Transformers: Autobot Nintendo DS First Look

Gamespot has reported on a first look at Transformers: Autobots for the Nintendo DS, one of two DS games, other being the Decepticons. Game story is focused, like the movie, on claiming the Allspark. Gameplay is third-person, mission based in a 3D city, same idea as the next-gen games. There are some RPG elements such as leveling up based on experience that will add abilities and attacks. Also can scan vehicles so can change into them. Also can tweak player color scheme.

The game will also have local wireless play for up to 4 players in deathmatches and other games. For Nintendo Wi-fi (internet play), there is the "AllSpark Wars" where can download daily missions. Completed missions are tracked by a server that measures performance of the two TF factions. Not sure if that means vs play or not. Doesn't sound like it.

Control is done via the touch screen for actions such as scanning and transforming. Graphics are described as "solid and have a good look to them" and the audio is same. The article says the games are coming out in June.

Update: Hasbro press release on the game is here. I noticed that the release date is listed as 6/29/07 which is the Australian and more or less the Korean release date. So not sure if that is a typo or not.
