The SECOND Best Nintendo DS Game You've Never Played - Transformers Autobots DS

Комедия

Coming off the shelf way too many months later is my ever anticipated sequel to the 48 minute video essay from earlier on this year. I have decided to finally cover Transformers Autobots DS in its entirety. This video still counts as a follow-up/part two to the Decepticons video, so if you want the full experience then I'd suggest watching that one first as there is information I leave out of this video for the sole reason being the viewer would have already heard it in the first.
This is my first video breaking out of a heavy battle with mental health, and I just want to say thank you to everyone who tunes in to watch. It means the world to me that people enjoy what I put out, so thank you, I appreciate it more than you know xox
I'm not sure if I'll cover the many other Transformers DS games besides these main two, as I'll likely move on to other projects. If you have any suggestions make sure to let me know in the comments below :).

    I think one thing the Autobots version of the game has that kind of makes up for its lack of a unique plot (compared to the Decepticons version) is its exploration of one theme: the tragedies and horrors of war. The writers were on to something when Create-A-Bot mentions that he's never actually seen Cybertron, but wishes to. This tells us the war has become so bad that the younger generation of Cybertronians has never even known a life on what's supposed to be their home world, let alone a life not centered around a hellish civil war that endured for millennia. And unlike the Decepticon custom character, the Autobot one is a genuine good guy, so the player can easily sympathize with Create-A-Bot. Also, the bombs on the dam? If it didn't quite hit you the atrocity it is when playing as the Decepticons, it will when you play as the Autobots. Now, the writers certainly could have hammered in this theme more (and for this reason I still prefer the plot of the Decepticons version), but at least what we got was better than nothing.

    Love this take. Never thought of it like that. I do recall that Create-A-Bot’s final words were something along the lines of finally being able to see cybertron during his sacrifice and realising that Earth was the new true home of the auto bots and only by assimilating with the humans could they be liberated from the endless war.

    I do appreciate how they give the Autobots so much more character and depth than the movie or even the console game did. The Decepticons version was better in that regard because of how the Decepticons were treated in the Bay films, but it’s appreciated that they try to expand the story this way by giving us more character moments for each of the bots. Stuff like Ironhide snapping at Optimus over leaving Bumblebee behind or Jazz talking with Optimus over the realization that he has to kill Megatron, and how he takes responsibility for the death of Cybertron. Stuff like that is very appreciated, especially for TF fans who would’ve been disappointed by the actual film.

    something else to add on these, they are canon one with each other, at the Very beginning of each game the 2 createabot meet and have a quick talk, though in the Autobot version you kill the Decepticon 'you', and in the con version the Autobot. And all the story follows the same actions from the others but it shows the real difference your character makes in each game. Starscream lost his protégé so can't prevent Megatron from achieving his goal, therefore leaves for example. There is a lot of stuff like that that shows it's a split timeline, each version describing the story depending on which one lived at the beginning, it's super cool and makes your custom characters impact on the story that much more impactful

    I’ll never forget when I was a kid and going school. I restarted the game and was permanently stuck in protoform mode, I could transform, even though the POV was weird, unfortunately I had to switch my DS off and as soon as I turned my DS back on it went back to normal. However when I went into the “choose a vehicle” section the protoform mode was an option, it was locked though so that was a bummer, to this day I’m still confused how this happened.

    Happened to me as well. The way you do this is by starting the game fresh, then when you get to the bit in the first level where you finish scanning the car, you have to switch off the game from the power button. Then when redoing the mission, complete it fully and you should still be the protoform in free play. Just don’t turn off the game, don’t go to the vehicle form setting, and don’t do the mission where you scan the helicopter.

    This was the very first DS game I remember getting. And it was, and still is one of my favorite DS games. Although, I do agree that the Decepticons version does indeed have a much better and unique story. And I wish I had gotten it when it was still available on store shelves. Now I haven't checked yet, but I'm hoping it's still available online somewhere, for a reasonable price. Oh yeah, another problem I have with the Autobots version (Idk if the Decepticons version had this or not), is that Skydive was only able to be unlocked through very specific ways. Like, if none of your friends had the other game, than you couldn't unlock it. And I didn't know how to use special codes to unlock characters back then. So I was never able to get that Jet mode. Also I'd like to mention the other 2 Transformers DS games, based off of Revenge of the fallen, and Dark of the moon. And my opinion on them. Specifically the Autobot versions, since I never got my hands on any of the Decepticon versions xD I think they were alright. They weren't nearly as good as the first game, but I think they are okay. I think the biggest problem I have with the other 2 games, is the fact that you aren't able to free-roam when not on missions Anyway, this review was pretty good! I enjoyed it!

    There's a move/glitch in the game, especially with the deceptions, where I think if you go full throttle (boost) with both jet(mainly) and car while holding L1 and R1 and simultaneously holdng the the down button at the same time you gain massive air time. Much like what you said with the deception version, this game was huge in my childhood, so I'd replay and figure out glitches and cheat codes in the game.

    This was one of the first games i ever played on ds. I have such nostalgia for it. Really enjoyed driving around and scanning new vehicles colours. Nowadays in games things like that are locked behind microtransactions. I have a distinct memory of absolutely hating that level whwre you play as bumblebee and have to destory the turrets in the city, I failed at it so so many times as a kid. Overall nice video, thanks for the nostalgia blast from the past.

    I only played the Deception DS game's for the first 2 Transfomers films because that's all my brother brought....And I have to say I think the Deceptions got the more interesting stories in their game's....Most of the Autobot game's they mostly repeated the plot that the movie's were based on.....But I still want them all to be re realesed on the Nintendo Switch like what they are doing with some of the Lego game's😏🤞

    Not the viewpoint I expected, But I very well agree with at this age. The Autobots version was the game I got first, months before the Decepticons game, so my feeble infant mind was molded to this game. I remember the struggle with the Escort mission in the Antarctic because it was so long and boring, but It felt good to listen to the duo between you and Ironhide and bumblebee's "dialogue". Then I get the Decepticon version blows me away with Barricade. Like you said, I hold high regards to the Autobots version because I played it over two decades ago. But now it would be pretty terrible to enjoy. Thats why I had vast enjoyment to replay the Decpticon version with my little nephew cause the story seems loosely similar to a marvel comic book. Just wish I knew what the hell a Wifi was when I was a kid so I could play that Allspark wars mode. But thats what Action Replay is for. I showed my nephew the psycho cars cheat: he hated it and it was fucking funny lol.

    My biggest problem with this game is the Autobots don’t act like hero’s you can go on a car crushing spree killing countless civilians in free roam while in the missions you mainly fight against Sector 7 who are just soldiers protecting there country (you work with them in the Arctic missions but afterwards your enemies again) and none of the Autobots show any regret for all the humans they kill which makes the ending completely nonsensical as Prime says Autobots need humans and vice versa but the Autobots have been slaughtering humans for the whole game without ever trying to get in contact with the leader of sector 7 to explain what there intentions are so humanity is still at war with Cybertronians after the ending
