Jagex Reveals More Transformers Universe Info at Gamescon
Jagex, makers of the upcoming Transformers Universe browser based MMO, released additional information from Gamescon in Germany today.
While the customisation presented at the convention will offer fans a taste of what is to come within the game, Jagex today exclusively revealed details of one of the much anticipated classes; The Brawler Class.“Players who like to engage as the tank in co-op team play will be drawn to this Brawler Class.

Custom Generation 1 Tech Specs for Omnibots, Reflector and Powerdashers
Here’s some fun news for you – site sponsor Big Bad Toy Store has put up a listing for a set of reproduction Tech Specs for the mail-in Transformers from the early part of Generation 1 – the Powerdashers, the Omnibots and Reflector (all three of him). What is so cool about this set is that the three individual Reflector bots and the Powerdashers never had individual tech specs before – in fact, the Powerdashers never even got names! (These Tech Specs name them Zetar, Aragon and Chromar, names which I am informed come from the European Diaclone / Diakron release)
If you’re a Generation 1 collector and want to give these toys the dignity of their own identity, check out this set! It’ll be the same high quality as previous Tech Spec Repro sets by Atomic Laser, and it is due in September with a list price of $15.99. [Read more…]
