Like many brands of its size, ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' has had its fair share of licensed '''video games''' released over the years, spanning multiple publishers and platforms.
With a brand as large as [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'']], it is surprising how few '''video games''' have been produced for it. Until the obligatory [[Live-action film series|live action movie]] tie-in software deluge in 2007, Transformers video games were largely limited to the [[Japan]]ese market.


==Generation 1 games==
==A Brief History of ''Transformers'' Video Games==
*''[[The Transformers (Commodore 64)|The Transformers]]'' (Commodore 64, Sinclair Spectrum)
[[File:C64.jpg|thumb|right|300px|1985's ''[[The Transformers (Commodore 64)|The Transformers]]'', the one that started it all...which only an incredibly small segment of the fandom has played.]]
*''[[The Transformers: Battle to Save the Earth]]'' (Commodore 64)
Despite the popularity of ''Transformers'' over the many decades, it's a bit surprising how few video games based on the franchise there were early on. During the heyday of [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], only four games were released: two for the Commodore 64 home computer system, and two for the [[Nintendo]]'s [[Family Computer|Famicom]] console, the latter of which never came to its western counterpart the NES. After that, no new ''Transformers'' games would be released for another decade, skipping the 16-bit era entirely, until the rise of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' franchise in the late 1990s. A few ''Beast Wars'' games were released for early 3D systems before the turn of the century, only for the brand to slow down again during the early-to-mid 2000s, save for a few one-off [[PlayStation]] 2 releases.

*''[[The Transformers (PS2)|The Transformers]]'' (PS2)
*''[[Transformers G1: Awakening]]'' (mobile phone, Android, iOS)
*''[[Transformers Battle Universe]]''
*''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' (Android, iOS)
*''[[Transformers Rising]]'' (Android, iOS)
*''[[Transformers: Battle Tactics]]'' (Android, iOS)
*''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (mobile game)|Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'' (Android, iOS)
*''[[Transformers Ultimate Allstars]]'' (Android, iOS)
*''[[Transformers: Devastation]]'' (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox One, [[Xbox 360]])
*''[[Transformers: Frontiers]]'' (Android, iOS)
*''[[Transformers Operation Omega]]'' (Android, iOS, iPad)
*''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]'' (Android, iOS)
*''[[Transformers: Forged to Fight]]'' (Android, iOS)


===''Generation 2''===
With the [[Transformers (film)|first live-action movie]] on the horizon, game publisher [[Activision]] struck up a licensing deal with [[Hasbro]] in early [[2006]], granting them the rights to publish ''Transformers'' games on all portable and home consoles. Thus, when the film was released the following year, it was accompanied by tie-in game adaptations for every system under the sun. The success of the film and subsequent resurgence of the brand caused the floodgates to finally open, and new software began to be released en masse, with Activision putting out games on an almost annual basis. This included adaptations of the [[Transformers The Game|first]] [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|three]] [[Dark of the Moon (video games)|entries]] of the [[live-action film series]], tie-ins for new shows like ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Animated]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'', and the G1-influenced ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' and its sequels, which would act as the starting point for Hasbro's new [[Aligned continuity family|"Aligned" continuity]]. At the same time, [[Sega]] also acquired the license to develop ''Transformers'' arcade games, releasing two arcade shooters based on the films and two Japanese ''Animated'' games utilizing [[Transformers Cards]]. Activision's licensing deal with Hasbro ultimately expired at the end of [[2017]], at which point all the games they had published were delisted from digital storefronts. As of this writing, no new ''Transformers'' titles having been released for a dedicated game system since 2015's ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''.
*''[[Transformers: Generation 2 Handheld Game]]'' (Handheld)


===Beast Era===
Today, thanks to mobile gaming's rise in popularity and comparative ease of development, most of the brand's game output comes in the form of free-to-play games, augmented reality apps, and activity centers for phones and other mobile devices. Since many of these apps are primarily designed to be promotional tools for a given film, cartoon or franchise, their active life cycle tends to end once their respective franchise has run its course. As a result, most ''Transformers'' mobile games can no longer be downloaded, and anyone who did is unable to actually play them due to the shutdown of their gameplay servers.

In the '90s, a game based on ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|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 ''{{w|Vortex (video game)|Vortex}}''. This is supported by both games being made by {{w|Argonaut Games|Argonaut Software}}, 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 ''{{w|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>"The Making of: Vortex".

Revision as of 02:48, 21 February 2019

Like many brands of its size, Transformers has had its fair share of licensed video games released over the years, spanning multiple publishers and platforms.

A Brief History of Transformers Video Games

1985's The Transformers, the one that started it all...which only an incredibly small segment of the fandom has played.

Despite the popularity of Transformers over the many decades, it's a bit surprising how few video games based on the franchise there were early on. During the heyday of Generation 1, only four games were released: two for the Commodore 64 home computer system, and two for the Nintendo's Famicom console, the latter of which never came to its western counterpart the NES. After that, no new Transformers games would be released for another decade, skipping the 16-bit era entirely, until the rise of the Beast Wars franchise in the late 1990s. A few Beast Wars games were released for early 3D systems before the turn of the century, only for the brand to slow down again during the early-to-mid 2000s, save for a few one-off PlayStation 2 releases.

With the first live-action movie on the horizon, game publisher Activision struck up a licensing deal with Hasbro in early 2006, granting them the rights to publish Transformers games on all portable and home consoles. Thus, when the film was released the following year, it was accompanied by tie-in game adaptations for every system under the sun. The success of the film and subsequent resurgence of the brand caused the floodgates to finally open, and new software began to be released en masse, with Activision putting out games on an almost annual basis. This included adaptations of the first three entries of the live-action film series, tie-ins for new shows like Animated and Prime, and the G1-influenced War for Cybertron and its sequels, which would act as the starting point for Hasbro's new "Aligned" continuity. At the same time, Sega also acquired the license to develop Transformers arcade games, releasing two arcade shooters based on the films and two Japanese Animated games utilizing Transformers Cards. Activision's licensing deal with Hasbro ultimately expired at the end of 2017, at which point all the games they had published were delisted from digital storefronts. As of this writing, no new Transformers titles having been released for a dedicated game system since 2015's Transformers: Devastation.

Today, thanks to mobile gaming's rise in popularity and comparative ease of development, most of the brand's game output comes in the form of free-to-play games, augmented reality apps, and activity centers for phones and other mobile devices. Since many of these apps are primarily designed to be promotional tools for a given film, cartoon or franchise, their active life cycle tends to end once their respective franchise has run its course. As a result, most Transformers mobile games can no longer be downloaded, and anyone who did is unable to actually play them due to the shutdown of their gameplay servers.

Crossover appearances

Everyone is here!

The 2003 GCN/PS2 fighting game DreamMix TV World Fighters features Optimus Prime and Megatron as playable characters and Devastator as a stage. It was only released in Japan, and will likely stay that way due to the legal hurdles involved with much of its cast outside of the country.

The 2005 PC social game ROBLOX has had two different Transformers-themed promotional events, one based on Prime and one on Kre-O.

The 2015 Wii U shooting game Splatoon briefly featured a promotional tie-in with Robots in Disguise. The event was exclusive to North America and took place in August of 2015.

Canceled games

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 both games being made by Argonaut Software, 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.[1]

An educational game based on the Cybertron series, Quest for Cybertron, was in development for Hasbro's ION game console. The game was cancelled in 2006 following the system's poor sales.

Later, Zachary allowed Optimus Prime's personality (which was backed-up on a floppy disk) to exist as a character in the game Hyper-Fax. Pretender to the Throne!
