A new Transformers war is dawning. A new struggle between good and evil. And this time it’s a conflict that once started, can never end – or at least, not until the servers close.
Jagex Games Studio are no strangers to long-running epic battles, having run the online RPG RuneScape since way back in 2001. Now they’re set to launch their second large-scale MMO. Transformers Universe describes the face-off between altruistic Autobots and sneering, pantomime villain Decepticons. It might be based on a toy property, and it might be a free-to-play browser game, but it isn’t just for kids.

The graphics are nice, and I am a TF fan. I'm just not sure how I feel about it being browser based. Being that it's free to play, it won't hurt to try it out to see the end product though. Also not sure how I feel about it mainly being PVP. I do like PVP in MMO's, but I also like PVE. From what I've read, this is mainly revolving around fighting other players, and not NPC's.

Also curious on the customization. As a Gameinformer article said you can collect models to play as. Like, you have a stable of playable characters, and can collect new ones to play as. I wonder if that hurts customization, or if we'll be able to customize those too?

I'll try and keep up with it as much as possible.
