The Essence of Transformers
The rules will be familiar to any D20 or D&D player but streamlined making it easy for new players to learn. Other Essence20 games add value as well (did someone say Cybertronian spellcaster?). The rules are easy to customize - we allow the vehicle alt mode size to match actual vehicle size and use the resistance/immunity size difference optional rule from Power Rangers. Thr artwork is outstanding as well.

Transformers RPG
I think this is a great game! I am fairly new to RPG's. I have played D&D a handful of time and I was the DM for one campaign. I recently ran a game of the Transformers RPG to great success! Everyone had a great time. This game is better than D&D in my opinion! It's way more flexible than D&D and much more straightforward. My brother, who's character converted to a helicopter, said being able to fly was amazing! Weapons are switched out at the beginning of every mission/scenario unlike D&D where you are stuck with your weapons the whole time. Overall, the Transformers RPG is a smooth, flexible, rewarding system with a wonderful theme. If you are interested in RPG's and you like Transformers, you must get this game! With all that being said, there are some minor mistakes a few rules that are a little unclear. I am sure a second edition will fix all of those. The scenario included in this book is just... ok. I hope they publish a book of just campaigns will different difficulties and lengths. Great game!
