Activision, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATVI), Santa Monica, Calif., is recruiting gamers to join the battle for world domination in the Battle for the AllSpark V2 web game, available to play now at www.TransformersGame.com, the official web site of the Transformers(TM): Revenge of the Fallen video game, developed under license from Hasbro, Inc. Fans that answer the call can join the AUTOBOTS(R) or DECEPTICONS(R) and compete in real time challenges online against other players worldwide for control of the AllSpark and the fate of the world.

Players create their very own TRANSFORMERS character, customizing the character to suit their play style. Players then battle online in this game of strategy, choosing from a number of attacks and defenses in real time, round-by-round combat. In addition, secret codes that allow players to upgrade their characters will be hidden online.

"The Battle for the AllSpark V2 delivers even more challenges and fun than before for our ever-growing and fervent TRANSFORMERS gaming community that spawned in 2007 - we are thrilled to invite fans to join the battle again and immerse themselves in the universe prior to the official Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen game launch on June 23," said Rob Kostich, head of marketing for licensed properties, Activision Publishing, Inc. "In Battle for the AllSpark V2, players can play as an AUTOBOT or a DECEPTICON, picking their favorite character and customizing their abilities on their way to global domination online."
