Transformers War for Cybertron Pre-Order Exclusives

Posted on 04-06-2010 at 02:27 PM by Tony_Bacala under Video Games
Demolishor
Activision sent us a line letting us know that there will be Exclusive characters available via Pre-Order at different outlets for Transformers War for Cybertron's online multi-player mode.

Starting today, Transformers fans can pre-order the game on Amazon.com to receive an exclusive code used to unlock DEMOLISHOR.

Additionally, fans can pre-order the game at GameStop to receive an exclusive code used to unlock SHOCKWAVE.


Note the G1 Shockwave, and Armada Demolishor references in these characters. Nice attention to detail.

Make sure to pre-order your copy today!

That's pretty cool, but I'll be good with my Shockwave from Gamestop!
Ceasar121
I can't lie, I hate these prerorder exclusive, because they force you to pick one. Why not have the characters available as DLC instead, so you can get one exclusive, and buy the rest? I hated that about Mass Effect 2.
Vangelus
Eeee~, I want to pwn noobs online with an Armada character!

He looks great.
Sideswipe80
I posted his trailer in the third post.
Mechafire
Well, that's majorly unexpected. Demolishor himself looks pretty freaking sweet. Hopefully there will be a way to get both of these exclusives without having to choose only one.

It's a code, so to me that insinuates they'll likely all be unlockable via gameplay means (or codes being posted on Gamefaqs within hours of launch).
Sideswipe80
You guys see his trailer I posted from Amazon? I'm happy with Shockwave myself.
Sso02V
The last Amazon preorder bonus (Red Ironhide in the RotF game) was unlockable in the game anyway, so who knows.

Could be codes like the ones given away with Halo ODST that unlocked Johnson. They just acted like a single use pre-paid card, and each code was unique.
Not like the Gold Prime + Megatron codes that were more cheat codes than anything else.

Wonder if either of these will be available in the UK, liking Demolishor a lot more than Shockwave.

It also appears from the trailer that you can use Demolishor in the campaign, as opposed to being tied to a single online game mode like Shockwave.

Dont codes stop working after they are used once?
Sideswipe80
I bet people are gonna be screaming for Hot Shot next, lol. I wonder if Wal-mart will have any exclusive? Oh and before anyone says anything at the end of the trailer it clearly says only for 360 and PS3 for the code, no Wii.
hupla
Wait so the code doesn't work for the PC? God damn casuals.

That's not surprising. Considering the treatment of the PC community and Transformers Games.

This is actually a nice treat though. I do hope that he is unlockable though, I'm only getting the one copy and Shockwave takes priority over Demolishor.

I pre-order'd at gamestop for Shockwave. Hopefully they're released at a later date to the public as DLC. Demolishor looks amazing and I'd pay for his character unlock; provided he's not a model swap of another character.
Acidophilus
I have mine ordered with Gamestop, and I prefer Shockwave, but Armada Demolishor is nice too.
So this means the character rooster is not limited to G1 characters. This opens a lot of possibilities.
Autobot Burnout
Interesting, maybe Demolisher's inclusion in WfC is to make up for the fact he's the only one of the four initial Decepticons didn't appear at all in the Armada game? (Those four being Demolisher, Cyclonus, Starscream, and of course Megatron, and instead of fighting Demolisher you fight Starscream again).

Either way, I've only got the Wii, so unless he becomes DLC he's not for me, although I'm not that upset since of the four initial Armada Decepticons, Demolisher was my least favorite of the bunch.
Toxicon
Oh. Mah. Fucking. Gawd.

YESSSSSSS LIFE ROCKS
Sideswipe80
Updated my first post with his trailer and IGN link. Do get a news credit for this?
Transformed
When're we going to get a Shockwave trailer?!

I like the demolisher build, but what's he doing in this game? I'll most likely end up getting this game through Amazon.com since they have better shipping rates to Japan, but I'd much rather have Shockwave than this guy...

EDIT: Where are the Autobot exclusive characters?

Weirdwolf
Sticking with Shockwave and my preorder with GameStop. Armada is something I'm happy to put behind me in collector's terms, my least favorite line out of them all. Too bad that the best TF game to date was the PS2 game based on Armada.
javaco
Demolisher looks amazing! just like his armada version! one of my favorite characters
Toxicon
After seeing the video, it seems Demolishor, too, is Escalation Mode-only. between him and Shockwave, I feel like that's the only MP mode I'll be playing.

Also, bonus points for having his badass eyepatch.
fallen2341
Demolisher looks sweet!
I pre-ordered it from gamestop though, oh well
Hopefully there'll be some other way to play as him.

Yeah I'm still bummed Shockers is only playable in that mode.

Demolisher certainly is a curve ball. I for one will be sticking with Shockwave so I'll be going with Gamestop but I will admit he does look rather sweet.
Blitz.
Shockwave or Demolisher... first to announce who is carrying the Pre-order content wins my moneys cuz frankly I want them both
Godziboy1993
So I guess I'll preorder it from Amazon and gamestop, get both versions with their bonus content, return the gamestop one with the receipt saying that it was a birthday gift or soemthing, and I get both exclusive multiplayer characters.

BOOYAH!
Slimaximus
Yeah I'm going with Shockwave
MrSoundmeister
yes,the choices! g1 inspried or armada? hmmm,really... i wish they made toys of these two... i would so love that.
dragonlord2200
ceasar121 i agree with u dude... i mean namco bandai did that with soul calibur 4 on the 360 we got yoda then later on down the line we got vader as dlc its only fair
G1Wheeljack
Already Pre-ordered at Gamestop way before any announcements of incentives, but I want Demolishor. He alsoseems to be quite a popular non-G1 character, first thrown into SG & now WFC.
Beastbot X
...Wow. Okay, with the including of DEMOLISHOR, I think we can safely assume these guys are real, bonafide TF fans and not just "oh I remember the tape dude, he rocked" kinda fans.

And I love Demolishor. I really hope he's unlockable via some other means than a preorder. If it was almost anyone else BUT Shockwave that was the Gamestop preorder exclusive, I'd cancel that and preorder the Amazon "version", but Shockwave is my fave G1 character, I'm not (possibly) giving that up.

This also gives me hope, however small, for a WfC Lugnut.

Well if you excuse me I'm gonna get my Armada Demolishor and put him back with my Classics....

As slick as Demolisher looks, I got all excited because I thought it was Razorclaw when I first saw the thumbnail... XD
SPLIT LIP
I wish Demolisher was the Gamestop exclusive.

Not that Shockwave isn't cool, though.
frenzyrumble
I am too excited for this game....and the figures for the game....I hope I can beat FF13 by the time this comes out, lol
guard convoy
glad i went with shockwave, seeing as you KNOW demolisher won't be dealt with like gamestop does pre-order bonuses, the code will be online

will be treated like red-ironhide

even if he is treated like gamestop does, i got the better of the two
artiepants
LOL, an Armada character.
that'll bring 'em running, Amazon.
Chimerus
Aw man sweet! but Gamestop.....

I wish it was the Energon redeco that had more of a Constructicon homage. Or at least had the Minicon for some playability!
PrimulArchangel
Im not rushing out to buy anything. Ill just get me a copy used or something and then cet the codes online im sure a lot of people will post the codes up for others to use.

that is the problem, with shockwave that will be an impossibility, in order to counter that, gamestop gives out a special one-use code that is different for each game (as in, there are thousands of different codes for the character)

amazon.com hasn't done that yet to my knowledge, so hopefully we can get demolisher like we did red ironhide for ROTF
mineraljane
I'm excited for this game, but still a bit hesitant due to the rather poor history of Transformers in video games. Pre-ordered from Gamestop already (using the 25% off posted in the 'Deals' thread), but it's nice that they're making some other exclusive characters.

As has been posted earlier in this thread, there is no guarantee that these codes won't be one-time use and not suitable for general usage. In the past, some games have used unique codes for these unlockables while others haven't.
Fosterlager
Or you wait a year for an ultimate edition that includes all of this stuff. With no guarantee, of course.

I sure hope so, but there have been instances where codes are one use only, like, the VIP code for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, so going on that assumption, I'm in a bind, because they are both in my list of favorites.
