Designing Transformers Kart 

I love this concept, maybe a fan could make this a reality

The idea of Sqweeks striking the fear of god into players the moment he appears is hysterical, I would love to see that

Hey, regarding the characters, considering it's a racing game, Ransack and Crumplezone from Cybertron would have felt right at home considering they're actual racers.

If this was real it would be one of the greatest love letters to the franchise

I think something else that can also serve as a “Bowser’s Castle” kinda track is Kaon City, I can imagine driving through Trypticon Prison/Station (if you choose to base this on Animated) as well as Megatron’s throne room, and maybe the Decepticon armory, maybe the big final section at the end of the lap is busting through the highest level of Trypticon prison/station or something.

I really hoped Chicago from Dark of the Moon would make an appearance as either a race course or battle stage and over time the pillars would activate and you would see cybertron appear in the sky as you drive through the ruins of the battle of Chicago.

I feel like theres a lot more potential for more alternate skins, like blue arcee from tfp, nemesis prime, g2 megatron, and knockout could be a jazz reskin (since hasbro can get away eith doing that) also consider the following; grimlock with rollerskates

I can see Runamuck and Runabout as the final reward for a Decepticon campaign mode while Springer and Hot-rod are the final reward for the Autobot campaign. Maybe make it a cheap DLC or something.

Lord knows that I’m gonna be either an Arcee or Knockout main if this game is a reality.

12:28 As soon as Planet Junk was mentioned my Brain like “The Song from movie must be played on this Course! IT HAS TO BE PLAYED”

I can't describe how much I love this

I'm honestly surprised Transformers hasn't had a racing game before, I mean "robots that turn into vehicles", racing to -the death- victory, it's a slam dunk concept! Edit: You mentioned a course where you eventually fall onto Metroplex, but a course where you're actually racing in their city form would be cool too, especially if it's a sort thing where as the race goes on, they slowly transform, changing the state of the track throughout each lap. I suppose this idea could also work with a Gen-1 Omega Supreme.

will say this a million times, only a true fan of something can make something like an obvious cashgrab sound like the most well made video game with an actual soul in it, collecting many iconic places and ideas from everything related to the franchise. Splendid job

I love this, its an obscure yet...kind of an obvious idea that has never been done before? Cant wait for Super TransFormers (super smash bros)

Velocitron would definitely be a nice place for that

It offends me that mirage and hound was not a considered pair, all jokes aside I love the idea and want this to be a thing so bad.

For Jasper Nevada, maybe there could be a section where you enter a ground bridge into the autobot base, just to make it more interesting

An intriguing idea I'd support. But to correct the item at 8:51 the gold liquid from the lagoon is called Electrum. Overall it looks great, though I am a little confused on how the courses would work on both the level from WFC involved with Trypticon in Space would work with ground vehicles and especially the level from FOC between the nemesis and the Ark ships. But I have faith it'll work out somehow

I can not get over how much I love this concept I'm just sayin, if this becomes a project and you or someone needs a modeler I would be so down in a heartbeat

I would honestly like to see Dragstrip. He does like racing and he did challenge Dead-End in a race in the g1 episode Masquerade.

1. I love this, the sheer span of the ideas that reach just about every conceivable TF universe is unbelievably charming and it would be an honest to God masterpiece 2. Why is Lugnut being called Clobber?😂

Wow almost 2 years later and Transformers announces a Transformers Arcade racer Hasbro: hey keyan Great idea YOINK

Love the concept ! Not enough beast wars do so some ideas for you : D ! Optimus primal - optimus prime skin with transtech style altmode Cheetor - blurr skin (like in animated) Blackarachnia - slipstream/arcee skin (maybe airachid inspired ?) Wazpinator - starscream skin Transmutate - arcee skin (funpub inspired) Transmetal megatron - because T-REX ON ROLLERS (whats not to like ?) And the animation would be really funny AND grimlock could be a skin for him !

WHY WOULD YOU SHOW IT TO ME IF I CANT HAVE IT

Characters from Velocitron being bosses (Override, Ransack & Crumplezone along with the Stunticons) of certain courses would be amazing! I'd also suggest that Optimus and Megatron have skins based off different continuities - and for Optimus, he could wear MotorMaster's, Nemesis Prime's or even Toxitron colours like Transformers Devastation. I'd also include Armada Tidal Wave as well as Omega Supreme as tracks. Other tracks could be the city from G1 with the Ark and Mt St Hilary in that course too and RID 01's Global Space Bridge, which warps you to different locations where the Predacons are battling the RID 01 Autobots and players avoid being hit by the attacks between them.

The golden lagoon would be interesting as a battle course, having it start off as a idyllic meadow and degrade into a bombed out wasteland over the course of the game, maybe even have the camera pan over to Beachcomber looking really sad at the end

I still can't believe there isn't a Transformers racing game, it's a no brainer

My dude i like to see override and hot shot in the race they are a litteral fast couple

this is a really fun concept

In the mortal words of Phillip J. Fry, “SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!” … Also, you gotta include Bulkhead!

This aged like fine wine. Hasbro did it. They made a racing game. Cheers to galactic trials!

7:11 Override: I’m the prime (in the sub) of Velocitron, why wasn’t I considered?

Excellent video man! Was a blast and an honor to be able to contribute to this! Such a cool concept!

As much as I Iove Sqweeks, I think a Kremzeek would be more fitting for the Blue Shell. Hope we can see this game turn reality!

The stunticons would be really cool to see in game cause its a racing game and that’s their entire thing

Honestly I would love it if there was a track based off of MECH HQ. Racing around the track is auto bots and deceptive cons while evil humans are scrambling to figure out what’s going on. Who knows, we might see TP nemesis prime laying in the background somewhere. Also had a few more skin ideas, like Optimus prime having a shattered glass skin, Megatron having a full black skin, Knockout having a scratched skin, and Breakdown having his Silas/zombie skin.

I have a more interesting idea: A combat racer in the vein of Twisted Metal and Jak X. Since that genre badly needs a revival. Even though the Double Dash successor is a cool idea, I prefer mine.

As soon as i saw that red doctor race boi...I knew..THIS IS GOING TO BE..JUICY...

Blitzwing’s triple changer would be good for a Modern Mario Kart style as a flying mode and tank mode (and I guess underwater too)

Kinda upset I didn't see HeatWave or Boulder from the Rescue Bots show, but overall, I dig this idea. Really surprised this isn't an official thing yet

Galvatron and that cool black and purple design from IDW could be alternate skins for Megatron Nemisis and maybe his wfc/foc design could be used or put Ultra Magnus there and maybe put in a different character

We need an intense F-zero like Transformers racing game. Additionally, I feel like each character should have stats based on their tech specs. Also, there should be a death battle mode, where each bot has a certain amount of HP and you are supposed to destroy all the bots while racing. Not only that, death battle can have an online leader board of the fastest victory times.

This is absolutely beautiful. I want this to be a reality. Although I would maybe add an extra skin slot for Starscream, just because it feels wrong to see the Rain Makers incomplete

Just by hearing this idea, the Crash Nitro Kart theme song plays in my head

I feel like squeaks could be replaced with artillery/ an airstrike by the faction your character is, some other items could be a force field generator (that lets you get hit once), an emp that acts like the horn from Mario kart, and maybe a item that temporarily doesn’t let somebody switch which character is driving

Absolutely adored the video and how you presented the concept! I never put any thought into it until I saw this video in my feed but it is really odd how there seemingly hasn't ever been a Transformers "Mario Kart Clone". Feels like a massive oversight, honestly. I would love to see this concept expanded upon, since I think it's fantastic, especially with the emphasis on legacy characters/worlds that you put into it. Some DLC characters I can already imagine are maybe a hybridized "TFA/IDW1" Wreck Gar with Rum Maj, since the "swapping drivers" gimmick feels perfect as a nod to the Dare To Be Stupid bit from the 86 movie. For Beast Wars Rep, I'd actually like to see Transmutate and Rampage as racers just because the idea of a Crab Tank driving a motorcycle and vice versa is endlessly amusing/could make for an interesting shakeup to the roster. Really phenomenal job with the presentation of this concept! The enthusiasm for it is infectious and I know I would give anything to see this be made into a reality lol

combinations would be so awesome and hilarious like like Prime riding Grimlock or Shockwave on Starscream

Blitzwing in this game would be a combination of his g1 and animated personalities.

A game like this would be so cool

I would personally love to have the Junkions in there since they're kinda the originators of the whole Switching Places Dealio.

ladies and gentlemen, we got 'em

Funny thing about when you mention Velocitron, the final track of Planet Cup that Autobot HotShot raced in is basically the equivalent of Rainbow Road. There was even the MASSIVE Shuttle Loop in that track.

imagine how bizarre would be if this was real like imagine dragstrip yeeting like an energon cube while on top of brawn💀

My idea for a transformers kart would be kinda like Sonic Transformed where you switch between gameplay styles. You got a Car Mode that plays like a car and the Robot Mode is a 3D platforming segment.

Impressive. Very Impressive. Or ti quote Optimus Primal: " Well that's just Prime!"

Always nice to see people like you giving their own ideas for the transformers franchise, even if some people don't agree with it.

theoretically speaking, you could also do the transformers, animated version of ratchet and the rescue bots version of blur as alternate skins as well

I feel like for recolors the shattered glass version's could be added as well, optamis could also have a nemisis and Unarmored Ultra Magnus colors as well

Man, this would probably become my favorite game if it ever exists. Awesome video!

Honestly feel like it would be better if every racer had a unique item (besides reskins, which get the item from the character) like Optimus’s axe. But also have team items, which a combo would have two team items, but the pair together could have it be upgraded. I also feel like Hot Rod and Optimus should be a pair because it would fit this concept. Optimus’s item would be an axe, Hotrods’s would be fire. Their team items would be a slash from the star saber. But their combined team item would be a beam from the matrix of leadership, like in prime. Bumblebee could probably be Grimlock’s partner instead because of their friendship in multiple series.

YES I NEED THIS

Barricade would be perfect for this game since I heard in one continuity he was a street racer also another perfect decepticon would be the stunticons specifically Dragstrip, dead end and motormaster also characters like Jazz, Prowl, Mirage, Springer, Blaster and Tracks Astrotrain and Blitzwing and maybe the insecticons

How has something like this not been made yet?! This game would be awesome!

Hasbro should totally make a full official game off of this idea I bet it would be fun. Who knows if they could partner with Nintendo and make it. That would be cool

6:20 honestly out of this cast of characters, my pick for favorite would either be Optimus, Obama, or bumblebee (if you don’t get it, in the lineup of characters, there is a image of Obama beside one of them)

6:21 ah yes, my favorite autobot, Obamanus Prime.

Perhaps for the recoloring use the shattered glass versions as well? and well, who says you can't add more characters? even try something fun like mini Devastator after unlocking all the constructicons? same for other combiners.

It would be cool to see like a dinobot dlc, and I feel like they BW cast could work like using their cybertronian modes, oh and a shattered glass skin pack, oh and more DLC maps, like Peru and the unicron battle field from Rotb, or arks awakening from kingdom, so many ideas for this it’s great!

This is possibly the best idea in the history of ideas, ever

Wait no hold on I want Optimal Optimus holding his buddies on his his shoulder, while shredding on a hover board. Also, Unicron should transform during the race.

What if combiners were added? Perhaps they would only have the combiner leaders playable (Unless if it's a 2 member combiner) but their special item would be having them summon their teammates to combine and then the combiners would be like the mega mushroom and then they run over their opponents?

Reminds me of those junkions from the ‘86 movie

It seems so wild that we've never gotten a transformers racing game. This would be amazing to play!

I kinda wanted to see Megatron and Optimus having recolors. Like, Prime could have a black alternate skin (Nemesis Prime) and a white one for the “core” bot of Ultra Magnus. Alternatively, since u gave Magnus his own spot, the other recolor of Optimus could be purple, like his Shattered Glass self. As for Megatron, a white variant (Shattered Glass) and a purple one (G1 Galvatron)

Can't wait for this to come out, you are by far the best transformers content creator (No Offense theorymus)

My fucking wail of despair when Jazz wasn't part of the lineup- I was so sad, man!

I know Cosmos is universally decided to be the ref like Lakitu, but I'd love to race as him too (maybe team him up with Seaspray, idk). I don't care if I'm biased because he's my favorite Transformer, Crash Team Racing has taught me that driving a UFO in a racing game is sick! (Plus, having Cosmos playable as a racer is at least less jarring than having Lakitu playable as a racer) Speaking of which, another funny idea I thought of is the two halves of Sky Lynx playable as well, not only being funny to have the animals riding on the others' vehicles, but also so they could have unique animations when paired together where the briefly combine and strike a pose.

AstroTrain concept: Driving methods: A remote control used by the other one driving him, like a model train or be driven like an actual train, although the one driving him would have to sit in a cart behind him like a coal tender. Skins: I'd love to see for him would be some of the g1 sequel Train robos or the 2001 RiD train team. Drifting animation: I want it to be like that one scene from polar express, or like the holographic tracks from 2001 RiD, where he multi track drifts. In order to make latter drift thing work he'd have to be either a garret locomotive or an articulated locomotive like the union Pacific's big boy.

They should have made this as an official Transformers racing game

For Unicron maybe after 2 rounds he starts Transforming, he turns into his Robot Form, and you're trying to escape him as like pits open and you have to drift around him, maybe a giant inescable chasm opens up in round 3 and you complete the last track inside him, maybe an Easter Egg of seeing Spike, Jazz, and Cliff Jumper being dragged into the lava pool thing and if you hit the object it'll save them but if you ignore them, they well uh. Die. Honestly Unicron is an amazing idea for an interactive Race Way you could hold a whole cup just surrounding Unicron

That's a really cool game idea.

I like Mario Kart and I like this concept, if one day this becomes a reality, I will play it.

i love every part of this EXCEPT for the Sonic Racing diss, i honestly find myself playing that more than Mario Karg

I think Smokescreen or Skids would be a good choice's for a racing game, And you know if this game existed I'd always play as Starscream and Knock Out. XD

I feel like there could be a dlc cup with more characters that just consists of the base modes of metroplex, trypticon, fortress Maximus, and Scorpoknok. All being in base mode of course

The concept of this Is literally the concept of the junkions So we do definitely need some of them here

SRB2Kart could be great if someone decided to try making this a reality with how relatively easy it is to make custom sprite characters and tracks compared to programming something from scratch; the game has origins from SRB2 which comes from Doom, so you can tell that moddability is a strong suit

Wow it's really a good concept

This is truly a good idea if this does become a reality a Chicago battle map where you go into the bridge where Optimus and sentinel fought then you could go into where the autobots planned a sneak attack then have Devcon fire at you from a roof and if you are unlucky you could get slowed down a bit on a rare occasion then a drive destroying the control pillar then you could ramp up across the same bridge with Optimus and sentinel and onto a building then you could drive through buildings with deception motherships and reach some buildings when the the driller attacks the building where you could tear it from a certain point going through the neck area and decapitate the drillers head off (late night thought)

I like that Starscream is with Megatron and I can see them blaming eachother for losing the race

Personally I think for an endgame in a story mode having Unicron (in a tank/ship mode like his Cybertron toy) using a smaller body and Sideways from Armada could be a sick endgame threat. Perhaps a checkpoint-based race to Cybertron's core against them is the final race.

If this ever becomes a reality, I’d love for some other characters like Wreck-Gar and Armada Sideways to get added among other characters and such. That would be AWESOME.

this seems like a really good concept, i would love to see this come alive,.😊

I love your idea , I would love a Transformers Racing video game from Hasbro.

Online would be Cybertronian Datanet, MKTV would be Hall of Records.

It sounds so cool

This is perfect woow, maybe hasbro is taking notes, i was always imagining about great game like Rpg or something that can represent transformers in the gaming industry on GTA level, or even Call of Duty

Well it is very nice

I'll have Wheeljack and Ratchet as my mains just so I can be safe from the EMP generator

My idea of a transformers racing game is where they race in vehicle mode first on flat tracks, but along the way, they must use their robot modes to traverse an obstacle course
