The project was inspired by the animated series Transformers, aired on American TV in the years 1984-1987. To recreate the atmosphere of the original feature, developers at Platinum Games used the cellular shading technique in a way that emulates the distinctive look that '80s cartoons used to have. The characters are voiced by the same actors who did the voice work in the original television series, including Peter Culles as Optmius Prime, Dan Gilvezan as Bubblebee, and Frank Welker as Megatron and Soundwave.
In the course of the campaign, we join the noble Autobots and have to face the deceitful Decepticons. The latter's leader, Megatron, discovers some plasma energy technology that could transform the entire Earth into a cybernetic structure. Our task is to thwart his plans.
There are five Autobots to choose from: Optimus Prime, Bubblebee, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, and Grimlock. Each of them has unique offensive abilities. All protagonists can instantly transform between vehicle and humanoid forms. Platinum Games is known for great combat systems and Transformers: Devastation is no exception.
