Autobots (attackers) must try to defeat the Deceptacon(s). Set out a large area and have Autobots dribble their ball and chase down the Deceptacon. Autobots must perform a ground pass to hit the Deceptacon. The Deceptacon loses a limb each time they are hit until after they have been defeated after losing both arms and legs. Any passes above the knee do not count as that is deemed a poor ground pass and also dangerous. Alterations are to use more than 1 Deceptacon depending on the number of players. Rotate Autobots and Deceptacons.
