More On: Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock
Did Activision save up all their Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock assets for today, or what? Today you’ll get an introduction to the characters, with screenshots and concept art for them below, as well as their transformation to new rock beings in the videos posted.

My favorite is probably Casey, because she tears her skin off to reveal the reptilian form beneath. Ultimately, though, Judy Nails comes out looking pretty nice with a half-succubus, half-Harley Quinn look.

You can also read on for a short bio and look at each character’s individual powers after the jump. 










Axel Steel: Determined to unearth the cryptic origins of Metal, Axel has toured long across the globe studying the ways of the ancients. But the ancients have plans for him as well…
Warrior Axel Steel: Axel emerges as an embodiment of the undying nature of rock. His music now guided by the wisdom of the ages, he wonders if this new power is a blessing or a curse.

Johnny Napalm: Johnny's energy is boundless, but unfocused and wild. Given a greater goal, though, he could bring his tempestuous nature to bear.
