The Energon Pub

Thanks. Anyone wish they'd make this game? I sure do, would be nice to a Transformer in full throttle and play how you want to play.

I think it would work best if there were Allegiances, Like , , , and Neutral/Drifter. There could even be other Allegiances and subfactions like Seeker Brigade and .

Classes should not exist, only skills that people put effort into and descriptions. No having to pick Ranger or Warrior or Scout or anything. A Bot wants to be a Spy, he takes lighter armor which would increase his speed and agility but cost him his protection, he could also get a stealth gen built in, a cloaking device and/or a hacking device so he could break in various places and there would be weapons like EMP devices you could use to put another player or NPC into Stasis with. A Con decides he wants to be a heavy gunner, he takes heavy armor and get a shoulder cannon, a rocket launcher and a gattling gun and maybe an atl mode of a cybertronian tank.


The Autbot Spy runs into this Decepticon Heavy, who do you think will win? If you say heavy, why do you think so? Just because the heavy has more guns and armor doesn't mean he'll be able to defeat the Spy, he may not even be able to HIT the Spy. The Spy could be a triple changer with a jet alt mode and a race car alt mode and would be able to flee if need be, he could also turn invisible and put the big guy into stasis from behind. The factor that counts most however is how each player would assess the situation, would they shoot at each other openly? Would they take cover and try to launch a counterattack? It's up to the player and this game not following the normal lock on and click spells way most MMOs have would mean it would up to how each person played and reacted to different situations. I think a game of this caliber would bring in so many people, young and old, into the TF world.

Sounds all good to me so I hope someone gets cracking on it as I'm already suffering from "Cosmic Rust" if you get the reference and I'm not getting any younger either!

This game or one similar would sale so many copies it'd be record shattering. The MMO Market needs to stop with the turn based and click and wait mechanics and see what people really want. I can see that if they did make a TF mmo it would be an MMORPG with no fanbase or fun factors and I bet transforming would be a high level feat and quite worthless in actual gameplay.



However, Transformers are not like that, they are more action oriented and use guns not spells. The ideas I have put out there will work wonderful if a company would just take a chance and not try to make a WoW clone. WoW does NOT set the standards for gaming, WoW is NOT action based or even remotely close to fun.


Transformers fans want action, explosions and lots and lots of bots. We'd rather transform into a camaro and blaze down an empty highway than hunt goblins and cast spells any day of the week, we want to be able to open fire on an enemy and have that fight take to the sky in a brutal display of sheer speed and firepower, we want to see the rocket's red glares as sparks are extinguished midair, we want to feel the asphalt underneath our tires as we do triple digits down a black top as we test out our new engine with nothing but the sweet smell of burning rubber and fresh energon fumes surrounding us, we want to hear that classics G1 transformation sound every time we transform because that would be music to our circuits, we want to dive head first into an all out brawl between Decepticons and Autobots and most of all, WE WANT TO KICK IT SEIBERTRONIAN STYLE!!!.

If you've not seen this before look what I found!

Yeah I remember that mod, it's ancient. Wish the teams making the newer mods for TF would finish already.

Just thinking about something this awesome has givin my head an orgasm. lol

but seriously, if this game isnt made by the time i get out of school and finish college, ill take matters into my own hands and make it myself!

depending on how long i go to college that could be about 6-10 years... only 3 years of High school left

I was thinking there could be other factions too, like ones that are not normal factions like but factions like Renegades and Unicron Cultists. The Unicron Cultists would be Transformers who's sole purpose is the resurrection of Unicron, in order to do this they need materials such as metals to rebuild him and energon to refuel him. Now when you think of Unicron here think of the deathstar the second time around, not fully whole but still somewhat functional. He'd be something that could give a follow upgrades and even reformat his followers into stronger beings. I just like the idea of Unicron not being a major bad guy but being a possibility for one.

i dunno, i played FFXI for a long time, and there were bosses at the end called gods, took loads to beat them, uni could and should be something like that imho

He would be something like that but he wouldn't be scripted and no single person could fight him alone or take a "quest" to reactivate him. It would be a long time coming before he was finally reactivated and it would something extremely hard for players to accomplish and even harder for players to defeat. I never liked the thought of Unicron being a god anyways, always seemed rubbish to me. He was a giant planet sized robot, he didn't create robots he built them, he devoured whole planets and what do planets have in them? Materials such as mineral ore and various metals and the means to create energy. Therefor he took the metals to forge bodies for his minions as well as the means to make energon and created it fuel them and himself. Nothing mystic about him, he was a titan among titans and a planet of steel all rolled into one. His sheer size alone and countless minions would make him hard enough for any army to take down.

That being said, Unicron being defeated wouldn't be end game, it would something huge that happened but the game and life would still go on.
