I wonder if Armada will still have an audience by the time it gets into circulation?
Game development's not cheap, though. Kids are also playing more and more games... are they going to want to play a game if it doesn't feature the characters they're currently into? Most will be familiar with the Armada cast, at least.
On a more general note, is this an inbuilt weakness in current TF product schedules? Energon seems to be being rushed through very quickly from wave to wave. Meanwhile, there are still people trying to find wave one toys, and not just shortpacks such as Energon Magnus.

I don't think Energon's being rushed through quite so quick here as there are always plenty of Wave 1 figures and it's the newer waves that are coming out painfully slow. They did stop production of the first wave pretty quick (which is what caused the Magnus problem), but I don't think it's exactly been over in a flash.
Compared to G1 and Beast Wars, the latest series have been rushed in that they've followed the Japanese model of having one season and then moving on, but I think that Armada did a good enough job building recognition that the game will at least be noticeable to children.
The ultimate determining factor is whether or not it's actually good. If it's good, then more people than just kids and fanboys will buy it, if it's not, then it's just another game to toss on the huge-ass heap of licensed failures...along with every other TF game to date.

"Playstation 2 - now even more graphically retarded!"
jokes aside - the models look all nice & stuff This might actually be the game to inspire me to get a memory card for my ps2.... On that topic - did anyone see the fanboy raving about the G1 game on tfans? From everything I'd read, the game is a huge pile of unplayable cack that struggles from the outset & no amount of nostalgia could save... then again, people *did* buy Daikatana...

I've seen a review for it on X-Play, which all they really played was a demo for it, but none the less they said it was the best Transformer game they've played. The levels were said to be vast as well as the combat being fun. Also, if you've played the platformer of the Beast Wars game, you would have notticed that Transforming in to your Beast Mode was more of a chore. In the new game, they've made it also help out in battle as well as for just fun driving around. I personally am not a fan of Armada, yet because of all the great stuff I heard and have seen of the game, I'm willing to buy it.

But, if the future can be changed, if these disks record merely one path of all the myriad ways the cosmos might conform, then the power is infinite and yet, still limited for they can be used but once, and in that change be rendered fiction forever more...

Dunno if anybody heard about it, but Kmart had this Transformers contest, where ya drop yer name on a slip in a box, and they pulled names out on April 10th.. well.. come to find out.. 2 of the 3 stores I put my name in, I won!!

This demo you received.... how did you come across it? Was it through a PS2 magazine? Or perhaps come in the mail? Just curious.

Hi Justin and welcome to the forum. The game you are referring to is a PS2 Generation 1 Transformers game. There have been theatrical video clips of the game, as well as an actual PS2 commercial for the game. From what has been gathered, the game will be produced for Japanese based Playstation 2 systems. Unfortunately, there are no plans as of yet to have the game be brought to North America. If you have been able to acquire a PS2 that plays games for Japanese regions, than you can order the G1 Transformers game from someone online and play it on that system. Unfortunately for the rest of us, we'll just have to wait and see if they'll actually ever bring a game like that overseas.
