Jagex has fully revealed the two newest additions to the Transformers Universe MMO game. Up first is Outsider who is an Autobot and has a very retro alt mode and then we got the infectiously named Pandemic on the Decepticon side.

The first warrior on the scene is Autobot Outsider. Beaming in and out of battle in the blink of an eye, Outsider utilizes unique teleport abilities to dodge bullets with his tactical ingenuity. Don’t let his 60’s style fool you, this Autobot isn’t as peaceful as he looks.

The second warrior to slither in is Decepticon Pandemic. This warrior has a fighting style that is infectious! Taking pleasure in poisoning anyone not blessed with his own sharp style, this snake like Decepticon sinks his fangs into his enemies.

They have also uploaded a very lengthy gameplay video featuring both Outsider and Pandemic. The video has been embedded for you.

There really need to be more wide release van Transformers. I used Towline to make Reflector once (news van = spy), and I really wish he'd been more substantial.

Need a little more help decided who you want to side with in Transformers: Universe? Jagex has released two videos with Optimus Prime in an Autobot Introduction video explaining the urgency in stopping the Decepticons and Megatron in a Decepticon Introduction video laying out his plans for the Autobot's destruction. You can join the war at Transformers: Universe.

Pretty neat. These videos really, really make Transformers Universe seem like a prelude to TF: Prime (even though that's not entirely the case, I believe).

I like how much they've taken from Prime. The voices here are spot on, and the designs are looking pretty cool.

This might finally at long last be our answer to when and how the Transformers came to Earth in the Aligned continuity!!! :KREMZEEK:

No we don't. That game never showed us what happened after they went through the space bridge portal.

Not when there's plenty of official media that points to the contrary.

Official canon states that they did not go straight to Earth when they went into that portal. Their first stop after exiting the portal was Velocitron. Then Junkion. Then Solus Prime's tomb. Then back to Junkion. Then Aquatron. Then who knows where else they went before reaching Earth.

Even the following official FOC timelines state they went on a journey, and that they "eventually", not "immediately", reach Earth:

Something a little different from Transformers: Universe, the MOBA game by Jagex - an interview with the ears behind the music! Check out below some extracts from this interview with James Hannigan, who also scored the videogames for Lord Of The Rings, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs and Command And Conquer among others, on Examiner.com.

Let’s first talk about your recent work on the new “Transformers Universe” game. What inspired you to get involved with the project? What has impressed you most about working on this game?

JH: I enjoyed Transformers as a child and I’m just one of those people who finds it difficult not to get excited by large, warring robots. I particularly like how they’re partially organic as well and have such distinctive personalities. Basically, I’m a sucker for the mythic theme of ‘good vs. evil’; not to mention being a sci-fi and fantasy buff in general.

[...]

Did you also take some inspiration from the music that composers such as Steve Jablonsky and Brian Tyler wrote for the films and animated television series that would help make your score fit in the Transformers Universe musically?

JH: Not specifically, although I love the work of those composers. I was merely trying to, on one level, create music that fit into the wider world of Transformers (which is already very varied across film and television over decades now) but with a new dimension as well. Some of the music of Transformers Universe is pretty harsh, grinding and mechanical, yet at other times it can be quite minimal and ethereal. The team at Jagex have also been working on music, and their output is also varied, a reflection perhaps of the fact that the Transformers themselves have wildly different personalities.

[...]

What were the recording sessions like?

JH: Very nice and we recorded the Philharmonia at Abbey Road Studios in London for some of the music. It is always a humbling and breathtaking experience to have your music performed by a full orchestra and the level of musicianship among players in London is truly outstanding.

Will a soundtrack album be released?

JH: Very possibly, but I have no details.

Anyone else disappointed that there aren't more classic characters in this game?

those legs do not look good on the rest of that prime.

I would buy that Megatron figure in an instant. Why can't we getting this as a Generations voyager?? :-(

Seriously... it combines the best elements of Animated, WFC, and Prime. I love it.

Definitely liking how these work as pre-TF: Prime designs for Optimus, Megs. and Bee.

Posted by Megatron Wolf on October 20th, 2014 @ 1:26pm CDT

to bad megatron didnt look like that in prime & the movies, the head needs work but the rest looks great. Prime looks good too except for the legs, take movie primes legs & the torso from this prime & thats pure win.

Re: Transformers: Universe Outsider and Pandemic Fully Revealed (1615347)
Posted by Optimizzy on October 20th, 2014 @ 1:35pm CDT

Overall I don't like them. I'm not a fan of the super lean designs. Prime looks way too top heavy. Megs, on the other hand, looks good. Don't care for the head but the body looks great. Better than prime megs

Megatron's head is a bit too generic for my tastes.

Megatron, looks amazing and Prime is the back slap king.

Not a big fan of optimus :-(

.Give me beast hunters over this any day.

The rest are cool.

P.S. he looks somewhat like the beast hunters version.

Posted by MasterSoundBlaster on October 20th, 2014 @ 9:32pm CDT

It's like Prime, Animated, and Bayverse all came together and made a baby... A surprisingly good looking baby. I'm actually digging their take on Bumblebee, looks are better than his Prime counterpart even if it's just a few cosmetic changes.

LOL thats what i thought at first seeing him

Although i feel he should have more guns on him or just a tripled barreled minigun and maybe add a bullet cigar.

Yeah i like Hound except for the fat part but i can forgive that because he is a bad ass character.

Edit: Also reminds me of Master Chief especially with the orange visor thing above his eyes.

that terrorcon combiner somewhat reminds me of a mutated bruticus due to the fact he has a rotor blades on one hand and has missile launchers on his back.

I'm pretty sure that's Brawl, when I saw him in-game I remember thinking "why is his head red?"

Metro Prime wrote:Dreadwing, is that you?

No. That's Switchblade... I think, Switchblade's head is the only part of him you see in-game.
