Pronounced like the plural of "Moby," as in Moby Dick, it would be モービーズ

As a foreign word, it would only be written in katakana.

MOBiES is something we made up..it's actually going to be a name of a group....so MOBiES in japanese letters is this " モービーズ " ....is it correct?

yes, I would go with that. It's the closest transliteration to the English pronunciation.

There's only one set of characters for katakana, but there are stylized fonts out there. For a modern look, Japanese bands are more likely to use Romaji, such as English characters. Either is acceptable.
