Prime VS The Zombie Cons
Prime VS The Zombie Cons is an online game tying in with the Kre-O toyline. It was made available on Hasbro's web site in 2011.
Plot
Optimus Prime is tasked with single-handedly defending Phoenix from a horde of incoming Zombie Cons. The other Autobots occasionally para-drop supplies to assist him.
Gameplay
The game is a side-scrolling shooter, in which the player moves Optimus using the keyboard and aims using the mouse. Optimus is limited to the area between the Phoenix sign and a large puddle of unidentified green liquid over which the zombies approach. If the zombies get past Optimus and reach the other side of the play area, some portion of the Phoenix population is zombified and Optimus will find he has zombies coming at him from both directions.
Optimus wields the traditional zombie-fighting weapons — a pistol, a shotgun, a submachine gun, a heavy machine gun, and a chainsaw bayonet attached to a non-functional pistol. There are no limits placed on the amount of ammo Optimus can carry, but each weapon has a clip which forces Optimus to spend time reloading when it is exhausted. Optimus starts with 100 "spark", which goes down when he's hit by a zombie, and up when he grabs a health pack.
The zombies come in waves, and have four types: slow-moving legless crawling zombies, slow-moving organic zombies, faster-moving walking zombies, and two freakin' zombies built into a car.

Notes
- The zombies resemble Shockwave minus his helmet. It's unclear why, but it's possible it's yet another of Shockwave's experiments run amok.
- There appear to be two versions of the game, each with slightly different sounds. The version at Hasbro.com uses a standard gunfire sound for the pistol, uses a grunting sound for when Prime is attacked, and plays the sound of a woman screaming whenever a zombie reaches Phoenix. The KRE-O Nation version gives the pistol a laser sound effect, uses an impact sound for when Prime is attacked, and omits the screaming. The "Play again" button for the Hasbro version links to the KRE-O Nation version.
