    Hasbro announced a partnership with NetDragon, a Chinese online game developer, to release a Transformers-themed MMORPG in Asian markets. While I hadn't heard of the studio until today, they have worked with Disney and on a version of Ultima Online.

    No screenshots have been released, nor any specifics about the design direction of the project.  So unfortunately, no one knows whether this will take inspiration from the classic show or borrow from one of the more recent incarnations. Additionally, while the press release alludes to other territories, it doesn't mention the US, so this game may never be playable stateside. You can read the entire release here.

    Here is a pretty amazing clip of people in Transformers costumes. I once had a friend who did a similar thing as "ZZ-Toptimus Prime". It was spectacular.
