Choose Your Free War for Cybertron Character Wisely
Assuming you’re still losing your shit over the apparent awesomeness of Activision’s Transformers: War for Cybertron game — I know I am — you have a difficult decision to make. There are three exclusive characters available for the game, but only if you pre-order the game from three different stores. If you pre-order at Amazon you get Jazz Demolishor, Best Buy you get Demolishor Jazz, and GameStop you get Shockwave. Actually, Shockwave is so goddamn sexy that it’s a pretty easy choice for me (and no, it doesn’t bother me in the slightest that he turns into a jet instead of a cannon) which is why I chose his video to show above, but here are videos for Jazz and Demolishor if you want to check out the competition. I think it’s safe to assume that all the characters will be available for download eventually, but there’s no reason not to get one of ’em for free.
