mar 12, 2012 - Transformers: Universe (beta) (PC)

Description:

Transformers Universe is a cancelled free to play browser based massively[sic] online tactical action game, or MOTA.[1] First unveiled at Botcon 2011,[2] closed beta testing began a year after in 2012[3] in which Steller Dawn's production had been cancelled to focus on Transformers Universe.[4] Closed beta then ended sometime in 2013. In 2014 Jagex announced the change to from MMO to MOTA[5] and closed beta registrations began again. The game entered open beta testing on July 4, 2014.[6] It was being developed by Jagex and it is set in an alternate version of the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family. Gamers could choose to be an Autobot or a Decepticon, obtain different warriors, and pit them against one another in various challenges and battles to gather Relics and Energon.

It was announced on December 16, 2014 that the game would begin a phased closure immediately, fully closing on January 31, 2015, without ever having left beta testing.[7]

The gameplay was slightly similar to other multiplayer battle arena games such as Dota 2 or League of Legends; however, there were no lanes or creeps, and the game was played from a third person perspective. Players picked from a roster of warriors and went head to head in battles to capture points or to annihilate the other team. Although the game featured several Prime characters in minor roles, new introductions to the Prime mythos such as Prowl and Switchblade took center stage.
