You can really see some of the elements of gameplay that one might expect from an MMO, such as a team roster, abilities, map, health, et cetera, yet there are some Shooter and what seems to be League of Legends influences in on this. It's very interesting, indeed.
With the release of our in engine trailer we know that anticipation for gameplay details is higher than ever. That’s why we’ve grabbed these early gameplay screenshots to give you an insight into what you can expect to see this summer.
These screenshots are from our early beta build of the game and may not reflect the final version of the game. They highlight your in game hud, the targeting system and showcase a few of the weapons and abilities you’ll be wielding in battle as you command your warriors. All of this is playable directly in your browser.
It’s difficult to convey the tactical action nature of Transformers Universe in just a few screens but we hope this gives you some idea of the fast paced battles that you’ll be charging into in just a few months’ time.

Hopefully they'll get some jet characters in before launch; that's the one thing I'd love to see right at launch.

I'd like to call this Swindle, but is that lipstick?

I'm actually quite looking forward to this game, now. Before, I thought it was... Well. I thought it wasn't going to be good. Now, I am intrigued.

How can something like this possibly work online via a pathetic internet browser with no backup installation files? Have I missed a massive revolution in gaming technology or is all this just a load of hype being built up for a glorified version of something like the mobile game legends? I'm having a hard time seeing how the above screenshots could depict a game running through something like Firefox...
I'd say you're right, it'll require several gigs of code to be downloaded on your hard drive. But it doesn't run through your web browser. You connect to the game servers via your internet connection directly, via ethernet cable or wifi. At least that's how I did it playing World of Warcraft for the first four years. I'm pretty sure that's how most mmorpg's do it but I could be wrong and missed something previously stated.

Well that's exactly what I thought would be more likely... It's just that the promotional material for this thing constantly says you play through a browser.

But people, how long have they been announcing this? 3 years?
When is it actually ready to play?

I hear ya. I was hoping for some PVE too to give us some real Transformers folklore.
But if its just gonna be a Bayformers PVP game….. Doesn't sound like my cup of tea.
And why is this only gonna be for PC's?
Their just gonna ignore the Playstation world?
We make up more than half of the gaming community.
I'll never get to play this then.
They're shooting for a very limited audience.

Well thats silly.
Hasbro has billions of dollars and they chose to go with a small-audience gaming publisher.
Why not just stick with High Moon so they could be more open to a bigger audience.
It sucks that people like me, a long time Transformers fan since the 80's, will never get to play a first ever Transformers MMO.

Yo! I'm from the Transformers Universe Community team, thought I'd drop in and respond to you. Transformers Universe does have PvE elements to it, whilst PvP will be a big part of the game there will be plenty of content to appeal to gamers who prefer taking on NPCs. Story wise, we're looking to give our players a clear understanding of why they are there and why they are fighting, but we're focusing on session based gameplay so you won't be completing a linear story arch to progress through the game.
We're also nothing to do with the films, we're inspired by Transformers Prime but with our own continuity and a little bit of a different look.

We're a company that specialises in browser based games, namely the popular game RuneScape. Browser games are what we do well and as browser games are easy to access (Pretty much any computer with a browser is the goal) it's logical that we make that platform our initial focus. We'd love to look at bringing our games to consoles in the future but we want to focus on the core PC online gaming community for launch.

Small-audience?!
Jagex produced RuneScape, one of the largest MMO games in the world with over 200 million accounts. You call that a small audience?

Because High Moon doesn't publish MMOs, while Jagex specializes in the game type.

Its only PC users.
Ive played other MMO's that cater to both PC users and Playstation users and Im always reading in other forums that the PC community is barren compared to the Playstation community.
So yes….. a limited audience.

Well this isn't Runescape, this is Transformers.
And even though the film franchise has been a global success, people who sit down and actually play Transformer games is a completely different story.
People who play TF video games are a very particular crowd. As it is right now no one hardly plays WFC, FOC or any of the film games anymore except the same damn 20 people. Trust me I know. I see the same names all the time when I log on to play any of those games.
Because once the game is completed there is nothing else left to do.
But now they finally made an MMO where you have the chance to progress through endless levels (I assume) so you would think they would make a game like this open to all so as to get the most out of the TF fan base.

But either way, we get slight glimpses of other new characters in the trailer, seen from the "recruit your squad" point in the video. Save the fact that we haven't any other information on these characters other than their busts, we get to see their designs!
If anything else shoots my way (like getting a Beta invite), I'll let you guys know!

4 years for that visuals??
"It's a web browser game". Well I know Unity engine can do better than this. That green and red lasers and glow didn't fit well. Omg what an awful animation. Why the transformers have to jump to transform?
(game rage off)
I hope it to have a toy line, Would love a Ratchet and Bulkhead repaint/remold.

did you buy your fancy mac to play games on? because the "rest of half the world" didn't because they realised that only a tiny fraction of games get released on macs.
oh and whilst there are a lot of people who use playstations to play playstation games, there are also a lot of people who play xbox games on xboxes and pc games on pcs. If you're correct, and I can't see why you wouldn't be given your obvious depth of knowledge on the subject and no doubt years of research into it, there are only 20 people who play Transformers games online, then it's quite possible that Hasbro and Jagex are seeking to attract a different audience to the game than those who already play TF games online.

Catapult moves in the shadows with the strut of a notorious gunslinger and reads cross-winds like a circling hawk.
Place Catapult at long range with her Phase Chamber primed, sniper rifle cocked and license-to-terminate activated; she'll drop her mark grill-down in the dirt for keeps. A mysterious loner, the only trace this Autobot exists is a tag scratched into every 'Con she dispatches to the scrapyard.
Retirement was never one of Shellshock's plans: he's been holed up in his armory feverishly waiting for the call.
Faceplate-deep in munitions and customizing his beloved miniguns, he ensured burst rates, muzzle velocities, calibers and cartridges all got a little love. A career killer, you won't have to ask him twice to rejoin the fight. Put this slayer in mid-range with a directive for destruction and Shellshock will have a blast every time.

No I did not buy a Mac to play games on but the fact that this game is ONLY EXCLUSIVELY for PC's is bothering to me being that a majority of people use Macs.
I love Transformers but I dont play the Transformers games that much anymore cuz Im maxed out. Ive completed everything. Theres nothing left to do anymore.
But if they made this game for the Playstation as well then finally more than just those 20 people would have a reason to keep playing for along time to come as oppose to other TF video games.
People didn't stop playing TF games on the Playstation cuz we didn't like it. We stopped cuz theres nothing more to do.
Give us more to do…...ENDGAME content…etc.
Hasbro is missing the logic in this.

Hey there! PC Gamers are a massive audience so there's definitely a huge amount of room for a Transformers PC browser game. We're aiming to bring Transformers Universe to as many different browsers as possible, as well as look to offer Mac support in future as we do with RuneScape.
NiteStar wrote:I love Transformers but I dont play the Transformers games that much anymore cuz Im maxed out. Ive completed everything. Theres nothing left to do anymore.
Then Transformers Universe should be right up you street! We're aiming for the game to be like a hobby, something you will be able to enjoy and play for years to come. Unlike boxed games, being an online browser game means we can continue to offer more and more content on a regular basis. Take a look at our other game RuneScape, we've been offering fresh new content on an almost weekly basis for over 10 years! That's a lot of stuff to do!
NiteStar wrote:But if they made this game for the Playstation as well then finally more than just those 20 people would have a reason to keep playing for along time to come as oppose to other TF video games.
Jagex are experts in browser based online gaming, our MMORPG RuneScape has been one of the top online games for over 10 years and continues to do really well. We want the same to be true for Transformers Universe and so we've focused on developing it on a platform we know we can support well. Most gamers have access to a PC browser so there should be no shortage of gamers who can join in and play Transformers Universe.

considering every reliable source will show that the majority of people with desktops run a windows based OS, crying about something and using false info isn't going to win any arguments though.

Well in my years of computer using (15 years) a majority of people I meet and have met are always on MacBooks and iMacs, and Power Macs and iPhones and iPods and iTunes and so on and so on…etc, etc.
Only time I ever see PC's are in libraries and schools and offices and places of business.
And Im not trying to win an argument. I didn't even know this was an argument. You guys getting' all stirred up….lol
Im not even trying to argue about computers either. All Im saying and my point is that by Hasbro making this new soon-to-be Transformers game NOT available on the PS4 and excluding a large demographic of the world is unfair to other millions of Transformers fans and not a wise move on Hasbro's part…is all.

Shellshock reminds me of the Heavy from TF2.
BTW, does anybody know what's going on with Bumblebee's head? It looks like his Prime head, but with his G1/WFC horns.
In fact, it seems that all of the Prime-original characters (Ratchet, Arcee, etc.) had some modifications made to their designs.

It's probably so that they can actually get away with calling it "Universe" instead of calling it the "TF:Prime" video game. Honestly, I'm glad they've done this. If this were a game with nothing but straight up Prime designs, I wouldn't touch it. This is just enough different that it has me intrigued and very much excited about the designs of these characters. I'm hoping we see some of these in the Generations line by the start of 2015.
I gave serious thought to modding one of my Scout class Landmine/Dune Runner/Sandstorm figures to make a Catapult but they just aren't similar enough to turn out decent looking and I like those figures too much to sacrifice one of them for the attempt. fingers crossed that Hasbro, money grubbers that they are, will be pumping out figures for this game soon and I won't have to worry about making my own. Some of the trucks they have in the game trailer would make kick-ass figures. better than a lot of the stuff they are giving us now out of any of their lines and better than anything I've seen from the upcoming movie line by an infinite order of magnitude.
