Activision has announced that it will be releasing a TRANSFORMERS PRIME video game this fall.
Based on the hit animated television show produced by Hasbro Studios and currently airing on The Hub television network in the U.S., the game lets fans play as their favorite Autobot characters and embark on an adventure to save the earth from the evil Megatron and his new secret weapon.
Players will have the ability to play as Optius Prime, Bumblebee, Arcee, Ratchet, Bulkhead and more. Gamers will also meet Jack, Miko and Raf — the human characters from the show — as Team Prime sets out to protect mankind and eliminate the Decepticons once and for all.
"Hasbro Studios has done a phenomenal job with the TRANSFORMERS PRIME television show," said David Oxford, Executive Vice President at Activision Publishing. "We are collaborating closely with the series creators to capture all the adventure, humor and friendships from the show to create an authentic action experience for TRANSFORMERS fans of all ages to enjoy."
"Hasbro is thrilled to be working with Activision again on an exciting new TRANSFORMERS video game," said Mark Blecher, Senior Vice President of Digital Media and Marketing at Hasbro. "The TRANSFORMERS PRIME animated series has resonated strongly with kids and fans and we're looking forward to delivering this new way to experience the adventure."
Transformers Prime will hit stores later this year and is being developed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system by Now Production (NowPro), and for the Nintendo DS hand-held system by Altron Corporation.
The game has not yet been rated by the ESRB.
