"Transformers: Open World" will be an expansive, third person open world RPG mod for Starcraft 2 set in the universe of the Transformers movies. While the game is currently truly just in Pre-Alpha, what I want to achieve with "Transformers: Open World" is a visually stunning, atmospheric RPG experience with mechanically advanced gameplay, a huge open world aswell as a pretty large amout of content. Getting the atmosphere of the Transformers movies right is important to me.

Hai everyone,
so, its been a while since the last update and theres a reason for why I have been so quiet over the last few weeks.
Unfortunately, I regret to inform you all that the mod has been cancelled due to copyright issues
I really didnt see this coming, but I guess one cannot always get lucky. There was no specific complaint filed from Hasbro (atleast not to my knowledge), instead, Blizzard decided to remove the mod from the Arcade as a preemptive measure and adviced me to seek an official permission from Hasbro, which I did. However, unfortunately, Hasbro politely declined the request and as such this mod project unfortunately wont come to fruition. Edit since people are digging this up without acknowledging the full context: To clarify this - Blizzard never asked me to stop working on the game. They were merely removing it from the Arcade as a preemptive measure and they were open to solutions. Had Hasbro shown themselves as beeing more positive towards this project, the project could have continued without issue as far as I was told. At the end of the day, due to these circumstances, I decided to end work on this project, since this project was mostly supposed to be a test-game either way.
Future of the project
However, fear not. As stated in the opening post, the impressive engine behind this mod was NOT made specifically for "Transformers: Open World".
The massive third-person open world RPG mod for Starcraft 2 will still happen!
Currently, Im evaluating in what other direction I can push this project, now that it is is clear that I cannot make this a Transformers mod.
Thanks again to all the people who were interested and looked forward to this mod! In any case, you can look forward to the future of this project!

Dang. Sad to see another ambitious and unique Starcraft 2 fail due to development problems - worried SC2 modding will never kick off with every big project falling apart or ending up unnoticed.
