Transformers game interview over at Superhero Hype

There’s a new interview about the Transformers game, courtesy of Superhero Hype, and they’ve got the goods on the games’ features, confirming some of the earlier information we had regarding the game and adding some new info on top as well.

For the most part, one of the new bits of information we’ve heard is that this game will start off with nine playable Transformers, which are probably the staples from the movie. You can unlock a host of other characters through play, and though we’ve mentioned a maximum of 20 characters previously, there may be more or less depending on what their production team manages to cook up. These characters are all supposed to have their own individual movesets, so don’t expect Bumblebee to play like Megatron, because Bumblebee certainly doesn’t have the same brawling capabilities of the leader-type bots.

More importantly, they also note additional details  on the questing system set up for Activision and Hasbro‘s new baby. Daniel Suarez, Activision‘s executive producer, notes that there’ll be two different storylines depending on the type of bot you bring to battle:

If the player decides to be the good guy, then their adventure will focus on the key plot points of the film where they come to Earth and are pitted against the Decepticons.

On the flipside, if the player decides to be evil and picks the Decepticons, the game story is uniquely different and answers the question, “What if the Decepticons win?” All the events in the Decepticons campaign never occur in the film and were created specifically for the game.

All in all, there’s no reason to complain. Any game that lets you play a maniacal Decepticon hell-bent on blowing things up and ruling mankind deserves a healthy vote of confidence from gamers. Oh, and there’s Megatron too.
