Response
G4 TV's sarcasm-and-sex game review series X-Play gave Transformers 3 out of 5 stars. This review appears to be representative of overall response. "Transformers isn't truly bad, just unimpressive. There are a couple of great unlockables for old-school Transformers fans like the original Optimus Prime and Megatron. [...]  But it's still disappointing that we got such a strikingly average game out of such a cool concept."

Synopsis
Autobots

A Mysterious meteor crashes down to earth and scans a yellow Camaro and was contacted by his leader, who told him to find an artifiact, but warns him to Decepticon drones. The car, Bumblebee, zoomed off and defeated the drones, Scrappers and Dropkicks. Suddenly he saw Swindles and a Dropkick headed for Bobby Bolivia's car shop. He stopped them and was purchased by Sam Witwicky. The next day Barricade attacked Sam, but Bumblebee stopped him while racing from one place to another, defending Sam. When Barricade was defeated Bumblebee had to destroy Decepticon radio towers preventing the Autobots from landing and clear a landing site. Soon Sector Seven found the Autobots. In his new alt mode, Bumblebee took Sam and Mikaela Banes to safety, while Jazz distracted distracted S7. Decepticon drones attacked, however and Ironhide had to rescue him. Bumblebee was taken by a S7 helicopter and Optimus had to follow the Autobot in vehicle mode. However, the Decepticon Shockwave attacked. Optimus had to follow him from place to place and finally kill him.

In Hoover Dam, Bumblebee escaped and broke open the command center doors, but security robots went to sound the alarm Bumblebee easily killed them and destroyed a console. Now he had to destroy cooling fans. After they were destroyed he had to race out of the tunnels they were in and finally, destroy generators. Bumblebee shrunk the All Spark while fighting off Energon drones and Megatron. Finally the war was coming to an end in Mission City. Ironhide rescued Bumblebee from the energon drones and Jazz killed Starscream and Blackout. Suddenly, Brawl killed the small Autobot. Ironhide took revenge, however, by killing Brawl. Finally, Bumblebee killed Barricade and after a long fight, Optimus killed Megatron.

That's one heck of a lot of killing.

Decepticons

The Decepticon Blackout scanned and destroyed a local helicopter and was ordered to destroy the military base in Qatar, then he deployed his partner Scorponok to destroy all of the communications vehicles. Later, Blackout located five computer servers and downloaded information about the Allspark's whereabouts. Soon afterwards, Blackout converted to his vehicle mode and attacked the squadron of human jets. Later, the Decepticons got the info that a human teenage boy named Sam Witwicky had his ancestor Archibald Witwicky's glasses with an imprint of the location of the Allspark. The Decepticon Barricade headed to the town of Tranquility to find him. Later, Barricade scanned a local police car and transformed into his new vehicle mode to find Sam, only to fight off a batch of Autobot drones. Later, he learned that his partner Frenzy was held prisoner by Sector 7 at a power plant. Barricade fought with all his might to free his partner. Later, Barricade arrived at Sam's house, only to run into the Autobot Bumblebee and another batch of Autobot drones. Barricade made scrap metal out of the drones and massacred Bumblebee. Meanwhile, at an airbase, the Decepticon subcommander Starscream laid waste to the area, and helped his comrade Bonecrusher escape the main airfield, while fighting some Autobot drones. Starscream later helped his comrade Brawl escape a tank depot. Later in the city, Barricade had a smackdown with the Autobot Jazz and won. Scorponok destroyed every Energon drone. Blackout had a difficult tussle with the Autobot Ironhide and some more Autobot drones and won. Later, the big bad bossbot himself Megatron leveled the city in hopes of luring the Autobot leader Optimus Prime into a final showdown. Megatron chases Optimus all over the city and fought him. Megatron killed Optimus with a fatal blow. Megatron soon grabbed the Allspark and absorbed it, releasing a massive surge. Three years later, the earth was demolished, and most of humanity was vanquished. Megatron and his army surveyed their conquered domain from what used to be the Lincoln Memorial. Megatron got bored and decided to order his troops to kill off the remaining humans before they leave to conquer other planets. It's not often that the villains get a happy ending.
