Motto: "Don't do drugs, beer's cheaper anyway!"
Thanks to seibertron.com member Symbiote Spiderman14 we now know that the anticipated game Transformers:War for Cybertron is going to include every-bodies favourite emotionless Decepticon, old "one eye" Shockwave himself.
Shockwave will be only playable in online multiplayer mode and will be a GameStop pre-order exclusive.
Just click here to visit GameStop's pre-order page.
Reserve Transformers: War for Cybertron and gain access to the GameStop Exclusive multiplayer character SHOCKWAVE. Serving as the Decepticon’s military operations commander, SHOCKWAVE is 2nd in power only to MEGATRON, and is playable only in Escalation mode in Multiplayer mode. Available online and in-store while supplies last.

As of yet it is unknown how or if non US players will be able to get Shockwave but stay tuned to seibertron.com as we keep you updated!

Due to his rather unique birth, Grimlock has a slow but endearing speech pattern, which can easily make you forget he's Godzilla with style. And weapons.

I wouldnt get too ecited about the exclusive unlock code. Most of the time its just a password or button combot that you can find online or its something you will unlock in the game eventually anyway. I seriously doubt that activision produced a character model that will only be available to customers of one retailer. I was really hoping they would do something cool like a minicon or a keychain or something but they have been getting cheaper with insentives.
For the record Gamestops bad mmmmkay!

So will it just be some kind of code you put in to unlock them, like the first movie game?

GameSuck? Aw, man. Means most likely that we here in Norway are going to get shafted. Here's to hoping the local game store (GAME) gets Shockwave. Though I'd be furious if it was for example Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime or Ultra Magnus that was the exclusive. Though seriously, we need ol' Shocky as a standard character, not a exclusive. /facepalm.jpg :CON:

Just because Gamestop says it's exclusive to them, doesn't mean it is. They say the same thing about pretty much every pre-order bonus for every game, even if it isn't true, and it almost always isn't.

I'm curious about this too, as I'd probably be getting the Wii version of this seeing as I have no 360 and have no intention of buying one in the near future.

Exclusive video game content is an even worse idea than exclusive figures. At least with figures there's an aftermarket.

Well, this sucks. Not that I don't love Shockwave, I just hate the fact that he's only playable in Multiplayer mode. I never use Multiplayer on any game, & I don't expect any different for this game...

Hmm, I am excited about this. I don't know if I'll go out and pre-order it just to unlock Shockwave but I am very interested in learning how they will run the multiplayer. If the campaign is short, the multiplayer will have to sell the game for me.

Online only? goddamnit i hate online only skins. Now the real question is, will it be a real exclusive via DLC code or just some universal code you enter at the menu like ROTF had, that was crap.

Well, that is frustrating. Not so much that its a store exclusive, but that its online only. I want to play the game as shockwave.

Meh. I've never been a hug fan of Shockwave. I always thought he was a wussy bot. I hate playing online so he won't be missed by me!

Well, this sucks. I was hoping for a figure as an incentive for preorder. I wonder if they would do a Collectors Edition like that. I honestly have not much use for an online-only character.

I'm getting really tired of this online-only junk...makes me want a PS3 and 360 even less, it's just making me angry. If it turns out to really be Gamestop-exclusive, which I doubt it will be, that pretty much shuts out any possibility of him for me anyways.
