I keep thinking of playing a TF game using an RPG system, my two systems that could possibly do it are Palladium and 4E.
Don't bother hating, I'm aware of the thuggish net mentality to both. Anyhoo, I'm sure that some other systems can encompass it, but I wouldn't want something generic. So I'm up for other systems that'd get the action hero metal transformer feel I want.
I just can't help but see a reflavored 4E being fun to use, Ratchet using healing word via healing beams, Wheeljack being an Artificer, Ironhide being the group tank, maybe Bumblebee or Mirage being a Rogue.
Throw in Generic Decepticons, leapers, Rumble and Frenzy as Artillery types.
It just feels like it'd work.
Any constructive thoughts?
I'm defiantly up for it. I only have a finite amount of the 4E materials, but I'm very interested in learning. Also I love transformers!
In terms of other systems I don't know palladium at all. I know Savage worlds, and I have GURPS 3e and GURPS 4e lite.
So assuming the use of the D&D 4E system, how would you do character creation? Will we be taking well known autobots or can we make our own?
I'm up for any 4e game.
Giant robots are a plus!
It would be fun to reflavor the current classes... though I have to admitt I only have faint memories of the cartoon from the 80s and the newest movies (for good or bad). But I'm willing to read up on whatever's needed.

well if this does happen, I would be happy with either OCs or FCs (original or feature characters)
Reflavoring the classes will be the most necessary part of the game, for instance
Jazz-
Parkour When an enemy Jazz has engaged(cursed) dies, Jazz may shift 3 spaces.
Something like that to replace Misty Step for Warlocks.
How many players are you looking for?
I don't think I can join in, but I do want to point you towards Horizon: Mechamorphosis, which is a d20 system specifically designed for Transformers games.
I'm not sure if the rules are online anywhere, but the majority of them are OGL so it's quite possible.
