Not sure how this one flew under the radar since it was announced back in May.

Linky.

MMORPG.com interview with Kris Jones (Executive Producer)

Character customization is a big part of Transformers Universe and choosing both the side you fight on and the character you pick and customize is going to be crucial to your gaming experience. We are putting a lot of effort to making sure there is a real difference between fighting for the autobots or decepticons. They are inherently very different sides and character creation and customization is going to play a big part in that.

Other than that, not terribly much info at this time.

Isn't this very old news? I remember some sort of transformers MMO being announced several months back, beyond May.

They did a surprisingly good job with that last Transformers FPS, so fingers crossed I suppose.

Graphically, if it had the "big blob of pointy metal" look of Michael Bay's Transformers I wouldn't touch it but if it had the "looks like what they transform into" look of the cartoon I might give it a try.

looks like it will be set in the war for Cybertron / transformers prime universe if just going by the images on the first link. and not the micheal bay films.

I like the Transformers universe, and I also liked War for Cybertron, but... a Transformers MMO... I don't know, I have mixed feelings, but time will tell obviously. I'll keep an eye for it.

The first character generation screen should be a list of drop downs.
"Style combat" -> Ranged
"What do you want to change into" -> Toaster
"Allegiance" -> Decepticon

You pick a bunch of options, hit next and then it auto generates what your character looks like. That would be hilarious.

I'm curious to see how they handle the vehicle forms. Why would anyone pick a car over a jet or something else that flies?

I dunno... same reason some people pick tanks over jets in BF? It's really a matter of playstyles and balance. Yes it's hard to say it'll be properly balanced and we may see thousands of jets and no ground vehicles, but it could be balanced properly.

I was thinking more for travel purposes, though I guess they could just put "thrusters" or something on the ground vehicles.

On a Lonely Island somewhere...

"I'm on a boat, I'm on a boat... holy **** I'm on a transforming boat!"

I had to say, I'd rather be a gun... Megatron anyone? :p
