WikiProject Transformers To-do:
Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Multiplayer

Apparently this has online co-op with escalation and a vs multiplayer mode but the campaign is single player - though I don't have the sources to hand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.160.19 (talk) 15:01, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no multiplayer.--WikiEditor44 (talk) 15:45, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there is. I've played it. The demo was only-multiplayer as well. --Luka1184 (talk) 14:21, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hound

For some reason, in the FOC G1 Optimus trailer[1], I saw a green robot who looks like Hound. According to HMS on twitter, they sneaked him in[2]. Also, there was an image of his chest in the character creator[3]. 86.168.186.4 (talk) 16:52, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DLC Release dates

[4] Sludge is not part of the DLC Dinobot pack. 175.136.63.44 (talk) 08:35, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Voice Actors

Should a list of the game's voice cast be added? Or is it not necessary? MunkkyNotTrukk (talk) 17:55, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, we don't add them per WP:GAMECRUFT, but we did note the "big actors" in the prose of the Audio section. --Teancum (talk) 19:09, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    This is quite good, but there are a few minor points to resolve below.


  • Comments
    • Is there anything to link to for "origins subplot" in the lead?
      • I had trouble with this, too. The best I could do is link to the Dinobots article, as apparently their origin is different in each continuity, but "Gen 1" is the official origin.
    • "Optimus engages Megatron directly, and Bumblebee later heads to join him after being temporarily rerouted." That sentence is a bit confusing.
      • Reworded
    • Energon, capitalized or not? I see both.
      • Lower case, fixed
    • What is Iacon?
      • Clarified
    • Is there a way to explain what a "power core" is without getting too tangential? It's a bit of a specialized term for a lay reader.
      • Clarified
    • "During an investor conference in November 2010 Hasbro confirmed that a sequel to the 2010 game Transformers: War for Cybertron would be developed with a release set for fall in 2012.[7][10]" I don't see "fall 2012" in either of those sources. Also, it's preferred to avoid using seasons, since southern hemisphere readers will be reversed. Finally, "in" should not be between the time of year and the year's number.
      • Removed season and year entirely as it the sentence's focus is on confirming the development.
    • "He further praised the game's predecessor and stated that it was "shockingly good"." Necessary to mention this in reference to previous game?
      • Removed
    • I noticed that generally Optimus Prime is referred to as Optimus for short, but caught one instance of calling him Prime. Double check for consistency.
      • Found no other instances in a search where Prime was used as a shortener
    • The ordering of the DLC packs is a little confusing. Do you have a date for the Multiplayer Havoc Pack? Why is it mentioned after the other two packs, when it was supposedly the first one released? Also, none of the last part of the last paragraph in the release section is sourced.
        • Fixed
Otherwise, this is a very good article, and I'll be ready to promote it after addressing the above. —Torchiest talkedits 19:26, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Covered most of these. I'll tackle the DLC issue later on today/tomorrow/Monday. Thanks for the review. --Teancum (talk) 19:20, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Took care of the DLC issue. I think that covers it. --Teancum (talk) 16:22, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good. Happy to pass this now. Congrats. —Torchiest talkedits 16:41, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Infiltrator

The Infiltrator in Transformers Fall Of Cybertron Multiplayer has speed and stealth at its fingertips allowing it to snoop around multiplayer battlegrounds and sneak attack enemies making it a deadly opponent.Despite having speed and the element of surprise its defence is low so in match types such as Team Deathmatch enemies try to target the Infiltrator for an easy kill point.I hope this helped you.
