"and more" = Michael Bell (Sideswipe) and Gregg Berger (Grimlock)?

I hope they figured out how to process Megatron's and Soundwave's voices like in the original series.

This is too cool.

Thank Primus this game is being released on last gen consoles. I don't hate Activision yet. Shouldn't be too much nickle-and-dime-ya DLC.
I haven't bought a new video game in at least a year and already want this as much as the exclusive to Japan PS2 game, The Transfomers.
I really hope it's at least as good as WFC and FOC.

Glad it's coming out on PS3 since the only next gen console I have is a WiiU and the last TF game that got wasn't very good. I may not be a Die hard Geewunner but even I'm pretty excited about this.

Visually, It's jewel to marvel at, especially for the G1 fans. The only games I've paid full price for in the last two years were Batman Arkham Origins, WWE 2k14, and Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix...out of all three of them, I feel that the my money was only well spent on the latter third. My point is, I really hope Activision doesn't screw the fans around with DLC, or buggy controls. I'll wait for the price to drop and watch a couple of gampeplay videos before making a final decision.

As excited as I am about this, I'm actually rather bummed about not having playable Decepticons. I REALLY want to fly around as a seeker

Also guys I'm pretty sure we are going to get more playable guys then the 5 Autobots stated.

I mean where are the other memorable staple Autobots?

Jazz
Ironhide
Ratchet
Cliffjumper (Argueble)
Prowl (despite his absence from the High Moon games)
Arcee
Jetfire
Ultra Magnus
Hot Rod (Rodimus)

Probably a few more I could state but these are the ones at the very top of my head.

I hope there is Character DLC!

(I'm a sucker when it comes to dlc for my fave games I will buy all pieces of it no matter how expensive I buy all the season passes even if their $50)

I just need my DLC fix.

Well... I reported this news. And based on the info so far... I do. If you've got info, please share.

This news is still very fresh, I'm hoping if there aren't separate campaigns then playable Decepticons are at least unlockable. But for the moment, whats unconfirmed will be treated as such.

It's people like you that give developers reason to attempt to profit even more on an unfinished or broken product. In-game unlockable characters I can totally dig. Extra skins already in the game code for more money can suck it!
SMH. FML.

How likely is it that this will make its way onto Steam? I'm not into consoles

Yup I will pay for stuff like that and it clearly works if people still do it.

It's only a small loud minority that has a problem with dlc the reason you see people complain about DLC is because the people who are satisfied stay quiet.

You have a choice buy it or don't buy it if you dislike the dlc then don't buy it.
