Not to sound offensive but this will suck much ass.

"Transformers, maximise!"

*plays for a bit*

"On second thought, minimise and exit!"

Haven't kept up with any of that stuff since I was in the single digits age-wise. I'm assuming Beast Wars was crap compared to the rest of the series? I wouldn't know (or remember, rather)

Oh dear, someone want's a slice of the MMO cake, and how on earth is there enough content within Transformers to produce a quality MMO?

Everything anime (cartoon) post 80s was dire. Truly dreadful.

The recent film was better. But like Star Wars, you really need to have let go of the past before you sit down and watch it. Prepare for the worst and you might be pleasantly surprised. The film and games have not been Jar Jar level. Only Midichlorian level.

Some how, no.

Not to mention Jagex will most likely bring over all the kids from Runescape.

I'm really chuffed and hope dearly it's not going to be ass. There's a huge lore within Transformers G1 and beyond to fill an MMO. The bots themselves already lend themselves to different classes\skillsets.

However, if it's based on the movies, it will be the worst thing ever.

The original report's for this game a few months ago was that it was an asia only game.

Plus its from a f2p developer who's only real game is runescape, Really doesn't say much for the game.

Evilsod · 15 Mar 2011 at 23:12
