The battle to protect mankind from the evil Decepticons rages on in the Transformers Prime videogame. Created for kids and based on the award winning animated television show produced by Hasbro Studios, Transformers Prime allows fans to take on the roles of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Arcee, Autobot Ratchet and Bulkhead as they fight through heroic battles against the Decepticons all around the world. Transformers Prime is available now exclusively at Toys “R” Us for Nintendo’s Wii, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS, and will be a day-one launch title for Nintendo’s new Wii U system.

With consumer interest revitalised in Hasbro’s now lucrative IP, Activision once again draw inspiration from the franchise in Transformers Prime: The Game.
Nintendo Life: The long-running Transformers franchise has shifted, morphed and diverged enough to certainly live up to its name since debuting in 1984: the original Generation 1 adored by long-time fans and purists, Beast Wars, a few Michael Bay interpretations and loads of comic books and video games. Much of the fiction's focus nowadays is on the cartoon Transformers: Prime, to which Activision has turned its attention to for a Nintendo-exclusive title that draws on the universe of the eponymous show for a colourful bash-em-up.
From the review: "While the 3DS and Wii versions of the game are exactly the same in terms of the game itself, I’m rating the Wii version a little lower, mainly due to the lack of ingenuity with the motion controls and the multiplayer, each of which could have been done quite a bit better on the Wii version of the game. However, I do still recommend giving it a shot."
