Our own Djkevintron has dropped us an email with some interesting news. The preorder slips with mock up game cases for the upcoming Transformers Movie video game have now arrived at Ebgames and Gamesstop stores. Here is what Djkevintron wrote to us:

"Today 2/16/07 Ebgames/gamesstop stores in there new monthly marketing kit recieved preorder inserts for the up coming transformers the movie game for XB306, PS3, and Nintendo DS.
The inserts show the front cover being the eye over the earth poster with an RP(rating pending) rating in the lower left. The back of the inserts shows screens shots from the previous transformers game that was on ps2(yes even on the ds). All that is says on the back is for EBgames/Gamestop promotion use only.
I would have scaned them but its a grey area with company policy(sorry guys need the job).
There is no preorder sku listed yet in the EBgames/gamestop computer but sending the box art means there should be one in the next week or so. Fear not I will pass the preorder info on as soon as i have it!

Today at the Hasbro Preview at ToyFair we got to see a nice preview of the video game from Activision. Here are some items of interest:

- Game will be available on: Wii, XBox 360, PS3, and PS2.
- There will be an Autobot Game and a Decepticon Game for Nintendo DS, supporting 4 way multi-play.
- PSP gets a version of the game (maybe different from all), but with 4 way Multi-Play.
- Wii will get special Wiimote functions, such as throwing things, steering, etc.
- You can play as 9 Autobots and Decepticons. Unplayable characters are going to be boss characters or other important charcters.
- There will be unlockable characters and possibly movie characters that don't appear in the movie (like Wreckage).
- There will be G1 references in the game.
- It has a full interactive environment where you can pick things up and throw it at the enemy...including a Burger King sign.
- Burger King and Pepsi references were in the game, so we know they are sponsors.
- As the robot you can punch, shoot, jump, transform at will and drive/fly around when you are in vehicle mode.
- Autotargeting will be available.
- For game play, it reminded me of Grand Theft Auto, where you can run around the city (perspective was similar to GTA). The steering of the vehicle looked well done, where you could oversteer around turns, etc. If you caused too much ruckus the police would come and the pedestrians would go around screaming, especially if you were in Robot Mode (so being in disguise is important). Pedestrian interaction was not completed yet, but we were hoping you could pick up people and thrown them...jthat was ust our suggestion. The ability to use both modes via transforming was very effective because you could get away quick if you were getting beat bad.
- Graphics were very good and very fluid, even on preproduction. Audio track we heard was a generic one for pre-production, but final game will have the movie score. Possibly the voices will be the same as in the movie. Cut scenses are being rendered by a company called Blur (how ironic) that won many awards for game CGI.
- Storyline is different based upon if you are an Autobot or a Decepticon, humans are part of the story, but not part of the game play. Because of the dual roles the Decepticons can win in this one.
