A listing has just appeared on the Xbox Live Marketplace revealing an upcoming downloadable content (DLC) pack for Transformers War for Cybertron.
The title of the DLC is Map and Character Pack #1 totaling in at 377 MB. The details of the listing read as such:
Become the ultimate weapon and wage war in four new maps – engage in multiplayer combat in HAVOC and FORTRESS or fend off waves of Autobots in DISTRICT, and Decepticons in FORSAKEN, two new Escalation mode maps. Also gain access to 5 characters and their chassis for use in Escalation mode and Multiplayer character creation; SCATTERSHOT, ONSLAUGHT, DEMOLISHOR, SHOCKWAVE and JAZZ are ready for battle. Fight to the end in the war that started it all!Since this has leaked early there is not a proper release date or price listed for this item, but keep it at TFW2005 and we will let you know as soon as we find out more!

Serious… yet not.
I knew there would be a DLC as soon as I saw the Scattershot in the credits. I mean they had a model… but not in the game. My reactions was literally, "Oh, I get it that will be DLC along with the pre-orders!" I mean come on we all got tricked by the Oooooh!! Shockwave and Jazz!!… but who was the true king? DEMOLISHER!! (ammo beacon in escalation is godly, enough said.)
Oh and "ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER!!!"
Poho
so is 0001 before or after 2012?

I'm just hoping that they release it for PC somehow and not through Games for Windows Live, that site is just downright evil.
fabexmax
nah…. I think its fair to laugh at this.

I hate to say I told you so. I was going to check the marketplace yesterday as well.

Seems the link was removed.

The way some of these board members (and a mod) are acting is very disappointing. You want to put down people who payed a lot of money for something they really wanted, but you're the same people who would go out and buy a hunk of plastic that really has no more value to people who don't buy Transformers. Very hypocritical on your part guys. You should be ashamed. Be happy you didnt spend the money on them, but do not belittle those who did.

boo
point is the more skins I have= more variety = me happy even more so
by the way:
Game Stop did not take anyone's money….what ever you pre-paid went to the overall price of the game…..it subtracted from the sum result

Oh, man this is great! I just hope this comes to the Playstation Network, I'd really like to have Shockwave and Onslaught. I'm not a fan of the soldier class, so I'm not sure when I'd ever play as Demolishor or Scattershot, and I already have Jazz from buying at Best Buy, but I'm excited about the maps.
I hope this isn't too expensive though. I'm not sure how much I'll be willing to pay for this.
As for the people calling other members douches, I don't see it like that at all. Yeah, they dropped the money for the extra characters, and we didn't, and now we're all being offered DLC that is a great deal for us, and bad for the guys that paid for all of those characters, but how are they stupid? Nobody knew there was going to be DLC. Some assumed, and didn't spend their money for that reason, but nobody knew.
What gives us the right to talk down to them? We got lucky, there's nothing more to it.

Amen – experienced a little of that when EverCrack (Quest) came out ages ago. After a couple of time of buying some ingame gold for real-life $, I stopped. Dark Age of Camelot is same, eventually WOW was gonna go that way too.
Part of the reason I stopped playing – those games are fun, but casual players, or those w/ a life outside their computers (y'know – ADULTS that work & want to have successful relationships w/ SOs & their kids), get screwed in the long term – we just can't keep up w/ the non-stop players that have a L80 in less than a week.

But they're not new even if you didn't pre-order. No matter what way you justify it. Shockwave, Demolisher and Jazz are already out. Some are pre order exclusive, and Jazz was for buying it at Best Buy. They're being made available now for the public but they are not new. Onslaught and Scattorshot are new.
Red Alert
Where are you seeing 2 characters?
I see 5
Dinoman96
Well actually, if you preordered from somewhere, it'd be four new characters. If you didn't preorder at all, than all the characters in the pack are new.
Though if there was someone out there who managed to get all the preorder characters, then yeah, only two new characters.
Digilaut
Can't say I'm surprised. Might pick up the DLC if I ever decide playing the multiplayer.
Chrono Grimlock
It's not going to be more than 800 MS points. Since it's only 2 "new" characters and a couple maps, it should be 560.
Ezilla82
Thanks. So now the waiting game begins.

A lot of people get confused regarding Kup, but no, he's not playable in the DS game. You see his portrait for one sentence in the tutorial and htat's it. He doesn't even have a character model.
NCStarscream
I knew they'd do this. Yay for not giving money to GameStop!
Thundershot
I'm the opposite… I'm sitting here thinking "Man, I wish I HAD sold my Demolishor code…"
