Play Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Multiplayer on July 31

A meaty Transformers: Fall of Cybertron demo arrives on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network on July 31, showcasing two single-player missions, competitive multiplayer, and the extensive character customization.

In the past, IGN has covered the impressive campaign and chaotic co-op. We even dug into the adversarial multiplayer, but we've only played with the Autobot/Decepticon cosmetic options lightly. Before you check out the demo for yourself, take a look at what your ideal Transformer -- Dinbobot, Insecticon, or otherwise -- could look like in our video below.

If you're not sick of retailer-specific swag yet, pre-ordering Fall of Cybertron at GameStop earns Power Up Rewards members early access to the demo on July 27th.

Those who aren't in the rewards program and want pre-pay bonuses can still score themselves the G1 Retro Pack. This add-on bundle includes extra cosmetic items for character customization, weapons inspired by the original animated series, and this pretty spectacular throwback skin for Optimus Prime:

Sorry, PC players -- there's no demo on the way for you just yet, but the full game releases alongside the console versions on August 21st.

When you've had a chance to check out the demo, be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments below. Until then, let us know what you make of what's included.
