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?!

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?

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.

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.
