More Playable Characters Revealed
for Transformers: War for Cybertron
Activision has revealed the next two
playable characters – WARPATH and BARRICADE – for Transformers: War for
Cybertron on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
WARPATH
Autobot
Class: Soldier
Chassis: Tank
Primary Weapon: Neutron Repeater
Abilities: Guided Missile, Barrier
Description: Warpath is loud,
confident, skilled and devoted to his fellow Autobots. He is also partially deaf
from his amazingly large cannon. His favorite past time is showing his friends
how he can split a hex nut a mile and a half away with his tank gun. Extremely
well armored to go along with his extreme stubbornness and thick skull, Warpath
always loves to press the battle to the Decepticons.
BARRICADE
Decepticon
Class: Scout
Chassis: Car
Primary Weapon: Neutron Repeater
Abilities: Shockwave, Cloak
Description: Barricade is a true
speed demon, powering his engine to speeds faster than some jets. He is a brutal
leader on the battlefield, scolding Decepticons that do not perform up to his
and Megatron’s standards. His favorite tactic is to goad Autobots into
transforming and chasing him, then taking the Autobots on fatal routes that only
he can navigate.
