ah, well the original idea begin tossed around was that they would be like a series of mini-bosses, like metal gear. Each would be really unique and cool. You would have to fight each of your former teamates. Time and budget constraints meant they ended up as kind of a generic black ops squad.

Hmm I can't remember. I think what's there was pretty much what was planned...it was done late in production so we didn't have time to do anything to extravagant

IIRC the original plan was to have wolfpack be basically a bunch of minibosses you would fight through the game...kind of like metal gear

actually, you know what else? anything that needs to transform from one state to another. Like a robot to a car....that's a nightmare to design. So basically Transformers are my art nightmare.

i don't think we ever got that far along. We had one playable level with some desert raptors which were pretty much just a palette swap of the OG raptors.
