I got up to the level Mid-Atlantic and then going to play all the other levels and see what I can do. Then I'll update this walkthrough. Soon, it will be 1.0! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction |INT| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Hey guys! I'm Darkness_644 and I have been a fan of transformers. This game was made by Atari and was released in 2004. While using this guide, you will find all the mini-cons, data-cons and have extra help on those bosses you want to defeat. This guide will also have some available cheats you can use whilst in the game. Note: This game is not the Transformers: The Game released in 2007. This is a different game but still is based in Planet Earth. Advanced users can use this guide for more info but if you are a complete beginner, you might be in for a treat. This game is one of the best games I played. I will not include any spoilers at all. You should find out what happens in the game yourself, and I won't spoil what happens in the game for other people. (this is the cut-scenes) This walkthrough is very large but it will give you all the information you need. I have the Directors Cut Version of the game, which has the making of this game included. So you may see this walkthrough somewhere else too. So, I hope you enjoy the content in this walkthrough and I wish you very best of luck! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Table Of Contents |TOC| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Here is where you can view what is included in this guide to beat this hard game.

Here I have listed all the controls you need to know while controlling the Autobots and the Vehicle controls. ----------------------------------------- AUTOBOT: Optimus Prime/Red Alert/Hot Shot ----------------------------------------- [Left Analog Stick]: This allows the Autobot to move in the area. The harder the stick goes down, the more faster the autobot moves. But if you control a more faster autobot like Hot Shot then he will probably go faster than Optimus or Red Alert. [Right Analog Stick] You can twist around this stick to see where your going. [The Right and Left Buttons] [R] R1= Fire your blaster. Hold it down for multiple fire, but when it runs out, you will need to wait a few seconds for it to reload because otherwise it won't shoot as fast. This is also used as Melee attacks on ground when you fight decepticons and Decepticlones. Get them still and just keep tapping. They will fight back but keep tapping the button. If you want more defence, use red alert. R2= Fire a bigger, powerful weapon. These include: Missiles, Grenades, Guns and stuff that will harm aircraft. Also, you might have put on mini-cons from L2 onto R2. This isn't really the best idea, as you have to fight enemies and bosses but it can be useful sometimes. Recommend you use this once in a while but it is your own choice. R3= Activate Recon Mode. You can also activate it by the circle button too. You can also activate sniper mode by a certain mini-con called 'Lookout.' [L] L1= Jump. You can jump over rocks, steps etc. Also later on there is a mini-con which will allow you to jump higher than usual. You can double tap this when you get a certain mini-con called slipstream This will allow you to fly but you'll get this later on. These kind of mini-cons are like movement stuff and some protection. You can also sidestep in Recon Mode by pressing L1 too. L2= New Ability. This will consist of Armour, Harmful Melee attacks, shields and loads more. L3= You can deactivate Recon Mode or Sniper Mode. (This is also done by the circle Button.) [Coloured Buttons] X Button= You can confirm Autobot HQ transmissions. [] Button= This will allow you to activate and deactivate powerlinx. This is a mighty power that you will learn later on. /\ Button= With this button, you can transform or go back to robot mode. O Button: Activate Recon/Deactivate recon. R3 has the same function but L3 deactivates recon/sniper mode. OTHER Start Button: Pause Menu Select Button: Respond to Autobot HQ transmissions. --------------------------------------- Vehicle Controls --------------------------------------- Optimus Prime/Red Alert/Hot Shot: X Button= Accelerate [] Button= Brake /\ Button= Transform back --------------------------------------- Menu Controls --------------------------------------- Left Analog Stick/Directional Buttons= Move Highlight X Button= Select Choice /\ Button= Go back/previous -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Storyline |STR| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This is the story from the manual: ONE MILLION YEARS AGO: "Cybertron is a world at war, locked in a struggle between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons. It appears that the endless conflict will continue until one side wins and the other is destroyed. Caught up in the struggle between the two warring factions machines is a tiny race of tiny "smart-tool" Transformers known as the Mini-Con robots. These robots have the power to combine with larger Transformers, greatly enhancing the larger robots' combat capabilities. Taking matters into their own hands before their planet is destroyed, the Mini-Con robots secretly assemble an evacuation ark. They power down, sealing themselves in stasis panels, and flee their war-ravaged home. Only a few Mini-Con robots remain active to crew the ark into the depths of interstellar space. After uncounted years of searching, a rouge meteor suddenly strikes the ark, destroying its guidance systems. The ship plunges through an obscure solar system and skips off a nearby planet's huge and lifeless moon, breaking apart in the process. Many of the ill-fated ark's fragments continue on a lonely journey through space, their precious Mini-con cargo locked in suspended animation forever. However, some of the fragments fall toward the nearby blue-green planet. Dozens of Mini-Con panels strike the surface and scatter to remote locations. They are buried, lost and forgotten until a chance discovery a million years later awakens a small group of Mini-Con robots, and activates an ancient distress beacon." PRESENT TIME: "For the first time in the long history of the war, Optimus Prime is not confident of victory. His arch-nemesis, Megatron, has pushed a vast robot army deep into the heart of Autobot territory. As the two mighty foes clash, a distress signal rips across the skies of Cybertron. It is a call from the Mini-Con robots, the long lost transformers race. Knowing that the mini-con robots will tip the balance of power, the Autobots and the Decepticons trace the signal to its origin, and race to a tiny planet at the edge of the galaxy: a planet called earth." (If you believe these are Spoilers then don't worry. This is just the intro, it's not the actual game. If you still don't like it then contact me.) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gameplay and Action |GPA| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The game is a war between the Autobots and decepticons. The mini-cons give them tremendous power and you play as the Autobots, the trio of Optimus Prime, the leader of the autobots, red alert, a expert of defense and hot shot, the master of speed. You will need to find the mini-cons to progress in the game. Some have really strong weapons like Hailstorm, Lock-on and Slapshot. You will go through a series of levels in certain places of earth like Amazon rain forest, antarctica and alaska. In every one of these levels, there are loads of mini-cons to discover but some have hardly any. In every level there will be an annoying boss. You can't escape evil! By collecting Mini-Cons, you can destroy them more quickly than normal attacks. This game is a third person game and is a great adventure that I really enjoyed. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saving/Loading |S/L| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To load you must first save a game. But luckily this game uses an Autosave feature. First of all, your current game is saved. Then go onto the load menu on the main menu and select out of the three files. You must have a memory card (8MB) surely! If not then you can't save a game and therefore you can't load. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enviroments |ENV| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In this game, there is lots to discover throughout the levels. These include Warp Gates, Enemies and a load more. The enemies are the Decepticlones, the henchmen of the Decepticons. They are in every level you go so there is no way avoiding them! They storm the grounds and you will need to kill them. This goes with bosses, there is a boss in every single level you go to. There are these special transporters called Warp Gates. You will need these and they become very useful later on. Whenever you see one, press X Button and they will save your progress. So if you get destroyed by a Command Unit or get thrashed by a Decepticon, you can return to the last warp gate you pressed X on. If you need to change your Mini-cons or whatever, go into a warp gate and it will teleport you to your base, Autobot HQ. And decide what you want to do from there. The bad guys cannot go in these teleporters and you can only go in if you press X and your in Robot form. You will need to find the Mini-cons who are scattered in every drop zone (another definition for a level). These give Transformers ultimate power like missile guns and launchers. But others give you protection, movement and skill and a lot more. But when you collect a mini-con, it is saved and goes to Autobot HQ. See Mini-cons [MNI] Data-Cons are not really needed (you don't have to get them) but they are worth collecting. They unlock the EXTRAS in the main menu. Each has its' own part to unlock. Also you get energon from it. See Data-Cons [DTA] Energon is Autobot health, as well as Decepticon health. Decepticlones don't actually have Energon but you don't know whether their going to die or not. An autobot and decepticon has a few cubes around their logo. That means the autobot sign etc. They are all linked together and if it is not flashing then the energon is in good health. If flashing red then you need energon quick! You can get energon from killing Decepticlones and retrieving Data- Cons. But energon varies on the Decepticlone type. If it is one of those teeny ones, you get one energon piece because their easy so it depends if they are hard to beat or not. You can get massive chunks from destroying a Decepticlone ship and lots more. You can get energon mini-cons eg. buildup. Remember it is red glowing stuff and colour may vary. It disappears if you don't get it soon enough. It's depleted when you take damage. I may change more later in future. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Menus |MUS| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Here is where you will find all the menus in the game. This includes: Main Menu Pause Menu Stasis Lock Menu --------------------------------- Main Menu --------------------------------- Where you start of. (to get here you need to press 50HZ to get on here, recommending your TV is a PAL but anyway. Here are the options: NEW GAME CONTINUE GAME OPTIONS EXTRAS If you choose New game, you have a choice to make. If your a complete beginner and are going to start from scratch, press Recruit. This is the easiest option If you are going to chose Veteran, the enemies will be more harder to beat and you will have a bigger challenge. This is Intermediate. If you are going to chose the Commander option I thought you would have understood the game really well and want to take the biggest challenge. All the enemies well be their hardest stats and will take even more hits. I can't imagine what Megatron in that mode will be like. If you choose Continue Game, you should have started a save file and choose between three options. This will display your Mini-Cons and Data-Cons stats. When you select one, you will go automatically to Autobot HQ. If you choose Options, you will have a choice between sound mode, widescreen and Screen Position. Choose sound and you will either select mono, stereo or Surround Audio. Choose Widescreen and this will make you have this mode. You can always turn it off. I use this mode even though I don't have a widescreen because in my opinion it looks better. Choose Screen Position and this will centre the game screen. Press X if you have finished changes or triangle if you want to exit. Choose extras and this is the cool part. All the data-cons you collected will unlock a extra in this menu. These vary, if it's music themes, tv spots, art or whatever, a data-con unlocks it. Have fun! --------------------------------- Pause Menu --------------------------------- Press the START Button and you'll be here. RESUME SHOW OBJECTIVE QUIT GAME Resume lets you return to the current game. Show objective means the latest transmission from Autobot HQ. If it is blank and you can't access it then you haven't got one. Quit Game obviously means you go straight to the menu screen, not Autobot HQ. --------------------------------- Stasis Lock Menu --------------------------------- This is when an Autobot malfunctions because there is no energon in the system and crashes down. Most likely you got killed by a Decepticlone/decepticon or you died by falling down a ravine or so. CONTINUE AUTOBOT HQ QUIT Continue lets you go to the nearest Warp Gate you saved, and teleports you there. Autobot HQ lets you go back to the headquarters. And quit, well lets you to the main menu. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Autobots |ATO| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Here are the autobots, all with their strengths and descriptions. These descriptions contain long, detailed info so you get to know th Autbots more. ******************* Optimus Prime ******************* He is the leader of the Autobots and has a brave heart. He is by far the strongest Autobot in this game and packs a punch, well, with weapons that is. His arch nemesis is Megatron the leader of the Decepticons. They have battled countless wars and megatron will never surrender until he gets what he wants. In Vehicle mode, he is a truck and unfortunately, this is a sluggish pace. But it's still a vehicle. He is the only Autobot to carry the most Mini-Cons. The others do carry mini- cons which are powerful but Optimus has more units. ******************* Red Alert ******************* He is second in command and is always ready for battle. He is a master at defense and is good for boss battles, in a defence way. His vehicle mode is an emergency ambulance. Red Alert is good to use in snow, water and steep terraces. He is highly recommended for Antarctica as his vehicle is good in that kind of terrain. He takes battles seriously like Prime and talks in that original robot like "Affirmative" or "Responded." Like, Optimus, he does have good, strong armour. ******************* Hot Shot ******************* Hot shot is a speed demon. His speed is sutible for fast missions and stuff. But his responses to Autobot HQ are quite like a "duh" response like "What do you think" and he also he isn't a robot that serious. He is very sarcastic. He is the lightest of the Autobot mission but he is the fastest and his sports car form can go up to 186 mph! Like Red Alert, Hot shot only has 80 units. If you want more power, use Optimus. His favorite is road tracks and he isn't really good in snow. He is good in dirt tracks and sealed surfaces. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Decepticons |DEC| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The opposite of an Autobot, here are the proper bad guys. (Bosses) =================== Megatron =================== Megatron is the evil. He battled Optimus Prime until he no longer can fight. But this time has come. Megatron is the leader of the Decepticons and wants the whole universe under his power. His allies are the other Decepticons, and his henchmen race called Decepticons. He wants to destroy all peace and will never stop fighting Autobots and Prime until he is dead. His form is a deadly battle tank. =================== Starscream =================== He is (in a way) an evil version of Hot Shot. But he's a jet fighter who is so reckless. He seems to not like Megatron himself, and one day he'll become the leader of the Decepticons. He likes anything to do with power and he's always likes a joke. He is determined to get rid of the Autobots but not for Megatron. He wants to just destroy them and then take things further. =================== Cyclonus =================== He is another careless Decepticon. He terrorizes the sky in his helicopter form and he likes explosions. His cannons on his guns make a annoying noise and he will not stop coming after you until your dead. There is not much to say about him but he is thought to throw you in his spinning attack. =================== Tidal Wave =================== Tidal Wave is not a so much known Decepticon but trust me, you'll know him! He fires ear-splitting missiles out of his cannons and he is the biggest Decepticon in this game! But not the strongest because he moves slowly unlike Megatron. His form is remained secret but you'll fnd out once you get to him. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Decepticlones |DCC| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The Decepticlones are the henchmen of the Decepticons. They are weaker than normal Decepticons but that dosen't mean they can't fight.. Here are the types you will encounter and how to beat them. =================== Light Unit =================== Well these guys are very small. To you, they look like a size of an ant. But they can be very annoying in packs. If there is one on their own you can defeat them in a matter of seconds. You can actually run over them too! Just be careful when their in packs though. =================== Medium Unit =================== These are more harder. They use melee attacks on you as well as shooting gun- fire at you. They are a really deadly threat in packs as they can crowd around you. But just kick them, shoot them and repeat and they should soon be gone! Also there are another type of these. They are Red-Coloured and carry sheilds and throw Grenades at you. They are still Kick-able but you may need to throw Grenades at them too. =================== Heavy Unit =================== Much nastier. They fire homing rockets, lasers and also use stomping attacks on you. These make you go flying. One of the hardest units to beat as they have extreme heavy armour and the annoying thing is, once they have spotted you they will keep coming after you. Beware! =================== Ape Units =================== These Decepticlones are ape-like robots and stick to trees and stuff. They may sound silly but belive me, their not. They fire these homing rockets, which take down your weapon ammo, and the only attacks you can use are the melee and your blaster. =================== Command Units =================== They are horrible! They have a sword and wack anyone with it. That makes you go flying as you can guess. They have guns that will release deadly missiles at you. And also, once they've spotted you there is no escape. Unless you hide and they can't find you maybe. They travel mostly in packs with other Decepticlones and rarely travel alone. =================== Flight Units =================== There are two types. (Type One:) They are blue and they hover around areas. When you complete a level, they might come to that level. They have annoying guns and the best mini-con to destroy them is a flac gun. They dodge your attacks really easily. (Type Two:) Very annoying types! But they stand around and if they spot you, they fire a laser which sticks to you, and in a few seconds later it blasts you away! You will need to destroy them as quickly as possible and approach them with caution. =================== Search Units =================== These aren't classified as Decepticlones but they are in the drop zones Antarctica and Starship. They fire lasers but one isn't harmful. One is to detect you and they let off a flare and the Decepticlone ship comes. And also they fire normal lasers that harm you. They are small and can be destroyed by one hit of your blaster. =================== Missile Units =================== They fire missiles at you and cannot move. But if you move closer in to them, their sheild will come on. They are only in Deep Amazon and are very annoying. =================== Rolling Units =================== Another, annoying type. These have the ability to roll on ground and fire very strong lasers. They can be destroyed quickly, but if they are in packs, they can destroy you quickly... They are only in Starship and Alaska. =================== Spider Tank =================== The Spider Tank is a crawling Decepticon ready to exterminate all Autobots. If it spots you then it comes after you but not so fast. It shoots lasers at you and fires a high energy blast. A noise comes up when the energy blast is ready. It makes you go flying! It has heavy armour though so use a decent, strong weapon or blaster. =================== Decepticlone Ship =================== It isn't really a Decepticlone of such but it drops out them. Any kind. They are in every Drop Zone I think but you can destroy them by repeating fire. You can even go inside one if you get the chance but you'll need to blast your way out! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Heads-Up-display |HUD| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The H.u.d. is the Mini-Con level and your Energon or Decepticon level. You have a targetting rifle you can aim at Decepticons and Clones. Next to your energon level might be a protection symbol you got from a mini-con eg. Safeguard or Bulletproof. Your Mini-Con levels are how much you have in the ammo bar (which is the bar next to your Mini-Con symbol. If the bar is ran out, you will have to wait a few seconds for it to reload. If it is a strong weapon equipped to R2 etc. then you will need to wait for quite a while. Also if you have a mini-con loadout which are on the same team eg. Two reds then that means you have extra energon. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Autobot HQ |AHQ| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Here is your base. You can return here from Stasis Lock or coming here from main menu. First of all, you need to pick your Autobot of your choice. What level is best for speed, strength or defence? You need to choose wisley. Just use the directional buttons to select the Autobot and Press X. Then you can decide what to do next. + Options + Mini-Cons + Drop Zones + Autobots + Quit This options menu is diffrent but has the sound volume inside it. You get to choose the Mini-Cons you got from earth. Now you can't have in every slot a powerful Mini-Con because you get an Overload. You need to pick wisley and decide your Loadout carefully. You can always return here through a Warp-Gate. Then you get to choose the Drop Zone section. Here is all the Drop Zones you have visted or are going to visit. It says what your status is for every drop zone so how much Mini-Con/Data-Cons you got. Also a screen comes up what part of the world it is and the background colour too. Or you can just quit back into the main menu using the "Quit" Option. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Walkthrough |WLK| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The walkthrough for the entire game is here guys! Remember, this guide does not contain spoilers, I just hate guides which do. But before we begin, you should know a few things before reading this: + You should check when you get A Mini-Con for these reasons. When you find one, see if it suits you. And also read the information of it. Or, you can look in the Mini-Con section. Don't just attach the Mini-Con, you may not like it. + If you want to ask me a question about something, make sure it is not answered in the guide, or the FAQ [FAQ] Section. + Always look everywhere. Mini-cons and data-cons are well hidden but some are just found like clicking your fingers. So you need to keep your eyes peeled. + Some Data-Cons and even Mini-Cons may need a special Mini-Con to get to them. So you will need to find the right Mini-Con and return to previous visited drop zone. I might add more in the future. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Drop Zone: Amazon |AMA| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-----------------| | Level Information: The Decepticons have invaded this part of the Planet and | are destroying everything in search for the powerful Mini-| Cons. Also, there is a Ancient Temple that a powerful | Transfomer hides... | Mini-Cons: (6) | Data-Cons: (13) | | DECEPTICLONES: Light Unit, Medium Unit, Heavy Unit, Spider Tank | DECEPTICON: Cyclonus (But you don't fight him) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Watch the intro movie and we are ready to start. The Autobot speaking from Autobot HQ will inform you on your mission. You need to jump on those cliffs by pressing the L1 Button. Then make your way towards the top by going up. Then there will be a Decepticlone. Shoot it or meele it if you know how to do Meele attacks. Then Continue. There will be an area with trees and some more Decepticlones. Drive down until you reach the Mini-Con, which is Lock-On. You can attach Lock-On for R2 and that is great to destroy decepticlones faster so I recommend you attach it. Then you will see a Warp Gate. These all have diffrent names but press X to activate it. If you go in stasis lock then you return here. Walk along the bridge and if you fall in the water, don't worry. You can get out by jumping near the end of the bridge. Ignore the Decepticlones or run over them for fun! And then you will go to the Temple Warp Gate. Be careful as you will encounter a new Decepticlone (medium unit). Destroy him first and then destroy the weak Decepticlones. Then you will find a Mini-Con called Safeguard. I recommend you attach this for now and then you can change it in future. Then there will be a ledge for you to climb up the temple to the top. Look around and you'll find it. Once you have, walk up it and try not to fall down. You'll be up at the top with a very steep ledge. If you can see, their will be Decepticlones on the ledges were you are. Use Lock-On to track them down and blow them to pieces. Then go and collect your first Data-Con. There is also another Data-Con hidden in this area but I'll add it in the Data-Con section. Speed up the operation by driving and reaching the next warp gate. But there will be loads of Decepticlones around you: both types. Before you go over the waterfall bridge, there are loads of Data-Cons around the ground area. Loads of them can be found near the trees. Then walk along the waterfall bridge and kill the Decepticlones on them. Then you can activate the third Warp gate. This bit might get a little harder. Drive up the hill and then you need to drive over the wide ravine and the transmission said be careful, wide ravines ahead. If you fall in, their will always be a way out. Look for steep rocks you jump to get up to etc. You will be in a grassy area. Drive over the gap or kill all the Decepticlones and then drive over. There will be another Gap with a Decepticlone ship. Just keep driving until you get to the fourth warp gate. Be careful! There is a Decepticlone called a Spider Tank. Use all your weapons continusley. Keep firing missiles and your blaster. The Spider will die, and you will get a massive chunk of energon. Now retrive the Mini-Con, deflector. Go up the hill. Be careful, again. There are loads of Medium Units here. You can drive into them if you want. And later up, there will be a gap so make sure you don't fall down. Soon, you should get to the Temple. Here is where the action starts. But first there will be a Spider Tank up here. Try not to get hit by the energy blast. And continue climbing up and retrive the Mini-Con, Flashbang. If you want to you can attach this. But it does not Lock-On to any enemy but has more power. This can be very useful for later on. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= BOSS ONE: HEAVY UNIT -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SUGGESTED MINI-CONS: R1: Blaster R2: Lock-On L1: Deflector L2: Pressurepoint ATTACKS: Earthquake Stomp, Homing Missiles, Lasers Then, there will be The Heavy Unit. This is not really noticed as a Boss or Decepticon, but you still have to beat him. You might die while trying to kill him. If you get too close to him, he might do his stomp attack on you so be careful. But if you go too far back, he shoots missiles and lasers at you. You need to shoot him, and hide behind something. This is the same in later levels, heavy units are no longer classified as bosses. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Antarctica |ANT| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-----------------| | Level Information: The freezer of the world. But in present time, the | Decepticlones take over this cold desolate place, but what| is so important they need here? But every level gets harder and it's about to happen in this drop zone... | | Mini-Cons: (add later when I know) | Data-Cons: (add later when I know) | | DECEPTICLONES: Search Unit, Light Unit, Medium Unit, Heavy Unit, Spider Tank.| DECEPTICON: Starscream | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-| Watch the beginning scene and then you will be teleported to here. With those Mini-Cons from the Amazon, you can Powerlinx with them (these are not the weapon mini-cons, ones like Longarm, Jolt and Sparxplug. You can Powerlinx by pressing the [] button and press again to stop. This gives you so much power. More on this can be found in the Glossary. [GLS] Back to the game. Walk along the ice and you will come into a room with some (what I call) search units. They detect you, and send out flares to warn Decepticlone Ships. Destroy them by going into Recon Mode. Then there will be a Spider Tank near you. Destroy it with your destructive mini-cons. You can use Powerlinx if you like. Jump on the icy platforms without falling in the water. If you go further out, you sink. When you get over to the ice rocks, go up there and get the Mini-con. I think this is a Mini-Con that detects Energon but I don't know the name (I will add here what it is when I know what it is). Next, you will get in the main field. Activate the warp gate. Your next mission is to reach the source of the smoke. Now watch out, there are loads of Crevasses and are sometimes hard to see. Say for example your driving really fast and you go in. But there will be ways to escape though. And anyway, lets continue. I recommend you get to the nearest Warp Gate, Ice Breaker. Drive carefully, as there could be loads of traps. There are lots of (what I call) Search Units and they can detect you and send the flares. To get to it though, you can see in the distance a Boat. That is where it is. So keep driving. When you get there, destroy all of the Decepticlones. Unfortunately, there will be packs of Medium Units and a Spider Tank. And light units on the boat. When you get on the boat and get the Mini-Con, I suggest you should equip it. With this Mini-con Lookout, you can snipe Decepticlones and decepticons. This is like a More Powerful Recon Mode. If you look there are heavy units and even more units around. Snipe some and keep on heading to the smoke. Also, I think near the boat there is a Mini-Con called Watchdog. This Mini-Con is great as when you fire the mines, it sticks to things. You can shoot it at enemies and it will stick to them. Soon, you should get here. (I won't spoil on how the smoke is caused). Get the Mini-Con around there. This is Slapshot, and if you still have Lookout, this Mini-Con is so useful for destroying enemies on ground. You may want Watchdog or this one. Once your at the Reasearch Centre, activate the Warp Gate. Trust me, you must otherwise you'll have to go all the way back to the boat. There is another Heavy Unit around here, and loads of Decepticlones and including something else. This is very annoying. Don't ignore them, kill as many as you can. But this really decreases your Energon. Also, underneath the small houses and construction of the reasearch centre, there are a number of Mini-Cons and Data-Cons I believe. You may destroy them now or later. There is also a Mini-Con called Sparxjump at the very back of the Reasearch centre. To continue, go into the middle, if you dare... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= BOSS TWO: STARSCREAM -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I think you should use Red Alert for this battle, as he is good at defense and his moves are quick and I think are sutible for this challange. SUGGESTED MINI-CONS: R1: Sparxjump R2: Whatchdog L1: Build-Up L2: Deflector ATTACKS: Sword Swipe, Missile Blast Here is the first Decepticon to kill in the game. But just because he is the first, dosen't mean he is the easiest. At the beginning he comes at you with his bladed sword. Fire your Watchdog Mini-Con at him. These mines will stick to him, and keep firing it. So if he has got Watchdog still stuck to him, and he's in the sky, the mines might explode and Starscream will fall down from a huge height. Then he will fly in the sky in his jet transformation. There is no point trying to kill him in Jet Mode. And he comes down and shoots missiles at you. Keep looking at him in the sky and see when he is going to come down. When he comes down and shoots missiles, shoot some Whatchdog ammo at him. When you keep doing this, he will soon fall down, and you can get a shot on hitting him easier. Remember, before you came to him, the Decepticlones really bother you if they are still in the area. Try to keep killing them until there are no left and then face Starscream. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deep Amazon |DPA| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-----------------| | Level Information: You are on the hunt for Cyclonus and you are actually in | the same "Amazon" Place but deeper inside. The temple is | your main objective. | | Mini-Cons: (Add when I know) | Data-Cons: (Add when I know) | | DECEPTICLONES: Light Units, Medium Units, Heavy Units, Missile Units, Ape | Units. | DECEPTICON: Cyclonus | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-| Take off down the hill and keep driving uniti you get to the Mini-Con. I think this is the Heavy Blaster. You can attach this if you want, but Sparxjump actually has more power. But it's your choice. Kill all the Decepticlones around this jungle-type place. And beware of the Heavy Units coming. Next, near the bridge, activate the Warp Gate. Be careful not to fall off, if you do then you have to keep finding your way and trust me, that is boring. Then, here come the missile units. They do not move but you need to dodge their annoying missiles. If you move close to them, their sheilds will go up. And you may have noticed a Mini-Con on a Decepticlone Ship. To get this, you will need Slipstream to fly, and on the ship. But anyway, lets continue. Around here, there is another Warp Gate called Jungle Village. Over there is a Mini-Con called Knockdown, and another Mini-Con. You may go there and explore, but I'm explaining how to get to the temple first though. Be careful as you progress because there are these new Decepticlones that I call "Ape Units" as they don't have a actual name. Call them whatever you want. They fire powerful guns that deplete your energon, and your Mini-Con ammo. The only ones that go down are the ones that are not always active. Get to the Sun Temple Warp Gate. You will now be looking for Cyclonus. Jump on the rocks so you can climb up onto the Temple. You need to keep going round the Temple until you get to the top with the passageway. Go inside the Temple. There will be loads of Medium Units. It's a very crowded place but this is a great place for Meele attacks. This dosen't really need a full description but you will find a Mini-Con called Rangefinder down there. Make sure you don't get lost. There are some dead-ends but keep following the path and you will get to the Warp Gate, Antechamber. Go up into the escape exit. To find it, there is this hole in the wall, and it will say "operate". Also there is this high ledge that you can't get to. It is not that important but it has a Data-Con there. To get there later, I will put it in the "Returning To This Level" Section of this Drop Zone. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= BOSS THREE: CYCLONUS -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SUGGESTED MINI-CONS: R1: Sparxjump R2: Slapshot L1: Build-Up L2: Highgear ATTACKS: Laser Fire, Killer Throw, Meele Cyclonus is a very annoying Decepticon. Every time I try to kill him, it takes a couple of tries for me, unfortunately. You may be diffrent and kill him right away, but it takes me a few tries though. With your Grenade Launcher Slapshot, throw it at him on this very steep top of the Temple. After a few seconds, he will come at you in contact. He will sling you around and throw you off the temple (know what I mean by annoying?). And you could land almost anywhere eg. Water. You can not escape from him. Build-Up is great to have as your health slowly gets to normal. And Highgear should be equipped because you can move out of the way quickly when he comes at you. If you get a chance, you can fire Sparxjump at him when he is in helicopter mode. Good luck. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mid-Atlantic |MID| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-----------------| | Level Information: In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, more Decepticlones | search for Autobots. With their battleship (on water) they| are ready for anything. But what the Autobots don't know, | there is something, ready to kill... | | Mini-Cons: (1) | Data-Cons: (1) | | DECEPTICLONES: Light Units, Medium Units, Flight Units | DECEPTICON: Tidal Wave | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Start off by coming out of the Warp Gate, Atoll. You will first see a load of water around you. (The dark blue water is deep and the grey water is shallow). Walk along the sand ahead and you will see a Decepticlone Ship. Do they ever stop coming? These are new Medium Units with sheilds. Also, there will be standard medium units as well. Use Meele, Slapshot, Watchdog, Flashbang... Whatever is good for you. Go over to the big hill and guess what? Another Decepticlone ship. Keep firing them and retrive the Mini-Con. Ah-ha. This is Slipstream. With this Mini-Con, you can fly! Great. But if you can see a big glowing light, that is a Data-Con. You can fly to it from here but for now, continue with the mission if you like. Fly to the rocks in the shallow water and you will soon get to the Warp Gate. Activate it, you'll need it. Do you remember going to Deep Amazon and there was a Mini-Con that you couldn't get because of Cyclonus, now you can get it. It's the Flac Gun, (Airburst). You'll need it to destroy the flying Decepticlones. And you will need to use your blaster Mini-Cons to destroy the Ground Enemies, carefully. Fly onto the ship and you will see tons of Light Units moving in for the kill. Kill them instead with Melee and your blaster and sooner or later, the flying Decepticlones should come. By using the Flac Gun, fire, blasts of them at the enemies, they should die quick. Soon there will be a elevator. Go in there and we will be going inside the ship! But life does get harder. There will be a Mini-Con in Deep Amazon called Convert which makes you invisible to all enemies (sorry you have to keep going back and forth. You don't have to, you decide.) Once your in the ship, there will be loads of Light Units ready to greet you horribly. Fire your Grenades or Limpet Mines at them. Be careful, as their lasers will keep firing unitil all of them are destroyed. Use Slipstream to fly where they were. Then you have a choice to go left or right. Dosen't really matter. Then you will come to two Medium Units with sheilds. Kill them or ignore them. (If you have Convert equipped, you can turn Invisible so the enemies can't see you). This is up to you. When you get outside, in the middle there will be two passageways. You can go in any one you want. Be careful as a few Ape Units come out and attack you. Shortly there will be lots of Light Units in packs. They attack you quickly so hurry into a red room on the left, I believe. It might depend where you go, I'm not sure. When your in there, operate the elevator by standng next to that "Red/Thing" and get ready to go up! Once your in here, run to the Warp Gate in the middle of this cramped area. Your first command unit will be coming down the elevator. They strike you with their bladed sword so be careful. When he comes out, run towards the elevator. Be careful. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= BOSS: TIDAL WAVE -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SUGGESTED MINI-CONS: R1: Firefight R2: Lookout L1: Slipstream L2: Highgear ATTACKS: Laser Beams, Missiles I think that you should use Hot Shot in this fight. With his speed, you can move quickly past Tidal Wave. With his great big size, he is heavily armoured. You need to equip Lookout so you can fire directly at Tidal Wave. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (The Rest Of The Guide is underconstruction as I'm still working on the drop zones and playing through them.
