I'm just popping in to remind Transformers fans everywhere that this exists:


Thank you for your time.

Edit: I should probably add context to this.

That's "The Beast", a combination of the Dinobots that only ever appeared in pack-in comics for a DVD set. Essentially, when the DVDs for Micron Legend (the Japanese version of Armada) were released in Japan, there was a well received pack-in comics with each volume called Linkage. It filled in holes in the series, and was very nicely designed, written, and plotted. It had about 13 volumes to fulfill its story, had a full ending, expanded the lore, and is actually in many ways seen as superior to the series it was packed with.

Metrodome, the UK distributor of Generation 1 DVDs at the time, were inspired to create their own pack-in comic, "The Beast Within". Essentially, in the middle of a random battle between Autobots and Decepticons, Grimlock decides to forcibly combine with the other Dinobots (which is suggested to have occurred before), with horrific consequences. As in, murdering pretty much 90% of both sides present. The comic just comes out of nowhere with no context, kills off all the Decepticon combiners (remember, this is packed in with Generation 1 episodes), and turns on the Autobots. A later release then has the second part, where The Beast kills some Autobots, then Optimus knocks him off a cliff and that apparently kills the combiner.

Please forget that this is literally impossible in any reviewing of the plot of the series it was included with, that it was poorly drawn, lettered in Comic Sans, needlessly dark, and does nothing more than snuff out a bunch of robots for no reason. In fact, you can forget all of that, because the entire thing has been wiped from canon and should never be mentioned again in polite company.

Like Kiss Players.

No one would mention kiss players if people wouldn't keep bringing up how we need to never bring up kiss players!

So I opened up my main PC today discover I no longer, in fact, have Transformers Devastation or Xenoverse, and my saves for both games are gone, including all of the SS ranks and Z ranks that I earned in them. Given those were the first two games I ever meticulously got max ranks in, I am a little blown out by it.

Did you do any fiddling with Steam cloud stuff? That seems like a thing that might happen. God knows it's happened to me with other stuff before (and is why games I'm really fond for I find the save game file for and back it up periodically).

What is this "Kiss Players" of which you speak? It sounds like a horribly disturbing, basically pedophillic bit of insanity that absolutely did not exist in any way shape or form.

That's pretty much it. Also for the love of all that is good and holy, do NOT do a Google Image search of it.

Even if there was, "The Beast" is a lovely name for it when they could call it "Extinction" instead.

Given the Devastator fight in chaper 1 I have toi ask, does this game follow the Platinum Escalation Curve of "start out ludicrous, go up from there"?
