Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery...Mechamorphosis, a world of devastatingly powerful robotic warriors that hide among us as cars, jets, and everyday objects. Some are terrorist aggressors, enacting evil schemes to dominate human kind. Others are self-declared defenders of the human race, fighting their mechanical foes and avoiding the military forces of the fearful and desperate people they are trying to protect.
Their battles rage from hidden desert bases to active volcanoes, from the depths of the sea to the frontiers of space. In Mechamorphosis, the warrior doesn’t pilot the robot; the warrior is the robot.

Yea, because the most overused element in D&D is a solid choice, especially when its opponent is psionic based.
Always get fire resistance when playing D&D. You'll become immune to 95% of the energy attacks out there...
Oh and Trollking, Wizards created the D20 system, however if you'll spend 1 MINUTE LOOKING AT THE DAMN LINK, you'll see it's not Wizards creating this game.

1. I can name at least 10 companies that use the open source licence, as well as half a dozen writers who are friends of mine who work with it. While wotc set it up, they ain't the only people to use it. In this case, it is fantasy flight games, a pretty good d20 company.
If you want, I can put a link on the d20 licence.
2. I actually got the book, and I wouldn't posted the thread if it didn't work well. I was surprisingly impressed on what they did and how well it works. I've seen other beer and pretzel transformer games, but haven't seen one of similar quality.
3. One of my biggest gripes about freeform gaming is that often it leaves you totally at the mercy of the organizer of the games. Having the stats that are reasonably logical help alleviates that.
4. If there is enough interest, I'm thinking of running a game. Right now, I'm still plugging away at reading.
5. I am seriously looking forward to the conversions

Since you clearly are familiar with d&d thought you'd realise that my reference to a fire-wielding creature applyed to the fact that I'm a troll and the only way to permanently kill a troll is through fire or acid.
I simply do not like the d20 system and I'm aware that many different groups use the system. Mechamorphosis and most of the others that use it are not apart or remotely connected to wotc beyond the use of d20 system(better find a different word than system or I'll wear it out, lol)
I'm thrilled that there is a game that seems to be inspired by tf but, it just seems that like d20 is over used. It doesn't always benefit a game to use a system that is made to be used any rpg company. Only benefit I see is that you'll always know how to use the system.
Anyway enternalshades let us know whether or not it a good rpg.

D10 and D20 both have their own advantages and problems.
D20 is a bit on the overally simplistic side but at least it's easy to learn.
I think D10 *or White Wolf* if you will, makes it a bit easier to create charecters too suit a certain purpose or idea. But at least they tend to have major disadvantages where their strengths are not.
Anyway both are not bad just depends on what I want to play.

I've just found that most D and D gms regardless tend to suck.
At least with most people I've play White Wolf games with there has been some decent story and not just hack and slash and save the queen.
But that is arguably more GM's fualt than anything else.
That and I stopped playing D and D in high school. Though seen it played alot since.

I highly doubt you'd be able to emulate transformers with white wolf.
It is the land of the nihilistic rail road, and it just doesn't fit.
