Talk:Transformers Universe (Jagex)

Folks looking to add information to the article should check out the Edge Online article, and the commentary on said article from Polygon. Looks like the game has been changed from the initially promoted MMORPG-style game, to a MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena). Ayellowbirds 10:04, 13 December 2012 (EST)

beta

Beta is open. Should we put that on this page? Combaticons4ever 09:38, 12 June 2013 (EDT)

This game is never coming out, is it

Seriously. It's not. --M Sipher 22:56, 1 November 2013 (EDT)

If it does, it'll basically be the TF equivlant of Duke Nukem Forever. Escargon 22:59, 1 November 2013 (EDT)

Meltdown and Bumblebee Revealed

The character Meltdown will appear in Transformers Universe, so don't erase my edit, please. I didn't know wether to put hum under Prime or Universe, though. Bumblebee appeared in the "Test your metal" trailer, so don't erase that, either. CheeseMan (talk) 18:57, 26 February 2014 (EST)

Could you provide a source for Meltdown's appearance, please? -- SFH (talk) 20:53, 26 February 2014 (EST)

Apparently this Vine. --abates (talk) 21:33, 26 February 2014 (EST)

Screencaps - Meltdown and Duststorm

After seeing the two super-short clips on Vine, I thought the designs were worth grabbing screenshots of so people could get a better idea of them both. Would those be of any use to the wiki? -- Boy Blunderous (talk) 13:57, 27 February 2014 (EST)

Disambigs for New Game Characters?

Wasn't sure what disambig to use for the new characters Meltdown and Duststorm since we have a Universe fanchise already. I went with "Game". Anyone have a better idea, that's cool too. Thoughts? --ZacWilliam1 (talk) 14:00, 27 February 2014 (EST)

I changed it to (Universe 2014), ala (Universe 2003) and (Universe 2008). "Game" doesn't make sense - it's not called "Game" (e.g. Transformers: The Game) and it's far from the only Transformers game. - SanityOrMadness (talk) 14:25, 27 February 2014 (EST)

I know we have a thing for introducing new Aligned "franchises" whenever titles don't match up, but this game (so far) is so completely and utterly Prime that this comes off as stupid. Mimi (talk) 14:38, 27 February 2014 (EST)

Oh, a serious rationalisation of (disambig)s would be nice. But that's a change that the admins won't even hear of. - SanityOrMadness (talk) 14:57, 27 February 2014 (EST)

They can just be at (Universe), since the previous Universes didn't have a Meltdown or Duststorm. For instance, we have Ramjet (Universe) rather than "Ramjet (Universe 2003)". Jalaguy (talk) 14:40, 27 February 2014 (EST)

That's making another cross-continuity family disambig though. (Prime) would be better than that (and hell, I suppose Exodus/Exiles/Retribution don't get their own (disambig)s despite not having WFC/FOC/Prime on the covers...). - SanityOrMadness (talk) 15:07, 27 February 2014 (EST)

It's already a cross-continuity tag. Though I would agree that this game is probably deserving of (Prime) tags. I mean, if I recall correctly, Exiles characters get (Prime) because we were told the book was going to "Prime" in its title at one point. If that flies, then this game's almost-but-not-quite Prime show designs ought to qualify it. Jalaguy (talk) 15:16, 27 February 2014 (EST)

Indeed. Many Transformers video games don't have titles matching up with their franchises (the Armada game, Mystery of Convoy, Cybertron Adventures, etc.), but we still realize their appropriate franchises by things other than the title. (Which this article already does, if I may note.) Mimi (talk) 08:38, 28 February 2014 (EST)

New Characters

This will be for all newly revealed characters. As for now, Ratchet has been confirmed after appearing in Meltdown's video, so don't erase it. Please. CheeseMan (talk) 19:52, 28 February 2014 (EST)

Prequel?

Optimus is still alive, Megatron is leader of the Decepticons, no sign of Jack or the other kids, but Arcee is there. This looks to take place between the Prequel graphic novel and the events of Transformers: Prime.
