Awhile back, we received notice that the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen video game would have a Downloadable Expansion pack, featuring ten new characters, three new maps and a new difficulty mode. Only the Xbox 360 and the PS3 will feature this expansion, thus the Wii is to be left out. With this first notice, we also were given the images of two of the new characters G1 Starscream and Sideswipe;

and now we get to see G1 Optimus,

and Soundwave, who is very similar to his 'Gathering at the Nemesis' color scheme.

The PC version won't get these expansions?!

Yay.

Are all the new characters only for Multiplayer? That would suck since I would LOVE to play as G1 Prime & Soundwave. Plus I'd have to get a Gold membership....

With 3 new levels, I believe these 10 new characters are integrated into the campaign module. Of course, even if it isn't, I'll still be happy playing as Sideswipe.

Switching over to the PC aspect, you won't be getting this expansion as it's something you'll have to pay on the Xbox and PS3 marketplaces, however I'm sure the PC version will have some sort of upgrades.

Ugh.... I really wish they didnt release these G1 characters. If it were a game with only G1 characters it would be alright, but its going to drive me crazy seeing G1 characters with movie characters. The G1 repaints and gold characters annoy me enough. But I am looking forward to it.

Why won't Luxoflux make an expansion pack for PC dangnabbit? :evil:

Again, why does the Wii get no love from this?

Frak yeah Soundwave. Sorry Sideways looks like your about to get replaced as my favorite character in this game. I hope they're all playable in single player. That would kick ass.

Sweet, I just finished playing this game and I still love it. Can't wait for the expansion!

I hope we get some NMC toys as characters (Bludgeon, Scattorshot, Breakdown ect)

i would definitely buy a game if it used the G1 characters and especially if they looked that good...movie bots look too busy and give me a headache...

Change your sig, I keep thinking your Megatron Wolf

(it was his old sig)

On topic, I think it'll be great having both G1 and Movie characters in game. I just hope that they are new characters and not just skins of their movie counterparts.

Predictions for the other 6+

G1:

Megatron
Ironhide
Bumblebee
Ratchet
Thundercracker

Movie:

Arcee
Scrapper
Skids
Mudflap
Jetfire

Maan i wonder how fast would Soundwave go in his satellite mode. Satelites go pretty slow...oh well we shall see. and i'm also SURE that JETFIRE is gonna part of this DLC. He was already part of the single player mode in Cairo. :-?

Posted by Tyrannotaur on August 1st, 2009 @ 12:21am CDT

I so called Soundwave. Nice to see G1 Prime.

Right now since we have 4, I predict the other 6 will be..
- G2 Megatron (he can't really be G!, Mass Shifting FTL)
-Skids
-Mudflap
-Jetfire (he is already in the wii and PS2 version)
- Barricade (I hope)
- Scrapper

Gonna go buy the game on Sunday. Coolz!

Actually if I remember correctly, G1 Ironhide or simply Movie Ironhide in his G1 Deco, was actually available only if you preordered RoTF The Video Game via Amazon.com. Anyone remember this to be true?

Soundwave actually has a jet mode, too.

When I rented it, I was able to unlock Ironhide in G1 deco.

WHEN ...WHEN...I want arcee ( movie form ) and the ability to combine her . AND, I want g1 megatron to transform into the p-38 walter handgun , being held by any close decepticon. That would be incredible. oh yeah ...and Bruticus. :grin:

Re: Transformers RotF Game Expansion: G1 Optimus and Soundwave (965854)
Posted by Optimus_Prime_6978 on August 1st, 2009 @ 2:10am CDT

I doubt you'll get Megs in his gun form. And definetely not Bruticus.

This is what I believe will be the new characters and possibly skins.

Megatron (New skin for Megatron that will use Megatron (Flight) even if using the normal character) counterpart for G1 Optimus Prime
Bumblebee (G1) counterpart for G1 Starscream
Ratchet (G1 Colors) counterpart for Long Haul (Yellow)
Arcee (New character) counterpart for Soundwave
Jetfire (Playable character from NPC model) counterpart for Scrapper
Scrapper (Playable character based on Constructicon drone) counterpart for Jetfire

Maybe Arcee will split into the three bikes for her vehicle mode and all transform together as the singular robot mode.

That's what I hope and believe at least

Your right , I probably won't get the gun form but it was a great idea..I though also a red recolor of bumblebee a.k.a. cliffjumper...

I feel like it's Christmas waiting on the DLC...

I could play this game forever...now if I could convince my wife and children to do the same..Even though I finished it in 2 days. They should add new boss fights too ...and finish it off with fighting UNICRON...****activision /luxoflux :grin:

...take notes for future DLC...

That soundwave probably comes in two colours. The one we all love, and then his movie gray.

They might bring in some of the 2007 characters too, with hasbro reselling them all it seems.

Re: Transformers RotF Game Expansion: G1 Optimus and Soundwave (965876)
Posted by llorractimus on August 1st, 2009 @ 3:19am CDT

They should have done g1 soundwave with Rumble and Ravage as the special action .

Re: Transformers RotF Game Expansion: G1 Optimus and Soundwave (965884)
Posted by Rodimus_light on August 1st, 2009 @ 3:39am CDT

Jetfire and the Fallen are my biggest character wants. a Devastator level would be sweet but maybe later. If we are getting soundwave I think his special should be spitting out a ravage turret, like Grindor but more awesome.

Re: Transformers RotF Game Expansion: G1 Optimus and Soundwave (965900)
Posted by Dclone Soundwave on August 1st, 2009 @ 5:08am CDT

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone else notice something about that cloud in Soundwave's pic? If you tilt your head to the left, it kinda looks like Leader-1 from the Go-Bots....

Looks more like a baby Grimlock signal to me.

G1 Ironhide, like G1 Starscream and Gold Megatron/Prime were easy unlockables in the single player campaign. Very plausable that a G1 Ironhide, Ratchet, Bumblebee, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Megatron, Jetfire and Sideswipe are possible DLCs.

Maybe if they do a G1 Soundwave. A ROTF Soundwave special I think would probably have something to do with intelligence (I would guess that ROTF Ravage might be a playable character sometime later), like jamming the enemies radar, have something similiar to X-Ray vision, except only by sound waves instead. Could also be something that makes everyone look like a Decepticon (useless for Free-for-All). One thing I know is I can't wait to find out.

Confirmed sources have Jazz in the line-up along with G1 Megatron. Also Barricade is in the mix not sure if it will be the first character pack but he is on the list. Jazz was chosen to be part of the pack due to fan cryout. Expect half the pack to be G1 characters and the other half movie tie-ins.

Re: Transformers RotF Game Expansion: G1 Optimus and Soundwave (974729)
Posted by T-man5000 on August 15th, 2009 @ 11:42pm CDT

Nice!!!!!!
Jazz is so sweet. They should also do Bonecrusher or Brawl in the upcoming dlc or sometime later

Re: Transformers RotF Game Expansion: G1 Optimus and Soundwave (979198)
Posted by Sidewaysx79 on August 22nd, 2009 @ 2:28am CDT

I hope for Bonecrusher or Brawl too.

Buuut, out of those 2 Brawl seems more likely. He has guns and lots of different weapons, while Bonecrusher pretty much had that scorpion tail like thing and thats it.

I'll download this when it comes out, but its going to drive me frickin insane fighting G1 characters and movie characters together. They just look so stupid next to each other. The G1 Optimus and G1 Starscream are going to be fan favorites, no doubt...I also see no point in there being a Barricade if theres a Sideways. Why not add a totally different character, like, oh I dunno, say...Bonecrusher?
