Unskippable: Transformers: War for Cybertron

[Mariena]

I wonder if any developers will ever realize that there are more voice actors than Steven Jay Blum..

*ugh*

This made me cackle a lot; well done!

 

[The Human Torch]

...Unfortunately, this just opens a new plethora of questions. How did Primus and Unicron come to be in the first place? Someone must have built and programmed them!

Well, they are perceived as the Gods of Light and Darkness, and even though Grimlock and Nightbeat plus a few other Autobots managed to get close to the head of the slumbering Primus (deep in the core of Cybertron) and awoke him by a stray blast from a Decepticon (Primus yelled really loud and it awoke Unicron), no one knows how they came to be.

They are a bit like religion I guess, people who follow the religion say that their God(s) exist but have no direct proof how they came to be. This was just translated to the Transformer Generation 1 comics. Or you can see them as the big bang, whatever peels your banana.

Always a pleasure to watch.This game makes NO SENSE but it was still fun to play

It makes perfect sense if you actually know the backstory of the Transformers.

 

[Draconalis]

When the entire civilization is robots, it brings up interesting questions. How did these robots come to be?

The Quintessons built them

Were there biological life forms that built them?

Cyborgs actually.

And were they all killed off in the resulting wars?

No, the Transformers gained sentience, revolted against their cruel masters and ran them off cyberton

And the entire planet mechanized?

Yes, it was built by the Quintessons as a giant factory

If the highways can build itself, then does that mean that the entire planet is a transformer or just the roads?

Depends on which take on the lore. In the Comics, Cybertron was the god of the transformers himself, known as Primus. Otherwise... It's just a planet that gained transforming roads as of this most recent addition to kanon.

Also, if you're flying in a spaceship to a space station, is that spaceship a transformer?

Not necessarily.

Is there any non-sentient robot on that planet?

Yes, the Guardians are an example of this, which look exactly like Omega Supreme (Whom was a Guardian before he was made sentient)

Am I making things overcomplicated?

Not really... there are answers to all your questions.

Edit:

The Megatron in this canon is already as ruthless as G1 Galvatron, as shown when he blasts the protesting Decepticon. Goodness knows what WFC Galvatron would be like.

Since WFC takes place before G1 and is apart of THAT time line. It's pretty easy to imagine how WFC Galvatron would be... since we have already seen him.

I was wondering if you were going to do this one soon! I'd love to see some of the later cutscenes too, but oh well. Great as always!!

 

[The Admiral]

I'm surprised no one is nerd enough to point out that they were in disguise on their homeworld. This is explained in the first or second episode.

i hate to correct you, but if everyone is made of metal, how can they have plastic sergery? lol
but another goodepisode =)

"How did Spike get on Cybertron?! ...*waits for no one to get the awful joke*"
-snotnarok

im so confused!!!!!

 

[GrinningManiac]

Civil war ravaged Cybertron...

Oh hey everyone, it's Cyrus the Scout from Dawn of War II!!!

 

[Eldarion]

"But sir, thats suicide!" BAM! "Nope, you know whats suicide? Back-talking Megatron."

I had to replay that like 4 times, that was funny.

 

[JacobPlackett]

Great episode. I wonder about all of the questions they had mentioned, and I still love the series and the game.

Great game, by the way. It's like Singularity; takes parts from a load of other games (a hell of a lot from Gears Of War) and somehow makes it better than the games they had taken from.


Now if only the Servers worked. Still need to get the new DLC.

 

[Endocrom]

Cool to read all the backstory in these posts. I have some questions though. When/How did they evolve into Maximals and Predicons? What's the difference?

 

[Neotericity]

My favourite one so far that was hilarious, keep up the great work, either this or the lost planet mini series

 

[RTR]

I want a sweet laser axe

 

[Jing the Bandit]

Why doesn't Primus transform and say "Hey! Cut that shit out."?

I just started watching this show, and it makes me happier tha can be put into words to see that the spirit of MST3K extends to the gaming community. And so true about backtalking Megatron being suicide.

Also, there's an event they hold at BotCon called MSTF, where they riff on old Transformers cartoon episodes. I haven't been to a BotCon as of this post, but they have some of the older scripts online, and I LOVED them! Seeing another MST-style TF parody like this is exhilirating.
