## What is Transformers AR Guide?

Discover an amazing Augmented Reality experience where you can interact with your favourite Transformers: Robots in Disguise characters in the Crown City. Download this FREE Augmented Reality app to bring the Autobots and Decepticons to life!

EXPLORE NINE AMAZING INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES:

• Come face to face with your favourite characters from Crown City. See Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Sideswipe, Strongarm and Steeljaw as amazing bots and walk them around your room. Then switch them to their alt mode and drive them around! Make the robots life size and see for yourself how huge these Transformers really are. 

• In DUAL USER MODE you and your friend can battle two Transformers against each other! 

• CUSTOMIZE your own bot! Select parts and colours, and make your new hero walk around your room. 

How it works:
