I wanted to ask if it is actually playable but I read that it is!
Going to try it out today.
There was way to much information about this game over the past months and it wasn't even finished yet with no clear launch date.

Is there a date for the normal final version? I read it's still in some sort of pre-version?

No date besides summer


i assume it will either be at the end of summer or shortly after




Jagex does not know themselves but they believe it will be this year.



The game is a little buggy at this moment due to errors with their latest patch but besides that the game is good.

Yeah, some sort of "pre-version". Also known as the Beta, which is the stage in which many of the fundamental basic features of the game are functional (read working, but not always...). In Beta, the focus is refining, polishing, and tuning what is already there, while adding some extra, new features. The game right now is honestly very Alpha-ish (the stage right before Beta, in which many of the game's features are incomplete work-in-progress and some of the fundamental mechanics have not been implemented yet.). It's got most stuff okay, but the game still needs some polishing, and it's having a player problem (which is explained in the recent dev report, which is an interesting story....older players tend to shift towards the Decepticon side, while younger ones to the Autobots. This caused the Autobot player numbers to be significantly higher then Decipticons, however, since TFUniverse is a complex MOBAish game, the decepticons are winning the war due to most players being older and have better reaction time/understanding/speed/more developed brain then the younger Autobot players. It's also been noted that %23 of the Decepticon players have switched sides to Autobots just to try to fix that skill gap. But, it still isn't working..)

It could take place as a prequel to Prime

How did Brawl end up on Earth when the Combaticons were on Cybertron during the events of the Prime cartoon?

Why are the Decepticons using the Leviathan? Where the hell's the Nemesis?

If Arcee's a part of Team Prime, why isn't Cliffjumper? He shouldn't be dead if it's a prequel.

The cartoon made it pretty clear that members of the Ark were scattered across the galaxy. Under what logical circumstances would the Autobots (both established Transformers characters and the new Jagex characters) have to scatter across the cosmos, and how would they achieve this in the first place?

The Autobot and Decepticons' battles are supposed to be kept under wraps. I highly doubt Agent Fowler, or anyone of governmental authority, would let any of the maps in the game take place without any resistance.

What's up with all the Terrorcons? Megatron shouldn't have even found his "army" if it's a prequel, and why would zombies have access to space bridges in the first place?

Speaking of Terrorcons, why would Megatron order his men to destroy them? He wanted to use Terrorcons as an army, and this stance isn't exactly the kind you acquire overtime when you're a tyrannical warlord.

If you could explain all of this, I'll adopt your theory about Transformers Universe being a prequel to Prime. Otherwise, the concept is absolute farcicality.

Not long after the latest Transformers: Universe update, Jagex have published a press released confirming the arrival of two canonical characters into their game as signature bots: Autobot Wheeljack and Decepticon Knock Out! The two are tweaked designs of the Transformers: Prime incarnations, and can be seen in the mirrored images below. Check out the press release too.

9th September 2014: Jagex has confirmed today that both Wheeljack and Knock Out, known to fans worldwide as characters from the Transformers TV series, will appear as playable warriors within TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE.

Premature news of their inclusion reached media overnight. While Jagex is willing to confirm their plans to include these, and many other, signature bots, further details of their weapons, equipment, and special attacks will not be forthcoming at this time.

Mark Gerhard, Jagex CEO, said of the unscheduled reveal, “It’s regrettable that such recognisable faces from Transformers lore should prematurely appear in the public domain without the rightful fanfare they deserve. On a positive note we’re delighted that they’re already resonating strongly with both our existing players and the wider Transformers fan-base. It’s immensely encouraging to see this level of interest, especially as we look at our existing road map and the plans we have for the inclusion of many other signature favourites within the game later this year.”

Further details about both Wheeljack and Knock Out will be scheduled for release soon, as will additional information about Chromia and Flamewar – other lore-based warriors who were mentioned in the latest community update of 5 th September: https://www.transformersuniverse.com/en ... rse-050914

Anyone brave enough to experience killer team combat in TRANFORMERS UNIVERSE can play now by downloading the Windows or Mac thin client at http://www.transformersuniverse.com.

how awesome would it be to have a generations knockout?

[#Sideways#]

So... If this takes place after the show... Why is Knock-Out a Decepticon again? Didn't he change sides?

[Zeedust]

So... If this takes place after the show... Why is Knock-Out a Decepticon again? Didn't he change sides?

For that matter, Optimus and Megatron are supposed to be involved. If this is after the Prime cartoon, shouldn't Megatron be a pacifist and Prime be dead? And shouldn't the Predacons factor in somehow?

The hell have you guys been?


It's not part of Prime anymore its now part of the Genarations continuity (not to be confused with the toyline)


I have spoken to one of the Jagex staff on the TFU fourms so i do know this for a fact.





If it was part of Prime the only way it would make sense is if this was a prequel to Prime and after the game events the only Bots and Cons still alive would be the cast of Prime, the upcoming Rid and whoever shows up again in the future.

I already explained (to you, in fact) why TFU wouldn't work as a prequel to Prime.

Also, while I'm relieved it's been taken out of the Aligned continuity, you should support your claim as not everyone here follows the TFU forums. If you could link us to this statement or conversation, that would help.

Never saw the quote


thread is also deleted due to some people leaking warriors (including myself as i found the trick that got us the images of Swagger, Cameo, Outsider, Contagion and Firebreaker early i also have pics of Bombast, Pitstop and Rollcage.)



But you can make a thread on there and ask yourself the staff there are on a lot and are very nice which is why i prefer those forums then Tfw2005 and also this site (which is second on my fave forums list)

[noctorro]

Okay played it a few times.
Thoughts:

Core gameplay is good, shooting/walking/transforming/driving.
The base area is great, with Optimus' hologram talking to the troops, really got the feel
that I was part of the Transformers war
Models look great, good animation.
Can't wait to unlock that Arcee like character.

Missions are to easy and small, if there are like 10 players in the map you have to race
to get in a few hits at all.
You practically don't level unless you play for like a fulltime week (40 hours).
And you don't earn enough points to buy anything.

There are some missions that take up to 10 minutes to complete and the enemies can tear you apart if you're not with the group. Most of them are just supposed to be "minigames," however.

[Autobot032]

They need to add Breakdown. Knock Out/Breakdown is my OTP.

Autobot Outsider - Outsider beams in and out of battle in the blink of an eye! This warrior utilizes unique teleport abilities to dodge bullets with his tactical ingenuity. Don't let his 60's style fool you, this Autobot isn't as peaceful as he looks. 

Decepticon Pandemic - Pandemic has a fighting style that is infectious! Taking pleasure in poisoning anyone not blessed with his own sharp style, this snake like Decepticon sinks his fangs into his enemies.

[Madeus Prime]

Ha! My cousin collects VW buses. He'll love this!

[MGrotusque]

Outsiders bio so far has me intrigued. I really do like the VW bus alt mode. All the surfboards and gear packed on the roof rack is a nice touch.

[Flashwave]

i see a repaint of Energon Towline in Outsider's future

[LOST Cybertronian]

Jagex has fully revealed the two newest additions to the Transformers Universe MMO game. Up first is Outsider who is an Autobot and has a very retro alt mode and then we got the infectiously named Pandemic on the Decepticon side.

The first warrior on the scene is Autobot Outsider. Beaming in and out of battle in the blink of an eye, Outsider utilizes unique teleport abilities to dodge bullets with his tactical ingenuity. Don’t let his 60’s style fool you, this Autobot isn’t as peaceful as he looks.

The second warrior to slither in is Decepticon Pandemic. This warrior has a fighting style that is infectious! Taking pleasure in poisoning anyone not blessed with his own sharp style, this snake like Decepticon sinks his fangs into his enemies.

They have also uploaded a very lengthy gameplay video featuring both Outsider and Pandemic. The video has been embedded for you.

[Shuttershock]

Is that purple with cheetah patterns? I think it is!

[DecepticonFinishline]

Outsider wins for best Alt Mode in all of Transformers History.

[Shuttershock]

i see a repaint of Energon Towline in Outsider's future

There really need to be more wide release van Transformers. I used Towline to make Reflector once (news van = spy), and I really wish he'd been more substantial.

[LOST Cybertronian]

Need a little more help decided who you want to side with in Transformers: Universe? Jagex has released two videos with Optimus Prime in an Autobot Introduction video explaining the urgency in stopping the Decepticons and Megatron in a Decepticon Introduction video laying out his plans for the Autobot's destruction. You can join the war at Transformers: Universe.

[megatronus]

Pretty neat. These videos really, really make Transformers Universe seem like a prelude to TF: Prime (even though that's not entirely the case, I believe).
