XBox Live Marketplace has added a
listing for what appears to be upcoming downloadable content for "War for Cybertron".
XBox Live Marketplace wrote:Become the ultimate weapon and wage war in four new maps – engage in multiplayer combat in HAVOC and FORTRESS or fend off waves of Autobots in DISTRICT, and Decepticons in FORSAKEN, two new Escalation mode maps. Also gain access to 5 characters and their chassis for use in Escalation mode and Multiplayer character creation; SCATTERSHOT™, ONSLAUGHT™, DEMOLISHOR™, SHOCKWAVE™ and JAZZ™ are ready for battle. Fight to the end in the war that started it all! There are no refunds for this item. For more information, see
www.xbox.com/live/accounts.
Interestingly enough, it appears that this DLC pack includes the previously exclusive Demolisher, Shockwave, and Jazz Multiplayer Characters.
No release date or price is available at this time, but stick with
Seibertron.com for your "War for Cybertron" coverage!

Awesome! More Autobot tanks!!
Anyone wanna bet that the blue tank-looking bot in the credits is really Scattershot? That's who I thought it was when I first saw it
EDIT: I wonder what Onslaught is going to look like. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who thought that Brawl was Onslaught since he looked a lot like him (twin cannons on back, similar face)

This is pretty funny. Sucks for all the geniuses spending $75-$125 dollars for Demolishor/Jazz codes on eBay right now.
I knew they'd release a DLC with all three of the pre-order characters.
Personally I got Jazz [ from Best Buy ] and I'm glad I did, too many FPS noob Shockwaves running around.

Heres the thing, multiplayer gets some more skins/Chasis but we only really get three instead of five for multiplayer. Yes, you may get Jazz for escalation, but I seem to see that his Chasis is already in multiplayer. I never got a code for him and I have been using it since day one as my scout. I'm not complaining, I'm excited, I really am, just saying.

Cool, more diverse characters for me to slice in half.

They always do this sort of thing. It's par for the course. I'm surprised people were so rabid in buying the codes.

Just so you all know, to see Onslaught and Scattershot, look in the Concept art under the Autobot and Decepticon secondary characters....you will also see a red and gold Decepticon car (possibly another stunticon?). I'm just glad Onslaught will be another leader chassis for the 'cons, I can only play as soundwave for so long.

Why should you be? They're dumb.

It's not really surprising or interesting that they're adding the exclusive characters to a DLC pack. It was inevitable. It'll probably cost 560-800 points.

Is this an Xbox only thing, or is the DLC coming to the PS3 too? Anyone heard?

Could be wrong here, or maybe you got a lucky glitch, but I think you might be seeing the Sideswipe chasis in multiplayer.

How completely expected!
But, yay! I wanted Demolisher, but my bro wanted Jazz.
Now, we can have both.

Don't act so snide just because PS didn't get the stupid Demo, PSN will probably have this too but you're going to have to pay for it just like the rest of us.

Everything else? I have the PS3 version, what am I missing that the 360 version has?

Considering the concept art its surprising that theres no Dead End amongst that lot. Going by concept art though if Onslaught remains like he looks there and is a leader class chasis he'll be replacing Soundwave for me.

My thoughts exactly. I'm surprised that people were paying
that much.

About an hour's worth of gameplay and a chance to get your ass kicked by the dev team. I can't believe we missed out on those things.

Quick question, why do you automatically think it'll be the Autobot tank? He was after all, originally a Cybertronian Jet.

Suprised by this? Not at all....Typcial..
If they could put out a patch to fix the laggy ass servers this games Mp could be stellar..The few games (and I mean few) I have been in are action packed and suprisingly balanced..Something alot of other Popular Mp games should work on

Funny, but the link on the xbox site is gone, just says the link is outdated and it's no longer showing up.
