Game Spot have posted a video interview with the creative group that brings us the Revenge of the Fallen video game. The video analyzes the multiplayer options available and refers to Blackout by his new name, ‘Grindor’.
Joystiq meanwhile has posted a video showing off the game’s multiplayer modes as well as a hands-on review and some screenshots:
Ironically, the most improved part of the game are the transformations, which look terrific. If you jump off a building and transform into an auto or a jet on the way down, you’ll either hit the ground with wheels screeching, or rocket off into the sky — pretty thrilling stuff. A couple of the characters, like Sideways, are armed with sniper rifles, allowing you to grab a good vantage point and take a few shots before zooming off to a new spot. Translation: kablam, transform, roll out, transform, shoot again.
Sets of new movie stills from Transformers Revenge of the Fallen have been popping up all over the shop. I’m including the newest ones below (including an awesome Optimus Prime shot), the others we have seen before in various incarnations:
Not yet in high definition or standard quality, but here is a clear TV-recorded version bootleg that shows off all the best bits of the fifth Transformers 2 TV spot.
A few more pictures of the Legends class Devastator toy have surfaced via ACToys, this is the version that combines seven vehicles into one robot, as well as each vehicle having its own robot mode. This also our first good look at Overload that bears some resemblance to Long Haul.
A toy named ‘Ejector’, with a toaster alt mode has surfaced. This character probably only features in the movie for a very short time, in the kitchen-appliance mishap scenes we’ve read about in the coloring book and novelizations.
Ejector
Born mindless and driven by the heat pulsing in his tiny body, Ejector knows nothing but how to burn. Even when he was a simple toaster burning things was what he did best. Now that he’s got a simple mind of his own, and flamethrowers to go with it, he lives to torch everything around him.
Two new Human Alliance toy packages have been revealed, to go alongside the Sam and Bumblebee mix we have Mikaela and Skids as well as Epps and Sideswipe.
Skids and Mikaela
Autobot Skids likes to think of himself as pretty capable, but the fact is Mikaela is a better driver then he is. With her behind the wheel, and him concentrating on squeezing every last bit of power out of his engines, even the fastest, most powerful Decepticons have trouble keeping up.
Sideswipe and Epps
When Sideswipe arrive on Earth, he was a raw, untrained fighter, used to battling alone and outnumbered. He was teamed with Epps so the Tech Sergeant could whip him into shape as an effective member of the strike team led by Ironhide. The two have become good friends. In combat, Epps’ combat-hardened instincts direct the speed and cunning of Sideswipe with devastating effectiveness.
Megan-Fox.net have posted a set of all new stills from Transformers 2, showing Mikaela riding a bike with Sam along with some very high resolution shots of Megan Fox, Shia, Ramon, etc. All very nice.
