The Transformers are heading for the world of massively multiplayer online games thanks to a recently announced title that's slated to hit the East next year.
Developer NetDragon – who are also responsible for the forthcoming online outings for both Dungeon Keeper and Ultima in Asia – is behind the game, though few other details have been released. No mention was made, however, of a Western release for Transformers Online, with only Asian, North African, Middle Eastern and Russian territories mentioned.
"Transformers is already a household name in China, and we are extremely honored to be able to join hands with Hasbro to bring the excitement and fanaticism of Transformers into the online gaming sector" said NetDragon's Liu Dejian.
With Everquest making big news about their payment model, WoW still owning all, Star Wars prepping for launch and Torchlight gearing up... I am not seeing much room for Transformers in this market.

No mention of Guild Wars 2 or Warhammer 40k mmo? Shame on you! I seriously don't know how they would pull off a mmo based on Transformers.
