Transformers: Battle for Cybertron

Building upon the foundation laid by my previous "Battle for Gotham City" game, the Transformers-themed "Battle for Cybertron" similarly utilised multiple TV screens and a controller to create a simple but entertaining shoot ‘em up game.

This game was then integrated as part of a larger touring experience that included hands-on activities for kids and a full sized Optimus Prime truck, all packed into a bespoke shipping container unit.

Based on previous experience, I was able to improve the game mechanics, as well as crafting a more robust and responsive real-time communication system for keeping everything up, running and synchronised.

An online version of the game for mobile also allowed people to keep playing again, utilising the motion-tracking capabilities of modern smartphones to challenge users to move around and find as many enemy targets as possible in the time provided.
