New Information on Transformers Monopoly Game

Where's the preorder? Ring one up for me!

Huh so that guy about 8 months ago was actually serious when he said this would be made. Interesting.

What other planets will we be seeing?
I bet that Charr and Junk get to be the cheapo lots.

I've seen a few pics myself and it looks pretty good. I can't wait to actually own a Monopoly board game of my own, let alone a TF one.

I bet the Ark and the Nemesis will be railroad spaces, or maybe even a spacebridge. Even though it will probably remain unchanged (copout!!!), the jail space should have the Combaticons in it.

I just played the Marvel Monopoly game Saturday. If it's anything like that then the spaces will be the high-profile TF's like Prime, Megatron, Shockwave, and then have some factions like the Dinobots and Insecticons.

Looks like I'm buying me a Monopoly game.

Spencer Gifts? Frac that will cost a fortune

What does G1-based actually mean these days. For all I know we will probably get a movie-style boardgame.

"Based on G1 Cartoon and comics."

It doesn't get much clearer than that, without them actually naming Marvel and Sunbow in the press release. I think Monopoly qualifies as something directed more at the nostalgia market (like Optimash Prime and the plush figures) so it's only sensible to assume it'll be based around the sterling work of Floro Dery and Uncle Bob Budiansky.

TRANSFORMERS MONOPOLY! WOO!

Uh? You gotta be kidding?

Nope. They are very serious. That is awesome!

That was actually featured at Toyfair but I have no idea what universe it is in and any details of it, I was only told about the Monopoly set.

They ARE doing a TF Risk game too.

I'm looking forward to this...normally I don't buy all the Monopoly versions except for the new MegaMonopoly version (has 12 additional spaces, 9 properties, and you can build skyscrapers!), but I'm definitely in for this one. With this in production, how long will it be before TF Trivial Pursuit? Stratego?

This sounds great. G1 has a rich history and backstory that will translate well into these games - as mentioned, the ships, planets, etc. I'll be picking one of these up, as well as the Risk game - so long as it's G1, too.

The movie head sculpts may keep me from jumping in on too much of the merchandise, but trying to be open minded till I see the flick.

Would Unicron be the equivalent of Australia in Risk?

I hate to break it to you, but...Unicron is a CHARACTER. He transforms readily and could never be a Risk planet.

Interesting... Im a little surprised that Hasbro let them do a G1 version of Monopoly when they are so focused on everything movie related for the next 9 months or so.

I guess there weren't enough locations in the movie to fill a monopoly board. Or atleast interesting locations, it would be boring to buy "the street form car chase scene".

I just want the little metal pieces.

I'm gonna buy Carbombya

I here they have good energon

Oh man, specialty shops? It's gonna be smegging expensive. You know what, I'll most likely just Photoshop my own version of the game board once I know what it looks like and use some Basic Titaniums as pieces.

Damn it. I made on of these back in 2002. I knew a G1 Monopoly was going to be released one of these days. Obviously I could never mass sell this item, due to copyrights, but I thought it was pretty well done. I still have all of the photoshop files if anyone was interested.

Hmm, specialty stores aye? Hope casefresh or Target or somewere gets it, because if I remember correctly, the Simpsons Monopoly was "Specialty only"

Groovy, could I have those Photoshop files, if you don't mind?

And S3, Simpsons Monopoly was widely available, I think. I found it at TRUs, Sears, Wal-Mart and stuff.

Sounds great, I can't wait.

I made a post about this about a year ago....but it wasn't from Usaopoly but "Transopoly"

I tried to click on the old one but I get "Information"
"The topic or post you requested does not exist"

Oh well

Hooray for G1.

Boo for being 20 odd years too late for me to care.

Yes! Transformers Monopoly!! I'm guessing that junk, Charr, a moon of Jupiter ("The God Gambit") or even that one planet from where Seaspray found his lost love.......At least it's confirmed that it's getting made. Thank Primus for that. If I had to guess, other than Prime & Megatron, I would say the other tokens are Bumblbee, (hopefully) Soundwave & Starscream or Ironhide. Maybe Devastsator. But you hafta know that like other Monopolies, there'll be special send-away tokens for $7 plus shiiping.........

im glad its based on g1 like the chess set

I guess I must make sacrifice then...so what am I going to do with my original Monopoly board game?

Good point. I would think it's a bit of a stretch to use planets as property, unless they are going to use various places on each planet.

Here's the most well known:
Earth
Cybertron
The planet of Junk
Unicron
Quints

Plus, Char, Goo (sp.?), Moonbases maybe, Torqulon, that planet from "Carnage in C-Major" (or "Minor", whichever).

Simpsons Monopoly was in Woolworths too, SuperSaiyajinSasuke.

So far so good, I don't like Monopoly, but I do have some sets that I've gotten as gifts and whatnot, and I would buy it just to ad to that collection.

I'd file it between Spider-Man Monopoly and the Armada board game.
