Yeah, that is a good way of thinking about it. Playing a giant brute that slams his way through things is massively different than the rest of the game. For instance, all characters have shields (100pts) and then your life (another 100). The shields will regenerate after a second or two of no damage. When you play as Grimlock, your life goes up to 500, and I believe the shields do the same. You can take a ton of punishment, and deal it out in spades. Then, as said, there are the instakill moves that are the robotic version of God of War level of brutal.

Nahh, I have seen a masterpiece Grimlock from fall of Cybertron, which looks chill because he's all shiny. But I love my grimmy, he's awesome heart

Just started another playthrough of Mass Effect 2 . . . and discovered the game recognizes me as having beat it before- so I got a massive boost in money and power. Nice to have little surprises. ^_^

Something I've always wondered about the dinobots is, What could they transform into before they could transform into dinos?  

[transformersgirl13]

Swoop was a jet, and grimlock was some kind of tank. They don't really say what the others were, though.  

[Alexander Magnus]

Before they were dinos, they did not exist according to the G1 cartoon. Of course, IDW comics and others have allowed a bit of retconning to occur, so the group has a history now. They were a brutish team that Grimlock dubbed the "Lightning Strike Coalition Force"

Another option I am aware of was Cybertronian vehicular modes that were under the title of Dynobots.

For wfc and foc, that's what they said they were, at least, that's what tfwiki says, just depends on the universe

*hoping this convo doesn't kill the refuge chat again* sweatdrop

Hasbro has worked with High Moon to say that the two games are to be treated as cannon . . . they are officially prequels for the G1 era. Rumors are circulating that there will be a third game off Cyberton, but that is not proven yet.

Yoder

New Game+ is always appreciated. 3nodding
The craziest case I've seen was the Mega Man Battle Network series on the GBA; some games had up to 5 levels of New Game+.

I don't know if I would be up to playing a game through five times . . . even a short one.  

[Alexander Magnus]

the only way I would do all that is to play through, perhaps twice . . . then come back to it some months later refreshed. sweatdrop
