Return to Pro­vide Voice-Over Performances

Santa Mon­ica, CA — May 15, 2009 — Activi­sion Pub­lish­ing, Inc. (Nas­daq: ATVI) has assem­bled an all-star cast for the upcom­ing Trans­form­ers: Revenge of the Fallen video game, includ­ing the film’s leads Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, who will reprise their star­ring roles in the game, and fan favorites Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, the voices of OPTIMUS PRIME and MEGATRON from the orig­i­nal ani­mated series. 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. Voice-over vet­er­ans John Di Mag­gio (Side­ways) and James Arnold Tay­lor (The Fallen) also join the roster.

The Trans­form­ers: Revenge of the Fallen video game is based on the upcom­ing live-action fea­ture film from Dream­Works Pic­tures and Para­mount Pic­tures in asso­ci­a­tion with Has­bro, which opens nation­wide on June 24, 2009.* The game lets play­ers take on the role of their favorite AUTOBOTS or DECEPTICONS, pick­ing from the largest, most diverse range of playable Trans­form­ers — each with their own dis­tinct abil­i­ties and weaponry. Set in unique envi­ron­ments across the globe such as Cairo and Shang­hai, the game allows play­ers to instantly switch between vehi­cle and robot modes as they drive, fly, fight and blast their way through intense, pressure-packed lev­els. 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.

The Trans­form­ers: Revenge of the Fallen video game is cur­rently in devel­op­ment by Lux­oflux for the Xbox 360 video game and enter­tain­ment sys­tem from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION3 com­puter enter­tain­ment sys­tem, and is rated “T” (Teen — Mild Lan­guage, Vio­lence); the Win­dows PC ver­sion is being devel­oped by Beenox Stu­dios and is also rated “T” (Teen — Mild Lan­guage, Vio­lence); the dis­tinct Wii and PlayStation2 com­puter enter­tain­ment sys­tem ver­sions are being devel­oped by Krome Stu­dios and are rated “T” (“Teen” — Fan­tasy Vio­lence); two unique AUTOBOT and DECEPTICON-specific Nin­tendo DS ver­sions are being devel­oped by Vic­ar­i­ous Visions and are rated “E10+” (Every­one 10 and older — Fan­tasy Vio­lence); the PSP (PlaySta­tion­Portable) sys­tem ver­sion is being devel­oped by Sav­age Enter­tain­ment and is rated “E10+” (Every­one 10 and older — Fan­tasy Violence).

A new Trans­form­ers video game trailer has been released, split into two halves, Auto­bot and Decep­ti­con respec­tively, we get our first glimpse of Dev­as­ta­tor, Ram­page, Black­out and more.

This also seems like an apt moment to fill you in on some fur­ther video game details. Gamestop recently updated their pre-orders page an in-turn the video game cover:

And IGN UK the Nin­tendo DS cover:

The Trans­form­ers Video game web­site has updated with the Bat­tle for the AllSpark game:

The offi­cial Trans­form­ers 2 video game site has launched today, con­tain­ing new screen­shots, the video game trailer we have pre­vi­ously seen and an inter­est­ing set of con­cept art for the game. Mean­while Kotaku have posted some addi­tional screen­shots of the PS3/360Wii and Nin­tendo DS ver­sions of the game.

Video game con­cept art

One area found on the new site that is com­pletely new is a small gallery of con­cept art images. They show an inner city con­struc­tion site being looked upon by Bum­ble­bee and Bum­ble­bee fight­ing the huge two wheeled exca­va­tor con­struc­ti­con in Shang­hai. There is also an inter­est­ing image show­ing a beam of light com­ing down from the sky — the pic­ture is named ‘har­vester’ — per­haps the Sun har­vester men­tioned in Defi­ance #4 and pos­si­bly seen in the kids col­or­ing book.

Details about the game

Kotaku go into some depth about the game’s fea­tures, which I have surmised:

- Closely fol­lows plot of movie
– No lin­ear story, cen­tral hub from there you select mis­sions to play
– Can play as Auto­bot or Decep­ti­con and can choose your Trans­former
– Mis­sions are timed and com­plet­ing them quickly can earn you Trans­former upgrades
– You can climb up the sides of build­ings
– The demo showed that Side­ways (Audi R8) is a sniper robot, com­plete with rifle
– One but­ton quick trans­for­ma­tions are still in
– Each Trans­former has a spe­cial abil­ity when trans­formed
– Can attack an enemy by div­ing at them and trans­form­ing next to them
– Starscream has a hover abil­ity
– Lame chauf­feur­ing Shia mission

Ama­zon have posted all of the Trans­form­ers 2 video games up for pre order, with a planned release on June 16th.

Plat­forms include Wii, Xbox 360, Playsta­tion 3, PSP, Win­dows Vista, Nin­tendo DS and PS2 — pretty much every­thing except the Mac.

Activi­sion have today offi­cially released the first teaser trailer for the new Revenge of the Fallen video game, the spe­cific one shown in the video is for PS3. Note how the Decep­ti­con logo trans­forms into the Revenge of the Fallen poster at the end, it’s pretty cheesy, but con­firm­ing the links between the poster and the Decep­ti­con icon that were high­lighted when the image was first released. There is no focus on any rec­og­niz­able new char­ac­ters in the trailer, how­ever we do see a speed­ing Audi R8 jump and trans­form from the rear into a shape that matches the toy, and we very briefly see Starscream shoot towards a skinny blue char­ac­ter (pos­si­bly Arcee?) as the Auto­bot logo obscures the view. There is also a lovely Opti­mus Prime/Peter Cullen voice over.

TLAMB also point out that the stray Decep­ti­con that Bum­ble­bee is fight­ing with appears to be an anti air­craft launch rocket sys­tem — very sim­i­lar to one seen on set at White Sands, New Mex­ico (images since removed).
