Summary

Transformers Decepticons is a third-person, free-roaming adventure game in which you play a completely new robot in disguise on Earth. Your new robot comes in the classic bad guy colours of black and silver. Because you're a brand new robot, you have the choice of what you want to transform into. All you have to do is scan a vehicle and you can transform into it, and the vehicles range from pickup trucks to fighter jets. Your main aim in the game is to destroy the Autobots and the humans they're defending. There are also side missions to complete, such as destroying as many buildings as possible in a certain time limit (appropriate, considering you're an evil robot.) The Decepticon Version of the game has unique dessert levels unlike the Autobots version.

The touchscreen serves as a map, showing where your enemies are, your missions and your current target. It also shows your experience level and how far to go until your next level. The main use of the touchscreen is the transformation button which instantly morphs you into the last thing you scanned.

Online you can get into deathmatches, play Allsparks Soccer and get into an Allsparks War.

In the Allsparks War you have to join a faction and download a daily mission. The better you do on the mission, the more points you earn for your faction and the more unlockables you receive. The different factions scores can are compared on the game's website.
