If you’re a fan of the old Transformers games that were released on Xbox platforms before and hoping to play ’em again, there is a chance that could happen, though it is a bit of a longshot.

In an interview conducted at the San Diego Comic-Con, Hasbro mentioned that the old Transformers games are in an old hard drive at Activision, and that if the Microsoft acquisition of the publisher does continue, there is a chance these games could go on Game Pass.

Q: Possible to re-release the Activision TF games to coincide with Gamer Edition?

A: Sadly, apparently Activision’s not sure what hard drives they’re on in their building. When a company eats a company that eats a company things get lost, and that’s very frustrating. Hope is that now that the deal is moving forward with Microsoft and Xbox that they’ll go through all of the archives and every hard drive to find it all, because it’s an easy Game Pass add. We want those games back up for people to have a chance to play.

Mind, there’s no guarantee that if the Activision buyout of Microsoft does push through that we’ll see the old Transformers games hits Game Pass, but there is a chance.

For reference, here are the Transformers games that got released on Xbox platforms (via Wikipedia):

• Transformers: Devastation
• Transformers: The Game
• Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
• Transformers: Dark of the Moon
• Transformers: War for Cybertron
• Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
• Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark

Of course, there’s quite a lot of games based on the property that never saw release on Xbox platforms, that could potentially see the light of day on an Xbox release if Microsoft makes enough of an effort to find those drives.

Would you want to play the old Transformers games? Perhaps if Activision finds the hard drives that store the game code, we could potentially see a re-release on all platforms down the line? One can hope.
