'''''Transformers: Devastation''''' is an upcoming BeatEmUp video game based on the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' franchise, slated for release on UsefulNotes/PS4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, UsefulNotes/PS3, UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}} and PC. Developed by Creator/PlatinumGames, the game is based on the ''Generation One'' era of the franchise; while obstensively based on the recent Generations toyline, the game looks and sounds closer to [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers the classic Sunbow cartoon]], and uses CelShading to achieve an aesthetic similar to it. To help round off the nostalgia-fest, many actors from the series will [[RoleReprisal reprise their roles]] - so far Creator/PeterCullen (Optimus Prime), Creator/FrankWelker (Megatron/Soundwave), Dan Gilvezan (Bumblebee), Creator/GreggBerger (Grimlock/Long Haul) and Creator/MichaelBell (Sideswipe/Scrapper/Bombshell) have been confirmed, with the promise of more.

* ShockAndAwe: Motormaster has the ability to shoot SwordBeams of electricity when he swings his weapon.

** The PS4 exclusive Nemesis Prime wields the Dark Star Saber, which hails from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''. However, it goes further than that, as the weapon itself was based on one from ''Anime/TransformersArmada'', where it too was wielded by that series' version of Nemesis Prime.

The plot revolves around the Autobots attempting to stop Megatron from cyberforming Earth with plasma energy. Gameplay-wise, the game is a BeatEmUp similar to Platinum's previous work, ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfKorra'' (and to some extent ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance''), and features fast-paced HackAndSlash action and combat, including the ability to [[CarFu turn into vehicles during combat to damage foes]]. So far, [[TheHero Optimus Prime]], [[KidAppealCharacter Bumblebee]], [[CoolCar Sideswipe]], [[TheSmartGuy Wheeljack]] and [[TheBigGuy Grimlock]] have been confirmed to be playable.

* RoleReprisal: As noted above, as fitting a return to Generation 1, we have Creator/PeterCullen as Optimus Prime, Creator/FrankWelker as Megatron and Soundwave, Dan Gilvezan as Bumblebee, Creator/GreggBerger as Grimlock and Long Haul, and Creator/MichaelBell as Sideswipe, Scrapper, and Bombshell. Wheeljack's set to apepar, but he'll have a different voice actor as Chris Latta has passed on.
* PlayingWithFire: Grimlock can breath fire in dinosaur mode.

* TankGoodness: Megatron eschews his Walther P38 mode and transforms into a tank instead.
