    What if Transformers had a game similar to PvZ: Garden Warfare? (reddit.com) [Other Factions / Faction-less]

Wait, we're getting new constructicons? why? I thought SS86 was enough? or are these from a different universe?

DaNetwork27

I dont mind the reused mold, but I wish they just made him unmasked.

DaNetwork27

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

DaNetwork27

Aw, hes friend shaped :3

YES

DaNetwork27

Exactly. and in all honesty, I wouldn't mind if he had full hands on the movie, but with todays audience, I think its best hes held back a little.

DaNetwork27

Or a show similar to Animated. Not in style, but in tone.

DaNetwork27

I feel like Michael Bay should stay, but as a co-director. He can direct the action scenes, but the story and characters should DEFINETLY go to someone more competent.

DaNetwork27

It honestly needs a big reboot. (I'm not a business man btw)

For Toys: I know they would never do it, but for starters, Hasbro would need to cancel whatever plans they have for the next wave, and announce a brand new toy line, with a unique and recognizable name instead of reusing existing ones. One that is open for anyone to collect be it kids or adults. Keep Studio Series around. Have a simpler line of toys that are for younger audiences, but dont make them gimmicky or anything, just simple transformations. Prime Changers I think are a good example, but they should actually commit to making toys of every character, or make up new ones.

For Movies: Another Reboot. Leave behind Bayverse, leave Bumblebee and ROTB. Starte fresh with a new director that can carry the franchise for a good while like how Michael Bay did. Or you can keep Michael Bay, but do not repeat the failures of the original movies. Also have something to distinguish these movies from the original bay films, like giving it a reoccurring name similar to what Spider Man does (Like Homecoming, Far From Home, No way Home) I feel like that would help separate it from the old stuff.

And following that, for the love of god, just make a decent movie toy line that isnt a single wave. keep the figures going until the next movie comes. ROTF did it with Hunt for the Decepticons, we need that again. And also have some tie in videogame, even if it's not one-to-one with the film. Speaking of...

For Games: Just release a new game already. Safest bet is either a hero shooter (like the one I made and posted here on the sub reddit :3) or another fighter type game like Devastation.

Lastly for Cartoon/Anime: I would prefer an anime, since it's overall more popular than western animation, unless you can pull off an Invincible where the animation is of good quality, but it overall needs good writing, one with consistency and running for at least 3 seasons, just enough so that it can keep a toy line going.

In the end, the goal is to make Transformers have a single toy aisle for itself again. It doesnt need to make over a billion dollars, but enough content so that everyone can enjoy the franchise.

But a hard reset is very much needed.

DaNetwork27

Same, If they did release this now, I would only play this lol (at least until PvZ makes a Garden Warfare 3, but thats even less likely than Transformers)

DaNetwork27

Thank you! :3

And same, Transformers really need a new game, it's been far too long. Honestly any new game (thats not a mobile game) will do, but it would be fun to get a shooter like this.

DaNetwork27

OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK

DaNetwork27

Yeah, didn't Hasbro say they were gonna "focus on videogames" n stuff? I dont see any games...

That discount in pulse sounds awesome, but in general just making toys Of the characters in game is just good practice. They tried with Reactivate, and those toys are good, but Reactivate never came.

And not to pat myself on the back lol but I designed my versions of characters simple enough to make a toy out of them. Also the fact that this game can have any variant of the character means people can just buy Studio Series and Mainline figures too.

DaNetwork27

God I hope that gets developed. I don't know how the game will turn out, but at this point they might as well publish it even if its bad, cuz I need literally anything.

except for mobile slop, I DO NOT need another one of those...

DaNetwork27

Yeah it sucks that Hasbro cant seem to decide on a game when this seems like the easiest route. I mean, it worked for PvZ?

The Autobot Ops/Decepticon Recon (Name changes depending on which side your on) is essentially that. The art I made on that one is essentially a 86 "Attack on Autobot City", except the Decepticon shipped crashed, so they now have to invade it on foot lol

I imagine other scenarios like one that references TFPrime. "Dark Enegeron Mines" or one based on Bayverse "Chicago Chaos". I will make another post of these with more characters, along with the map names.

DaNetwork27

It really is odd how they never came up with this concept considering how easy it would be to pull it off like PvZ.

Variants would be a thing, although characters with unique names will be separate characters. Ultra Magnus would be his own unit, same for Galvatron, so you could have both Megatron and Galvatron on the same team lol.

Faction Switching variants I feel like would complicate things and be too op. It would be cool to introduce a Shattered Glass mode where all characters are swapped and get unique abilities for said mode, but thats about it.

Combiners I've been struggling for months to make it work in my head lmao. The best way I've thought of was to make it a game mode. Combiner Collision let's say. You play 6v6 PVP and all teams will be there. Constructicons, Aerialbots, Combaticons, Protectobots, etc. So you pick a team, then pick which member you wanna be.

You and your team have a shared meter that progresses being during certain activities, lets say getting kills, interacting with the environment, etc. Once that meter is full, the whole team need to press a single button to combine. Every 10 seconds, who controls e.g. Devastator will rotate until every member has a chance, or Devastator gets destroyed, then you gotta fill the meter again.

Its sounds complicated, but thats pretty much how I feel it should play, cause not only does it enforce teamwork, but it also means we dont get players whining about "I rarely get to play Devastator" or "There arent enough members to combine"

DaNetwork27

I was thinking more diegetic, as I picture there being multiple variants of characters, so there will be a Base Optimus Prime (the one I drew) and also on the team is Animated Optimus Prime or IDW Optimus Prime, and of course skins that would make them all unique.

In my mind, I explain this as space bridges opening up everywhere, so characters from different timelines and universes can all mingle together. I think that's the logic Legacy used for the toy line if I'm not mistaken.

As for vehicles, yes, you can attack in vehicle mode, its essentially the same gun you use in robot mode just pegged on top lol. Although it would have to be either weaker or have less ammo, not sure honestly :3

DaNetwork27

I was thinking more of their being skins and you can pretty much customize skins with abilities, mix and match them.

I had in mind that there would be variants of characters from different continuities with their own abilities but those cannot be swapped. Example: Base Optimus Prime (the one I drew) can have his abilities and skin changed however you like, but lets say later on you unlock Bayverse Optimus, who has his own set of abilities and skins, although not as much as Base Optimus.

Not sure if that makes sense lol

DaNetwork27

do you think he thought either

A. Once he found the matrix he could take on the Quintessons alone and not have to worry about them later?

or B. If the mines did run out, he wouldve begged to be spared by the Quintessons so he could leave Cybertron die?

DaNetwork27

RISE UP!

RISE UP!

RISE UP!

DaNetwork27

oops... the description doesnt show. I'll just comment it here if thats okay.

I really want to play a new Transformers game, and since Reactivate is pretty much gone, what if... (if hasbro had the balls) we had a game the functions similar to Garden Warfare?

So here's my take on it, along with some characters in my style :3 Transformers: Cyberwarfare

The images explain themselves, but I've been having this thought in my mind and wanted to just share the idea. I have no idea how to design a shooter lol but I can imagine how cool the abilities would look. I plan to make more characters and give them abilities, but for now I'll leave this :3 Let me know what you think!

Also if you have questions, I can answer them too, as there are so many ideas in my mind...
