- Mecha-soccer is a Cybertronian sport practiced by Transformers in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Mecha-soccer (or football) has a long history on Cybertron. Professional leagues existed prior to the Great War, although amateur league play continues throughout the conflict.
During wartime, the non-professional teams of the Primus League garner the most attention, especially their competition for the prized Primus League Cup. While the Cybertron Premier Division is assumed to be the uppermost tier in the League, non-League teams (such as Throttlebot Wanderers) are apparently recognized and able to compete.
The Decepticon Krok hopes to reintroduce mecha-soccer as a mainstream organized sport after the war ends.<sup class="noprint">[<span title="The material in the vicinity of this tag needs references to reliable sources." style="white-space: nowrap;">citation needed</span>]</sup>
