Rating Summary
This is a third-person shooter, based on the Transformers franchise, in which players assume the role of Autobots and Decepticons during a time of civil war. Players use laser blasters, flamethrowers, and rocket launchers to destroy enemy robots in frenetic melee-style combat; some playable characters can also impale enemies or execute close-range stealth moves (e.g., punching robots in the head). Realistic machine gunfire, explosions, and battle cries can be heard throughout, and enemies often explode into pieces when defeated. Cutscenes depict additional violence: robot soldiers getting executed with a laser gun; a restrained character getting beaten. Enemies sometimes emit blood-like effects when struck; a few environments depict dead robots impaled to walls or lying in pools of blue/black liquid.
