About the game
The fastest robots in the universe have converged on Velocitron to race in the legendary Speedia 500 for the right to rule the planet. This year’s competition promises to be a real rough and tumble affair. So start your engines, charge your weapons, and keep your eyes on the prize! After all: you win, you rule!

Players can convert between bot and alt (or vehicle) modes to better navigate the many roads, buildings, and obstacles that make up each race. The game features four new double-sided game boards, representing the city and desert landscapes of Velocitron. Features - Transformers that convert from Bot Mode to Alt Mode - New racecourses in a “Cybertronian” city or desert style - New elements like Buildings, High Speed Roads, Moving Walkways, Bombs and Jump Ramps - New planning cards to ‘drift’ in addition to the usual program actions - Includes 6 Transformers miniatures in their bot mode - Over 80 different possible race course making for great replayability
