Run and avoid obstacles while killing Decepticons. Your character has three different attacks: a ranged attack using the specific gun that your Dinobot has equipped; a melee weapon that can do short range attacks; and transforming from a car back into a robot to unleash powerful melee attack. Melee attacks will always be stronger than ranged attacks. Damage enemies while they are in the car form. They cannot harm you while in this form. You can either shoot them or transform into a vehicle and ram them to start a melee attack. Smaller Autobots can change into vehicle form to drive beneath some enemy attacks. Equip colossal melee weapons to increase damage from hand to hand combat. Using swords, hammers, axes, etc. can result in massive damage. Equip ranged weapons (fire rifles, cannons, rockets, etc.) to damage enemies at a distance. You can fire a ranged weapon to help lower an enemy's health even in missions where the objective is to use your melee weapon, however make sure to finish them off with a melee weapon so it will count.
