Transformers RPG Core Rulebook

The Autobot creation rules give you so many customization paths that I lost an entire afternoon just mapping out my character's alternate mode and combat style. The core mechanics for the war against the Decepticons feel cinematic without being overly complicated for tabletop play.

The character creation system is surprisingly deep for a licensed game, and I love how the rules make my Autobot feel unique. The mission framework for fighting Decepticons is clear and easy to run, which got my group playing within 20 minutes of opening the book.

The combat rules feel decent but the mission layout in the book is a bit scattered, making it tricky to run a smooth session without prep work. I like the core concept of playing as an Autobot, but wish the rulebook offered more guidance for creating a campaign from scratch.
