Is there a Transformers RPG?

[blargney the second]

I just came across a site with some episodes of the Transformers, and it occured to me that it'd be fun to try some Cybertronian warfare. Has anybody seen a Transformers RPG? (d20 or otherwise...)

I know I've never seen one. I've always thought that GI Jow would make for a great premise for a Spycraft campaign myself. Just a shame none of my group are really interested Spycraft or GI Joe/Action Force else I'd whip up a campaign where they could do battle with Cobra, The Red Shadows, the Dreadnoks, Iron Grenadiers and the like. Ah well, maybe someday.

Closest I've seen to a Transformers rpg is Horizon's Mechamorphosis d20 RPG:

Officially? No.

Unofficially? Do a google search on Transformers & RPG to find pages of variations using different rules sets (Runequest, Mekton Z, White Wolf's Storytelling system, etc.)

My friends and I designed one some 17 years ago, but all I can remember about it was that we based the system on those stats on the back of the toy boxes.

Cartoon Action Hour RPG had a suppliment that was basically transformers I think. I thin k it was Transbots and Metal Wars.

If you have the original TSR Marvel Superheroes books, you can use the Ultimate Powers & basic books to get it to work.
Race - Robot
Main power - size and shape alteration.

I want to second the Mechamorphosis book. It's a stand-alone 64-page d20 book, and it's quite good. I got it, and I've found it to be mostly satisfactory.

I wonder if any of my LGSs have Mechamorphosis - thanks for the recommendations!

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.
