Activision got the Transformers license and is developing a movie tie-in game. Too bad about Atari though, the PS2 TF game they put out a couple of years ago was good.

That game sucked. This new one will suck to, people just don't know how to make a good Transformers game.

I really enjoyed Transformers Armada. All the mini-con bolt-ons made it a fun, tactically oriented game.
Shame the original developer didn't get to make a sequel.

Man, f*censored* that sh*censored*. Transformers was a good game, even when being the best TF game out there wan't exactly a hard thing to do. The graphics were good(climb a mountain in the Amazon stages and see what I mean), the levels were huge(Tidal Wave, anyone?), and unlike a lot of better games, the enemies were actually smart. If you sniped at one and failed to kill it, he not only came after you, but so did his buddies. In combat, they dodged your shots, used cover, ganged up on you, and even led you off if you strafed to avoid their fire.
And who could forget the joy of being Optimus Prime, transforming into a truck, plowing right through a huge crowd of enemies, transforming back, turning around in mid-air, and using your guns to rock the survivors so hard, "The Touch" starts playing in your head.

I remember seeing the incredibly kickass CG trailer for this game. I'm sad to hear that it sucked.

To be fair, it must be a really hard job to pull off. How many games have good shooting and good driving? Not many. Now imagine not only having to do both, but have the ability to switch between the two modes while keeping things fluid and having proper physics.
And that's just cars. How are you going to balance planes and guns and tanks? And just how in the world would playing as soundwave work?
This is probably the reaon why there's not a good robotech game out either.
Liscenced games don't always suck, so I'll try to be optimistic.

Battlecry was received fairly well by the critics. Though the game didn't sell that well.
