Though G.I. Joe and SWAT Kats would work better as 2D shooters or 2D platformers. Also some RPGs would be awesome.

Good points.

For this game, looks like they did a great job also on the backgrounds of Eternia, right out of the cartoon series.

I read this post hours ago, and I still have "partly metal, partly real" looping in my head...can't say I liked the show, but that stupid theme song stuck with me for decades.

I wonder how desperate they'd have to be to make a Dinosaucers game? I'm sure someone has nostalgia for that "classic."

I think it would be interesting if they did anything with Dinosaucers or any other less popular or known 80's cartoon. Dinosaucers had such a great opening/theme song but the show was more childish then many of more well known cartoons. Maybe not as bad as Gobots but still....

Teela has her staff. I wonder if Man At Arms will be playable?
Kringer will be one of the animal rides in the game to gain an advantage.
Looks like He Man is fully powered and not regular Prince Adam.

Definitely give Challenge of the Gobots series another watch. The opening mini series is good, and the 65 episode series too. Stories that rivaled Transformers series if you watch them both fully, even if Transformers were more high-tech and advanced with the art and designs. Cy-kill was a ruthless enemy who would spare no one in the Gobots TV series. I think the series Scooter, voiced by the famous Frank Welker, is the main reason the show gets dismissed, but Scooter, once you get used to that high pitched voice, is a great character with depth and smart too, along with Turbo and Leader 1. I'd like to see a Go-Bots game eventually.

A Transformers Beat 'em Up, maybe they could transform into vehicles as their special moves. Or it would be like bumper cars if they were in vehicle form the whole time.

He-Man, Teela, Man At Arms, and She-Ra are the 4 playable characters.

I hope we get to play as The Sorceress, Evil-lyn, and Skeletor, unlockable or DLC.

That would be good.

I finished Final Vendetta for PS5, the developer's prior game it seems.
It's good, but the enemy variety is weak, as every stage I was fighting mostly the same enemies I just fought on the prior stages.

I got the game for 6.50 on sale on PS Store, but I can't see how they justify 24.99 for that game Final Vendetta. I completed the game in 30 minutes and just not enough enemy variety other than bosses. And they even reuse some bosses later on. It's good but can't get close to Streets of Rage or Final Fight IMO. The music is good, but the sound effects lacking. I want to hear a clunk when I hit the enemy with a metal bar, and a slice sound when slicing with the sword. But it's just a neutral sound. Not even metal sounding. They needed to do better with those sound effects too.

I think this game will be much better from the look of things.

I hope they add more playable characters as well.
