Cheat codes

The game Transformers for the PlayStation 2 features the ability to enter hidden in-game cheat codes. These codes can be highly useful to players for testing of glitches, practicing certain levels for a speedrun, or just to feel extra powerful, etc. This page lists all cheat codes. These codes were all obtained via Internet research from various sites. All cheat codes mentioned here have been confirmed to exist; there is no doubt that they do.

All of these cheat codes are similar in many ways. They are all activated by the pressing of buttons on the controller. None of them require the use of the joysticks, a special type of controller, nor any external software or hacking.

Activation
In order to activate any of the codes, you must enter the code only in the certain situation mentioned below for that code (in the difficulty selection screen before starting a game file, Autobot HQ, the pause menu during gameplay, or the extras menu).

Enter the cheat code in the order shown. In fact, you must enter it exactly in the order shown. Don't enter even one digit incorrectly. If you do, you have to start over from the beginning.

There is no time limit; take as much time as you need. One might enter 5 digits of any code, and then come back 3 days later to the still-running game that's been sitting there, and enter the rest of the 3 digits, and the code will still work (as long as it's all entered correctly).

Once the code has been entered, you will hear a message from Red Alert saying "code accepted". Please note that you will only hear this sound if your SFX is turned up to at least one bar.

You can enter individual codes as many times as you want per session. It won't do anything special if you sit there and enter a single code 50 times, but it will do the same thing; Red Alert will say "code accepted" as many times as you enter it, until the end of time.

Pause screen
Only enter these cheat codes while the game is paused during gameplay (while inside a level). These cheat codes save for as long as one level session; if you die, it's okay, but if you exit the level for any reason, these cheats are deactivated.
