Editing Transformers Online (2012 video game)

[[File:Transformers-Online-Factions.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
'''''Transformers Online''''' (变形金刚在线 ''Biànxíng Jīngāng Zàixìan'') was a Chinese [[Wikipedia:MMORPG|MMORPG]]. It was developed by Chinese company [[NetDragon]], and it is based on ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Transformers: Prime]]''. Players could choose to be an [[Autobot]], [[Decepticon]], or a member of the [[Star Seeker]]s. [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] opened a [[Space bridge]], sending [[Tyger Pax]] off of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and towards [[Earth]]. Split into two pieces, one half fell into the ocean, another orbiting Earth, with only government agencies and a few other humans aware of the occurrence and the Transformers themselves. The remains of Tyger Pax, along with the Autobots and Decepticons are hunted by the third faction.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/transformers-evolution---asian-market-mmorpg-details-images--gameplay-footage-174591/</ref> Beta testing started in August 2011,<ref>http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/netdragons-transformers-online-limited-beta-testing-underway-and-trailer/22575/</ref> and the game launched in March 2012.<ref>http://tformers.com/transformers-mmo-from-netdragon-officially/17369/news.html</ref>

The MMO appears to have been abandoned as of October 2012, as it was delisted from NetDragon's product page <ref>http://ir.netdragon.com/game/</ref> and the official website became non-functional in either late September or early October.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://tf.91.com/ - 1st Sep works, 9th Oct doesn't.</ref>

The original cast, naturally, have Chinese names. Many were given translated English names by "[[Ask Vector Prime]]" in 2015, through some ''very'' blatantly leading questions and comments. This is a change from how the fandom usually dealt with foreign names, where a fandom consensus romanisation of their original names would be used: for example, [[Star Saber (Victory)|Sutā Seibā]] to Star Saber, [[Ginrai|Jinrai]] to Ginrai, or [[Violen Jiger|Baiorenjaigā]] to <strike>Violent Jiger</strike>  <strike>Bio Ranger Iga</strike>  Violen Jiger. The reasons for this are likely down to Chinese language(s) names being harder for Western fans to pronounce, while many Japanese names were based on English words and were easier to transliterate.  

This game should not be confused with the British ''[[Transformers Universe]]''.
