Transformers: Seek revenge with fallen Megatron

by Kevin Kelly { May 14th 2009 at 11:30AM }

The first Transformers game was ... uh, it made the movie look like a Best Picture contender. The sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, is all about redemption -- albeit, evil redemption. Activision today released a list of playable characters (posted after the break), along with these new images, and, well, at least the gang looks like a fun crowd to play with:

still mad they went down to the "deepest" part of the ocean and brought his ass back.....I mean we KNEW it would happen cause you cant KILL Megatron but geeeeeeeeeeez, give it a few movies before you bring him back.

Also, when did he get all FAT? Someone needs to lay off the carb...uretors.

See what I did there?!?

Mazrael @ May 14th 2009 12:18PM

That 'FAT' one isn't megatron, it's part of Devastator, called Long Haul - a huge dump truck

Kevin @ May 14th 2009 12:18PM

Yes, I did see it. Please don't do it again.

The Dark Wayne @ May 14th 2009 3:09PM

they cant really do that, I mean there isn't really a villain for Transformers, except maybe Galvatron, who is just upgraded Megatron, or I guess Unicron, but that's too ridiculous for a live action movie.

@The Dark Wayne:

That's not entirely true. Shockwave had actually overthrown Megatron as the Decepticon leader at one point, as his logic dictated he (Shockwave) is the superior leader. Additionally, Skorponok, Thunderwing, and Bludgeon each had their turns at ruling the Decepticons.

Though this is comic-book canon, and your average movie-goer/'80s cartoon-watcher wouldn't even recognize those names (aside from Shockwave and maybe Skorponok) so I guess my point was Megatron/Galvatron aren't the only villains/leaders of the Decepticons the Autobots dealt with. :)

The Dark Wayne @ May 14th 2009 8:01PM

you are correct, and I am ashamed that I had forgotten all about shockwave, if not the others as well.

dabamf @ May 14th 2009 11:38AM

Here's hoping this is the "Spider-man 2" of the Transformers video game series...

Jorge @ May 14th 2009 6:18PM

More like the 'Shrek 2' of the transformers video game series if you know what I mean..

playwhutyalike @ May 14th 2009 11:43AM

I still can't believe how horrible the graphics were across all the consoles it was released on.

NaeemTHM @ May 14th 2009 11:45AM

I'm going to be Starscream and not do a damn thing I'm told.

cjshrader @ May 14th 2009 12:14PM

Sometimes I like to play GTA and follow all of the speed limits and traffic signals. It's not as fun.

Jason Statham (Aka Vegeta) @ May 14th 2009 12:21PM

YOU'VE FAILED ME FOR THE LAST TIME STARSCREAM!!!

Chris @ May 14th 2009 11:56AM

Aw, I'm kinda let down. I was really looking forward to playing as the new Corvette, Sideswipe.

Oh well, all in all it's looking really cool. I do with they would make a Next-Gen game like the DS version of Transformers: The Movie Game where you are a rookie generic robot and the longer you play the more real-world vehicles you unlock that you can scan and become. I thought that was a genius move and would love to see it done in full HD glory with all the bells and whistles that go with it. THAT would be the "Spider-Man 2" of Transformers games! neo

chunk @ May 14th 2009 12:05PM

I heard the upcoming movie is a big fail cos the acting in it is a little robotic... boom boom! I thank you...

Gehodra @ May 14th 2009 12:08PM

Okay, that was so bad that I burst out laughing. I applaud you.

The Dark Wayne @ May 14th 2009 3:06PM

HIYO!

Dirty @ May 14th 2009 12:05PM

Well the wolverine game was pretty decent, all we can do is cross our joystiqs and hope for the best.

Zoot Suit Jedi @ May 14th 2009 12:48PM

Call me old fashioned, but I refuse to "cross joystiqs" with anyone.

Freeze @ May 14th 2009 12:07PM

Aerialbot? Isn't that the name of all 5 autobot jets? Aerialbots?

CannabisPrime @ May 14th 2009 12:15PM

Yes, the 5 Aerialbots formed Superion.

The same goes for Protectobot, as well. The Protectobots were the rescuse vehicles that formed Defensor.

cjshrader @ May 14th 2009 12:15PM

No Soundwave is always a heartbreaker.

ribminster @ May 14th 2009 12:51PM

Transformers was an Oscar contender with nominations in 3 categories.

Nook @ May 14th 2009 1:08PM

and after the admission that movie tie in game titles are not expected to be any good...NOW we're supposed to be sold this would be an improvement.

note to people involved in these titles: QUIT WASTING OUR PLANETS RESOURCES ON SHIT PRODUCTS

make it worthwhile, or don't fucking do it at all. lord knows i ignore all movie based games, that trend will not change.

chris.rackley @ May 14th 2009 1:21PM

I still don't get the hating on Shia LeBeouf. He's the most talented actor of his generation and he pretty much carried the first Transformers by grounding it through all of its corny dialogue.

Seriously, it's old. If you want to hate on someone, hate on the script writers who couldn't give any of the Transformers something worthwhile to say, Jazz in particular.

Reevr @ May 14th 2009 1:31PM

You're exactly right. Shia definitely grounded it through it's corny dialogue and I think it's cause he recognized how bad some of it was. I was watching some of the special features on Blu-Ray yesterday and there was a part where he was calling out Micheal Bay on how stupid a line of his was. The line was "I'll never give you the Allspark!" Surprisingly enough though, Shia did a great job making it not sound corny.
Lol I still remember watching him every day after school in Even Stevens :D

RedSonRising @ May 14th 2009 1:43PM

lol, shia carried transformers...

the only reason i watch transformers is to gawk at Meghan Fox. without her its just another summer disposable summer blockbuster.

the only way ill play the game is if the cutscenes are just close up slow-mo shots of Fox on that chopper in the trailer...
