I am getting an error

[ERROR] [1357761577.273746553]: Client [/gazebo] wants topic /base_controller/command to have datatype/md5sum [geometry_msgs/Twist/9f195f881246fdfa2798d1d3eebca84a], but our version has [geometry_msgs/Transform/ac9eff44abf714214112b05d54a3cf9b]. Dropping connection.

when I initialize

vel_pub_ = n_.advertise<geometry_msgs::Transform>("cmd_vel", 1);

but if I do it

vel_pub_ =n_.advertise<geometry_msgs::Twist>("cmd_vel", 1);

it works fine ... why cant I do Transform

NOTE: I am trying to work on Pr2 simulator Gazebo..

The reason it crashes is simply because the topic you are publishing to is expecting a message of type geometry_msgs::Twist. So, that's the one to send. Simple as that!

Well then how do I make gazebo Pr2 to expect geometry_msgs::Transform type messages ??

You'd have to modify the gazebo PR2 plugin. But I'd advise against doing that. /cmd_vel ist always expecting a Twist message. If you change that your code will not be compatible at all.
