Battles involve running, blasting, and transforming to outmaneuver opponents. The Ultra Blast attack is a powerful finisher that can turn the tide of battle. Play solo or face a friend in split-screen matches. The game’s story involves time travel messing up the timeline, adding a layer of complexity. Released in 1999 by Locomotive Corporation for Nintendo 64, it has a dedicated following. The ability to switch forms mid-fight and the Ultra Blast move make it stand out in the fighting genre. It’s a quirky entry in the Transformers series that enthusiasts still discuss.

Storyline

With their capture of Predacon commander Megatron, the Maximals are led to believe the Beast Wars have finally come to an end. As they make their way back to Cybertron via an Autobot shuttle, the captive Megatron manages to send a message through transwarp back to his past self earlier in the conflict, warning him of his own defeat. As a result of the interference, history has already begun to change, with some Maximals and Predacons gaining powerful new Transmetal forms. And as the timeline continues to diverge, it remains to be seen how the future will be rewritten...
