London, UK – June 5, 2009 – Activision is recruiting gamers to join the battle for world domination in the Battle for the AllSpark V2 web game, launching today at www.TransformersGame.com, the official web site of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen video game, developed under license from Hasbro, Inc. Fans that answer the call can join the AUTOBOTS® or DECEPTICONS® and compete in real time challenges online against other players worldwide, for control of the AllSpark and the fate of the world.
