Has anyone heard or started a rumor that there's to be a Transformers version of the RISK board game coming out? I swear I saw a picture of one slated to be released this summer, but now i can't remember or find where I saw that.

Ah, my ever-more-intelligent wife knew where it was after all:

That's right. You're welcome.

"Risk, the game of Global domination!" Now I guess it's Universal domination.

I wonder if it'll be a map of Earth or the universe? There has to borders to cross and take over.

It would be AWESOME if it was a map of Cybertron! I'd love to see a detailed layout of the city-states, smelting pools, and all the obscure locales mentioned over the years in the various storylines. I wonder what the pieces will look like...

there is a map of hemesphere 1 (where most of the important city-states are) somewhere out there, but I can't remember where. It was a great find but it just made me more curious about the other half.

Edit: Aha found it. Linky linky! http://hometown.aol.com/zacwilliam1/CyberAtlas.html

Linky nice, hi five!

I have no clue what that board is a map of. Everything looks too small. I mean those boarders, WTF! How can you mass an army within those small @ss zones? Maybe they changed the game play?

That appears to be Cybertron in the background. It reminds me of the some of the other themed RISK games' boards (like Star Wars) where the territories are just undefined blobs, wihtout reference to the original board based on countries/regions of Earth. It could still be fun if they add some interesting elements to it, like maybe you can occupy the Moonbases or something like that...
