Okay now after hearing about the new DS Autobot and Decepticon games I got struck by an idea so good the Megatron would let Sharkacons rip me apart if I didn't post it.
I myself can not produce such a game due to my lack of know how, I can edit the sprites needed for the game and produce the basic graphics for a low grade version of the game. But I would need a programer or twos help with the project if it was to become a reality (and I would reward with lots of gold)
Okay now this will seem more logical for those that play mmo's (massive multiplayer online) such as WoW (World of Warcraft).
Seeing as Marvel are going to make a Superhero MMO why not
A mock up using transformer and World of Warcraft part (though even a low grade sprite version would be cool)
Well heres a quick guide of how the character selection would work.
(First you pick your gender of course then smile
You pick your side Autobots (this also contains any good transformers such as Maximals) or Decepticons (all 'bad' guys such as Predacons).
Now this is set just like Allience and Horde for those that know WoW.
Now you select your Bot type (this is like Race selection) so say you go for Cybertronian over Maximal (this will change your options for what you can look like and some Alt modes that apply only to that section).
Once you have chosen you Bot type you move on to Alt mode (this is like choosing a class aka warrior) now say you have chosen Flying and your a Decepticon so you know choose out of Jet, Helicopter etc if you where a Predacon this could be a Bat or Insecticon (beast mode).
Now you have chossen colours and looks for your character and given them a name to make them your own. Now you start the game at the location of your Side and Alt type so say your a Car and an Autobot you will appear at the Garage with the NPC Hot Rod telling you what to start doing as your first quest etc.

Okay now we know how we could go about selecting a character ,lets go talk about cybertron.
As above I said you will start in the location of your side the world will be split into home camps for Autobots, Maximals, Decepticons and Predacons (and any others that get put in). The Alt modes will have base camps around that area but will be close enough to the main base (like a main city) for you to go talk to Optimus or Megatron. If you are an Autobot you can go to Maximal areas and be fine as they will not attack you (wild Sharkacons or other AI enemies will though). This is the same for Decepticons and Predacons. Just like WoW if an Autobot came across a Decepticons player (not an AI) they can decide if they want to attack and destory them or let them pass. (also same teams can train with each other if both parties agree PvP).
Now like all MMOs Dungeons would be scattered across Cybertron these are areas that you can go to to level up fast or just gain alot of loot or upgrades. These would be netural enemies for both sides such as followers of Unicron etc this will be the same for game events that affect both sides.
Talking about loot and upgrades as well as the normal skills you can learn and upgrade you will be able to upgrade your armour and weapons by finding parts or talking to a NPC in a factory. The main trade of money would be Energon to keep in with the theme.
Some places will be netural so there is more chance to come across an player from the other team there. Also some areas will be battle areas where once you chose to fight there you will earn special honour points for custom gear that the elite of the Autobots or Decepticons (etc) wear.Tell me what you think so far?

More character Depth! (The Beast forms are less important as a trial run would probally miss them out all together)
Bot mode and Alt mode the difference is in Alt mode the player is either faster or slower than bot mode and has more concentrated fire power when in alt mode (maybe not as strong depending on bot set up). Close combat attacks will consist of only ramming in Alt mode.
Speed: The hotshots of the game they are the first in and the first to strike, the play fast hitting hard and then when the tides against then all they leave is a dust cloud.
Fly: Taking to the sky and laying shots into the enemy lines for the team is these guys job. They can scout ahead and pick up items needed while laying down needed shots.
Heavy fire: The big guns these guys tend to lay down a hailstorm of fire in alt mode, stationary taking a pounding they give X2 what they get and are often essentail when a siege mission pops up.Stealth: These are the bots most likely to by undercover or drifting, while they are likely to look after number one first the information they can gain is priceless, they are often already striking in enemy lines from the shadows.
Blademaster: When the battle turns into a royal rumble and fists and weapons are flying everywhere it will be these guys that the scrap heap will pile next too.
Warrior: The core in any force these hard core bots take whatever mission at what ever cost taking loads of damage to get the job done. The may not have any real outstanding talent but that doesnt mean they are not good at what they do
Alt mode differences:
1.
Speed: (Car/MotorBike/Bigcat/Snake)
High initive,fast in alt mode, skill- auto dodge (high evade rate when active), low armour.
2.
Fly: (Jet/Shuttle/Helicopter/Hawk/Insecticon)
High accuracy, can fly over enemies in alt mode avoding Close combat, low armour and vunrable to lock on range attacks.
3.
Heavy fire: (Tank/Missile Truck/Rhino/Stegasarus)
Strong range attacks, high armour, slow alt mode, low initive, slow bot reload rate.
4.
Stealth: (motorbike/Spider/Small car/rodent)
High initive, strong close combat attacks, Skill Stealth (avoids lock on and for a limited time make player transparent), lowest armour on the game.
5.
Blademaster: Car/Spider/bigcat/4X4/truck/Gorrila/Raptor/Construction Vehicle
Good all round stats, High Close combat skill.
6.
Warrior: Car/Spider/bigcat/4X4/truck/Gorrila/Raptor/Construction Vehicle
Good all round stats, High armour.

This is an interesting concept. Before the film, I would not have even thought this to have a chance, but perhaps there is a glimmer of hope. Who's to say? I would point out, however, that you use WoW so much as a frame of reference that your pitch comes off as little more than a hack of that game engine and skins. Kinda cheapens the overall effect.

Very interesting to say the least.
It does sound like the 360 could do the trick, but how?
To take full advantage of the 360's ability to be graphically spectacular would take a LOT of time and skill. Not saying that you lack that, this seems something that would require more than just one person.

That's awesome! Can I suggest something? I think it would be cool if it could have combiners, like if your a construction vehicle, on certain mission you could form devostator with the constructicons, and some tripe changers...Triple changers would be awesome. BTW, will this actually be made?
