==Gameplay==
Similarly to ''[[Transformers Universe (Jagex)|Transformers Universe]]'', every character has both a shield and spark bar. However, players on both teams are able to choose their fighter regardless of faction. (Furthermore, not all characters have an ability/weapon in vehicle mode.) Each playable character also has both a melee weapon and a ranged weapon that can be interchanged in combat.
 
===Game modes===
After the player completes a story mode tutorial as Optimus Prime, they are able to access four playable game modes:
 
* '''Point Capture''' pits one team against another (regardless of faction). The team that captures the most/all points on the map wins the match.
* '''Death Match''' is a free-for-all mode, in which the winning player is declared by having the most kills after the time limit expires
* '''Blade Wars''' is a mode in which characters are limited to using their melee weapons
* '''AI Bots''' is a virtual simulation mode that allows the players to practice any character's' combat skills on practice targets
