For PS3, is it pretty safe buying with a credit card from PSN? Or is it a fiasco like with 360? I'd rather not get a $20 PSN card from a store since I only need $10 for the DLC.
It's super easy. You save your credit card number and whenever you buy something it just charges the exact amount.

Can you not save it? Because on 360, it's like once you put your card on there, you can't take it off unless you jump through some hoops and it's a whole load of crap.

Edit: NightSlyr, where do you see the connective pieces when not combined?
I found them, I think, by following a link in the comments. It may have been in the comments for one of the specific Dinobots (most likely Grimlok). The connective pieces become Wheelie's fortress. Some of it looks off - he couldn't find a way to hide the hands from looking like hands - but overall it was a clever solution to the old "what do I do with the extra bits?" problem.
Oh yeah, the fortress transforms, too....
If I had $$, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. It's thematically on point, looks great, and embodies how I saw G1 as a kid. Every part of it has a purpose, it looks to be brilliantly engineered... I just can't stop looking at it.

Found it. Wow. Even the connective pieces have an altmode.
Trying out a new build recently for my scientist. Calling him Ramjet, and I'm sure some of you can guess how I use him based off his name. Currently lvl 14.
Primary- EMP Shotgun
Secondary- Photon Burst Rifle
Shockwave
Disguise
Energon Storm
Master of Disguise
Weapon Stabilizer
I have been tearing people apart with this build over the last two days, almost always end up 1st or 2nd on my team, and the exp. is really coming in good, even if my K/D ain't that good. (think its the points for double agent that are really doin it for me) I feel like an ass when someone who needs health stops in front of me, expecting heals, and I just ditch him. but oh well, healing is Dr. Horrible's job. What are some of your favorite builds on your classes?

Probably my favourite class is my Scout class called 'Fischer'
Scatter Blaster/Null Ray
Cloaking/Mark Target
Ghost/Surprise Attack/Weapon Stabalizer
Nothing quite like scaring the shit out of an enemy by coming out of cloak with the Scatter Blaster firing away.
I understand your complaint, but I find it a rather elegant solution. I mean, in the G1 cartoon, you never saw Starscream with those giant tail fins on his feet, right? So it would've been weird to have them attached like that. Ultimately, both approaches result in an inaccurate cartoon model, but at least this one doesn't just resemble the 1984 toy.
And it doesn't really strike me as a "skirt." I read somewhere that the Takara designer meant for them to be reminiscent of two swords hanging from the waist, like a samurai. It works for me. *shrug*
Hey I picked this game up on Amazon's sale the other day.
Jesus fuck is it hard. I'm doing the campaign on Medium and I die so often. I'm not even sure I get the point of a melee attack in this context because it winds up costing me a ton of health just do it.
So happy about the DLC. Transformers has become my go to multiplayer title.
Yeah, I totally get that. It may completely ape the leveling and perk system from Call of Duty, but I actually have fun playing this online, whereas MW2 is an exercise in frustration.

It's not hard as long as you're willing to play it 'lame'. You aren't going to be melee'ing shit. Most active abilities are pointless (best ones are buffs, shields, and dash IMO... whirlwind blows because you'll take too much damage).
Weapon choice should be long range. Snipers, 3 shot rifles, etc. Avoid shotguns/rockets. Then just play it lame and be as far back as possible and pick things off. I beat it solo on hard doing this mostly.

Don't be shy about transforming. A lot of the boss battles are designed around the fact that you can become a vehicle almost instantly. Figure transforming into your strategy as much as cover or weapon selection, and you will become more effective and have more fun too.
There are some rooms that are just murder regardless of your strategy. I had serious problems with the room where there's a giant megatron head-display pillar and hordes of generics and flyers spawn.
Quick update: Looks like the initial report that the XBL pack would be hitting a day later was false. The pack will be available for both systems on 7/27. OP has been updated.

When you're playing the Megatron missions and you're Megatron, use drain. Seriously. That is the life-saving ability for him.
I was hoping for info for the PC version, I still have it in my wishlist. If Activision isn't going to let High Moon just patch it in since they can't charge since they only allowed HM to do a basic port that didn't accommodate DLC, there isn't much point to me getting it then. =\

Yes there is.
It's a fun game that has a startling amount of depth in multiplayer! It's just never going to be patched, updated, or expanded upon. I'm seriously hoping for a PC mod community.
Fuck Bobby Kotick. I'm almost hoping Starcraft II loses them a ton of money, just because if Activistion can fuck that up, maybe they'll fire the douche. Except it would probably be blamed on Blizzard, so never mind.

There is no conceivable way Starcraft II will lose money. A Blizzard exec could take a shit in a box, call it a Zergling, and sell 400 hojillion copies.
I'm liking Onslaught's design quite a bit, might have to switch from Soundwave's Chassis occasionally. I also enjoy how they just took Brawl's scene from Chapter III and pasted Scattershot's skin over it, so he's actually slaughtering other Autobots. Though I do find it depressing that Shockwave looks so badass, since his skill set is so utterly terrible in Escalation.
I also really hope a patch is released at the same time as the DLC to fix some of the various bugs and issues.
He's a Scout. He's my favorite of the 3 Autobot choices for my multiplayer chassis.

The new characters look awesome. I feel like I almost owe it to them to get this DLC, since I got the game for 25 bucks with the sale at gamestop, my edge card, and the 25% extra trade in credit I got from trading a game in towards it.

Yeah I'm pretty excited to get the new chassis, but 2 more multi maps will be very nice to see also. If they're good.
I like pretty much all the multi maps though, except for Streets. Well, Streets is alright in TDM, but it's awful in Conquest.

I'm not really interested in multiplayer, so I'll probably pass on the DLC. Shame there isn't a special "bonus" mode where you could run through the SP campaign as other characters.

Hmmm. Yeah, I could see that working...maybe replacing one character per mission with one character from the DLC. Onslaught instead of Brawl for the first Con mission (he's not a soldier, but whateves), say Shockwave instead of Thundercracker for the second, and so on. It would require new voice acting, of course...

EDIT: I mention it as a bonus mode so they wouldn't need to change voice acting or cutscenes or whatnot. Just either turn them off or not worry about it at all.
However, if they make a sequel, I think being able to modify your roster in SP should be a must. It'd require more work, but RPG's get away with it all the time.
Finally got my first class up 25 (scientist). 10 to go in both leader and soldier, then 12 in scout. New maps should make that less of a grind.

Made level 20 in Soldier. I'm starting to get the hang of the Neutron Assault Rifle, as well as getting more comfortable in melee. I'm even learning to handle characters with Warcry on them. Scouts are still my bane, though.
I have 0 levels in other classes, though. So that'll be fun when I max out Soldier.
(I decided to take them in order of difficulty. I started as Soldier because that's just standard run/gun/smash. I was a pretty good sniper in UT, so I think I'll probably be Scout next. Then Leader, because it's a bit like the Soldier, but with a conditional "I Win" button. And finally the Scientist, which I understand is the hardest class to play right.)

So I joined into an active Conquest game, capture Point A by myself, and notice Point B is being contested back and forth so I roll in with my Soldier blasting shit and throwing grenades, kill a couple enemies, and then I get a message saying "boosting, knock it off"
Man, fuck that. Both teams, all of them were just boosting, each capturing the point back and forth. So goddamn annoying, I harassed them for awhile. It sucked, because I would quit, but the servers would keep tossing me back into that game.

Yes, he unleashes this orange energy beam that drains health from all enemies within range. And IIRC, you can still kill people with your weapons.
Yes there is.
