The Autobot Roster

Here’s the breakdown of the Autobots you’ll encounter:

• Optimus Prime — The main man, the heroic leader. He's all about justice and protecting life, and even Megatron respects him. You'll be driving his truck form and using his Warcry and Dash abilities. He really takes center stage in the Autobot story, so you'll get to know him well.
• Bumblebee — The small but mighty spy. Bumblebee's great for getting into tight spots others can't reach. He's a capable fighter, super devoted to the cause. Look out for his car form, and his Shockwave and Dash abilities. His teammates really look up to him, even if he doesn't realize it.
• Ratchet — The Autobot medic. While he might not be the biggest brawler, he's always in the middle of the action, patching everyone up afterward. He’s got a dry sense of humor, too. His truck form comes with Spawn Sentry and Barrier abilities.
• Sideswipe — Built for speed and loves the thrill of a fight. He's super competitive and will do whatever it takes to win, sometimes even bending the rules. He's all about the sport of it. He transforms into a car and can use Whirlwind and Dash.
• Ironhide — The oldest, toughest, and meanest Autobot on the team, but don't let that fool you; he's got a compassionate side and is one of Optimus's most trusted advisors. He's a soldier through and through. His truck form packs Warcry and Dash.
• Warpath — Loud, confident, and devoted, with a massive cannon. He loves showing off his sharpshooting skills. He's heavily armored and stubborn, always ready to take the fight to the Decepticons. He turns into a tank and uses Shockwave and Barrier.
• Air Raid — Fearless and a bit rash, he dives headfirst into fights just for the fun of it. His main goal is to have a good time, which often lands him and his friends in hot water, but he always gets them out. His jet form gives him access to Whirlwind and Cloak.
• Jetfire — All about science and technology. He believes tech is the key to victory and joined the Autobots because he disagreed with the Decepticons' methods. He's the fastest Autobot ever created. His jet form has Spawn Sentry and Hover.
• Silverbolt — A grim, brave warrior who worries more about his teammates than himself. He's courageous, flies at incredible speeds, and truly believes in the Autobot cause. He'd die for his friends. His jet form offers Shockwave and Barrier.
• Arcee — A caring and supportive teammate, but don't underestimate her. She's nimble, fast, and stealthy, taking down Decepticons before they even know she's there. Note: Arcee is a locked character. You'll need to finish the Autobot campaign to unlock her for Escalation and Multiplayer modes. She transforms into a car and uses Shockwave and Cloak.

So there you have it – your Autobot squad! Get familiar with their abilities, and you'll be ready to roll out and take on the Decepticons in no time.
