  • Turn: Rotates your robot 90 degrees left or right, or a 180 degrees U-turn.

Damage cards

When a player takes damage, they draw the top card off of the damage stack.

  • SCRAP: Added into player's hand. Can be removed by either playing it in place of a planning card or repairing at a pit stop. Called "SPAM" in other versions.
  • Instant Damage: Triggers an immediate effect and then is discarded.

Notes

[edit]
  • The game was announced under the title "Transformers Robo Rally", which was also used for its Hasbro Pulse listing.
    • The Renegade Game Studios online listing uses "Robo Rally Transformers" (with no colon).
    • The description for both listings, as well as the rulebook for the game, use the title "Robo Rally: Transformers".
