The game also suffers from a number of strangely designed tasks and poor pacing. Take Optimus Prime, for example. The king of all Autobots and a true force to be reckoned with, Optimus is a giant badass with powerful weapons that could take out a small army. But rather than give players a reason to go out and use his kick-butt arsenal, TT Games neutered the keeper of the Matrix right from the get-go. For the majority of Prime's quests, he spends his missions driving around within time limits to seemingly random points on the map, or he fights bosses that can't be hurt with guns. What's the point in having someone who is that dominant when you never have a reason to let loose with him (especially since destroying things as an Autobot works against you instead of for you)?

That's one of Transformers' biggest mysteries actually -- why do we have primary and secondary weapons if they rarely matter? When playing as Autobots or Decepticons both, most of the higher-level robots you face are nigh impervious to your long-range weapons (especially boss characters). Even when an opponent has his back turned, he can somehow raise his shield to deflect your plasma shot or machine gun. This means that most of the "action" in transformers is played out via brawling; and when you only have one or two combos that with a throw (that are practically identical from robot to robot), things get old real quick.
