Gameplay
For each mission, the user controls either Optimus or Bumblebee using the numeric keys on the device. 4 and 6 steer left and right, 8 jumps or transforms to robot mode, 2 transforms to vehicle mode, 5 attacks or interacts with objects in the location. Optimus has only melee attacks, 5 will deliver a punch and pressing an indicated direction key while punching will execute a special melee attack, such as impaling the opponent on his energon sword. Optimus can also haul himself up onto higher platforms. Bumblebee can melee attack and use his blaster. Pressing 0 as Bumblebee will allow a targeted shot with his blaster, though he is limited to 3 of these unless he can find a recharge. Both Autobots can push boxes while in their vehicle mode to navigate certain puzzles.
Synopsis
After the recent destruction of the AllSpark, Optimus hoped the war was over, but now the Autobots are working with NEST, and the Decepticons have reemerged. A distress call from Shanghai sends Optimus to China, where he discovers the first wave of a Decepticon invasion force. While he is fighting off the troops, NEST sensors pick up AllSpark energy. Optimus recalibrates his internal sensors to track the signal and runs into Starscream, who has recovered another fragment of the AllSpark. Optimus attempts to stop him, but Starscream flies off with the fragment. Optimus has no time to ponder what Starscream's last words "He will see to that!" mean, when NEST issues a code red — Decepticon signatures are converging on NEST HQ. Optimus has to stay in Shanghai to help with the cleanup, but Bumblebee is conveniently nearby.
Elsewhere, Starscream apologizes to The Fallen for his failure to finish Prime, but The Fallen is pleased at the recovery of the AllSpark shard. He instructs Starscream to proceed to the next stage of the plan while he uses the AllSpark to restore... "him".
Bumblebee reaches NEST HQ and attempts to halt the Decepticon advance before they reach the sub-level's central core. He confidently tells Optimus that he won't need Ironhide's help, and begins mowing down Decepticons, but NEST alerts him that Starscream has arrived and is heading for the core. Bumblebee manages to beat his opponent there and seal off the core, but finds himself having to face Starscream. He manages to beat the Decepticon, only to be zapped by Starscream's null ray. While Starscream is still gloating, the newly-revived Megatron contacts him to report that the diversionary attack was a success and now they have more important matters to attend to, such as the Matrix. Bumblebee warns Optimus, who has an idea where they're headed, and plans to look up an old friend.
Elsewhere, The Fallen tells Megatron and Starscream to head for Egypt to find the Matrix, so they can use it to reactivate the Great Machine.
NEST loses contact with Optimus, who is attempting to find Jetfire. Bumblebee arrives in Egypt, and Optimus instructs him to meet Jetfire at the Great Pyramid, though Bumblebee wonders if the ex-Decepticon can be trusted. Bumblebee fights his way toward the pyramid, and Optimus warns him that there's a large energy signature in the area which he believes to be The Fallen. When Bumblebee arrives at the pyramid, he finds Jetfire is already down, thanks to Devastator who has gotten hold of the Matrix somehow. Despite Optimus's caution, Bumblebee defeats Devastator in battle and retrieves the Matrix. Unfortunately Megatron promptly arrives and takes Bumblebee and the NEST soldiers present as hostages.
Optimus arrives and demands that Megatron return the Matrix and hostages, but Megatron boasts that Optimus will never defeat him alone. Bumblebee tells Prime that before Jetfire passed out, he suggested Optimus use his parts. With bits of Jetfire attached to himself, Optimus gains more power, and is able to punch Megatron into submission and get the Matrix back. The Fallen picks this moment to make an appearance, pointing out that Optimus is now too exhausted to resist him. Optimus agrees, but points out now he has the Matrix. Tapping into its power, he unleashes a mighty blast of energy that destroys the Fallen. The Autobots celebrate their victory, though Megatron has escaped and is already plotting the conquest of Earth.

Quotes
"You're beaten, Starscream. I can't say that's unpleasant-- or much of a surprise!"
- —Optimus Prime
"I know you're an older model, but don't tell me your circuitry is starting to fail already."
"Sounds like you're still having a problem with your vocal processors. Maybe I should fix that-- after I've torn them from your smoldering carcass!"
- —Bumblebee and Starscream exchange smack talk.
"Prime, wait! Before Jetfire passed out, he said something about combining his parts with yours..."
"Of course... the fusion should give me enough power to defeat Megatron, but it would surely mean the end of Jetfire. Unfortunately, it's the only way... Forgive me, old friend... and thank you."
- —Bumblebee and Optimus Prime decide to cannibalize Jetfire while he's asleep.
"'The Fallen'... It is unfortunate how apt a title that has become for you, Master. Underestimating Prime proved to be an unforgivable error, but I will make no such mistakes... Now, with the Decepticons fully under my command, our invasion of Earth-- and the final destruction of the Autobots-- will not fail!"
- —Megatron will get you next time, Optimus!
Notes
- Promotion for the game promised you could get help from Autobot and human allies, including Ratchet, Ironhide and NEST, but neither Ratchet nor Ironhide make an appearance. Ironhide and Ratchet only make appearances in certain versions of the game, but not all of them.
- As Bumblebee reaches NEST HQ, Optimus warns him that there's "more going on here than meets the eye". Later, Megatron uses the line "such heroic nonsense" when taking Bumblebee prisoner.
