Two New Characters Revealed for
Transformers: War for Cybertron
Activision has announced that the
next two playable characters – IRONHIDE and SKYWARP – are being revealed today
for Transformers: War for Cybertron on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
IRONHIDE
Autobot
Class: Soldier
Chassis: Truck
Primary Weapon: EMP Shotgun
Abilities: Whirlwind, Dash
Description: Ironhide is the oldest Autobot on the team. He is the slowest
Autobot on the team. He is also the meanest, toughest, orneriest Autobot on the
team. He is most definitely yesterday’s model, but he was built to last –
seemingly forever. He is a soldier, first and foremost, but his tough exterior
hides a deep compassion for life. He is one of Optimus’ most trusted advisors on
all matters.
SKYWARP
Decepticon
Class: Scout
Chassis: Jet
Primary Weapon: Thermo Rocket Launcher
Abilities: Cloak, Dash
Description: Skywarp possesses cloaking technology which he uses to sow
destruction upon his enemies. Skywarp isn’t the most intelligent Transformers
character in the Decepticon force, so he needs to be continually guided and told
what to do. Regardless, once set upon a path, Skywarp will achieve his goal with
quiet, ruthless efficiency.

instantly convert from robot to vehicle at any time, players will engage in
heart-pounding battles on land and in the air in this gripping, 3rd person
action shooter set in the TRANSFORMERS’ war-ravaged homeland. Complete with
several multiplayer modes, Transformers: War for Cybertron allows gamers to play
through story missions with their friends in drop in/drop out online co-op, and
also create their own TRANSFORMERS character for competitive head-to-head
multiplayer modes, choosing among four distinct character classes, personalizing
its look and selecting from a huge variety of weapons, skills and abilities.
The game hits store shelves on June
22, 2010.
