* EvilIsEasy: Compared to the Autobots Version, where they emphasize protecting the humans, the Decepticons version encourages destruction and extends it to the gameplay. The first mission in Tranquility is about taking out 3 police cars versus the Autobots counterpart of carefully taking out enemies and preventing the wanted meter from rising. The Decepticons Version even gives a new way to earn XP by simply destroying the humans' vehicles in freeroam.

Scorponok couldn't translate over to this game like he could in the console, and Bonecrusher was dropped like he was in every other video game tie in except the PSP.

Added DiffLines:
-->'''Create-A-Bot''': You Decepticons just don't know when to quit! Time to show you that the bad guys always lose!
-->''Create-A-Con'': You Autobots are no different from we Decepticons. We might be on different sides, but we're both playing the same game.
To coincide with the 2007 ''Film/Transformers'' film, '''Transformers: The Game''' was released in two halves for the Nintendo DS. One follows the plot of the movie, focusing on the Autobots' attempts to reclaim the [=AllSpark=]. The other game focuses on the Decepticons, and a power struggle that evolves during their quest for the [=AllSpark=]. Woven in amongst both games is a study on how both sides are NotSoDifferent. The Decepticons are shown to have a code of honor, and have some sympathetic members in their ranks, while the Autobots make some rather gray moral choices. Both games also star a player-created character, who's a rookie to the cause, be he Autobot or Decepticon, as he learns what it means to be a member of either faction.
The games feature a lengthy campaign and wide open worlds for you to explore. Notably, the player-created character is able to take the alternate form of nearly any vehicle the player wishes at any time.
Considerably DarkerAndEdgier than the console game, and with a greater focus on plot and characterization, the game is widely considered much better than its console counterpart.
----
!'''The ''Autobot'' portion contains examples of:'''
* ADayInTheLimelight: Ratchet has the smallest role of the Autobots, but he gets to fight Blackout in ''Downtown Blackout''.
* AntagonisticOffspring: Optimus reveals Megatron to have been this, as he killed their father. It unintentionally foreshadows ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon''.
* BigBadEnsemble: Though Megatron is the larger threat, he doesn't take a direct role in the story until he's freed late in the game. Sector Seven gives the Autobots a hard time for the majority of the game in his stead.
* BigGood: Optimus Prime.
* BittersweetEnding: Megatron and the Decepticons are defeated, but [[spoiler: Create-A-Bot has died to save the Earth, destroying the =AllSpark= with him.]]
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Optimus is full of self-doubt and is clearly weary from a long, painful war with the Decepticons.
* CoolOldGuy: Optimus, Ironhide and Ratchet.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: The Decepticons plan to bomb the Hoover Dam to distract the Autobots long enough to steal the =AllSpark= from them unopposed.
* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Optimus Prime.
** TheLancer: Jazz.
** TheBigGuy: Ironhide
** TheSmartGuy: Ratchet.
** TheHeart: Bumblebee.
** TagalongKid: Create-A-Bot.
* GrayAndBlackMorality: Optimus makes some rather questionable decisions during the game, to the point even Ironhide openly questions him. Meanwhile, the Decepticons are really just there to be villains.
* HeroicSacrifice: Bumblebee sacrifices himself to Sector Seven when Create-A-Bot brings a horde of them to the two of them. Later, [[spoiler: Create-A-Bot sacrifices himself to deal a critical blow to Megatron that allows Optimus to beat him.]]
* LeeroyJenkins: Create-A-Bot, who is far too eager to kick some tailpipe. It gets Bumblebee captured and tortured by Sector Seven.
* KilledOffForReal: The entire Decepticon cast bar Starscream, and [[spoiler: Create-A-Bot]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Megatron. Ironhide puts it best when he's freed.
-->'''Ironhide''': Playtime's over kid. This is as serious as it gets.
* TheMentor: Ironhide to Create-A-Bot, and Bumblebee as well.
* OldFriends: Optimus and Ironhide. This is why Optimus warmly forgives Ironhide for his angry outburst.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Ironhide gives one to Create-A-Bot for getting Bumblebee captured... then turns onto Optimus and gives him an absolutely scathing one.
-->'''Ironhide''': You don't really care about ''any'' of us, do you, Prime?! "Protect the humans, get the [=AllSpark=], Autobots preserve life!" All you really care about is beating your brother!
* SacrificialLion: Zigzagged. Bumblebee doesn't die, but Optimus considers him good as dead when he's captured by Sector Seven. Things get far more serious for the plot, even after Bumblebee is found alive and is freed.
* TookALevelInBadass: Create-A-Bot gradually improves in combat until he's willing to take on ''Megatron'' alone.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Starscream appears to give Ironhide a boss fight, and disappears for parts unknown. Ratchet and Jazz are also absent from the final cutscene.
* WhatTheHellHero: See Ironhide's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Optimus, after the latter decides to leave Bumblebee for dead.

!The ''Decepticons'' game features examples of:
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedEvil: Create-A-Con, from Starscream's perspective.
* BadBoss: Both Megatron and Starscream qualify.
* BenevolentBoss: Starscream plays up this angle to Create-A-Con, and actually does treat him well from the start, until his VillainousBreakdown begins to occur. The other Decepticons consider Megatron to be the closest thing to this as they can get.
* BigBad: Despite the perspective being flipped from the Autobots to the Decepticons, Optimus Prime does ''not'' hold this title. It's in fact Starscream whose machinations drive the plot.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Starscream is kind to his protege at first, but let's face it, we all know just what he is.
* BrokenPedestal: Starscream for Create-A-Con.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Starscream when he's about to be executed.
-->'''Starscream''': I won't be the last, Megatron! Some one will ''always'' be there to challenge your leadership!
* DemotedToExtra: The Autobots, if you played their game first.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Optimus Prime is ''not'' the FinalBoss, and is far from Megatron's first concern.
* DownerEnding: While it doesn't bother Megatron too much, he ends the game having lost the =AllSpark= and all of his troops.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The Decepticons are disgusted by Starscream's treachery. Megatron is of a similar mindset.
-->'''Barricade''': Starscream's the kind who would kill you in your sleep! Megatron would have ball bearings to do it to your face.
* EvilMentor: Starscream, then Barricade for Create-A-Con.
* FiveBadBand: One that is affected dramatically by Megatron's status.
** BigBad: Starscream holds the title for most of the game, until Megatron's revival. Barricade holds command for Megatron's loyalists until his revival.
** TheDragon: Create-A-Con for Starscream, Barricade for Megatron.
** TheBrute: Brawl.
** TheEvilGenius: Blackout
** TagalongKid: The others consider Create-A-Con this, until he proves himself.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Jazz gives Megatron a seriously tough time during his boss fight.
* TheStarscream: Besides the Trope Namer, Create-A-Con and Barricade take up the role since they end up working to end his leadership.
* UndyingLoyalty: Create-A-Con learns that having this for Megatron is what it truly means to be a Decepticon.
* VillainProtagonist: The Decepticons, naturally.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Brawl disappears after fighting Ironhide, and Ratchet disappears after surviving his boss fight.
