Talk:Decepticlone

Additional Pic

Man, this group shot should really be used somewhere.

Also, artillery and turret unit pics - but no pages yet. And now another group shot.

Also also, Jhiaxus sent me an Australian minicomic which was a prequel to the game itself. Seems to have been distributed by game/toy shops and the like - written by Furman, art by Sullivan, inks by Baskerville and colors by Wildman. It makes use of the spider tanks and some really undersized Heavy Units... I'll scan it up when I can. --Monzo 12:24, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Here's the picture of a Decepticlone (shoot, I've been spelling Decepticon wrong all tonight, Haven't I?) from the Attacktix line. Finally the chance everyone has been waiitng for to own a Decepticlone in toy form. Or Not.

Someone may want to upload that picture in some form or other.

• That picture may not be entirely appropriate, because of the huge exaggerated arm. Can we get some screencaps from the game? --Suki Brits 04:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• I'll see what Google turns up, but it shouldn't be a problem. Incidentally, anyone know why the pic that IS there isn't thumbnailed right? I got all the words right.

Do you have any confirmation regarding the actual origin of the Decepticlones, or is it just baseless assumption? Since there didn't seem to be any problem with ripping the boss Decepticons apart.

I'm pretty sure that they just needed generic enemies, since dozens-upon-dozens of Megatron's coming at you in every level would be pretty stupid.

That's pretty much what I meant, I think it was a combination of needing a common killable mea-no wait, Metal Bag. I read it in various previews in magazines at the time approaching the games release. I admit I was slightly confused when I played the game and found the Bosses apparently dying too, when I had read that they hadn't been allowed to kill the named Transformers in that article. I assumed it meant Freely kill. Mind you, it does kinda ruin the flow the series, since Cyclonus and Tidelwave were both in the next series. <shurgs> Cool game though, but way too short.

Do "Image:Decepticlone bike.jpg|these guys" actually appear in the game? The only pic I have of them is some early preview stuff. -Derik 08:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Nope! No bikey in the game. Not even listed in the development art. - User: M Sipher

Ah cool. (It's in the assembly of clones you have as the main image though, you'll notice.) Leave the image in place, when/if the game page takes proper shape I'll add a note for it as a canceled unit ont he bottom, alongside the gray light clones and green snipers. (I think proto colors are merely a prudent thing to keep track of in a fandom that recolors this often.) -Derik 08:56, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Going through the various stuff I could find in terms of promos etc (I dont' actually own the game, surprise!) I ran across these two odd ducks: http://makeashorterlink.com/?T18025CDC The top appears to be a black Gurilla. I suppsoe it coudl be lighting. The bottom is different unit based on the Medium Unit, this one is red, has a shield arm, and hops around like a goddamn ninja when you hit it. Were either of THESE int he final game? -Derik 13:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Blacky`s just lighting. A similar medium unit is in the game. However, it`s the same color as all the rest, and so far there is no intel on any martial arts trained decepticlones.--Autobotx1010 23:25, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I have temporarily linked the Turrent and Artillery links to their images, since Siph is probably going to make entries for these two bitch-to-snap-pics-of units later.

Speaking of- GOD DAMN that Artillery unit pic sucked two make. It's four different 'chunks' pasted together to make one decent picture. In terms of categorization, Prima's Strategy guide describes an Artillery Unit as a piece of equipment used by Decepticlones, and it describes Sentry Drones as Decepticlones. Mildly interesting. -Derik 13:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

A categroy for Decepticlones seems a little redundant when you have this entry that has a list with links to all of them. Also, this entry should be Decepticlones, plural. (Just my opinion.) -Derik 14:42, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Conflict

Let me guess, Megatron attempted to start his own Clone War?

Cut Content

So, does anyone else have the cut dialogue that says the Junkions were the source for the Decepticlones? The user who made that edit didn't put any sources and their user and talk pages have been deleted. TransFormersfan1 (talk) 17:01, 30 March 2021 (EDT)

I've rectified this and informed TransFormersfan1, as well as cited said information. But I believe responding to this for future reference is important since technically I did write the cited information as well. The information in Notes + the cited webpage can be found on any retail game disk, including the US, Europe + Director's Cut, and South Korean versions. The source page states the information is found "in the CINEMA folder of most levels" - specifically, the file directory for the levels is TFA\Retail US\tfa\LEVELS\EPISODES. All eight folders have their own CINEMA folder, so simply opening those up will reveal the transmissions files which can be opened up in a text editor of your choosing. I'm under the assumption that these transmission files went unused a long time ago during development and someone chose to replace them with transcripts of these transmissions.

Also, side note, I created the Artillery Unit page without knowledge of an image being present in the Talk page. Whoops! I think the one I uploaded is a bit better as it's a semi-official render which is of pretty good quality. Lastly, the unused "bikes" would allow two Medium Units to drive around in them. The player could also drive one around. In an early build of the game, the driver Medium Unit would drive other Medium Units to your location if you get too far away from them - basically like a transport. Their AI is very basic.-- Telephone (talk) 22:29, 18 May 2021 (EDT)
