How awesome would a Transformers action MMORPG be? Totally awesome would be the correct answer. As long as there was a way of allowing for a procedural method of transformation (i.e. you can tweak your character’s appearance in a nearly infinite number of ways) I think the actual gaming mechanisms would translate well to a MMORPG format.
You can start by picking either Autobot or Decepticon, then specialise in various abilities such as vehicle mode (wheels, flight), weapons, etc. Quests could be against mega-robots, enemy facilities, Quintessons and PvP is a natural. Leveling up gives you better weapons, new transform options (triple-changers, extra AI-controlled componenets like Optimus Prime’s trailer) and the ability to customise more of your character. Players would have to use both vehicle mode and robot mode for different weapons, ability to heal and take damage, travel speeds, etc.
Naturally the world would be Cybertron, with possible Earth and space expansion packs. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. That probably means someone is already making it, and while I hate them for stealing my idea, I can’t wait to play it, if they don’t fuck it up…
