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. |

• Set TC Offset X to 563 and Y to 221 to fix alignment issues on the edges of the screen.
• Set skipdraw to 4 to fix blurry screen, luminous character shadow and other bugs. • Most shadows only work with software mode. • Some post processing effects like fog don't work. • Ground that's near you has rendering bug. • D3D11 > OpenGL > D3D9 in terms of graphical glitches, but OpenGL has better colors. • Use Alpha fix with D3D11 to remove stripes. • Use Disable Depth Emulation fix with OpenGL. • -1 EE gave me a speedup without side effects. • Disable MTVU when loading into game. In-game it can be turned on again for more fps. |

Trivia
- Original names: 트랜스포머 (SLKA-25175)
- Also known as Transformers Armada: Prelude to Energon
- Not to be confused with The Transformers: Call of the Future (known as just Transformers) and Transformers: The Game.
- The game has a built in 16:9 widescreen mode that results in a larger portion of the world being visible. Enable it in the main menu Options. The downside is that the HUD and menu elements appear stretched.
Known Issues
Game does not load
- Type: Note (not an issue)
- Description: The game gets stuck in a black screen after starting a new game or continuing an existing one.
- Workaround: Go to Emulation Settings/Speedhacks and disable MTVU.
Cannot move right/backwards at full speed
- Status: Active
- Type: Serious
- Description: When trying to move right/backwards while looking forward, the character does not move at full speed even when the analog stick is fully pressed. Moving left/forwards while looking forward does not exhibit this bug. Even when reversing the X/Y axis on the stick, moving right (stick fully left in this case) at full speed is not possible. Changing the joystick sensibility has no effect either. Observed on Linux, OnePAD 0 1.3.0 and OnePAD 0 2.0.0.
- Workaround: When moving right/backwards, move the stick slightly towards the diagonal.
Very dark screen during Powerlinx
- Status: Active
- Type: Serious
- Description: When activating Powerlinx (square button) the screen is too dark, almost black, making it impossible to see.
- Workaround: No known workaround.
3D anaglyph blur effect.
- Status: Active
- Type: Serious
- Description: The textures are misaligned and are in the wrong position.
- Workaround: Config > Video (GS) > Turn on HW hacks checkbox. > HW hacks > Skipdraw range 1 to 1.
Black vertical bars flicker.
- Status: Active
- Type: Serious
- Description: Multiple black vertical bars flicker on your screen.
- Workaround: Config > Video (GS) > Turn on HW hacks checkbox. > HW hacks > Disable Depth Emulation.
