You may initially be taken aback by Activision’s latestTransformers: Fall of Cybertronannouncement whereby confirming threedifferentstore exclusive pre-order bonuses for the upcoming game. But I’m sure you’ll quickly come to terms with this because: 1) it seems to be common practice with some publishers and 2) Activision did something like this withWar for Cybertron.
Pre-orderingfrom GameStopwill give you access to the G1 Optimus Prime, along with G1-inspired weapons; if you’re from the UK, pre-orderingfrom GAMEyields the same bonus. If you decide to go with Play.com, you’ll get a pretty awesome looking Swoop character for use in multiplayer.
Your final option is to side with independent retailers such asShopTowhich will give you an unlock code for a single player G2 Bruticus skin.
If anything, this move is just going to confuse those who are planning to pre-order the game as they’ll now need to go looking for the bonus that best suits them thus, once again, dividing the fanbase.
