A comical War For Cybertron Preview Video has been created by GameStop. It features the Decepticons with their exclusive pre-order character Shockwave taking charge. We get to see Soundwave turn into a boombox, with the classic 'The Touch' by Stan Bush in the surround. Check out the video embed below or on Youtube.

"Decepticon second-in-command"? Um... well, I guess this wouldn't be the first time Starscream was present but not the second-in-command.

I'm also still curious as to who's doing the voices of these guys, seeing as how every VA in this game (other than Peter Cullen) is someone new who's never done a voice in Transformers.

Still, awesome commercial.

Awesome! Love it. Traded in that crapfest FF XIII to Gamestop for their pre-order. I'm an Autobot guy, but Shockwave is a badass. Can't wait 3 more weeks.

Yeah, "when your hit percentage exceeds mine, you may choose the soundtrack." That was funny. Great to have you aboard at last Drax, see you around on the forums my friend!

I was gonna cancel my GS preorder to get Best Buy's Jazz, but... :lol:

Also, in regards to Cullen being the only returning Transformers voice actor on WFC...I dunno, that sounded a lot like Corey Burton's Shockwave to me... :-?

Probably because it's a cheesy, overused, Autobot anthem.

It would've been awesome to hear Instruments of Destruction instead...IMO it's more appropriate since it's the Decepticon equivalent of The Touch.

Or "Cold Slither".

Maybe they lost the rights?

I thought the same thing. That's either Corey Burton of a damned good impersonator.

I also believe that it's Mr. Burton. Also, Starscream's voice sounds a lot like Sam Riegal, the voice of Donatello in the 2003 TMNT series. If so, he's an interesting choice.
