Transformers MMO?

Wouldnt a mmo based on the Transformers be cool. Certainly would be different. Would make up for some great pvp action as well. As well it wouldnt involve elves and fairy's. So what you think?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't RFO a mech MMOG? Wouldn't that be considered a transformers MMOG?

    nope, its not. RFO has one race, the bellato which has one class that can drive in mechs. they also have a cyborg race, but they aren't really mechs heh.

    A transformers game would probably end up like COH/COV.  An excellent customization character creator that is so much fun, it makes the rest of the game seem like it fails to deliver any other content.

    Yes. Further words fail me. Provided the following:

    1) We are referring here to Transformers, not the CG/anime mockeries that have sprung up in this benighted and accursed generation. A desecration for which a nameless faceless group of marketers, animators, and producers will be cast into the deepest pits of hell for an eternity of suffering. Etc.

    2) Actually I think that was my only precondition.

    Seriously if someone tried to spring some kind of minicons or beast wars on me I may have to resort to violence. Robots in disguise are more than welcome to do battle for glowing cubes of energon, however. Furthermore, Soundwave must turn into a tape-player or lives are forfeit.

    What amazes me is that some people here apparently don't recognize Transformers..? What the..?

    Anyway, that'd be a really complex project if you wanted to provide any customization. Though it might not be beyond reach now.

    I agree with the guy who said it would end up with COX,  good setup and
    creation, needs help with mid-game stuff and other things after combat
    (I guess they never heard of Reed Richards or Clark Kent).  As for what
    kind of game, they'd pull from everywhere,  Beast Wars, Armada, G1/2
    and even the movies.   Trying to pull from one source would make the game more like AO.

    I think it would be cool for players to combine their transformers in PVP so you have huge one on one fights but there are 5 people controlling the one robot....

    Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

    That is what a transformers MMO would offer that none other could. That would be insane! Imagine one part of the robot pulling, one part healing, one part dealing damage, one part calling the shots.

    Blah to all these nay sayers.  I brought this same subject up several weeks ago when I find out about the upcomming Transformers movie that is due out next year and recieved the same mixed review... People seem to think one game is going to fail because another simular game did (COX/COH).. Thank goodness these MMORPG developers dont share you doom and gloom attitude or they would not be trying to make the upcomming Marvel and DC comics MMORPG's that we can look forward too in the future.

    You see people some people actually learn from others mistakes, and I'm sure people understand exactly what happened to COH/COH that makes/made it a Failure  with alot of  MMORPG fans. And im sure those same people that sat by and watched COH make thier mistakes will not do the same thing.

    If a good company gets behind the game I think it would be a mega hit. Personally I think it all depends on how the Transformer movie does next year. If its a hit then I do believe we will see a Transformer MMORPG.

    COH/COV isn't a failure!  It's doing great considering WOW is huge!  Look at the bigger picture, there are tons of MMOs out now, all are trying to get people to play.  Throwing one more in the mix will not make it successful, especally with transformer fans.  Basically I can't say it will fail or not, there really isn't a MECH MMO out there.  I'd wait for the one from NCSoft and see what Microsoft is doing with the Mechwarror license before putting my money anywhere. 

    COH/COV just needs to add non-combat stuff like crafting and creating items and temperary powers.  When they figure that out it will keep users longer and subed longer as well.

    Actually, I believe there is already one in closed beta. Its goin into Open beta Saturday Afternoon (tommorrow) I is very similiar to what you are talking about.

    The name of this game is called Bots of Ultimate Transformation. --> see even the title matches what you are talking about. Still I dont know why this MMO isnt on the game list here but.. I guess its not on any. It is made by acclaim (same maker of 9 dragons) but it does not contain a shred of magic and so forth.

    It has its own section for PvP but in order to play, you actually need to do mission maps. Check it out.
