OGT - Transformers: Battle to Save the Earth - C64

Possibly the only full playthrough of this game for reasons that will become apparent. Also, tempting the Audio Muting gods again. At about 15:30, I will be adding in an annotation with something I meant to mention but forgot, so if you don't see it at first, it'll be there eventually.

Can you shoot the decepticons when they are in the "dot form"?

[Frankomatic]

@StrayYamato No, can't hit unless they're at full jet or robot size.

Fun Fact: Before the speedup, there was 32 minutes in game footage. Other fun fact: Before cutting out the load times between scenes, the intro was at least twice as long, possibly three times.

"Coop"? Kup. As in picKUP truck. /nerdy nitpick

Awesome play through, though. First time I've ever seen this game. Bonus mega points for 'The Touch'. They did a pretty good job with the transformations, given the limitations of the times.

@keithhemari In all honesty I don't really remember much of my Transformers G1 level lore outside of the Rodimus + Hot Rod impossibility.

Stupid Content Match had to go and spoil the surprise.

Wow, it was nice to see this again. I wasted hours of my youth trying to figure this game out...maybe this game is why giant sea creatures frighten me now.

But Prime! When do we get to bust some decepti-chops!

I watched the video 10 times so i can listen to the song 10 times. If you can't get moved by that in ANY game, then you dont "got the touch" :)

[Shotgunryugan]

Damn Frank,You've got the touch! even though the game gave you 3rd class >:(

[Zaodai]

So... giant hippo is an integral part of their plan. Not the Decepticons proudest moment.

I had stopped paying attention to the video for just a few seconds and then the 80's music started playing and I got confused, thinking my computer had just gotten an annoying pop-up advertisement. Man, I feel stupid. :I

@Assasin2 To be fair, what would you do if you saw a man reaching for a gun that your leader couldn't see? No matter how you cut it Optimus was a dead man.

[Assasin2]

Bah Rodimus, that bastard got Prime killed! I'd sooner trust Megatron then that bastard.

After "The Touch", another instrumental song was playing before being interrupted by the ending scene. What was the name of that song?
