Good find, Claypool! Personally, I'd go for the TF RPG. That guy's Final Fight idea doesn't seem to use the TF's well enough. An RPG would work because you've got such a large cast already, and with transforming characters, the options for setting up a battle system are endless. All they need to do is everything opposite of that BW game from a few years back and they'll be okay. ;)

I thought the first Bw game for PS/PC wasnt that bad, but yes, I could only imagine what a TF game would look with these next generation systems....*drools*

RPG's are usually better than action games, the stories are better, and they are longer, it would be more interesting to play, I would find it enjoyable. Ya, you've already got a multitude of characters to use so why not?

It would be so much cooler if it was like Street Fighter. Oooooh yeah. I wouldn't want a game where you have to be the Autobots, I would prefer one where you can kick the good guys in with some badass Decepticons.

The bunnies, they give me knowledge it is neat.

Because making mods for Starcraft arent easy, a TF one would be ok, but for something like that a game like Total Annihilation would be more suited for it, the character models are more dynamic and more robotic, plus you got shrapnel effects, and people are constantly making new units for it, theres bound to be some Transformer ones out there. The only thing Starcraft has over TA is the terrain setup and you can actually make a storyline with SC's editor.
