game release date for PC:
Development of the game Transformers Online for PC have been suspended and will not be continued.
Developed by Tencent, Transformers Online is an online shooter based on the free-to-play business model. The game is based on the popular license of a popular brand Hasbro that reigns throughout the cinemas. Older fans might also remember Transformers from comic books, animated movies, and toys that started the whole phenomenon. The game allows players to participate in dynamic multiplayer battles as one of the characters from the popular franchise, such as Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee.
Plot
The action of Transformers Online is set in the fictional universe, in which eons ago there a war broke out between two factions of Transformers – gigantic intelligent robots that can instantly assume different forms. Because of this conflict, Cybertron (Transformers' home plane) was obliterated. Both Autobots and evil Decepticons are forced to look for refuge across the galaxy – of course, they choose Earth which has now become their new battleground.
Mechanics
Transformers Online is an online shooter in which players observe the action from the first or third person perspective. The game features gameplay similar to that known from Blizzard's big hit, Owervatch – one can control different characters, each one with unique skills, utilized weaponry, and features. For example, Bumblebee is a killer, Ratchet supports his team as a medic, while Bluestreak eliminates enemies from large distances as a sniper. Player's target is to eliminate the opposing team or completing a particular task – e.g. escort a vehicle throughout a large map. The battles are very dynamic and exciting.
Nonetheless, Tescent has added something to the formula seen in Overwatch – as befits Transformers, they can assume different forms. Some of them can become fast cars, others can turn into trucks, jeeps or a mighty tank. This is why each character has a sort of the second layer that the player has to consider when selecting the character for each battle. Another novelty is the ability of melee combat using different weapons – the game introduces a mode in which players have no other way to fight their opponents apart from melee combat.
Technical aspects
Transformers Online is based on Unreal Engine 4 that is known for providing high-quality visuals. Both the locations and character models feature a distinctive cartoonish style that translates the atmosphere of the source material.
Misc.
Transformers Online is a free-to-play game with optional microtransactions.

Gameplay[edit]
The gameplay has been described as containing 'brawler-style combat and diverse driving sequences'. There is a multiplayer function, both cooperative and competitive. Competitive modes include Brawl, Battle for Energon and Emblem Match.[4] The Wii version of the game featured motion controls while the Nintendo Wii U, 3DS and Nintendo DS featured touch-based input.[5]
Story Mode gameplay for Wii and Wii U is broken into 13 stages, each with a varying number of segments. Unlike previous Transformers, the game has solely an Autobot campaign. However, several unlockable Decepticon characters are playable in multiplayer mode as you progress throughout the game. In fact, when the player has completed the game, while in multi-player only, every character is playable (except Thunderwing, Vehicons, Insecticons, Jack, Miko, and Raf), but no two players can select the same character.
Cybertronian Artifacts[edit]
Cybertronian Artifacts are relics (resembling the spark extractor) that are hidden on story mode missions. They can be found to unlock pieces in the gallery. Every mission has at least one artifact, but each mission has a different numbers of artifacts, including the Immobilizer.
Plot[edit]
The Decepticons intercept a mysterious meteor approaching the Earth, and the Autobots arrive to try and thwart the Decepticons' plans. A massive eruption of power during the battle on the meteor breaks out, and the Autobots become separated from Jack, Miko and Raf, who are monitoring them at base. Unknown to the Autobots and their human friends, the Decepticons have uncovered Thunderwing, an ancient being and disciple of Unicron that they will use to try to take over the Earth.[5]
Over the course of the game there will be different locations as well as different battles along the way. Some may include having to rescue the kids from the dreaded Decepticons. Others may involve having to find pieces of the great and powerful Thunderwing. Eventually though the main rivals of the characters are defeated including Airachnid, Knock Out, Dreadwing, Starscream, and Soundwave by Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Ratchet, and Optimus but Thunderwing is revived by the very end of the chapters. In the end the children are rescued and a final stand off with Megatron occurs leading into the battle with Thunderwing to determine the fate of Earth itself.
Using an experimental device, Jack and Arcee deliver it to Thunderwing, weakening him to a vulnerable state. Unleashing the power of the Matrix, Optimus destroys Thunderwing once and for all.
Development and marketing[edit]
Artwork for Transformers: Prime – The Game was unveiled at the 2012 New York Toy Fair in February.[6] A debut trailer was released shortly after, in March.[4] A second trailer, displaying cutscenes from the game was revealed to the public two months later, in May.[5]
Reception[edit]
The game received positive reviews. IGN gave it a 7.8/10.[7]
