THE ENERGY METERS

Your energy meter appears at the top left. You start the
game with 3 lives. You lose energy with each hit from an
enemy, missile or electric zapper. Each time the meter
runs out, you lose one life. You also lose one life if you lose
a battle or fall off a building. When your 3 lives run out, it’s
game over. So be careful out there!

In battle mode, you and your opponent both have energy
meters. Keep an eye on them so you’ll know who’s winning!

Levels of Play

In each game you must try to survive 5 two-part levels
of play. Here’s a heads-up on what happens in each level.

LEVEL 1: POD SEARCH

Drive through the city in car mode to find 4 pods and
morph them into AUTOBOTS. Here’s how:

• Press the D PAD to drive through the streets, searching
for the 4 Pods. When you find a Pod, drive toward it. When
MORPH flashes on the screen, press MORPH to convert
the Pod into an AUTOBOT.

BARRICADE will do his best to stop you from finding the
Pods. Try to avoid him – if you get too close, he’ll attack!

BATTLE BARRICADE

After you find and morph the 4 Pods, you’ll face BARRI­CADE in battle. Defeat him to advance to Level 2.

LEVEL 2: ENTER HOOVER DAM

Now you’ll travel to the Hoover Dam, where MEGATRON
has the Allspark. You’ll be fired at by missile trucks. Jump
over or duck under the missiles to avoid them, and fire at
the trucks to destroy them. Dash past the electric zappers
to avoid getting zapped.

BATTLE MEGATRON

This is your first battle with MEGATRON. This battle may
have a surprise ending!

LEVEL 3: EXIT HOOVER DAM

As you leave the Hoover Dam, you’ll face the same
hazards and pitfalls that you faced in Level 2 – until
you meet SKORPONOK! You must run past him to
escape to Level 4.

BATTLE SKORPONOK

Now there’s no escaping SKORPONOK. He’s in your face,
and he’s ready to rumble! Can you beat him to advance to
Level 4?

LEVEL 4: HIGHWAY CHASE

The challenge in this level is to dodge cars, along the high­way, and to run BONECRUSHER off the road into the build­ings. To swerve quickly, press left or right shoulder. When
a morphed BONECRUSHER attacks, morph to fight back!

BATTLE BONECRUSHER

Defeat BONECRUSHER one last time to advance to Level 5.

LEVEL 5: BOMB ATTACK

As you head back to Hoover Dam, MEGATRON tries to stop
you by dropping bombs on the highway. Swerve from lane
to lane to avoid them, or you’re in for a trunkload of trou­ble. You can lose a life with only 2 hits.

THE FINAL BATTLE!

Your final challenge is to beat MEGATRON to win the
game. He’s tough and he’s tricky, so bring your best battle
skills. Will good triumph over evil? Will ALLSPARK be
saved? Or will MEGATRON get the best of you?

Inserting the batteries: Loosen the screw on the battery
cover (on the back of the game) Insert 3 AAA-size batter­ies (we recommend alkaline), making sure to match the +
and - symbols with the markings in the plastic. Replace
the door and tighten the screw, then push in RESET.
