The next weekly update from the Transformers Game Facebook page is here, this time with the short bio and action pose for Soundwave. As usual, the profile gives us a taste of what players will be up against in one of the game’s many boss fights. Going by his description, Soundwave will likely be a great challenge for many as he has quite an arsenal at his disposal. Said arsenal will include the use of his cassettes and barrages of sound pulses as well as plenty of missiles and various energy blasts that will be hard to get around. He may be an unchrasamatic bore, but Soundwave will have firepower than rivals even Grimlock’s power of fire and is a force to be reckoned with.
Transformers: Devastation is slated for release on October 6th this year and is available for pre-order (bonus skins included) for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC (now available for pre-purchase on Steam).

It is. Decepticons are not playable

You'll get over it.
Any confirmation on which characters will be playable? I hope its not solely Autobots.

Wheeljack has been confirmed to be voiced by a guy named (not kidding here) Christopher Swindle.
Starscream hasn't been confirmed yet but it almost sounds like it's Scott Whyte (Fizzie, WFC Jazz, Hardshell in Rise of the Dark Spark).

Feels like my preorder was 10years ago lol tired of watching 100 videos, they need to release this already!

I think people are overreacting. This isn't even the full game, it's just a few seconds of trailer footage. Can we at least wait until the game is released before we whine about this?
Okay, my bad.

I wouldn't be too worried about Soundwave's voice being quiet and mumbly. That's a problem with the sound mixing, not with the voice acting. It's plain as day that the music in that teaser was very loud. I think it sounds exactly like the vocoder is at the G1 settings.
Do we have a cast list of who's voicing whom? I know Megatron, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Sideswipe, and Optimus Prime have the G1 actors. I'm rather curious who plays characters whose voice actors have passed away, though, like Wheeljack and Starscream.

Nah Frank can still do Soundwave. He did so in the Movies and in Prime.
It's because of this, he sounds so quite. It cancels out his voice entirely.
I would assume it is, I mean it'd be a waste to get Frank to come back and not have him do both Megatron and Soundwave?
FanimusMaximus
I seriously had no idea what he was saying.

Starscream will always sound different from G1 no matter what you do, because Chris Latta is dead.

Like Starscream, his voice sounds… a bit off. At least you could hear Starscream I suppose.

They did. The vocoder smoothens the growling:

The vocoder likely wasn't set right, making him sound like he's whispering.
So that with loud music, it's not really surprising why it's hard to hear him.
Marvel productions.
Sunbow just approved episodes and told Marvel staff what to feature in stories. Everything else: storyboard, scripts, designs, music, voices, sound effects… all Marvel productions.
(Honestly, it's about time Marvel productions starts to get proper credit. The way many talk, it makes it look like they haven't done a single thing and yet, as pointed out, they did most of the work)

Soundwave SUPERIOR!
Illmatic
I just wish you could play as Soundwave. When I was a kid I always wanted to be Soundwave. So much in fact that I recall going to bed at night saying in my prayers (about 3 to 4 yrs old) that I wanted to: 1 – Meet an real life alien like E.T., 2 – Become a robot like Soundwave, and if that wasn't possible at least have a voice like him. I was a funny kid!

I wish they would use Welker's "Dr Claw" growl for the base of Soundwave's flanged voice. Without it, the result is an indiscernable mess. I havn't hard a good rpduction of his voice since G1…

When did Starscream speak!? Did I miss it?

What the hell is wrong with Soundwave's voice? I can barely hear what he's saying! With him and Starscream having two of the most iconic voices in the show, I'm frustrated that this game screws them both up.
