there is going to be a Transformers MMO
sadly (for now) it is only being released in China, "Asia", Russia, the Middle East and North Africa, hopefully it will come out here too eventually (as long is its a decent game)

Nope, haven't heard that before.

And honestly, I believe it will be one that you pay for, and even though I loathe that concept, if this game is good I will buy it.

I have a feeling that this will turn out to be lame.

I feel that there is two reasons as to why this game, for the time being, will not see the light of day in western countries:

1. An analysis, being undertaken, has shown that the game wouldn't see a return on investment in the West being that that market is already 95% owned by a singular game.

2. These countries, apart from China, are usually the last to be thought of when it comes to games and MMOs, so the attempt would be to make this game the 'WOW' of the Eastern world, good on them if they manage to achieve it.

Of course the above are just 'Hypothetical' but they're not completely unreasonable, either way it is interesting that they've gone with this sort of Marketing approach.

Hardly any info yet, plus looks like Australia won't get it, but, here's the first bit of news:

I've thought about the Transformers being an MMO, and one question that always came to mind was "How many registered and trademarked Transformer character names will be created as NPCs or simply blocked by Hasbro from allowing players to create characters with those names?"

As I understand, there are lots of Transformer characters... so the list will be ... huge.

It might end up like this...

[Enter your character name]: Optimus Prime [ENTER]
[Error]: Name disallowed
[Enter your character name]: Megatron [ENTER]
[Error]: Name disallowed
[Enter your character name]: Soundwave [ENTER]
[Error]: Name disallowed
[Enter your character name]: Starscream [ENTER]
[Error]: Name disallowed
[Enter your character name]: Ironhide [ENTER]
[Error]: Name disallowed
[Enter your character name]: Iron-hide [ENTER]
[Error]: Name too similar to disallowed name
[Enter your character name]: Iron Hide [ENTER]
[Error]: Name too similar to disallowed name
[Enter your character name]: Ironplate Hide [ENTER]
[Error]: Name already in use by another player
[Enter your character name]: * keyboard smashes through monitor *
"!@#$"
[Errorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr r]

With all those errors, the only think I can think of is the french robotman in Eurotrip

Dear God I hated that guy!

It'll be interesting to see if the game take off, it will probably determine whether or not the West will ever see it.

Names are a good point though, there are certainly going to be some interesting ones - 1337 Prime!

I suspect this will go the way of the Dragon Ball MMO, nowhere town fast!
