The Transformers universe has been somewhat of a reopened gold mine as of late. A brand new Transformers MMO has been announced for Asia, North Africa, the Middle East and Russia, there are brand new toys in the shops and lest we forget the brand new, Michael Bay Transformers movies that have divided opinion (I personally enjoyed them), and all the merchandising that comes with them.

Quite often modern gaming makes me so angry, I’ll be sitting at the computer with sweaty palms, grinding my teeth down to little dentine stubs. I actually thump out most articles using clenched fists: hammering [...]
