About the Movie Game

There's a couple of things I want to ask about the PS2 version of Transformers The Movie: The Game.
First one is, when playing as Barricade during the fight against Bumblebee on the second level, each time he reaches a location and starts powering up his blast thing, a small blue dot races off along the roads on the minimap. I caught up to it, but there was nothing there. What is the blue dot supposed to be?
And also, who are the playable characters? I have only played as (for the Autobots) Bumblebee, Jazz, Ironhide and Optimus Prime, and for the Decepticons, Blackout, Barricade, Starscream and Megatron. Are there any others? Like, can you play as Ratchet, Brawl and Bonecrusher?
