TRANSFORMERS PRIME

The Autobots’ last stand takes a turn for the worse when the Decepticons introduce their secret weapon: the new Decepticlone army.

As if by fate, a distress signal from the Mini-Cons, the long-lost third Transformer race, blasts onto the battlefield.

Knowing that the Mini-Cons will tip the balance of power, the Autobots and the Decepticons race to Earth.

On Earth, the Decepticons and their army invade the planet with extreme prejudice.

It is then up to the Autobots to save Earth and prevent the Decepticons from controlling the universe.

The player takes control of one of 3 featured Autobots and can switch between them for any mission.

These are: Optimus Prime, Hot Shot and Red Alert.

All have the ability to transform into their vehicle modes, with classic '80s transforming sound effects.

Players have to find and retrieve Mini-Con robots (of which there are over 40), which then function as weapons or equip the Autobot with new abilities.

These add-ons include offensive weapons such as Missile Launchers, Limpet Mines, a Tractor Beam, Electric Arc Guns, Ribbon Beams, etc.; defensive abilitles such as Shields, Armours and Recharges; and Abilities such as Glide Wings, Boost Jumps, and Dashes.

The player must battle the Decepticons and their Decepticlone army through a range of environments including the Amazon jungle, desolate Antarctica and a rugged Pacific island.

Level enemies take the form of uniquely-designed Decepticlones - champions from an army of robots created to serve the Decepticons.

All of the famous Decepticons are featured as game Bosses - including Starscream, Cyclonus, Tidal Wave (as a full-scale Aircraft Carrier/robot) and of course... the Decepticon leader, Megatron.

A classic battle of good versus evil...

TRANSFORMERS PRIME for Nintendo Wii U is currently worth €13.77 loose, €23.77 complete in box, and €48.11 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

TRANSFORMERS PRIME has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For TRANSFORMERS PRIME, loose is €13.77 and CIB is €23.77 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of TRANSFORMERS PRIME is currently worth €13.77 loose, versus €11.36 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
