Transformers: War for Cybertron features two distinct storylines: the Autobot campaign tells a story of heroism to save their home planet against overwhelming odds, and the Decepticon campaign tells a story of an unquenchable thirst for power to control the universe.

Transformers: War for Cybertron challenges players to become the ultimate weapon as a Transformers character in the final, epic war that will determine the survival of their entire race.  Armed with a diverse arsenal of lethal, high-tech weaponry and the ability to 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 features a sci-fi art style that introduces to fans the entire living, metallic world of Cybertron, as well as all-new visualizations of the iconic Transformers characters in their original Cybertronian forms.

The next two playable characters are being revealed today for Transformers: War for Cybertron on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

IRONHIDE (Autobot )

• Class: Soldier
• Chassis: Truck
• Primary Weapon: EMP Shotgun
• Abilities: Whirlwind, Dash

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

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.
