A Brief History of Transformers Video Games
Despite the popularity of Transformers over the many decades, it's a bit surprising how few video games based on the franchise there were early on. During the heyday of Generation 1, only four games were released: two for the Commodore 64 home computer system, and two for Nintendo's Famicom console, neither of which came to its western counterpart the NES. After that, no new Transformers games would be released for another decade, skipping the 16-bit era entirely, until the rise of the Beast Wars franchise in the late 1990s. A few Beast Wars games were released for early 3D systems before the turn of the century, only for the brand to slow down again during the early-to-mid 2000s, save for a few one-off PlayStation 2 releases.
With the first live-action movie on the horizon, game publisher Activision struck up a licensing deal with Hasbro in early 2006, granting them the rights to publish Transformers games on all portable and home consoles. Thus, when the film was released the following year, it was accompanied by tie-in game adaptations for every system under the sun. The success of the film and subsequent resurgence of the brand caused the floodgates to finally open, and new software began to be released en masse, with Activision putting out new Transformers games almost every year. This included adaptations of the firstthreeentries in the live-action film series, tie-ins for new shows like Animated and Prime, and the G1-influenced War for Cybertron and its sequels, which would act as the starting point for Hasbro's new 'Aligned' continuity. During this period, Sega also acquired the license to develop Transformers arcade games, and would go on to release two arcade shooters based on the films and two Japanese Animated games utilizing Transformers Cards. Activision's final Transformers game was 2015's Transformers: Devastation, and all the games they had published were delisted from digital storefronts in late 2017 after the expiration of their licensing deal.
No new Transformers titles would be released for a dedicated game system until the launch of Transformers: Battlegrounds in 2020. However, it's currently unclear whether this is a one-off release or if publishers Outright Games and Bandai Namco Entertainment have signed a similar multi-game deal with Hasbro. Certain Affinity is also developing its own game, allegedly titled Transformers: Rise, though a publisher has not yet been confirmed.
That said, most of the brand's game output these days isn't even on consoles at all. Thanks to mobile gaming's rise in popularity and comparative ease of development, there have been countless free-to-play games, augmented reality apps, and activity centers released for phones, tablets and other mobile devices since the early 2010s. Since many of these apps are primarily designed to be promotional tools for a given film, cartoon or toyline, their active life cycle tends to end once their respective franchise has run its course. As a result, most Transformers mobile games can no longer be downloaded, and anyone who did is unable to actually play them due to the shutdown of their gameplay servers. Similarly, several online and mobile games have held limited collaboration events with Transformers, adding Autobots, Decepticons and other elements to their games, but these are equally fleeting in nature, with all traces of the franchise typically wiped after the event concludes.

Canceled games
A game based on Generation 2 was being developed for the Super Nintendo console by Argonaut Software, featuring polygonal characters created using the Super FX chip Argonaut had designed for Nintendo's Star Fox. The game was planned for release in 1994 and was to be published by Takara, but was ultimately scrapped during development. It was rumored for several years that the project evolved into Argonaut's 1994 game Vortex, as both games shared a developer, console and planned release period, with Vortex even being based around a polygonal transforming robot. However, Michael Wong-Powell, programmer of Vortex, told British magazine Retro Gamer in 2015 that Vortex and Transformers: Generation 2 were developed as separate games by Argonaut, with the Transformers game ultimately being canceled.[1]
An educational game based on the Cybertron series, Quest for Cybertron, was in development for Hasbro's ION game console. The game was canceled in 2006 following the system's poor sales. Another Cybertron game was in development as a sequel to the 2004 PlayStation 2 game, but was scrapped after a few months of development when Melbourne House was moved onto a different project.
