    Transformers would make a great MOBA, surprised that they have not yet made one.

    that was Transformers Universe and it failed because they did not stick to their plan of an MMORPG. i was psyched when i heard that news but when learning it was going to be a MOBA, i just couldn't find myself playing a limited world. i wanted a Transformers MMORPG, similar to Warcraft. i was let down when they didn't deliver.

    You're not optimal about it then.
    What kind of fan are you!

    Hmmm an Asian mmo made for Asia that will appear and disappear like many an mmo.
    I don't play MMOs so don't care.
    I did like the concept art from the previous transformers mmo, some nice stuff there.

    That transformation sequence for AoE Optimus actually wasn't bad.

    I really hope we can get more on screen transformations in TLK, even if they're cheaty.

    Interesting that the art shows movie Prime and some cross between WfC and IDW Bumblebee and Ratchet.

    Also was that Combiner Wars Swindle?
    At least he didn't get murdered.

    Plz don't get cancelled plz don't get cancelled, I'm pretty sure Transformers has a habit of having actually cool concepts CANCELLED. (I.ex, Universe and the original transformers online were both cancelled.)

    Transformers Universe does not count because ecomeçou as an online game, after several problems turned MOBA and all the characters were invented. One of the main things to populariedade of a MOBA are good characters and using popular characters from Transformers help it.

    "Similar to Overwatch" oh boy...

    Look Hasbro, take you're time and make a REAL transformers game again. I also find it funny that any shooter that comes out after May of 2016 is treated as "similar to Overwatch". If that's what this is trying to be, please differentiate, not because I'll say that nonsense, but a majority of the gaming population will.

    Sorry to "yuck" anyone's "yum", but that's just my opinion, it doesn't justify the means. if this is you're cup of tea, mainly to my brotheren overseas, sip away.

    Why is it called MMO in the title? It's stated to be a MOBA like Overwatch. This is gonna bomb, but not before I can get my hands on any juicy assets come launch day.

    If Activision has anything to do with this then you probably can bet your booties that these are copied and paste assets from the High Moon Studios/TF Rise of the Dark Spark games.

    I'd love a Transformers MMO too. If they ever make one that isn't reworked into a different genre or cancelled, it should be like a mixture of TERA and Wildstar (my favorite MMOs) with Transformers.
