• It's like Gears of War, in that it's a third-person shooter.
• You will have A.I.-controlled 'bots assisting you during gameplay.
• You can play either as the Autobots or the Decepticons, natch.
• You can play as both land and air vehicles.
• There will be some kind of online mode.
• Optimus will be a red truck, but Megatron will be a tank -- I assume so that he's actually worth playing. You can see Soundwave, Ironhide and Blitzwing above.
Head off to The Allspark for a few more details on how a few of the Transformers will look. Meanwhile, I'll be back here, pleased as punch. I love it when beloved nerd properties get their due, and I'm shocked there aren't more. Think about; Batman has almost always had a movie game, but the first really good game based on the character alone was Batman: Arkham Asylum. There are enough nerds that will happily buy a game based on Transformers, G.I. Joe, Batman, Avengers, whatever, that these companies don't need to wait for a movie tie-in. And frankly, without trying to force a game around a set movie narrative, these game have at least the possibility of being truer to their subjects, if not outright better.
