The game is designed to give the Autobots a much better roster than the Decepticons. While the Autobot roster has five moving characters (Optimus, Sentinel, Ironhide, Bumblebee and Ratchet), the Decepticon roster has only two (Megatron and Starscream). These characters are mapped to run around and shoot alternately lasers and rockets. The rest of the characters on either roster just stand in one place and shoot mediocre lasers (except for Megs's battle station). The only way to correct this obvious bias towards the Autobots is to put on multiple Megatrons and Starscreams, and that just looks weird. Not that Hasbro will ever see this, but I wrote it up just in case.

Doesn't really matter if they can move or not. I put up 20 barricades against Optimus Prime and the Decepticons won. As far as the number of Autobots and Decepticons in total go, the game is really designed for the Autobots to win. That's why there is an upbeat victory music when the Autobots win, and a sinister defeat music when the Decepticons win.

Designed for the Autobots to win is what I meant by biased. Oh, and the game is now even more biased, as they just added a whole bunch of new characters to the Autobot roster while the Decepticon roster was left alone.

They did? AWESOME! Now I'm going to pwn the Decepticons!
No new Autobots, I just checked.

Yeah, there are. It used to only go down to Ratchet.

No it didn't, it always had Skids, Mudflap, Battle Station Prime, and Battle Station Bumblebee...I even used them the first time I played it, it had it, which was on March 20th:

I even discovered it for seibertron

Maybe you didn't go as far down as avaiable.

I guess not. I assumed the two rosters would have equal numbers of characters.

Yeah, the entire DOTM franchised is biased. The movie has more named Autobots than Decepticons, and the Autobots have more toys than the Decepticons too. If only they would make more cyberverse 'cons then they would expand on that...Why not Starscream's Battle Station?
