As previously heard before, here is the latest news on Jagex Games’s MMO Transformers Universe. Jagex and Hasbro have jointly released an extended trailer for the upcoming MMO, Transformers: Universe that features an unnamed transformer transforming from it’s vehicular alternate mode to a full fledged battle machine.
There’s a reason that the Transformers franchise has been running more or less continually for the past 27 years, and that’s in no small part due to sheer flexibility.
The fiction allows for stories anywhere between world-spanning science fiction to light-hearted antics, and the years of comics, shows, and movies have touched on many areas.

While the details are still light on the actual gameplay of the upcoming game, what we do know is that it promises to be an action-oriented MMO aiming at a browser client, allowing players to play a representative of either side in the fiction’s factional warfare.
While it will be running concurrently with Transformers: Prime when it launches in 2012, there’s no word on whether the show continuity will affect the game in any way. But you don’t need to worry about any of that to enjoy the video just past the cut — all you need to do is admire what’s sure to be a central part of the game no matter how it plays.
