Horizon: Mechamorphosis

Rating:
Summary: A good Transformers-style RPG, but NOT a self-contained RPG.
Review: The book's probably the closest thing we'll ever get to a Transformers role-playing game, but it unfortunately requires the D&D rulebooks to play the game. This is kind of disappointing since the back of the book claims that it's a "complete, self-contained" RPG. Requiring additional rulebooks is hardly complete or self-contained. It's great as a campaign setting, but it's not a stand-alone game. There are also some unfortunate editing errors, in the layout, grammar, and rules presented in the book.

That being said, it's a pretty good book for only $15 and it includes rules to play just about any kind of Transformer ranging from a G1 character to Headmasters and even to Beast Wars. If you've ever had any interest playing a Transformers RPG and are familiar with the d20 system, this book is entirely worth picking up.
