Class wheel/roster showcasing some Bots, as seen on the loading screen in v4.0.
The term 'Bot' refers to any Transformers character, be they Autobot, Decepticon, Maximal or Predacon. There are six classes of bots: Brawler, Warrior, Scout, Tech, and Demolitions, and Tactician.
Each class has a Class advantage over each other, so it is smart to plan out your squad. Bots can also interact with each other by Synergy Bonuses. There are three Transformers universes from which these characters come from: Generations (with designs based on toys from various toylines) Cinematic (live-action film series), and Beast Wars.
Bots vary in star rarity, from 1-Star to 5-Star. Each Bot has a Rating that can be increased by leveling and ranking up the Bot. Each Bot has three unique Special Attacks, as well as a Signature Ability that is awakened from getting a duplicate.

Abilities can be permanent or temporary bonuses. Permanent bonuses are passive or activated on Critical Hit. Temporary bonuses have a chance to activate when you use your special attacks. All abilities are typically themed around the background story of each bot.

The amount and strength of abilities for each bot may change, depending on their Tier and Rank. For example, Optimus Prime at Tier 1 (1 Star), Rank 1, will only have the ability Guardian Slash available. When you rank him up to Rank 2, the ability I’ll Take You All On! (special) will become available.
PERMANENT ABILITY BONUS
This bonus will always be active during a fight and may be triggered at any time, depending upon its description. These abilities are not related to special attacks.
SPECIAL ATTACK BONUS
This bonus has a chance to activate with the use of a special attack. The effect of this attack increases with the level of the bot’s special attack.
Bot Level, Rank, and Tier[]
Each bot has a Tier, Rank, and Level. You can see this information by going to your BOTS tab on your home screen, then tapping on your bot, and opening the INFO panel.
Tiers range from 1-star to 4-stars, and cannot be changed. The higher the tier, the better the stats of your bot. Tiers control synergy bonuses and allow your bot to rank up higher.
Levels and Ranks can be increased.
Levels increase the power of a bot. Ranks increase the max level of a bot. For example, your bot can reach level 10 in rank 1, and level 20 in rank 2. The level cap is always 10 times as much as the rank.
When your bot reaches the maximum level for the rank, you will be required to rank up in order to unlock new levels. Ranking up will also increase the effectiveness of normal abilities like Bleed, Armor Break, etc.
MAXIMUM RANK FOR EACH TIER:[]
1 Star: Rank 2
2 Star: Rank 3
3 Star: Rank 4
4 Star: Rank 4
MAXIMUM LEVELS FOR EACH RANK:[]
Rank 1: 10 (1 to 4 Stars)
Rank 2: 20 (1 to 4 Stars)
Rank 3: 30 (2 to 4 Stars)
Rank 4: 40 (3 to 4 Stars)
Remember that you will need to rank up 2-Star and 3-Star Bots to unlock their tier 2 and tier 3 specials (respectively). This system was dropped in v.2.0 or v3.0.
1-Star Bot: Starts with a one-bar special attack
2-Star Bot: Starts with a one-bar special attack
3-Star Bot: Starts with a two-bar special attack
