"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.

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.

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.

Burton's Shockwave isn't that difficult to mimic. It could be anyone who good at impressions, really.

I'm holding out hope that Shockwave as 2IC is just a temporary thing. I remember reading that Starscream is recruited during the game, perhaps he will usurp the title from Shockwave. It just seems really weird to me personally when Starscream is not Megatrons 2IC, It feels like a major part of the character.
(No offence meant to Shockwave fans) :x


*That and a Multiplayer only character holding such a major rank seems like it would do weird things to the command dynamics in game, but maybe I'm overthinking it.

Omg I laughed so hard at this :lol: Sounds like Burton to me, but then again Shocky's voice is a bit more animated. I like Starscream though, kinda nice that he's not so winy. Are these the actual game voices? or just some guys for the commercial only?

I think maybe Shocky has such a big role (so to speak) because this is a commercial. I don't think this is how it will be in game. Though it would be funny if they kept some of the humor.

I personally wanted Jazz, but best buy doesn't have trade-ins. Guess Shocky rocks though, seeing as I was planning on the Scientist class anywho.
