Art Shift: The game's first cutscene is in a stylized 2D comicbook style, while the rest of the cutscenes are in 3D.

Dismantled Macguffin: The Energon Activator, a prototype Decepticon weapon capable of generating a nuclear electromagnetic pulse which can wipe out all forms of machine-based life. The Autobots split it into parts to prevent it's use and Bumblebee needs to collect said parts before Mandroid does to use it for his own sinister plans.

comment
In the series, Transformers controlled by Mandroid were always eerily silent, due to being completely focused on fighting Mandroid's enemies over everything else. In the game, Mandroid's brainwashing victims are fully capable of talking and even seem to some extent aware that Mandroid is controlling them. Bumblebee lampshades this in his fight with Skullcruncher.

comment
Demoted to Extra: The Terrans and their human siblings Robbie and Mo Malto were the protagonists of the animated series, but only play a supporting role here. In-universe this is justified by them repairing an old G.H.O.S.T. base so Bee can use it as headquarters, as well as Bee actively keeping them away from the action out of fear they'll get hurt.

comment
Adaptational Wimp: The mind-controlled Cybertronians Bumblebee fights were all extremely heavy hitters in the series, often taking more than one Transformer to defeat, if they were defeated at all. Here, Bumblebee alone is enough to beat them down, something Bumblebee himself points out with amazement. This turns out to have been intentional on Mandroid's part: He needed Bumblebee to collect the Energon Activator parts but couldn't let him suspect that something was up. So he made the mind-controlled Cybertronians put up just enough of a fight that Bee wouldn't be suspicious but not enough to actually stop him.

comment
Adaptational Angst Downgrade: Mind control in the game is treated with a lot less gravity than it is in the show. In the show several victims of Mandroid's control patches came out of the experience feeling violated with some, like Hashtag and Grimlock, even struggling with intense PTSD afterwards. In the game's story being controlled by Mandroid is treated more like a nuisance. Even Grimlock, whose lingering trauma from his first experience being controlled the show dedicated an entire episode to, seems only mildly annoyed over it at worst once freed.
