Developed by UK studio Coatsink and family-friendly publisher Outright Games, Transformers: Battlegrounds is set to bring a new take on what a Transformers game can deliver.
The official game page details the Transformers: Battlegrounds plot as follows: “As evil Megatron closes in on the Allspark, Bumblebee and the Autobots need a new commander to help save Earth – you! Assemble your squad and roll out for a battle that will rage from Central City to Cybertron… and even to the local multiplayer arcade! More information to follow soon.”
