Wow. Cool. I wish I had a cell phone. Then I could play this game and beat up all of the Decepticons, and I'd be all like "Autobots, transform and roll out!" And then everything would explode and I would go in there guns blazing and it would be all p-shoo! p-shoo!, and then I'd get a call and my Super Mario Bros. ringtone...no, scratch that...Megaman 3 ringtone would start playing and I'd say "'sup?" and...whoa, I got kind of carried away there.

Anyway, somebody needs to rip those sprites. There's a cell phone game emulator out there, too.

Not bad. Kinda cool.

That looks so SNES, it's awesome.

Wish my phone could still download things. Hell i have verizon so i doubt i could download it anyway.

It's only on cingular

I don't get why these games only are offered from a specific carrier. The website doesn't even tell you which phones it works on. Since it's J2ME-based, it should work on pretty much any CPU/graphics-capable phone that supports it. Just let us buy the JAR file!

didnt someone else post this some time ago if not i must have seen this on another site.?

I'm not a Cingular... I mean AT&T fan at all. It could be because my Dad works for Verizon (in the offices, not the stores), but who knows....

Way to cut your profits in half Glu! Get everyone excited and then blow it!

All that aside, I have to admit that I find the target audience ages interesting, though it does make sense when you think about it.
