• (God! I hope this didn't double post again!!!!) I would LOVE to play either a predicon or a maximal! Beast Wars forever! As for the rest of the game, if it has the customization of something like, say City of Heroes, then I think the game will be a blast to play if for no other reason then who wouldn't want to create their own transformer! If I can decide what my robot mode looks like, and what I transform into (plane, car, monkey, toaster, etc…), then I could see myself getting into this in a huge way. But if that level of customization is not present… and everyone ends up looking like Bumblebee (of varying colors), then fuck it.

• It better be called Cybertronline.

• Oh, what a shame, I forgot that true purists won't accept CG Transformers IN A VIDEO GAME. XD

• Eh, who cares? The world is gonna end 2012 anyway! Go on and make your crappy game, Jaggy! BRING. IT. AAAAAWWWWWWNNNN!!!

• Based on the CGI Transformers Prime. WHAT is that you say? Exactly!

• BLASPHEMY!

• ^ It's probably actually going to be a lot like that. Hasbro is heavily pimping the Prime continuity, which (weirdly and somewhat non-sensically) includes War for Cybertron. In general, all the stuff from Hasbro lately that's not a tie-in with the movies has tasted a lot like G1 (and this only surprises the people who pay no attention to the brand). Did you notice the bunch of neo-G1 figures that we have been hit with lately? That's what Hasbro/Takara totally wishes they could do all the time. The "Bayformers" are probably going out with a bang with DotM. Hasbro shows every indication of wanting to focus on the Prime and neo-G1 stuff now as their long-term strategy. I think DotM will have to do surprisingly well for a fourth live action movie to be fast-tracked, and Bay probably wouldn't stick around for it.

• Transformers could have made for an awesome MMO if it were set on Cybertron using G1 continuity. You'd have an excuse to have a planet crawling with unique robots (and blatant rip-offs of originals) running around in a setting that's been developed to the point that it's easy to derive quests and campaigns. AND there'd be millions of people already familiar with it to varying degrees and more likely to be interested in it. Now? Not so much.

• They don't announce games the day they start working on them, this goes with ANY game. The next Grand Theft Auto hasn't been formally annouced but you think they are sitting there twiddling their thumbs? It's likely to have had many meetings, licences agreement talks, internal alpha demos before everyone was satisfied and decided it was time to announce. Silly boy!

• how can this not be exactly like every other mmo that has ever existed? you know...pay a monthly fee to run around repetitively killing and fetching stuff, on occasion interacting with other people? given a refresher course on dsgm and a 3 month vacation from my kids and job I could probably turn out a 2d mmo that comparable in co ntent quality to half of these snooze-fests. over a year for a professional studio? that's more than enough time to churn out a ps2 graphics quality kill-fetch quest.

• Runescape looks and plays like Balls. So I have zero expectations for this.

• will they feature the ride up Potimus's ass? is one of the unlockable achievements a portrait in the ass?

• Its not based on Bayformers. Its supposed to be set in the Prime universe.

• Awwwwwww... I still play Runescape...

• Can I make an SDF-1 transformer? You know wipe out fleets and such? No? Ah a man can dream right.

• As long as I can play a Maximal or Predicon, I'm OK with this.

• Well I'll be slagged. =\

• I am a huge MMO fan and a huge Transformers fan but I can't say that I am at all interested in a Transformers MMO. Some things go together like peanut butter and chocolate. I think Trandformers and MMOs go together more like peanut butter and pickles. Its not for everyone and even for the people who like it I don't see how it is something they would want everyday. Although I am curious to see what kind of female transformer character customization options there are.
