Game description: The war between the Autobots and Decepticons rages on in this intense action game. With defeat at hand, the last hope for the Autobots lies with the powerful Mini-Con robots, the lost Transformers race stranded on the Earth. To retrieve the Mini-Con, the Autobots must head into battle against the Decepticon leaders and their massive new Decepticlone Army. Transformers features fast-paced action with numerous power-ups, challenging enemies, action-packed battles, and intense boss fights against the legendary Decepticon leaders.
The game is based on the Transformers: Armada animated series.

|
• Disable MTVU or game crashes during loading
• Enable Alpha hack to fix some shadows in DX11 HW • Enable 8-Bit textures for a speed boost • Requires a fast CPU This game suffers from different shadow problems depending on your mode of choice. I could only get around 40FPS and overall I found that DX11 HW offered the best speed with the least amount of issues. |
