This is a game with genuine passion for the Transformers franchise. Offers what I believe to be the best interpretation of the Transformers on Cybertron before they head to Earth, with their designs looking the most alien, yet still retaining their classic G1 look. This, and its sequel Fall of Cybertron deserve to be preserved, and made easily accessible.
I remember renting this game from Family Video thinking it'd be crap, and I ended up adoring it. It hasn't aged the best, but the world and voice acting are still top notch. And those animations still impress me with the robotic breathing.
Games like these is the reason why this GOG initiative exist. Its an almost(?) lost media. It's a great game with amazing story and full of so much love for the G1 Transformers!
This was one of the first games I purchased for the Xbox 360 at age 13, and I played it like crazy. I miss my 360, now, and I want to enjoy a good old game from childhood and have others play it too.

I love transformers since I was a kid in the 1980s and it felt like paying those games from back then. This game should be preserved and not lost to oblivion, as a once wise unicron said.
I remember watching my dad playing this game and having an absolute blast. He told me this was one of the best Transformers to ever come out and when I finally got around to playing it I gotta say I agree. The story is a blast and the gameplay is very addictive. I would love for more people to finally be able to play this game
This game, along with Fall Of Cybertron, have been the best Transformers gaming experience ever released to this day. With the cancellation of Transformers: Reactivate, it's time to dust off a piece of history and let it shine again.

It's been ages since I played it, so I can't quite remember how epic it was. I did get to play 'Fall of Cybertron' quite recently though, and that was surprisingly good. These developers really had a passion for making great, spectacular games. Even when they weren't at their best (such as Deadpool, the Bourne game, and maybe this first Transformers title) they still made much better licensed games than most developers / publishers of the time. As far as Fall Of Cybertron goes: There are some brilliant set-pieces, decent action, and still quite impressive graphics despite its age. I'm not sure I'd say this one is a classic, but I sure would like to be able to play it without having to resort to robbing a bank so I can pay the £1000 or so it goes for these days... If nothing else, from what I can remember it was a good first effort, that was then refined to a huge degree in the sequel.
Those games also need your vote!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

The game changes large parts of the storyline in Episode 1 while following the elements established in the original game. This includes adding new characters and changing how some scenarios play out. Changes in Episode 2 were much larger as the main character perspective of the game was switched from Jr. to Shion to match up with Episode 1 and 3. Some characters are removed from the story or have their fates changed or revealed. Some dungeons are removed, edited, or replaced. It also answers some questions that the original did not as you follow a different path through the same overall story. It also changes the combat mechanics of Episode 2 to match Episode 1.
