Are you for Optimus Prime or Megatron?

As monumental choices between good or evil, Autobot or Decepticon hardly ranks alongside Coke or Pepsi, let alone Allies or Nazis. Still, that will be the decision facing those who want to buy a copy of the DS game based on the forthcoming live action movie version of Transformers.

Which version you choose will affect the game you get to experience, with the sainty Autobots protecting the earth while the sneaky Decepticons set out to trash it. And as well as affecting the different Robots in Disguise you get to play as, each game will have exclusive levels – with Antarctic locations in Transformers: Autobots and deserts in Transformers: Decepticons.

In total, there will be 20 story-based missions per game, as well as 20 challenge missions.

The great divide will also be maintained in the online Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection-supported 'AllSpark Wars'. This will be an ongoing conflict between the two sides that will include daily challenge missions and leaderboards showing per player and per side stats. Local battles will be available using the DS' adhoc four-player wireless mode, for activities such as Team Death Match and AllSpark Sports.

Get ready to toss a coin: Transformers: Autobots and Decepticons will be released slightly later than the movie on the 20th July.
