While not able to fully control Metroplex, players will be able to control the giant behemoth Autobot in Transformers Fall of Cybertron with squad-like commands using Optimus Prime.
In an interview with GT.TV, Game Director Matt "Tieg" Tieger reveals that Metroplex can be directed when the player is controlling Optimus Prime and he says that he will be "at your beck and call."
In gameplay video of the character, the player jumps and whips onto a ledge and is pulled ot the platform (think Hook Shot in the The Legend of Zelda games).
The character will also have a sniper rifle.
He will be able to combine with Bruticus, which you will be able to control.
Bruticus has a flamethrower, Vortex's helicopter blades will be used as a shield, and he can stomp.
Be sure to check out the gameplay videos in the first and second parts to catch interviews with Mr. Tieger and never-before-seen gameplayer videos.
