    Megatron is level 10. Optimus starts off level 2 because he is the character shown when it passes by. I'm 99.9999% sure that Soundwave is level 9 since he has the "eject Mini-Cons" ability and that is the only level we don't know about.

    It isn't. They start off with chapter 3 and go forward from there.

    it is. it still says airstrike for chapter 2.... but he doesnt get him til chapter 3 :/ weird

    also the more I think about it. Tieger keeps saying how the abilitys are character specific , yet the only ones character specific are Prime, Grimlock , Megatron and Soundwave.

    all the others are used twice


    2 grapple hooks
    2 cloaks

    I really hope Ironhide is playable, he's my all-time favorite, but i think that was Warpath. One of my favorite things about WFC was the interchangability between characters. The new level structure might be a strength, but only if you can play as similarly-designed characters after the first play-through in my opinion. If you can only play as those guys in only those levels then it might start to get a little jaded.

    Here's my count so far:
    Level 1: Bumblebee
    Level 2 & 3: Optimus Prime
    Level 4: Cliffjumper
    Level 5: Jazz
    Level 6: Vortex
    Level 7: Swindle
    Level 9: Bruticus
    Level 10: Starscream
    Level 11: Megatron
    Level 12: Grimlock
    Level 13: ?

    I'm wondering where shockwave is gonna factor into these levels gameplay-wise

    I wouldn't call a 34 minute video a "quick look" but whatever. :) 
    Like the movies, it seems difficult to avoid seeing too much about this game before it is out. I believe anyone who has clicked even a few of these FoC news articles or videos has seen just about every big cool thing about the game. We know who you play as, what they do, and plenty of other details about it. I doubt there is much left to be pleasantly surprised by...
    I'm very unhappy about co-op campaign being removed. I was hoping they'd improve that feature by adding couch co-op split screen. Not being able to choose characters looks like there will be less playable characters in this one too, and I doubt the game is much longer than the first, if any longer, considering they showed the number of game chapters.
    Yay we get to be Grimlock and see the Dinobots. Yay for slightly better visuals and the continuation of the story. Still, I'm not all that hyped for this game. Maybe because I'm more into couch co-op and single player campaign than multiplayer by far.

    Level 8 is Bruticus and Level 9 is Soundwave. Shockwave does not have a level, he just plays a big role in the game.

    So, how do other playable characters work? Can we use other characters in the campaign mode or can we only use the character that the mission is tailored for?

    I see. So when DLC says that it unlocks a character, what it means is that you can use their chassis in Multiplayer?

    Sorry for being annoying but I did a quick check around and I can sorta gather that you chose a transformer and take on wave after wave of enemy, is this correct? Sounds pretty cool.

    Ah i gotcha, thanks :)  That doesn't make sense that's Shockwave doesn't have a level though, cuz they really have been pushing him.

    Well when he switched from G1 optimus to foc optimus and back, there was a little switch character button. I know this is reaching, but i still hope that you'd be able to play as a chassis of a similar type after the first play-through of a level.

    like using swindle on a jazz level would be cool, but then again swindle has a bigger chassis
