As Optimus Prime rushes to its aid, they are ambushed by Starscream but Optimus sends the protoform away with Ratchet's guidance. While in a mission in Brazil, a protoform arrives on earth. Instead, the Create-A-Bot can find different weapons, armor and upgrades throughout the game. The difference is that while in vehicle scanning, you are only limited to vehicles known as light, which is fast but weak, medium, which is fast and strong, and heavy, which is strong but slow, and the protoform cannot scan another form again once it chooses a vehicle. Similar to the first game, you have a custom robot or Create-A-Bot which you can customize during the game.
