'''''Nicktropolis''''' was a virtual world browser game based on several [[Nickelodeon]] properties. 

It announced a Transformers sponsored minigame in November 2008, with [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Transformers Universe]] branding (though the initial announcement page showed the logo for [[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|a different Transformers Universe]]<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20081119183457/http://www.nick.com/nicktropolis/game/index_transformers-game.jhtml Initial announcement page]</ref>). The minigame released shortly after the announcement.

Nicktropolis had a major overhaul, becoming The Club in 2010 and removing all Transformers content in the process. It was discontinued altogether in 2014.

==Gameplay==
Nicktropolis was a virtual world game, where players could chat, play games, and earn NickPoints to purchase items to dress up their avatar or decorate their own room. 

==Transformers Game==
The Transformers minigame, referred to by the incredibly descriptive title of "Transformers Game", took place in the [[Desert Barren]], an abandoned place full of [[Energon|Energon cubes]]. For some reason, Transformers were unable to collect these cubes themselves, and they needed human volunteers to help.

Players entered a room, which appeared to have video playing on an in-game screen. A surviving screenshot of this area shows the screen playing part of the [[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|Transformers: Cybertron]] intro. There they chose between the Autobots or the Decepticons.

Once in the desert itself, players collected as many cubes off the ground as they could and brought them to their team's headquarters. Players could lay traps for the opposing side, freezing the players who got caught in them and allowing them to take the trapped opponent's Energon cubes. The teams were marked by different uniforms. The Decepticon uniform was black with a purple insignia, while the Autobot uniform was blue with a black insignia. 

The team headquarters was uniquely themed around the faction it was based on. It featured a leaderboard showing various player stats, and a percentage ranking, likely showing which team had collected the most Energon cubes overall.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20081121180305/http://www.nick.com/nicktropolis/game/index_transformers-game.jhtml Updated version of the previous page, including screenshots and description of gameplay.]</ref>
