Kinda figured one of the Aerialbots would be in there. Besides Powerglide, there aren't really a whole lot of fast air fliers and in the balance there would have to be at least SOME Autobot top cover.
Grimlock though, kind of a new brainer.

I've got it ordered for the PC, just not sure how many people will be multiplaying it. I could buy stuff on xbox, but the $20 price saved, plus the better graphics, plus the modular control scheme (if I want to use an xbox controller, I do. If I want to KB&M, I do) makes me buy virtually any game on the PC if given the option.

You mean a "no brainer?"
If so, you still get cred for the G1 reference through typo, though.

Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.
No, they picked the right Aerialbot/Stunticon. Air Raid is the only Aerialbot who's not a wimp and Breakdown is a goddamn Lambo. Well, not in this game obviously, but you get my point.
Is Grimlock for any preorders, or a specific retailer?

General info and single player details:
-War For Cybertron takes place on Cybertron - Decepticon faction pursues order at any cost, Autobots freedom and personal expression
-Creates new canon - like the first time Bumblebee and Optimus meet
-Story told in two compaigns; Autobot and Decepticon. Decepticon is prequel to Autobot campaign
-Both campaigns have three-player drop-in/drop-out co-op with three-character pool
-For single player, remaining robots are AI
-Demo shown to Game Informer included Optimus, Bumblebee and Ratchet
-Each character has distinct abilities, two for robot, one for vehicle.
-One of the two robot abilities is consumable - requiring collection of energon shards to replenish.
-The other robot ability has a cooldown timer.
-The vehicle mode ability recharges differently depending on the robot.
-Optimus' abilities are Warcry, Dash and Ram
-Warcry is consumable - increases offense and defense abilities of Optimus and characters around him.
-Dash is cooldown - quick movement for extra maneuverability
-Ram is vehicle ability - burst of speed that inflicts heavy damage on opponents.
-Demo took place in Iacon, Optimus learns of Zeta Prime's defeat and decides to take temporary leadership.
-Objectives are to get defensive weapons back online to hold off Decepticons
-Health regen, weapon swapping, contextual cover systems feel like Gears of War
-Next, player gets trapped in a circular arena with a Decepticon War Machine.
-Player avoids a continuously advancing laser while targeting weak points on the machine.
Multiplayer details:
-Five-on-five battles or a 10-player free for all.
-Customize your own player - decide between Scout, Leader, Scientist, or Soldier.
-Alt mode varies depending on each class - cars, trucks, jets or tanks, respectively
-Can pick your own chassis, colors, and name. There are multiple chassis for each class.
-You also pick a custom weapon, two special abilities based on your class type, and upgrades.
-There are three upgrade slots, each can hold six offensive, defensive and "general" aids.
-Offensive and Defensive aids are specific to class type, and general upgrades are available for all classes.
-Example, scout class upgrade may be speed, with a general upgrade of reduced recoil.
-Call of Duty-like rewards system unlocks upgrades and new abilities.
-Game modes: Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Power Struggle (Capture the Flag), Code of Power (2 1/2 minute rounds where teams fight for a giant melee weapon).
-More multiplayer modes to be announced soon.

Still, Gears of War hits that perfect (for me) spot between "Hide behind cover or you will die in one shot" and "rush straight at the enemy 'cause you can kill 50 of them before needing to pick up a medkit" so any game that manages to replicate that gets my interest.
So since this is nothing more than another method to sell toys, the new toyline that's based off the game is looking pretty sweet.
As far as I know, there's only two WfC toys planned (Bumblebee and Prime) and they're both being made for the "Random Grabbag of TF characters throughout history" toyline.
EDIT: Also, two more characters have been added: Ironhide and Skywarp. Sadly skywarp seems only able to turn invisible rather than teleport. I guess it's for balance reasons.

Me, maybe?
I mean, if it's moddable I am sure someone will mod the sounds to be G1 and add skins and junk and that is worth playing on PC to me

And very yes about Grimlock being in!

If this is old I apologize.
Blue (with red lighting), probably smart (but sounds dumb), and undoubtedly tank.

Shockwave is for Gamestop, Demolishor is for Amazon. They're multiplayer only characters.
Everyone else should be in the story for everyone. Maybe not playable, but will be there.

Also, will he wear an apron and serve drinks
No, he's gonna be an in-game character for the autobot mission.
The only pre-order characters announced so far are Shockwave at Gamestop and Demolisher on Amazon.
Otherwise why would you preorder it anywhere other than where they hand out Grimlock.
No but I hear you get a Calculus With Grimlock DVD.

The multiplayer sounds interesting
A cover system is a bit unexpected but I suppose it makes sense
I'm getting excited for this!
