Excellent.

Would've liked to see a Prowl/Grimlock over Scattershot. Same with Onslaught....

Onslught i can see fitting pretty well and it looks like they have done him justice.

Scattershot didn't look very Scattershot-ey. Grimlock as a War Within style Tank would hae been badass, especially as the bots only have one tank mould at present (altho i am assuiming this is what 'shot will be, and that 'slaught will leader class for similar reasons on the con side).

Ya know, I didnt even think about what class Scattershot would be, I just assumed jet, silly me. Going off of your assumption, I think a motion should be sent to Hasbro to add Grimlock.

What classes are Shockwave and Onslaught? I assumed leader and tank, respectively, my copy came with Jazz so I never bothered to look at those two.

is this just downloadable? because that looked like it would be purchaseable as well.

i had assumed it was just DL - in terms of size wouldn't seem worth putting on a disc or sending to stores but that could be my elitist x-box live view of the world.

Shockwave will be a scientist as he has the mad flying skillz.

Onslaught i am guessing leader, he wasn't a pre-order exclusive tho so not sure.

DLC is as it states,downloadable. Only time they issue a disk is for expansions. Guess you'll have to fix those internets.

Meant Demolisher not Onslaught. And Shockwave as a scientist is boo, curious if they're worried they'll confuse people if he was next to Soundwave. Ah well, suppose I cant complain too much, they did finally make an amazing TF game that wasnt based on some crap movie.

yeah Demolisher is soldier/tank class.

Think they painted themselves into a bit of a corner with Shockers as only scientists can fly.

edit, press release as follows;

--------

We are pleased to announce that the DLC pack will include the following:

§ Two brand new characters: Fan favorites SCATTERSHOT and ONSLAUGHT, whose named characters will be playable in Escalation mode and chassis will be accessible in traditional multiplayer

Finally more Escalation maps! Once you get the achievement for it, theres really no point in playing ever again, hopefully that will resurrect my interest.
