If you were a kid growing up in the 1980s, there's a pretty good chance that you owned at least one Transformer. While Hasbro's shape-shifting robots weren't the first of their kind, they quickly became more popular than Tonka's Gobots. Although the property's popularity waned thanks to overexposure-and the fact that their core audience hit puberty-the Transformers never went away. Now, Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay are ready to bring the Transformers to a new generation of fans, as well as those looking for a nostalgic blast of childhood memories. However, as is the case with their original fans, the Transformers have grown up quite a bit.
With the recent successes of Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, even Hasbro wants to see the classic Transformers games come to Game Pass.
C'mon MS find those games on whatever hard drive they're hidden on.
There's a few transformers games from Activision I missed out or didn't finish. Would love to come back to them at some point if they appear on GP.
“Activision’s not sure what hard drives they’re on in their building. When a company eats a company that eats a company things get lost, and that’s very frustrating.”
By Unicron’s beard, find them! 😳
Does Activision still have the rights? I thought they lost them, and that was why the Cybertron games left stores.
I didn't really look into it at the time.
I thought so too, but these quotes come directly from the Hasbro panel. It seems Hasbro is willing and able to work with them again. At least in a retro capacity.
"Does Activision still have the rights?"
They do not.
"I thought they lost them, and that was why the Cybertron games left stores."
This is correct. I dunno if MS can/ would go back to Hasbro and try and negotiate a new deal.
But even if they could I doubt they would, same with Spider-Man.
Game Rant Writes "Transformers has not had much success in the video game market, but the movie tie-in Transformers: The Game may be a diamond in the rough."
The Transformers have not had a great track record in games. Here is a terrible history of Transformers video games
Ahhh memories.........
