Yes. Which is a gigantic missed opportunity.
<.< I got interested in Transformers because the idea of a Secret War of aliens disguised as everyday objects seemed like fantastic fuel for a Paranoia Fuel stealth-based conflict. But no, it's just an action series about giant robots who shoot each other. They're not "in disguise" at all.

My Tumblr. Currently liveblogging Haruhi Suzumiya and revisiting Danganronpa V3.It's been a long running joke in some circles of the fandom that the tagline "Robots in Disguise" is nothing short of a complete lie since both sides more often then not recognize each other on sight, and often have giant obvious logos pointing out what they really are.
And then there's the fact that they tend to be oddly rare / remarkable or unique cars or have stand-out paint job (When's the last time you saw a black and purple F-14 ?)
It's one of the few credits I can give the Bayformer films - in particular the first, that they do try to play out this "disguise" angle somewhat with the Decepticons at least.

Although, hilariously, the one that's a police car (Blackout? I'm bad with their names) has "To punish and enslave" where the standard "To protect and serve" goes.
That's both a gratuitous compromise of its disguise and needlessly over-the-top Card Carrying Villainy, to the point that it kinda Crosses the Line Twice and becomes funny.

And there's a lengthy comments section in the video about Anita Sarkeesian because of course there fucking is.
You're reading youtube comments. You did this to yourself.
Looks like Rob is really obsessed with "winning against Jim", if Jim is "beating a dead horse" by this point, then Rob is zombifying it... That phonecall mentioned really reeks of deulsions, either that or he is becoming a yandere or some shit

Will Digital Homicide shenanigans ever get old?
Microtransactions in Rise of the Tomb Raider makes me a sad dragon.
The fact that they're going to be for the multiplayer content makes me less outraged but I still think they're bullshit.
My Tumblr. Currently liveblogging Haruhi Suzumiya and revisiting Danganronpa V3.I know, right? I was waiting for this game, but now I feel less exited about it. At last it is just for multiplayer (why there is even a multiplayer, anyway?).

Because it's an Uncharted clone and that had pvp shoved into it so Tomb Raider needs it too!
Very important, that one.
In RWBY, every girl is Best Girl.Goddamnit Overkill I respected you!
Fun Fact: The game director left last year and he does not approve of the current situation.

Is that Freddy vs Jason scene with weird colors supposed to be a way to prevent copyright strike?
It's far better than the more honest "Robots Sell Merchandise".
