As Transformers Universe continues to be pieced together, one sentient component at a time, Jagex is looking to players to help with the development process. Specifically, to help the studio choose names for two of the classes in the upcoming game.
Two polls will help the company make its decision. The first is over at Transformers Universe's Facebook page while the second is on MMORPG.com. Both polls will continue until 6:00 p.m. EDT on Sunday.
The choices for the Autobot class are Scholar, Engineer, and Counsel, while the Decepticon class has the possibility to be called a Technician, Specialist, or Informer. Players also have the option to write in a name as well. Of course, there are a few disclaimers involved, including this common-sense move: "Hasbro and Jagex reserve the right to not use any suggested name, even if it's a name with the most votes, if it does not fit the brand or is disparaging, derogatory, or offensive."

The Decepticon description on mmorpg.com seems to imply a sort of healer.
The Autobot description on mmorpg.com seems to imply some sort of builder...but could also be a healer/buffer
I find the descriptions so vague that I didn't really know what the role of the class I was voting for was, so I just picked names I liked. Specialist & Engineer.

How about no classes? I am soooooo tired of clased-based MMOs.

Go with a class-less, level-less system. Make the game skill-based instead.

@Sean D
I think they should probably do something like Final Fantasy XIV and make the weapons define your abilities.
If they don't do that. I can only offer them one other piece input.
Make it like:

and

Or go HOME Jagex!
They already get points because they didn't use Michael Bay Transformers designs. I hope they don't spoil it, they've been given a license to print money with this IP.

Interesting. Looks like the design aesthetic is anime.stylized versions of the real Transformers instead of those abominable bayformers.

I wrote in my own..
Autobot Sentinel
Decepticon Enforcer
Though I do think a classless system would be best. Either that or an RPG setup where you can choose weapon specializations and use guns, blasters, physical weapon or choose to have your weapons reflect your vehicle form like missiles/bullets if you are a plane or helicopter.
