- Transformers Monopoly (2007)
- Transformers Monopoly is a variation on the traditional Monopoly game. It is set in a "Generation 1" micro-continuity. In 2007, a Transformers version of the game was created, updated with a special collector's edition in 2009. Dreamwave art features heavily in this set.
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 cubes 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.

The 2007 version of the game had six characters available:
