More On: Transformers: War for Cybertron
The roster for Transformers:War for Cybertron grew by two this week as they added Warpath and Barricade to the list of transforming robots you'll have at your disposal.  We're still a long way's off from the game's June 22nd launch so I'm guessing we'll see yet more additions by the time we're done.

Here's the full breakdown from Activision on our new mechanical friends.

WARPATH
Autobot
Class: Soldier
Chassis: Tank
Primary Weapon: Neutron Repeater
Abilities: Guided Missile, Barrier

Description: Warpath is loud, confident, skilled and devoted to his fellow Autobots. He is also partially deaf from his amazingly large cannon. His favorite past time is showing his friends how he can split a hex nut a mile and a half away with his tank gun. Extremely well armored to go along with his extreme stubbornness and thick skull, Warpath always loves to press the battle to the Decepticons.

BARRICADE
Decepticon
Class: Scout
Chassis: Car
Primary Weapon: Neutron Repeater
Abilities: Shockwave, Cloak

Description: Barricade is a true speed demon, powering his engine to speeds faster than some jets. He is a brutal leader on the battlefield, scolding Decepticons that do not perform up to his and Megatron’s standards. His favorite tactic is to goad Autobots into transforming and chasing him, then taking the Autobots on fatal routes that only he can navigate.
