The only playable character here are Optimus Prime, Bulk Head, Bumble Bee and Prowl. Each has its own distinct abilities which prompts the users to often switch between characters inside the game. These are some of the screenshots I've taken from the first part of the game which will further explains how the game play is like:



This is the switch to Bulk Head in Mission mode. He is able to block enemy attacks and pounce through obstacles (e.g. breakable walls and doors). He can aim through objects and unleash his wrecjking ball for damage and unlocking doors. He can't jump though.



Bumble Bee's ability in Mission Mode is the stingers which is essential to destroy enemies and open up generators and lifts. Bumble Bee has the ability to jump to walls.



Optimus Prime can use his grappling hook to zip up or down through obstacles and use his giant axe to slash through enemies or throw it at them. He can also block attacks



This is Prowl in Race Mode. He can zip left and right to avoid other vehicles in the road and jump up through obstacles. He can also transform and shoot stars at flying or moving enemies. It is said that Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee can be used in Race Mode as well.
