• Run and avoid obstacles while killing Decepticons. Your character has three different attacks: a ranged attack using the specific gun that your Dinobot has equipped; a melee weapon that can do short range attacks; and transforming from a car back into a robot to unleash powerful melee attack. Melee attacks will always be stronger than ranged attacks.
• Damage enemies while they are in the car form. They cannot harm you while in this form. You can either shoot them or transform into a vehicle and ram them to start a melee attack.
• Smaller Autobots can change into vehicle form to drive beneath some enemy attacks.
• Equip colossal melee weapons to increase damage from hand to hand combat. Using swords, hammers, axes, etc. can result in massive damage.
• Equip ranged weapons (fire rifles, cannons, rockets, etc.) to damage enemies at a distance. You can fire a ranged weapon to help lower an enemy’s health even in missions where the objective is to use your melee weapon, however make sure to finish them off with a melee weapon so it will count.

Each Autobot has a special ability specific to that character.

Bumblebee: Has a chance to collect more than one Energon Pack from a single enemy.

Optimus Prime: Has increased melee power and critical hit chance.

Hound: Has increased defense.

Crosshairs: Proficient with ranged weapons.

Drift and Grimlock: Earn 50% more Energon Shards after each mission.

• There are six different Autobots that can be played, including Optimus Prime, Hound, Drift, Grimlock, Bumblebee and Crosshairs. Each character has different ratings in Hit Points, Melee and Ranged. You will start out with only Bumblebee and can unlock most of the other characters by earning stars for completing missions. Each new character costs ten stars.
• You can increase an Autobot's stats with new gear. Gear can be purchased with Cargo Packs, which in turn can be purchased with Energon Packs. The most common Energon is Blue. Green Energon Packs are uncommon, and Rare Energon Packs are rare. The rarer the packs used to buy Cargo, the better the gear. Gear can also be upgraded and leveled up with Energon Shards that are given as mission rewards.

• Use your car form to avoid most of the Decepticon attacks. For example, the continuous laser and energy shots will not hit you while in car form.
• Use a well timed dodge mixed with a melee attack when facing a charging melee enemy.
• The Scout may look small but he is powerful. Watch out for his charging melee attack.
• The Gunner fires powerful ranged weapons at you as you battle your way down field. Avoid his attacks and move in close for the kill.
• The Beamer fires a concentrated energy weapon. Do not cross his beam. Multiple Beamers are a dangerous situation.
• The Miner carries explosive mines. When he drops them in your path, jump to avoid them. If you let them remain for too long they will lay down a group of devastating mines.
• In some missions, Lockdown will appear. Avoid his rifle and laser sight before moving in for a crushing blow.
