Activision “lost” them until the right sized bribe shows up in Bobby’s bank account.

MODERATORS
Not nearly on the same level, but reminds me of the Apollo 11 missing tapes. Historical data that’s just lost out of negligence. Chances are pirates have saved these games somewhere deep in the cockles of the intranets. Pirates are really just digital archivists, preserving information for future generations.
I don't think the games themselves missing is the problem, it's probably the source code they want
Pirates would preserve that too, if they had the opportunity.
At least as far as PC goes, doesn't Steam have some of them? Can't they reach out to Valve?
They probably want the games' source so they can make remasters.
Were there any good, worthwhile transformers games released, for any console, ever? I can't think of a single one
War for Cybertron
Fall of Cybertron
Some of the best Transformers media that exists. They are an absolute blast to play through with a fantastic story.
My son played those and they looked amazing.
I had one for the PS2, if memory serves, that sucked balls so hard it is a clear contender for Worst Game I’ve ever played (and I’ve been playing for over 40 years, now…)
The PS2 Transformers Armada game is fantastic. Driving around in the (for the time) open world is a joy. The gunfights are interesting and tactical. The boss flights are over the top cinematic. And the minicons add brokenly fun abilities.
War for Cybertron I and II are worthy follow-ups with better acting and story, and even more fantastic boss fights. Vehicle modes remain fun. The core shooter is solid. Only points docked in my book is the lack of minicons, and dull color pallette.
And of course, the very first game is downright almost playable if you happen to be very young and lack access to hobbies or literally any other game.
Unfortunately, that's a common thing in the gaming industry. Another example are the PS1 Final Fantasy games, they are stuck with those low res backgrounds and FMVs because Square Enix lost the original assets.
A remake of the first game would be so amazing.
I agree. I've always thought that giant hippo, in particular, didn't get enough time in the original game.
Oh. I thought they were referring to the PC games here? Transformers 1: The Game?
