Notes

• BotCon 2012 attendees were able to reserve their in-game name at the convention.
• The game has gone through a couple of genre shifts. Initially slated to be released as an MMORPG with multiple classes and conventional character creation, but the difficulty of customizing robots was cited as part of the reasoning in changing it to the quickly expanding MOBA genre. Right. It has since been declared to be a massively online, tactical action game by Mark Gerhard, CEO/CTO of Jagex.
• On April 25th, 2014, Founders Packs were revealed, along with founder exclusive bonuses and new characters. Each increasingly expensive pack, from Bronze to "Cybernite", grants a three day head start to play the game and various in game bonuses, in addition to season passes of various lengths of time and exclusive warriors. The most expensive at $449.99 dollars, the Cybernite pack also offers a limited edition ten inch diorama figurine showcasing Showdown and Shellshock in combat. Yeesh.
• Someone named Vectorium is quoted on Anomaly's page on the Transformers Universe website, referring to the green toxic youngster's capabilities in shock. Considering the pattern of the other Transformers Universe bios, all of whom quote pre-existing characters of the same faction, Vectorium is likely another Autobot. Autobot Macro's bio page, while not quoting another Transformer, does quote the Autobot aligned Agent William Fowler. Meanwhile, Decepticon Diabla's page quotes a previously unknown Aligned continuity version of Snow Cat.
• Between June 6-7, 2014, five unreleased playable characters were leaked by some TFW2005/TFU forum users who toyed around with the generic link for model images of playable Autobots and Decepticons alike.
• Among closed beta access winners are:Firesuperstorm and VitalHD
