The launch trailer for the new maps and characters in the first wave of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen downloadable content gives an old bot fan happy little chills.

I actually watched the second Transformers movie last night for the first time, and I have to say...wow. The game is definitely better than the film, and while that's not saying much, hardcore fans should feel at least a little rewarded by this batch of new downloadable content. Is classic Starscream really able to wield classic Megatron as a pistol? If so, then that's all I've ever really wanted in a Transformers video game. As long as no one mentions the words "hive" or "hatchling" I'll be fine.
