Transformers Animated The Shooting is a Japanese arcade shooting game with mounted dual light-gun title where you have to blast the Deceptions. One or two players can take control of their characters of choice by swiping the bar-codes on the Transformers Cards scanner developed for The Shooting, which inserts the characters into the game. Cards could be bought in randomized 5-packs, or came packaged with certain toys.

The game introduces two new characters: Chromia and Grinder. There are also several original same-character redecos scattered throughout. Though it is an Animated game, several character cards were made for toys from other franchises, primarily Generation 1, though characters from the live-action film series and even Beast Wars have popped up.
