I always wanted a G1 Transformers video game similar to Bad Dudes or TMNT/X-Men Arcade back in the ’90s. However, due to the timing of the franchise, this never happened.

But now, you can experience what might have been!

The goal of the game is to play as the Autobots and fight your way through various Decepticons from Season 1. The game features two types of levels: fighting levels and driving levels. The fighting levels are classic beat-'em-up brawlers, while in the driving levels, you must avoid getting hit by bombs by braking at the right time.

You can shoot, punch, or use your special weapon. Keep in mind that using your special weapon consumes energy, so use it sparingly!
