"Transformers Universe will enter open beta this weekend, Jagex has announced. The multiplayer online battle arena game will be open to all gamers from Friday, July 4.  Players can jump into the game as a Transformers Universe Commander by registering on the game&amp;#039;s website. To celebrate the launch of the open beta, Jagex will host a weekend event allowing players to earn double experience. The Transformers Universe developer will also host a 24-hour Twitch stream from July 5 at 3pm until the same time the following day. As part of the open beta launch event, users can also compete for $75,000 of prizes in special player events.  Jagex CEO Mark Gerhard said that the beta community has been fantastic in providing feedback that has been used to improve the game. &amp;quot;True to our heritage we&amp;#039;ve pioneered a game in which all content can be enjoyed for free, simply through play,&amp;quot; he continued.  &amp;quot;With almost two million battle victories recorded during the closed BETA, our players evidently had the most fun - and success - while playing together with their friends in teams.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been delighted to see teams invent strategies and tactics that we had not even imagined, and can&amp;#039;t wait to see what new players come up with.&amp;quot;  Transformers Universe includes modes for core gamers, casual fans and Transformers enthusiasts. Players can recruit, maintain and battle others with a squad of customisable bots designed by Hasbro. It will run directly in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Chrome, or can be installed to desktops. Watch a trailer for Transformers Universe below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
