Tbh, I personally want to imagine *_Transformers One_* as a headcanonical prequel to the *_War for Cybertron_* video games.

Something that I love about the Cybertron game's is there parts are always moving there shifting in and out of place, makes it feel more alive in a sense
Also voice acting was peak. Especially Megatron, he was just beast in those games. I still can't get over this line:"Yes...YES! The Autobots most powerful weapon AND the key to the core of Cybertron are MINE! The universe shall hear my name, and TREMBLE!" That's real Megatron right there.
Every talent involved is an industry legend. Everyone, I'm a big fan of My favourite Megatron quote: "Yes Breakdown...I'm well known for my sparkling sense of humor...NOW GET MOVING! BEFORE I DISMANTLE YOU MYSELF!"
They had the best lines as well “I am the dominator I am the destroyer I AM MEGATRONNNNN!!!” “You forget starscream it was in this arena I proved my self worthy to lead ,that day is long gone megatron, THAT DAY WILL LIVE FOREVER” “NO ONE CONTROLS GRIMLOCK!!!”
I feel like High Moon’s designs are the universal uniter of opinions. I don’t think I’ve ever found someone who doesn’t fw them at least a little. For me, I like the big anime robots of the UT and late JG1 the most. But close second is High Moon. Absolutely peak designs.
Agreed best desgins in the franchise I want these desgins in animation and big budget movies the glowy hexagonal paterns and the metal and shoulder blades all merging and transforming was AMAZING
@@mc-maitrixgaming4330 the high moon games, ok Transformers Prime is really criticized recently, people are starting to see its flaws. I still think it's a good Transformers show, but it's not the best. Rescue Bots and Rescue Bots Academy are unknown to most people. And RiD 2015 is really hated, though it's not that bad (Transformers Prime is still better of course) So, it's ok Transformers media. Individually. As a continuity, oh boy, it's a catastrophe. It contradicts itself every time, it goes... Nowhere, and it doesn't even have a proper ending. The aligned continuity is the biggest failure of Hasbro, ever.
Highmoon also made Transformers DOTM game which was just like this too but with the Bayformers did enjoy playing it and soundwave Earth mode was awesome.
Highmoon also made Transformers DOTM game which was just like this too but with the Bayformers did enjoy playing it and soundwave Earth mode was awesome. But these two are the best Armada comes 3rd than Devastation, Darkspark. and Transformers the Movie DOTM, in my opinion i played them all at least once.
Design, Story Mode, and PvP, not just design. The Story Mode was beautiful, and the PvP had great mechanics along with multiple modes, and you could co-op with 2 other people in Story Mode, along with a PvE mode. This game was just underrated when it dropped.
This games Optimus is by far my favorite design of his character, it’s just so unique and for once a take on his pre earth vehicle modes. It’s accomplishes making him look tall and slender but beefy enough to give megatron a run for his money.
I miss High Moon Studios so bad. DAMN YOU, Activision and your Call of Duty printing factory. Even though I still enjoy some Call of Duty games, War and Fall of Cybertron were Gold. 😢😢
Transformers: War for Cybertron, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, and Batman: Arkham City are my favorite games to ever release. Hopefully the Cybertron games come back, and come to the new console generation. 😭 Update: I got tired of waiting so I bought Transformers: War For Cybertron for my Xbox 360. I spent over $90 on Amazon for it… Worth it though. 😁
90?! That's insane, I was able to snag mine for under 20 from a reseller not too long ago. The physical market needs to calm down or it won't exist at all for most people.
@@emilefragz1885 Yeah, $90 was pretty lucky considering other copies were being sold for $200+… It sucks that it’s so hard to find with a decent price. At least you got yours at a much more reasonable price. I’m kinda jealous. 😅
The designs were great my own headcanon for optimus's design changing in rise of the dark spark( i say this since it's a prequel but is a mistake that no one loves) is because the matrix changed and adapted to optimus giving him more armor and protection and Megatron design changed in foc because he got turned into a pancake accept in rise of the dark spark he had his new body my own headcanon for that is the dark spark changed him physically but when he lost it he went back to his old body
Say what you will, but my favourite tramsformers game will always be transformers devastation. Its a crime we'll never see it more fleshed out, so fun.
I loved Arcee easter egg in the game i wonder what happened to her in Cybertron games yes i like this version of Bee unlike the bayverse Bee became nonsense op taking on bigger enemies than him and made no sense
High noon transformers had the best designs until Bumblebee movie released. Those are the absolutely perfect designs (except for bumbleblee that suffers from Bayformers residual)
There’s only one thing they really messed up on, it was with Optimus’ name, they had him called Optimus and not Orionpax before he became a prime, I do forgive this because of the quality of the overall game but it was a Error I noticed Correction: it was mentioned in fall of cybertron that his name was Orion in the audio logs
@@lockinggone7862 he technically is, since Optimus and Orion are the same person, just in different points in their life. I do feel like I’m not understanding what you’re saying though I do apologize if I’m not responding properly to what you mean
@@lockinggone7862 he was hardly said to be Orion in most other media’s, except when talking about his days before the war which has him become a prime literally at the start of the war, I do agree it wasn’t mentioned but he wasn’t a prime before being given the title prime which is why I’m saying it’s a bit of a error because even before the games he had a similar back story in each iteration, with only the name that he had before being the same, the first cybertron game literally was telling us how he got the title of prime, with literally everyone calling him Optimus instead of Orion when he wasn’t a prime, if there’s a big reason for this change then cool but so far this has been the only source(so far) that has Orion called Optimus before receiving both the title prime and the matrix Note: this is not me saying it ruins the game it’s just odd to me how that’s not in the game
While growing up I did read and watch a lot of transformers media these games are what made me fall in love with transformers. They are also what made me fall in love with G1 and G1 inspired designs they are also the games that made me hate the bayverse so much 😂
These games are truly awesome but....there is one part that annoys the hell out of me I can't remember which game it was but bumblebee said "I need to find optimus" and opimus says "I am optimus" he wasn't a prime though that's his prime name they should've said orian idk why it just annoys me so much
@@brandan9883 yea I think it was the beginning in WFC I think maybe they did that in case casual fans didn’t know the origins of Optimus prime and Orion Pax so they just played it safe and called him Optimus 😅
Thats because the game was about the war on cybertron not on earth with robots running around human cities and towns steeping on cars and stop signs. A game about a robot war on an alien planet will always be better than a robot war on earth. My own opinion
I hope to see The Cybertron Games Will Be Return. Thanks To The Merger Of Microsoft and Activision. And Now Microsoft plans to Make This Games Remastered and Remakes and Make a Replacement Of Rise Of The Dark Spark Liked Fate Of Cybertron, and Then They Make Of True Sequel Of Fall Of Cybertron. Liked War For Earth, or Battle For Earth. To Retconned Rise Of The Dark Spark. God I Fucking Hate Rise Of The Dark Spark. But i hope to see The True Sequel Of Fall Of Cybertron, and Replacement Of Fate Of Cybertron. To Have a Allspark. To Make Better Than The Dark Spark.
And The Good Thing with The Cybertron Games we have The Legend Stan Bush. Stan Bush Is The Goat. You Got The Touch. You Got The Poweeeeeeeeeer. Yeah. And i hope In Future Games Stan Bush, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold, Breaking Benjamín, etc to Make Songs Of Soundtrack Of Future Transformers Games.

You nailed it bro
I can still hear Megatron’s voice say “DARK ENERGONNN”
I am the dominator
I am the destroyer
I... AM... MEGATRON!!!!!
NO!
I WILL NOT BE DENIED!
genuinely could just make these games a movie and itll be instantly peak
Agreed!!

THIS is what a FAITHFUL recreation should be.
adding its own flair and touch while still respecting the vision of the original
Especially Megatron's design and also Megatron's voice actor
A modern Cybertron game like space marine 2 would go crazy
The designs were great my own headcanon for optimus's design changing in rise of the dark spark( i say this since it's a prequel but is a mistake that no one loves) is because the matrix changed and adapted to optimus giving him more armor and protection and Megatron design changed in foc because he got turned into a pancake accept in rise of the dark spark he had his new body my own headcanon for that is the dark spark changed him physically but when he lost it he went back to his old body
Honestly, these are my favorite character designs in the whole franchise
Optimus prime slicing that deception into 2 was just him getting revenge for jazz
Absolute cinema. Please remaster these games😭
War for Cybertron had one main issue storywise: Optimus was going by that name before he was a Prime when he should’ve been Orion Pax
The day they start it up again from where they left off is the day I became more happy then a rich man
i REALLY liked megatrons design in wfc, i love the asymmetry definitley better than foc imo
FINALLY someone said it. War's Optimus and Megatron are visually my favorite designs in the entire franchise.
He’s beefy but not fat at all. When you adjust to the style it kinda just looks normal build just with extra padding or something
There’s also the fact that the gameplay was peak
I would take anything based on these over what we just got
This duo loft gave me my all time favorite megatron design. FOC or bust!
"NO!! I WILL NOT BE DENIED!"
"Best design"
Bumblebee : *dummy thicc like big chungus*
Say what you will, but my favourite tramsformers game will always be transformers devastation. Its a crime we'll never see it more fleshed out, so fun.
Wish I still had the chance to get WFC on my first PC build before they took it off for some blasphemous reason 😆
I loved Arcee easter egg in the game i wonder what happened to her in Cybertron games yes i like this version of Bee unlike the bayverse Bee became nonsense op taking on bigger enemies than him and made no sense
They made g1 designs not look bad somehow and the environment of the game is great especially for the context
CAR ROBOTS RAAAAH
To me these games are not just the best video games for transformers. It’s also the best movies as well

War for Cybertron Optimus >>> Fall of Cybertron Optimus design-wise
BUT
Fall of Cybertron Megatron >>> War for Cybertron Megatron
Such a shame you can’t purchase them anymore unless you find physical copies.
Something I never liked tho is they called Optimus prime optimus without the prime instead of just calling him Orion pax
I’ll correct you and say they are one of the best games ever to grace the internet.
They should remake them
Forgetting about nostalgia, which doesn't exist for me anyway, the G1 heads are just crap and in my opinion you can completely forget them.
It'd be cool if they remade it for ps4 I really liked them
Ya but dont sleep on defecation..... Pharo taxes is such a cool sounding name way better than the fallen
I still DESPISE the Bayformer's influences. Like why BEE was made to not talk.
