Transformers (Hasbro Arcade)

Maybe I don't want to.

Transformers is a free mobile game included as part of the Hasbro Arcade mobile app. It is an infinite 3D runner, in which the player must avoid obstacles for as long as they can. There have to date been two versions of the game — the first based on Transformers: Prime Beast Hunters featured Optimus Prime in his third season form chasing Predaking along a mountainous desert road, while the second featured your choice of Age of Extinction Optimus Prime or Drift chasing a Decepticon fighter which resembled a scaled-down Nemesis through a city. The games are otherwise functionally identical. As with the rest of the games in Hasbro Arcade, it was developed by Marmalade Game Studio.

Gameplay

The player is presented with a straight road stretching into the distance, with the player character running along it. Swiping left or right moves the character left or right, swiping down transforms between robot and vehicle mode, while swiping up while in robot mode makes the character jump. Obstacles to be avoided include overturned trucks, overhead signage, and occasionally craters in the road which require using ramps to jump while in vehicle mode. Adding to the danger, Predaking or the fighter will occasionally turn and fire on the road, leaving a small inferno for the player to avoid. Once the player fails to avoid an obstacle, the game ends and the score is tabulated. Energon crystals can be collected during gameplay to increase the end score.

Notes

• While the city version of the game uses more generic signage, the Beast Hunters version includes signs pointing the way to Nevada locations including Tonkin Springs, Goldfield, Reno, and Fallon.
