A few hours ago, IDW Publishing launched a video teaser announcing Transformers: Autocracy.

It hadn't come to me until now. At BlizzCon 2010, Chris Metzen led a panel where the main topic was: "GEEK IS…" — in which Metzen mentioned among many iconic and popular franchises the Transformers.
Out of the blue, last summer, at the BotCon 2011 Chris Metzen and Flint Dille revealed they would launch a online-only comic book titled Transformers: Autocracy.
Could Blizzard Entertainment develop a video game based on The Transformers?
Years ago, Blizzard developed The Death and Return of Superman (1994) and Justice League Task Force (1995). It wouldn't be surprising to see Blizzard Entertainment go back to their roots in consoles games, nor to see them develop franchises other than their triune (Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft).
So, here's an interesting concept to wrap your mind around.
A few years ago, when Blizzard Entertainment was co-developing StarCraft: Ghost, they partnered with Swingin' Ape Studios — popular for their video game titled Metal Arms: Glitch in the System (for GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2).

Blizzard Entertainment acquired Swingin' Ape Studios (May 16, 2005). StarCraft: Ghost was postponed months later, but the 40 Swingin' Ape Studios developers have been at Blizzard Entertainment working under the radar.

1. Next-Gen MMO (Titan)
2. Unannounced Game Title
These are in plain sight for the public to see in the Blizzard Career Opportunities page. So by all means, don't take my word. Go check it out and see by yourself. Here's a screenshot too.
Back in March 2009, I found a Blizzard Entertainment job opening for an unannounced game title. I contacted a Blizzard developer to ask if this job opening was for the Next-Gen MMO. To my surprise, the answer was this Unannounced Game Title was not related to the Next-Gen MMO, and it was not related to World of Warcraft. You can read the 2009 article here.
