Notes

• The instructions are in Japanese so we don't really know how to play it until they are translated.
• The back of the game board has a large image of the box art used for series 3 Transformers.
• Trypticon is the only Scramble City Transformer involved in the game - the rest are characters from the 1984 and 1985 releases.
