Luxoflux has revealed that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be getting a downloadable expansion pack, one that contains a few items that could have rescued the game from a cruel 4.5 review on Destructoid. Chief among the additions is Starscream as he was always meant to be -- appearing in his glorious Generation 1 form.
G1 Starscream is but one of ten brand new characters that the pack is adding. A number of new characters will also be available for single-player as well as the multiplayer modes. Speaking of multiplayer, there will be three new maps to keep things spicy. As if that wasn't enough, there will be a new Expert difficulty level, new leaderboard challenges and even new Achievements/Trophies.
No word on a price yet, but I'm legitimately impressed by the wealth of content being made available, considering this is a licensed games, and such titles are often made to be forgotten. The simple inclusion of G1 Starscream is enough to make me happy ... I love Starscream more than my own wife.

hmm...
I've wanted a G1 Star Scream to play with since I was a kid. The question is, will StarScream's ghost DLC be following?
Starscream sucked in RotF. Just chilling in space... you wouldn't even have known it was him had he not said it in the first minute.
I'm thinking of Soundwave
nevermind.
Starscream was a pussy though.
Cause, that Starscream is making me kind of hot<3
Because the new ones are SPACESHIPS and XTREMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
It's funny that every Transformer had cybertronian designs in the first episode of G1, and then the creators decided to have them come to Earth and mimic real life vehicles to familiarize them more with the audience (oh, and because the toy designs were easier to make).
Michael Bay, what hath you wrought!
Is that so much to ask?
However, modernized old-style Starscream = WIN. That is some cool shit.
I still look at it like it's school, and a 65 is passing. A 45 is failing and failing hard.
a few things...
Starscream is a pussy. That's his character.
The designs are actually better in htis movie, because the designers where influenced A LOT by TF:Animated (instead of tall lanky robots, more bulbous, defined shapes, colors, etc).
Basterdizing classic Characters??? You must have been asleep for the past 20 years, because, with that logic, they've bastadized the designs in every show that wasn't g1. Look at Movieverse as another adaption, much like Beastwars, RID, Unicron Saga, etc.
@Jim. Way to go bro, I'm glad you've finally got off the TF Hate Train. And I love the quote. Is it bad that I actually read that in Leonard Nemoy's voice?
Coronation Starscream? This is more like a bad comedy.
