Bulkhead has his wrecking ball that he uses to throw against enemies and, being the heaviest of the three, is the only one heavy enough to step onto platform switches that open doors and turn on other devices. He is also the only one among them that can jump and scale walls on his own. Bumblebee has his stingers that shoots electric bolts against enemies as well charge up generators to activate certain devices. Optimus Prime can use his axe to throw at his enemies and can use his grappling hook to climb the red steel girders scattered around the game. Each Autobot has a special skill that is only unique to them. The player will guide them through several different stages while solving puzzles along the way. There are the standard four Autobots that the player can use: Optimus Prime, Bulkhead, Prowl and Bumblebee. In race mode, the player can use either Bumblebee, Optimus Prime or Prowl to race against the enemies or transform to robot mode in order to throw projectiles into an enemy to destroy them.

There are 25 levels in total that can be found in the game, and it has two main modes: race mode and mission mode. Unlike other games based on the Transformers franchise, this one is mainly a puzzle game.

While this game features three-dimensional characters and environments, it mostly plays on a two-dimensional plane where the characters move from left to right or up and down.
