====Gameplay====
Properties in the traditional ''Monopoly'' game are now locations in the ''Transformers'' multiverse. Utilities are computers, and railroads are now forms of transportation. Community Chest cards are now Autobot cards, while Chance cards are Decepticon cards. The four corners - go, jail, free parking, and go to jail - remain unchanged for legal reasons. Houses are now called [[energon cube]]s and hotels [[antimatter]]. The only difference in gameplay besides the name changes is that, upon rolling doubles, one can choose to use a 'special power' instead of moving again. What the power is depends on the allegiance of the character and which number was rolled.
