It is nice to see how they involve several universes into this game (G1, Animated, Movieverse). Slipstream is obviously from Animated, I wonder if she got any involvement with Starscream.

And is it me or is Arcee just becoming more and more kick-ass? I liked the twist in the IDW comic version and though the Animated version was peaceful, the toy did have those energon blades so who knows what she could have done if there was ever a season four.

I can only assume that she will, being a female seeker and all, let us just hope it's nothing liker being his female clone.

Looking at the multiplayer trailer again, it seems that our 'fanmade' characters are miscoloured versions of proper characters like Brawl and Ratchet... is that a blue Sideswipe?

They revealed that some time ago. You take one of the available 'templates' and add your own color scheme to it. Not sure if they released a video of doing that just yet - at least I haven't seen one.

Simple (yeah, as in simple) answer required:

Which is the best place to order this for PS3/PC in the UK and do they have a good character available?

Simple, please. Simple.

More new characters:

Jetfire and Sideswipe

Thundercracker

Sideswipe, especially, looks awesome!

EDIT:
Also note that the Weapon, Abilities, and Personality sections for the characters have been updated.

AFAIK, the only place that has a pre-order character up for the UK so far is play.com. It's Demolishor.

Media section of the official website updated with HD quality trailers and behind-the-scenes clips that we've already seen. Also added are clips of Shockwave, Jazz, and Demolisher; gameplay shots include transformations and alt. modes.

Just kidding. Gamestop is EB Games, so that was kinda expected.

...Am I the only one here who's getting kind-of irked by this whole "live here? get this one!" thing? I hate post-code lotteries when it comes to things like this. It sucks, seriously. :rant:

It sucks even MORE because I live in the UK, which means I'm stuck with ****ing 'Demolisher'. Everywhere else gets great characters like Shockwave and Jazz, and we get stuck with a sh*t character like Demolisher who's even more sh*t 'cause he's from the bloody Unicron Trilogy. What kind of incentive is that? An incentive to not preorder the game? :wall:

They will probably be released as paid downloadables, anyway. And it's not too late to count out other UK retailers, there might be something in the works.

It's a touch frustrating when it doesn't mention if it's US only or not, isn't it?

Looks like it's the DS version anyway.
