Seibertron.com's Dragonslayer has reported that
Yahoo! Movies have put up a new trailer for the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen game.
The game trailer is effectively split in two, with the first half dedicated to encouraging the player to "unite, protect, and defend" with a heavy focus on the Autobots returning from the first film.
The trailer then proceeds to highlight the Decepticon traits of "enslave, punish, and destroy". returning Decepticons Blackout and Starscream are the main Decepticons highlighted in the trailer, but many new Decepticons are also briefly glanced, including Devastator.
In game transformations, battle and action sequences are all shown, for both Autobot and Decepticons alike, and there is even a sound grab in between the Autobot and Decepticon trailers that could be an indicator of what is to come for a new character in the sequel.
While it is not stated which console version the game trailer is for, going off the
Game Fact Sheets and gameplay footage, it would be safe to assume that this trailer relates to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.
