New Hasbro online TFs game for 2012

[griffin]

A long way off, but Hasbro have officially announced an online game for Transformers for next year.
Unsure what format & theme it will follow, but being a year after the Movie, it might not be Movie Universe.

The good news is that the licensing covers Australia and New Zealand, so we should be able to access it when it goes live.

Update (already) - Looks like it will be based on Transformers: Prime.

Lame!

There is hardly any world building in TF Prime to sustain a MMO which is highly reliant on that.

They were better off basing it on G1 simply because it is by far the most developed universe of all the TF franchises with enough content to sustain a game of this scale.

Lame indeed. I'm put off already

Summary: Autobots wage their battles to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons online next year, as Hasbro grants the power to create a massively multiplayer online game based on the robots in disguise to Jagex, the folks behind popular free-to-play MMO RuneScape.

Curently yes. Perhaps in the future we will see some improvements. plus perhaps the game will act as a bit of world building.
