The Weird Transformers DS Games...

[@mistajoester]

Transformers: Decepticons was such a gem. It was cool learning about the decepticon hierarchy and seeing where every cons loyalty lied. Barricade had a really cool story in that game

[@smt3]

True. I have yet to get the game so I can enjoy boths sides (I only have autobots version) and I have yet to get a pc so I can unlock the remaining cheat codes and vehicles bue the ds save replay card.

[@sarcasticmcspastic]

@smt3 it's worth noting the DSi and 3DS can both play backups and dumps Considering most of the studios that made these games shut down, these titles are considered abandonware, and you can find archives of them pretty frequently

A ds transformers game that’s open world…honestly should’ve kept that concept

[@DatPRGuy2017]

Yeah, they had a winning formula and could've just iterated on it like how Spider-Man games mostly use the same formula established from the 2004 Sam Raimi tie-in game or how most Ben 10 games stick with the formula from Protector of Earth

[@DatPRGuy2017]

Also the most disappointing game to me is Transformers Animated cause I enjoyed the show and it had some solid action scenes so hearing about the tie-in game got me curious I imagined it would be like the previous game but with the TF Animated art style and story but left feeling disappointed when actually coming across the game

[@megatron2171]

The best thing about the DS version of WFC is that they brought some characters that wasnt even in the console/pc version

[@carljohnson621]

TF Decepticons was straight up a visual novel, it was all a power struggle for the Allspark and the Decepticons leadership. As a matter of fact, they didn't seem to care too much about the Autobots in that game, they were just.... kinda there I guess? Starscream in that game was absolutely ruthless. If he had to kill a fellow Decepticon, he didn't give it a second thought. Then the ultimate betrayal came when Starscream was dealt with and Megatron killed the rookie. What I didn't like about that game is that, obviously, it was written as a standalone game. But because of the second game, they had to scrap all that storyline and basically make the player forget about everything that happened in the first game.

[@woodenblaze0194]

Revenge of the Fallen on DS was my first transformers on the DS platform and story wise it's nice to see that your character actually don't die this time around, in Autobots he just become a full part of the Autobots team after defeating Megatron alone and earning Optimus respect. But Decepticon was the most satisfying one with your character destroying Optimus alone but also humiliating Megatron in front of the Fallen by doing so, the Fallen make your character the new Decepticon general, claiming that Megatron can't be if a simple soldier did what he didn't suceeded to do... now that is an impressive promotion, and of course we made Starscream laugh of delight with that

[@ebthegt5572]

The Decepticons DS version was on par, at least to me, with Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky for story. You got emotionally invested in the characters, they felt like they had their own uniqueness, and the music for the respective final battles is, and always will be, some of the most epic music out there.

[@KLEJGaming]

Completely valid and real comparison

[@Venom3254]

Transformers Deceptions for the DS is a certified hood classic. Idk how Various Visions (rip) pulled it off, but it puts the movie to shame. As someone who did Allspark mode, I literally 101% it due to playing it weekly. G1 Starscream is broken lol Also, WFC DS versions were actually fun aside from the short main game. The fact that you can still play as the opposite faction even in one version (with some of the main levels) was surprising. The side maps made up for it and it felt great being able to choose your own team of two to beat the game. 9:55 Speaking of running well, frame rates drop when you use Starscream and unlock his explosive blasters.

[@ej1025]

I was never able to get the online mode to work. And by the time I was more serious about completing everything. They shut it down unfortunately. Never got the extra skins etc.

[@arkturus425]

2007 DS Decepticons is my fav imo

[@Wing-Zero-si1eu]

The 2007 DS versions were much better than the home console ones. Cuss the home console has you driving & destroying like crazy. Each open world level has 4 missions you had to complete. Which leads to the finale of both campaigns with either Optimus Prime or Megatron going all out on each other. The DS games really did a good job with the story, while playing as a rookie who scans any type of vehicle.

[@doggamer3649]

Didnt Starscream end up taking the allspark and being a bitch?

[@waddledee-gn5ho]

Good video! I spent countless hours on the first one. Probably my fav. ROTF felt like a downgrade for the reasons you mentioned. From what I remember, War for Cybertron had a lot more content and level variety, also good. Dark of the Moon.... not the same man

[@swinelias]

Same here. I've enjoyed playing the first game a lot (and it was pretty cool that it was actually two different games, where you would play for a different side depending which one you had) and was pretty dissapointed when the sequel not only removed the open world and became more linear, but you couldn't even change your Avatar character's vehicle form after being limited to having to choose just one out of three at the beginning of the game.

[@iisling]

I grew up on the ds war for cybertron game, it was one of (if not the) most favorite game I had ever touched as a kid, I would always bring a flyer because I didn’t know what I was doing and I could use it to camp in the air during boss fights, such a fun game, I remember begging my sister to order the xbox 360 version for me, and after a few months I got it and had one of the best times of my life I also played the dark of the moon games (but didn’t understand them and didn’t like them at all) And I played prime (which I actually really liked, I think it did a better job than the other ones of the same format in my opinion, also I just loved the art style of prime as a kid) Edit of my war for cybertron paragraph: also had to mention how much I loved to grind the side missions to unlock more characters like grimlock, I was so disappointed when I got him as a kid and instead of a cool fire breathing dinosaur, he was just a truck, I didn’t understand when he got that ability until I played FOC

[@frigorifero6750]

So much yes, wfc ds is goated, it was actually the game that introduced me to the franchise so i didn’t know any of the characters, i was just disppointed that Grimlock didn’t turn into a shuttle because i thought that those behind him were “wings” lol, and beacause i’m also a sucker for flyers. Also i don’t think the ds is able to run Grimlock turning into a fully functional t-rex…

Transformers Autobots and decepticons for the DS, with some of the best DS games to date in my opinion, they had so much potential to become more if they were to experiment with the big open maps with the other entries, sadly that's not the case.

[@safebox36]

Hear me out; the first two DS games were both fun and technically impressive for what they were. It's worth noting you can also transform into helicopters and planes, as well as two post-game vehicles for 100%ing everything. And the two versions have a unique map each, desoite the rest of the plots following the same beats. The same applies to the sequel of each version that came out a year or so after.

[@LORDZILLA_2002]

2007 Autobots was the game that I got with my DS for my 7th birthday back in 09, it was the first new piece of gaming tech I ever had up to that point as my family only had an N64 and a few different Gameboy models to share with my siblings, I never finished it as I got stuck on the level where you have to steal a bunch of Sector 7 vehicles while being hunted by an army of enemies. A few years later when I moved on to a DSi-XL I got my hands on War for Cybertron Decepticons and it very quickly became one of my favourites (the only thing I didn't like in either version was the aerial enemies, those were always a pain to fight), sometime later my brother gifted me the Autobot version and if I remember correctly I almost 100%'d both of them, about a year ago my brain decided to get nostalgic for their ost's so I looked them up and to my surprise both games only have a combined 10 or so minutes of music I guess I was too focused on the game-play to notice how short the loops were. This video was a nice trip through memory lane so I thank you for that, I still have all my old DS's and games so maybe one day I'll finally get around to beating 07.

Absolutely ranking the WFC DS games as my goats. Those games were so much fun, and had so many cool little unlockables! I spent hours upon hours replaying the game just to find everything and because the gameplay and story, for the DS even were that good. They definitely saved me on long car trips or field trips! The 07 Games, I also loved a lot, I only ever had the decepticons version. Which... happens to be the one everyone praises so much, again the story for a DS game was just mind shattering. You would never expect that from just a DS tie in game!

[@salamandora66]

The 07 transformers DS games were the best hands down

[@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious]

I've played Prime on both Wii and DS, and i'd say the DS one is preety good. It looks simpler (obviously) and doesn't have collectibles such as emblems, character models and artwork, and the biggest loss is the arena mode (i think that's what it's called). So, it contains only the story mode, with some slightly simplified levels and that's it. But what it does have is both faithful and quite good in terms of quality

[@wintereclipse3263]

I know this is about the ds games but dark of the moon on playstation was actually really fun. It's basically war for cybertron gameplay but using the bayverse characters. Unlike dark spark the story is decent (Not great but decent) and ties in well into the movie and actually gives some nice explanations like why Megatron is using an Earth based vehicle mode instead of Cybertronian like he normally does. The pvp isn't available anymore but man it was fun. Especially playing as Shockwave. Because he wasn't given a transformation in the movie and wasn't given one till his toys they had to get creative with him in pvp. How? They made him into a unit. He's basically the tank class 2.0 he's even slower but more powerful and his melee would absolutely destroy anyone who got close to him. Yet because he was slow and large he was the guy everyone would target so the best way to play with him was to have allies help defend you while you blast them with high power shots and smack them with almost one shot melees. Did feel a bit unfair that Autobots didn't have their own (They had the usual tank character but they were faster and less bulky than Shockwave) but Autobots weren't defenseless and could still easily win especially since Shockwave wasn't hard to counter if you knew how to play against it (And the more people who played him the eaiser it was to just run away and snipe him from across the map). I will say though the campaign while unique did get a bit boring near the end because it starts to become a defense simulator where you kinda just stay in 1 room for like 5 minutes hiding behind 1-2 pieces of cover before moving up and repeating. Also this game has 2 types of Megatrons his tank form and his truck mode. I don't think you could play the truck version of him in pve though it was cutscene and pvp exclusive if I remember right. Edit: On the Megatron part you did get to play as his truck mode in the story
