Video games

But I can't die!... I pressed up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start!

With a brand as large as Transformers, it is surprising how few video games have been produced for it. Until the obligatory live action movie tie-in software deluge in 2007, Transformers video games were largely limited to the Japanese market.

Other

Though not a Transformers game, the Hudson Soft GameCube and PlayStation 2 game DreamMix TV World Fighters, only released in Japan, features Transformers as both playable characters and cameos. Due to characters from at least three different companies being involved, legal entanglement makes it highly unlikely that the game will ever leave the country.

In the '90s, a game based on Generation 2 was in development for the Super Nintendo console, but the project was dropped. It has been rumored that this project then evolved into the SuperFX enabled game Vortex. This is supported by Vortex being made by Argonaut Software (the company that was supposed to release the Generation 2 game), the fact that the game involved a polygon-based transforming robot, and the timing of the release. However, Michael Wong-Powell, programmer of Vortex, told British magazine Retro Gamer in 2015 that Vortex and Transformers Generation 2 were developed as separate games by Argonaut, with the Transformers game ultimately being cancelled.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>

Transformers Battle Universe for the Net Jet features characters from the Generation 1, Beast Wars, Movie, and Animated franchises, belonging to all four instead of any particular one.

The Nintendo Wii U game Splatoon briefly featured a promotional tie-in with Robots in Disguise in North America.
