Transformers game details

I'm pretty sure the Michael Bay Transformers movie is going to rock, and Activision has finally revealed some details on the game tie-in.

It's not the RPG I said needs to be made, but it is being made by Traveller's Tales, the geniuses behind the LEGO Star Wars franchise.

The game'll be out this summer (as will the film), will ship on PC, PS2, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360, and though the Autobot compaign will closely mirror the film, the Decepticon campaign "puts a spin on some of the critical moments in the film", according to producer Andy Burrows.

Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Bumblebee, and Ironhide at least are among the playable Transformers, each has their own set of special skills/abilities, they will transform (which will "be as intuitive and as useful as a punch, a run or a jump"), environments are fully destructible , and combat mechanics are affected by scale and weight (and include ranged and melee combat).

Even cooler, in addition to the movie robots, Traveller's Tales makes sure to "pay homage to some popular G1 stars throughout the game."
