      Yes it's niche, yeah the last died a decade or more ago... But I loved them, and I miss them. Sadly I'm no hand at coding (unless someone gives me idiot proof instructions) but I've been a builder on games in the past, Dark Ages of Cybertron, TriForce MUCK back in the day, a StarCraft game that (annoyingly enough) never opened after I had set up all of the Protoss planets... If there is anyone out there that wants to bring Beast Wars back as a MU, hit me up! I'd be more than happy to help out in whatever form I can!

        I'd love a good Transformers MU. G1 or Beast Wars. Or a combo of the two.

          Well, for a G1 game, there's Transformers Universe, it combos G1 Marvel Transformers and the Marvel G.I. Joe storyline in tandem

            I visit there from time to time and they just don't seem very active. It's not quite the theme I'd be looking for anyway really.

              A lot more active than you'd think, granted mornings (relative, I suppose, but before 2-3pm Central Standard it's quiet, then things pick up and go.

                I'll have to check it out. I'll also have to see about digging out my old Beast Wars DVDs and comics omnibus...

                  I remember there was some meta that MASK (The tv show that involved vehicles converting into other vehicles) had ties to the TF/Joe universe; in that the MASK operatives were retired/detached Joes using Transformer technology in their vehicles, and VENOM was some offshoot or evolution of Cobra.
                  The 80s were weird, man.

                    Sensational ran one (BW Mush) that I loved playing on a good couple of years back but it shut down fairly quickly.

                    There's TF mushs elsewhere that are more IDW inclined but I still kinda love the giant robots aspect that gets... kinda lost when you're on a ship or on Cybertron.

                      Recently, there was a Hasbro crossover event into the IDW universe, which publishes the new Transformer comics. It's not really an 80s thing, as far as I can tell.

                      There was a GI Joe / Transformers comic series published by Marvel back in the day. And I'm not ashamed to say that I have the full series in my basement.

                        No need to be ashamed! I have the full Marvel Transformers run sitting in a box in my closet along with most of the DW run. For IDW I've been getting their over-sized collector's editions. I think the IDW series is fun by like ThatDamnGuy said, it's just different when it's not on Earth.

                          And TFU has had MASK at one point as a TinyPlot as a subset of Joe (with VENOM a subset of Cobra), and TFU also has integrated Jem to an extent as well. TFU is the only remaining TF MU* from the 90s heydey of TF MU*s.

                            Did 2K5 finally close?

                              Last time I logged in 2k5 had no one logged in. I don't think it's closed so much as essentially dead?

                                Wow, that's too bad. 2K5 was never my thing but it was the rock of the TF MU genre for a while.

                                  Yeah, I meant more that the entire concept behind MASK was 80's weirdness - not the crossover. Between Transformers meta, GI Joe meta and the idea that MASK is some kind of non-organic bastard offspring of the two... the last one actually makes the most sense.

                                    I really liked MASK. Well not the racing season but everything before that. I'll never forget the year my grandmother asked me what I wanted for Christmas and my answer was, "A Switchblade!"

                                      I loved the toys, but they were fragile as all heck. I remember having the dune buggy that turned into a flying thing, and the egg-shaped robot that turned into ... a ... scooter... that was also egg-shaped.
