; amazing content!!! Optimus is agreeing with Megatron and disagreeing with him... Formal Argument at its best I think...best transformer game in a while true the the 1980's, but lacking the darkness of the newer movies...
In this game, Megatron tried to use Cybertron as a shield for his actions. As Optimus pointed out, if he really care about his home planet, he won't Cyberform Earth. Nevertheless, he tries to play the sadist by using Cybertron's history as a leverage. So even if he's lose, so do the Autobots. That's damn evil.
Imagine An Epic Final Battle Where Optimus Prime Teamed Up With Primus Against Megatron And Unicron It Would Become The Battle Between " Good Brothers(Optimus Prime And Primus) vs Evil Brothers(Megatron And Unicron) "
I'll also add Anarchy Reigns and Star Fox Zero, but those aren't exactly Platinum's best... Either way, every time stopping gimmick has its own little quirk. In Transformers Devastation in particular, you have less Focus Time, with different lengths depending on the Autobot (think Witch Time from Bayonetta, Bumblebee has the longest Focus time but is the most fragile, while Optimus and Grimlock have the least Focus time but are more resistant) but have more opportunities to activate it. Also, Transformers Devastation feels like it expands from Bayonetta's core mechanics while also incorporating elements from Vanquish and Metal Gear Rising. It's really amazing and it makes me sad how most people just gloss over these, solely on the fact that it's a licensed game and one with less production values compared to Platinum's other games. For me, this is probably my favorite Platinum game for the gameplay and boss fights alone. :)
Idk why but Megatron only seeing his species as "life" is pretty interesting. His view of humanity is the same view we would have to aliens if we ever met them
So annoyed I missed out on this game, it looks like good fun and great nostalgia:) PC s Wasn't up to spec when it came out now it's not available, but always live in hope Thanks for the vids though :)
such a shame license dispute make all parties wanted to forget this game. Had this exist way beyond the Switch era, the game can have sequel and Switch port.
I feel like if we had gotten a sequel with Nova Prime it would've involved Optimus and Megatron having to team up and we would get to play as both Autobots and Decepticons, maybe even a few parts where we get to play as a combiner. Oh what may have been and sadly never shall be.
Watching this video made me double check if this was actually Transformers, you moving around and styling like it's a Devil May Cry game XD. Your gameplay is sick man. Makes me want to play this again. Edit: I deadass JUST realized your PFP is Nero XD. I love my selective vision
Imagine if Earth was uninhabitable, and you had the power to restore it to life with yourself in charge but at a cost of another planet filled with rich cultural and species much like yours. Would you do it? Destroy their planet so that yours can live again. Yeah your species are awful, but you've seen what the previous world leaders had done to ruin, you can make it right. That's Megatron. He wants his home back and he wants to make things right regardless of what it takes even if he has to kill some of his own people for it. He's doing what it takes to make sure the Transformer species survive on their planet Cybertron rather than live as stranded bots on Earth (which isn't even great, imagine being forced to stay at your cousin's house who you hate and it sucks). TFP and the previous WOC and FOC kinda she'd light that Megatron could have been a great leader, even greater than Optimus had it not been for his arrogance. He was a low caste miner who fought in gladiator arena, he is reasonably pissed as hell and wanted to overthrow the politicians and corrupted leaders (much like ours). I mean, aren't you pissed off at the elites and want their blood? So does Megatron. Believe it or not, but to the Decepticons and other former low caste Transformers, Megatron is a hero as Optimus is to the Autobots.
Since most decepticons can fly since they have an aerial vehicle mode without transforming. But the ones who has tank modes or any other modes can still fly in robot mode. Which makes less sense. And the autobots mostly have car modes like trucks and sports cars and can't fly.
I need to ask. Did you like War for and Fall of Cybertron? And if so, you think it could be possible to combine traits of both those games and Devastation for another good Transformers title? I'd love to see Prime accomplis those universal feays from comics.
@@MariusUrucu It's cool. I loved the sinhle player and multiplayer. But the classes in mulyiplayer were unbalanced. Jets were worthless and tanks were too slow and didn't have real good accuracy.
It's made to replicate the art style from the Transformers movie from 1986. It even has the music composed by Vince Dicola, who has composed the music for the movie too. Search on TH-cam, "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost" and be amazed by the 80's feel.
Here's a fun fact. The song "You got the touch" used in the Transformers 1986 movie is also used during the intro of Shadow Warrior 2013, while Lo Wang (the protagonist) is driving his car. He even has a (what I could assume) Grimlock figurine on his dashboard. It's pretty awesome and funny at the same time.

Megatron is definitely one of the greatest non human villains to exist.

I like how they introduced nuance to G1 megatron and it still felt like G1 Megs.

One question: Name a game that P* has made that doesn't have a time-stopping gimmick. I don't think I can
