Confirmed features (with my commentary):
* The game is a 3rd person shooter, with gameplay like Gears of War. So what... Roadie Run? Cover system? Free fire restrictions? What of Gears does it transplant? This is a vague line.
* Cover can be destroyed, fully destructable environments. Cool.
* The backgrounds and backdrops will not be static. (Things will happen in the NPC world, such as energon being transported, machinery working, maybe even cameos). This should be interesting considering the whole destructible environments thing.
* Story missions and Co-op are confirmed--a team of at least three other characters is confirmed. There will also be both multiplayer and single player modes. Co-op never hurts, always helps.
* Three vehicle classes: Tanks, Jets and another unmentioned class. Depending on the classes and your abilities, the levels will be multi-tiered and have different paths. For jets, this means multiple vertical levels to explore. Cool.
* All characters have two different time-based skills (e.g. Shield, invisibility, teleport, etc.). From RotF's engine, eh? It worked well in that game.
* Storyline is one story broken into two interlocking parts, Decepticon Campaign (first half) and the Autobot Campaign(last half). It is an origin story. Pretty sure people are going to bitch about not being able to choose either campaign from the jump. Could help story, though.
* Second level is set to explain Starscream and Megatron's relationship. (The first level was previously confirmed as being the tale of the first meeting of Megatron and Starscream). This I gotta see.
* Many of the G1 actors are coming back to reprise their original roles. A formal announcement will be made at a later date in 2010; however, Peter Cullen is confirmed as Optimus Prime. Fucking awesome.
* Hasbro has said this game is canon. This is a bad idea, but whatever.
