Is there a Transformers RPG?

I am also preparing to GM a Transformers campaign at some point in the future, using Mechamorphosis. One thing I can't seem to figure out is how to stat Optimus Prime's two secondary components - his trailer/battle platform and Roller. That's about the only thing I've found so far that can't be done easily with the system.

I'd say just give him a few levels in the Controller class. You'll have to slightly adjust the stats for his mechamorph companions, but they'd still fit into that mold pretty easily.

You can also grab Mechamorphosis in PDF. It's an excellent base for a Transformers RPG using the d20 rules.

I've got the Mechamorph pdf. I've looked through it a few times, think its neat, but never had a strong enough desire to organize a game for it.

I considered the Controller option, but, somehow, it doesn't fit my vision of OP. He is nowhere near as dedicated to his "companions" as the two obvious controllers - Soundwave and Blaster.

I think I'll handle it like this: his normal alt mode priority would be 2 (semi-trailer); in order to accommodate the trailer/battlestation, I will increase his alt mode priority to a 4. Roller will be his "special power" - a Link [Primary]. Even though links are supposed to be small, I think a medium Roller wouldn't be out of line, since it has no combat capabilities.

So, in the end, we have this:

Optimus Prime
Male Personality Autobot (ahem... Exile... yeah, right) Soldier 20
Gargantuan Transformer
Priorities: Alt Form Design 4, Form Feats 1, Ability Scores 5, Special Power 3, Gear 2

How does it look? Most of his ability points would go into Str and Con, then Wis and Cha (although I'd argue the Matrix grants him a huge Wisdom bonus of some sort).

have a look around; my gf ran a transformers game and came across an optimus class and a megatron class that represents them perfectly.
