Furthermore, 32 units are support units who only have a brief bio and image of that character, in-game providing certain bonuses in battle. During the fighting the characters gain experience, and Transformers' stats increase with their level. You can also block the attack of the enemy. The battle takes place according to the following rules: each turn in combat gains points that can be spent on one of seven different attacks, which from requiring one point to punch to super-attacks that need to accumulate points over a few turn. When the characters attack each other, the battle mode uses three-dimensional graphics to display the turn-based combat. For story sections, an image of the character appears on-screen along with their dialog in both written and spoken form.

The standard gameplay is similar to that of Transformers G1: Awakening - there is a flat map, broken into squares, around which the player and computer take turns moving their characters.
