In the new game, devel­oped under license from Has­bro, play­ers are thrust into an adrenaline-pumping bat­tle to defend Earth from a DECEPTICON attack that threat­ens mankind.

“Trans­form­ers: Revenge of the Fallen fea­tures an exten­sive line-up of film actors, along with the voice tal­ent that fans will rec­og­nize from the clas­sic ani­mated series,” said Rob Kos­tich, head of mar­ket­ing for licensed prop­er­ties, Activi­sion Pub­lish­ing, Inc. “The diverse cast allowed us to not only cap­ture the epic sto­ry­line from the film, but also seam­lessly expand the fic­tion to cre­ate a unique and authen­tic TRANSFORMERS expe­ri­ence that fans of all ages will enjoy.”

In addi­tion to Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, Peter Cullen (Opti­mus Prime), Mark Ryan (Bum­ble­bee), Jess Har­nell (Iron­hide), Charles Adler (Starscream) and Robert Fox­worth (Ratchet) reprised their film roles for the game.

After engag­ing in sin­gle player action, play­ers for the first time ever will be able to go online and bat­tle friends in all-new mul­ti­player modes.
