Transformers: Battle Tactics is a multiplayer battle game published by DeNA for mobile devices. It features over 75 characters designed after toys from different toylines, including Classics, Generations, Combiner Wars and Collectors' Club exclusives.

Gameplay

Battle Tactics gameplay is similar to other mobile battle games. Players select four Transformers from their purchased characters to form a team. Players can create up to three different teams. Gamers can choose to battle a random computer-controlled team or a random live player; the other choice is to pick from three different computer teams. The "random" mode also changes slightly under two different circumstances:

If an event is being held, it will become the way to earn League Points, but otherwise remains the same.

If a player fills their Experience bar, it will become the Advancement Mode. Players must win three of their next five games to level up. This mode is the only way to level up, because otherwise players would simply choose the throwaway team in the other mode to win easily.

Once the battle begins, the Transformers will randomly get one of their five damage numbers. These numbers change and become special abilities, depending on whether the character is in alternate mode or robot mode. Players also get three Ability Points every round, which allow them to activate powerups, including a re-spin of a character's number and several different air strikes, among others. When the battle begins, one of the two parties is randomly chosen to attack first, unless a Transformer has a first strike special ability active. Each character attacks once per round.
