ZOMG Transformers MMO!! It's a WoW KILLER!! lolz

My immediate reaction at seeing it was "I'm cancelling my WoW". Not often I can agree that something may be a WoW Killer.
Hopefully it'll be good and worth it. I'll have to cut back on my WoW characters to make time for it.

A Transformers MMO has so much potential - potential to be awesome or potential to be lousy. I really hope they don't mess it up!

I sure hope this'll be based on Generation 1 and not 'Bayformers'. There could be massive potential here. Just imagine if we could choose our faction (Decepticon or Autobot), our alternate mode (Which could very well behave as your 'class'), and customize our bot's appearance (Color, face, etc.), and fight in awesome battles against iconic transformers characters. I MIGHT actually consider taking a break from WoW if it's any good. However I have a bad feeling that it'll be a letdown :(

Transfomers is a wow killer? probably not, I doubt anything could really ever kill Wow off so long as it is being updated, however I think that when Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online is released wow could lose a lot of players. I doubt I will ever quit wow for another game, but I definitely want to try this one.
