    Car/Truck/Plane/Helicopter
    Main Colours
    Highlights
    Colour of Energy blasts
    Head
    Melee Weapon (If they have those)

    Beyong that, I wouldn;t expect anything. Even that list is probably more extensive than it'll turn out. But I live in hope...

    The quote again:

    "....and also create their own Transformers character for competitive head-to-head multiplayer modes, choosing among four distinct character classes, personalising its look and selecting from a huge variety of weapons, skills and abilities.ā€"

    Excellent. This is a great way to improve upon the game's multiplayer aspects; by allowing for a rediculously large amount of customizeable features to a unique character, it can really make large battles be filled with noticeable individuals without being totally relegated to being story mode characters or those simple drones.

    There just better be a weapon akin to a gattling gun in this game, I LOVE laying down the hurt with a gattling gun in games like this.

    This could be awesome or pointless... depending on how creative they let you be. If we just get more seeker repaints, or 12 colors of Optimus Prime I'll be really disappointed. SIMs style character creation would be pretty sweet, but they still gotta transform... holding out this will be good though. I'd love to get my OOCs blowing heads off.

    This sounds great! But I agree with some of the others, the customiztion probably won't be as deep as some people are making it out to be, you're probably not gonna be able to remake every character from the lore...but there might be some potential to make a few homages.

    Nonetheless, its nice that we are getting some level of customization! I hope we get a demonstration of this in the near future. And I'm still wondering how multiplayer is going to work. I'm probably only a minority when I say I liked the ROTF game multiplayer, but I think some aspects of it worked pretty well. It would be cool if the multiplayer was like gears of war as well, where your placed in a squad of3 or 4 transformers...there is so much potential for this game!

    Agreed. The DS games for the two movies both had different aspects of this, and it made them really enjoyable. The first one had the ability to pick your form and change the colors. The second had the ability to change you weapon loadout. I see this multiplayer option combining both of these and possibly adding the ability to customize the appearance of the head.

    Unless you can't risk tuning it on because of the problems with the Playstation Network. :)

    Even if the edits only allow us to change color and name of pre-set palletes, that alone will be epic in TFverse.

    Amazing. Even if they don't include Constructicons... we can make our own. Fantastic!

    I'm guessing it'll be you are given several body types and then you get to customise the colour, physique and weaponary.

    you probably won't be able to go into super massive detail, it would take too much,

    If anything half resembling Rotorstorm is there in any form though, I'm there.

    I'm betting somebody's already hit on this, but I'm guessing that the "create your own character" is going to offer 4-5 stock bodies, limbs, etc. I'd also guess that the limbs will be limited to "wheel-based designs" or "wing-based designs" and like a 16-color or 256-color palette. Probably not going to be like "OHMAHGAWD FULL CUSTOMIZATION."
