This guide is written based on the PS3 version of Transformers: Revenge of the
Fallen. Most likely it is also suitable for the 360 version as well. In this
guide you will find a method to defeat each mission has been tested multiple
times. I try to describe the actions taken to successfully complete a mission
without describing how and when to fire at each enemy. The guide in no way
references the movie by the same name. At the end of each mission will be 
tips on how to achieve a platinum time. These tips are tested and work, but
will only be available for the missions in which I actually am able to reach
the appropriate time.

-The Transformers can heal over time, so if the damage is too great retreat and
 regain health before continuing battle.

-Wait until finishing story mode before going for platinum on all the missions.
 By this time all the characters will be available for each mission and the
 team upgrades will increase the chances of actually obtaining the medal.

-Aim high, as with most games with weapon headshots do more damage

-Some weapons can be charged. Charging does more damage but decreases rate of
 fire.

-Don't worry about time the first attempt at a mission. Completing the objects
 will likely get you a silver medal just for completion.

-Try performing an Advanced Melee attack chained to a weapon attack for quick
 kills.

-There are special skills in the game for a reason. Don't be afraid to utilize
 them. They are very valuable.

-Going for Platinum
     -Replay the missions several times to become familiar with the general
      layout
     -Knowing where the Skill Shots are located will be of great benefit
     -Platinum will not be obtained on the first try for the majority of the
      missions (so don't worry about getting a great time the first time)
     -The more powerful the Transformer the more likely to achieve Platinum,
      therefore the later in the game you go for Platinum the more upgrades 
      that have been purchased.

At the beginning of each mission the guide will provide an overview of 
important information relevant to the mission. This information will include
a brief description, medal times (in minutes), my first and best time, the
main objective, and the bonus objectives. After the overview, you will find 
a description of how to get through the level without worrying about 
receiving a timed medal. So Oldschool's First time is meant to be an 
indication of how quickly you can expect to complete a mission the first time
through without considering time. Some people will be quicker, of course, and
some will complete the levels more slowly. My best time will be my attempt to 
get a platinum trophy on each mission. A description of helpful tips to achieve
platinum times will follow the basic walkthrough portion for each mission I
receive a platinum for. Attempts at platinum medals will only come after the
main storyline is defeated. So the Autobots going for platinum will be powered
up.

This mission is your basic training mission. It will take your through the 
basic skills necessary to move through the game. Keep an eye on the radar to
move to each checkpoint. Throughout the level prompts will appear describing 
how to complete a task. Everything from movement to fighting will be covered. 
Perform each task to move on to the next. There are 5 Autobot Emblems in the
Tutorial collecting them will improve the mission completion time. The first
two are at ground level during the initial transfromation into a car when 
driving through the checkpoints. The next one is on a building during the 
free for all fight (when the enemies actually move and fight back a little).
The last two emblems will be seen during the flight simulation portion of the
training exercise.


Going for Platinum
------------------
     
     -Know where the next beacon will be and be  there in the time Ironhide is
      talking

     -Hit the Skill Shots they are easy to get
        -2 are during the initial driving portion
        -1 is after the free for all practice fight
        -2 can be sniped when you take control of Breakaway
     
     -During the Breakaway flight portion realize that the end beacon always 
      appears on the same roof so perform the necessary tasks in proximity to
      that building
 
     PLATINUM DIFFICULTY 2/10
          -This is a training mission so Platinum shouldn't be too hard. Its 
           highly unlikely you will get this during the fist go at this mission,
           however once the controls become second nature this one's a breeze.

There are 12 Decepticons in the area. Seek out and destroy each one. Using 
Ironhide's primary weapon will be more than enough to overwhelm the enemy. Once
the 12 Decepticons are eliminated, Sideways makes an appearnce. Sideways likes
to run and climb buildings. Give chase and fire Ironhide's primary weapon. If
you get close enough melee attacks work very well too. Ironhide's main 
attributes are his ability to receive and dish out damage. 


Going for Platinum
------------------

     -Ironhide
     
     -The first 12 Decepticons should be easy especially with liberal turret use
  
     -Defeating Sideways will be the rate limiting step because he runs so much

     -Build up and save an overdrive for the boss fight

     -Avoiding Sideways' mines is very important they slow you down

     PLATINUM DIFFICULTY 5/10
         -If it wasn't for Sideways fighting style this would be an easier
          Platinum to obtain.

There are three communication arrays down. Move to the blue area indicated on
the radar and exterminate any Decepticons you find. Once the Decepticons are
cleared from the area, the blue circle on the radar turns into a wrench. Climb
the building with the communication dish. Repair the dish by standing near it
and holding circle. Once the first dish is up and running race to the next 
location because you are now on a timer. Defeat the Decepticons as before and 
repair each of the next two arrays. The only difference is that the last dish
has four enemy guards instead of three.


Going for Platinum
------------------

     -Optimus Prime

     -Stay on the roof tops and jump from array site to array site

     -The Skill Shots are easy to get increasing the likelihood of a quick 
      Platinum
          -3 are near or in route to the first array
          -1 is at the base of the 2nd array 
          -The last shot is in the distance at the third array site

     PLATINUM DIFFICULTY 2/10
          -This is not a platinum you will have to struggle for

Ratchet is the the Autobot for this mission. His ability to repair fallen 
teammates makes him uniquely equipped to handle the task ahead. Move down the
street to encounter a few Decepticons. Try Ratchet's weapons out and defeat the
three enemies. Keep moving and Ironhide will communicate over the radio. His 
position will be indicated by a yellow marker. Drive to him use Ratchet's back
up power cells (just hit circle) to revive the downed Autobot. Notice that 
a new meter has appeared on screen. This indicates how much health Ironhide has
remaining. Ratchet can heal Ironhide by using his special ability. Move with
Ironhide through the streets defeating any enemies that appear until arriving
at the final checkpoint. At any time during or after a battle be sure to heal
so that both Autobots are able to reach the objective.

     -Do not stray too far from Ironhide
 
     -Headshots are Breakaway's best friend (quick kills and more overdrive
    
     -There is no real trick to this mission like in some others, its highly 
      dependent on the ability to snipe enemies quickly     

     PLATINUM DIFFICULTY 7/10
          -This took several tries, I'd actually rather have been Ironhide and
           rescuing Breakaway. If you are a good sniper with Breakaway then
           you will not have a problem. The bad part is when you've defeated 
           all the Decepticons and are standing at the extraction point only to
           have Ironhide slowly move there missing the Platinum by a few 
           seconds.

O----------------------------------------------------------------------------O


The first time through I chose Ironhide for this mission. The first objective
is to defeat the remaining Decepticons in Shanghai. Eighteen easily defeatable
Decepticons are scattered around the map. Just move to the red dots and unleash
all your fire power. Once the grunts are defeated Ironhide gets a real
challenge (well not really). Long Haul makes an appearance and is looking for
a fight. Place a turret and start firing. At times Long Haul will transform
into his dump truck form and flee. Stay after him firing the entire time. He
may also climb a building. If so climb right behind him and get a few good 
melee shots in. Basically, I tried to go toe to toe with Long Haul and though
Ironhide's health was low, I still came out the victor.


Going for Platinum
------------------
  
     -Ironhide

     -When fighting the first 18 set turrets regularly
 
     -Seek out enemies; do not wait for them to come to you

     -Save at least one overdrive for Long Haul

     -When Long Haul runs give chase firing your vehicle's weapon for some 
      easy hits

     PLATINUM DIFFICULTY 5/10
          -The missions with a boss Decepticon are tricky only for the fact
           that the boss likes to hit and run. The quicker you get to the boss
           the more likely a Platinum time can be obtained.

There are 10 Decepticons at the docks that must be defeated. Use the radar 
to locate each of member of the enemy and fire away. As the last Decepticon is
defeated the very large Demolisher appears. Keep your distance from the large
robot. Use Optimus' shield when available. Circle the main battle area while 
firing at Demolisher. Alternate between primary and secondary weapon to limit
overheating. At times other Decepticons similar to those defeated at the start
of the mission will appear. Defeat or ignore them as you please, the primary 
focus should be on attacking Demolisher.


Going for Platinum
------------------

     -Optimus Prime

     -Platinum is possible without hitting a single Skill Shot
 
     -Prime has a high melee attribute, Advance Melee as many of the initial 
      enemies as possible to defeat them quickly

     -An overdrive should be available upon battle with Demolisher. Use the 
      overdrive and attack with constant fire while straffing.


     PLATINUM DIFFICULTY 4/10
          -The faster you get to Demolisher the more likely to achieve a
           Platinum time. Defeating the large Decepticon will not be the hard 
           part, having enough time to do so will. The overdrive at the end 
           will shorten the battle immensely. Since this one can be done without
           Skill Shots hitting any of them along the way will also improve your
           chances.

The Along the Waterfront mission is very much like the Failure to Communicate
Mission. Move to each communication array location and defeat the nearby 
Decepticons. Once they are defeated find the array (the wrench on the radar)
and repair it by pressing circle. There is a total of 4 communication arrays
that need to be repaired.


Going for Platinum
------------------

     -Breakaway

     -Defeating Decepticons while standing next to the array is most efficient

     -Breakaway's flight helps with quick movement to the array sites

          -2 at the first array site

           are a must.

Bumblebee must fight his way to the red marker indicated on the radar. Along
the way he will face numerous Decepticons. Though out numbered these enemies
are no match for Bumblebee. Once the first wave of Decepticons are scrap metal
Mikaela exits the garage. Pick her up and drive over to the extraction point.
Once there climb the building and release her. The mission isn't over yet. 
Bumblebee must defeat another wave of enemies.


Going for Platinum

Ratchet is the Autobot called upon to rescue the civilians. Move to the red 
marker on the radar to rescue the first engineer. Upon arrival Decepticons
attack from all angles. A total of 8 will appear. Defeat all 8 and the human
will exit a building on nearby roof top. The battle is not difficult the 
Decepticons are easily defeated and Ratchet is no overwhelmed at any point. If
you begin to take too much damage just use Ratchet's Special healing ability.
Find the human and pick him up. Now drive to the evacuation zone then find 
the next civilian. The second engineer will be attacked by 10 Decepticons.
Another difference this time is that some of the enemies will be helicopters
instead of just ground vehicles. It doesn't really matter once Ratchet destroys
them all their all still scrap metal. Don't look to the rooftops for this 
engineer either. He exits at street level. Fifteen Decepticons will attck the
positon of the final engineer. Again its a combination of ground and air 
enemies. Defeat them and pick up the human when they exit at ground level. Once
the thrid engineer is at the evacuation zone the mission is complete.

Ironhide is ambushed at the very beginning of the mission. Defeat the incoming
Decepticons. Once they are demolished drive ahead to meet up with the NEST
convoy. They are immediately attacked by Decepticons. Place a turret then 
attack. Once the Decepticons are defeated follow the convoy to the next 
checkpoint only to find debris blocking the path. Destroy the debris and defeat
the duo of Decepticons on the other side. Move forward through more debris and
another fire fight and the convoy will arrive at its final destination. The
mission is not over yet though. Ironhide and the convoy are attacked by a total
of 13 Decepticons. The enemies will come from both sides. During the fight its
a good idea to have a turret active at all times. Defeat each of the Decepticons
to finish the mission.

     -Staying out of the canal allows you to see the skill shots easier and 
      provides better lines of sight to attack the Decepticons.

     -An overdrive for the last big battle is not required but isn't a bad 
      idea either

          -There is a high volume of enemies that sometimes are slow to spawn.
           The Decepticons also seem to hit and run more in this mission than
           most others. Those two factors make this one of the more difficult
           Autobot missions to Platinum simply because it takes time to seek
           out the enemies.

This is the first mission exclusively for Breakaway. Fly to each of the yellow
wrenches indicated on the radar. Each one marks an AA gun that needs repaired.
There is a total of 5 guns that need repaired on 4 different ships. The ships
with the damaged guns has a Decepticon that will transform when you land. It is
usually some sort of piece of construction equipment. When you land if you can 
knock the Decepticon into the water it is an instant kill. Repair the gun by 
holding the circle button when near it. The ship with the two damaged guns will
have an on board enemy but Breakaway will also encounter attacks from two
Decepticons on a distant ship. Use the sniper rifle to take them out before 
repairing the guns. Once all guns are repaired 5 humans will appear on 
different ships that need to be rescued. Fly to each location pick up the human
and place them safely on the central headquarters. Once all 5 are safe the 
mission is over. During the search and rescue Breakaway will come under heavy
fire. Attack when necessary and avoid danger with elusive flying as well as 
use of turbo.

Move to each of the red markers indicated on the radar and defeat Decepticons.
Once 28 have been defeated enough information has been obtained to find Sam's
position. Move to the warehouse Sam is exiting and pick him up. Drive him to 
the evacuation point. Once Sam arrives at the evacuation point a new 
Decepticon Grindor flies in. Grindor will try to attack from a distance at all
times. The first time I played this mission I chose Optimus Prime. Which isn't
a bad choice but Grindor may have been designed to be defeated with Breakaway
due to the Sniper Rifle option. Optimus will work though. Use the Shield 
regularly. Also save the overdrive you built up during the inital incursion for
a later point in the boss battle when Grindor attacks along side lesser known
enemies that you defeated during the first phase of the mission. Keep constant
fire on Grindor even when in his helicopter form. In fact there is not much of
a need to transform, staying in robot form allows for better attacking.

           fact that Starscream doesn't come to the final battle alone. It is

There is no real mystery with this mission. Using Ironhide is not a bad choice.
As you head to the power plant begin firing on the Decepticon in front of you.
Transform and finish it off if necessary. Once at the station many enemies will 
take positions on the surrounding rooftops (Breakaway may have been the 
intended Autobot for his sniper rifle). Place a turret and attack. Once the 
first group is down. Move to the TV station and protect it. By this time an
overdrive should be built up, use it. As long as you are the last bot standing
the station will be safe and the mission will be a success.

Breakaway sees the probe. Fire at it until it is destroyed then move through

Move straight over the structure ahead and into a Decepticon trap. Twelve 
enemies will attack. Activate Prime's shield and fire away. Once the enemies
are defeated head for the red icon on the radar to pick up Sam. Take Sam to 
the temple entrance. Upon arrival Megatron and Starscream make their 
appearnace. Megatron is quite simple (actually it seems it should have been
more difficult). Strafe from side to side and fire at Megatron with your 
Shield active. Stay on the move and fire constantly. Once Megatron falls move
to the red marker to help Jetfire take on Starscream. This fight is not 
difficult except for the fact that Starscream is airborn most of the time and
is on the move regularly.

Needless to say Devastator is the toughest boss as of yet. If Bumblebee gets 
too close to this Decepticon's legs its mission over and restart from the 
beginning. The first thing to do is get behind the monstrosity. Listen for 
your cue then begin firing at the weapons systems located on its back. When 
they are destroyed the focus turns to Devastor's hips. Again destroy this 
weapons system and Bumblebee must destroy one weapon on each of Devastator's
arms. Finally when that is accomlished there is a small portion of the forehead
that must be attacked. To do so Bumblebee must get in front of Devastator and
fire while watching to avoid his attacks. Not only do you have to negotiate
the large Decepticon but their are several smaller enemies to impede your 
progess along the way. For them I'd recommend a Special stun then your choice
of attack. Be patient during this battle and watch for angles to get good 
shots at the weapons systems and when you don't have a good shot keep firing
in its general location because you never know when an opportunity will present
itself.

The Fallen begins at the top of the pyramid. Fly up and enter hover mode. 
Fire at the Fallen. He may move to other sides of the pyramid. Watch the radar
to locate him if you lose his position. Once the Fallen receives too much 
damage he leaves his perch to engage in battle. While remaining in hover mode
watch as the Fallen will teleport around you. Fire at him whenever possible 
while avoiding his attacks. Sam will mention that the Fallen has friends and
Optimus will be attacked from the ground by Decepticons while the Fallen 
hides. Defeat the ground forces (Optimus can land or stay in the air) then 
the Fallen reappears on the top of the pyramid. Repeat this process until 
Optimus is being attacked by flying Decepticons that are not the Fallen. At
this time the Fallen's health should be fairly low and he will likely remain
at the top of the pyramid. Find him and fire while thinning out the other 
Decepticons as needed. Remember to use Optimus' shield regularly and overdrive
helps add damage to the Fallen. In fact this final stage of the battle when 
Optimus has to deal with the flying Decepticons and the Fallen is a good time
to unleash the overdrive that should have been earned by now. Also if you stay
near the ground and need to regain health. There is a large rock formation to
the left where you begin the fight. Optimus can hide their and channel the 
enemies to him easier.

There are 13 Autobots in this level. Destroy all 13 using Sideways. The

time. No special techniques are required just fire Sideways' primary weapon
until it overheats then alternate with the secondary weapon.

     -Take some time and find the three shot mentioned above and be able to

The initial choices are Long Haul and Sideways. I went with Long Haul for this
mission. There are three NEST communication arrays in the area. They are 
protected by a total of 10 Autobots. The Autobots are divided into groups, 3
at the first array, 3 at the second and 4 at the final array. Once the 
Autobots are defeated at the first array move to its location and hold the 
circle button while standing in the blue light. This will deactivate the 
array. Once an array is deactivated a new meter appears at the top center of
the screen. This is a time limit to reach the next array, defeat the Autobots
protecting it, and deactivate the array.

Long Haul is in this mission for the... Well I'm not finishing that stupid
cliche/pun.  Defeat the Autobot that comes raising to your location then
transform. Drive through the barricade and up the spiral highway. Along the
way fire Long Haul's vehicle weapon to destroy any impediements and defeat
some stray NEST soldiers. At the top the HQ will be encased by a blue dome.
Defeat the tanks in front of it and the airborn enemies nearby to deactivate
the dome. Now simply attack the HQ until it is destroyed. Jump down to the 
road below and begin to drive back the way you came. You should notice the 
road will fork. Take the road to the left and the next HQ will be nearby.
Drop down to the area around the HQ and defeat the NEST soldiers and
Autobots. Again when no enemies remain the HQ is open for attack.

When the second HQ is destroyed a brief cinematic will show Ironhide rolling
up for a fight. If you played the Autobot campaign you are very familiar with
Ironhide's abilities. His special is a turret that he can place that will
automatically attack his enemies with missiles. The turret's position as well
as Ironhide's are indicated on the radar. Do not fight Ironhide near a 
turret unless you destroy it first. The damage inflicted by basically two
combatants can be overwhelming. Use Long Haul's primary weapon when Ironhide
is at a distance. The Flamethrower works well at close range so use it when
Long Haul catches up to the Autobot. Ironhide may also climb the buildings
in town, this presents a great opportunity to get in some hits in while 
Ironhide is unprotected. Finally remember that Long Haul's special ability
is a healing factor, so if in a tight spot do not be afraid to gain some 
extra HP by using this skill.


Going for Platinum

     -Megatron (or Grindor)
    
     -There are two Skill Shots on the highway itself they can be ignored

     -Look over the edge of the highway and to the right when you arrive at
      the first NEST outpost and hit that Skill Shot

     -A fourth one can be found to the left of the highway on the way to the
      second outpost

     -Use Grindor or Megatron for this one Grindor can arrive at the HQs
      quicker due to flight but Megatron packs more punch against Ironhide
      either is a good choice and can make Platinum achievable

     -If using Megatron be sure to turbo your way to each HQ

     PLATINUM DIFFICULTY 5/10
        The only trouble you'll have is that Ironhide will not want to stand
        and fight

Transform the Decepticon into its vehicle form (Long Haul for me). Drive
through the red markers to trace the probe. Fire the vehicle weapon regularly
to clear a path and try to get one of the Bonus Objectives. If at any point
a marker is missed you will have to turn around and move through it. At two
markers once you clear the spiral highway, Autobot Probe Scouts will attack. 
They can be ignored or defeated your preference. Defeating them fullfills a 
bonus objective but increases the completion time.


Going for Platinum
------------------

     -Sideways seems like the best Decepticon for this mission due to his
      greater speed compared to Long Haul and Megatron
 
     -Immediately change to the secondary weapon and drive away

     -Basically it will take really good driving and probably all 5 Skill 
      Shots
 
     -The best way to get the Skill Shots is to jump as you approach and 
      shoot them with the secondary weapon

     -Skill Shot locations
         -Three skill shots are obtained while traveling down the Spiral 
          Highway
         -One is to the right in front of a building at ground level after
          exiting the Spiral Highway and passing by the Autobot Probe Scout.
          This one is well hidden and may require a trial run just to locate
          the shot (it can be helpful)
         -The last shot is right before finding the probe in mid air. When
          you near the last beacon tranform hit it then begin firing at the
          probe

     -Don't forget their is a turbo ability in vehicle form (it should 
      definitely be used after getting the third shot on the Spiral Highway)

     -Missing a Beacon will take away precious time

     -Make sure you do not falter at the site where the road forks, the right
      fork is the way to go
     
     -When you get near the end prepare to transform hit a Skill Shot and fire
      at the probe quickly

   PLATINUM DIFFICULTY 8/10 
      -The Decepticon Race missions are some of the more difficult Platinums
       to obtain. A few trial runs and mastering the ability to jump/shoot the
       Skill Shots on the Spiral Highway will be the key.

Sideways is in search of Grindor. Defeat a couple of waves of Autobots, one
at the beginning and the second at the construction site nearby. Once they are
defeated a flashing red marker will appear on the radar indicating Grindor's
location. He is under attack. Race to his position and defeat the incoming
Autobots. Heal Grindor by holding the circle button next to him. Move toward
the extraction point but not too quickly or Grindor will not follow. In fact
you practically have to follow Grindor because he doesn't exactly take a 
good quick route to the extraction point. Along the way the Decepticons will 
meet some resistance. Watch the radar to pinpoint where the attacks will come
from then alternate between primary and secondary fire to destroy them.
Grindor will add some fire power but be prepared to do most of the work 
yourself.


Going for Platinum
------------------ 

   -Use Megatron

   -Memorize Grinodor's path through the crates

   -Hit the at least the Skill shots at:
       -Grindor's initial position
       -Building to the right just before the extraction point
       -Above the extraction point
   
   -Save Overdrive to the end to fend off all Autobots keeping Grindor from
    the extraction point

This mission is custom made for Grindor (mostly because he is the only option
available initially). There are five arrays that need to be hacked. Each array
is guarded by 3 to 5 Auotobots. The early arrays are protected by 3 but as
you proceed the total will increase to 5. Use Grindor's Turret ability to 
help with the attack. Once each Autobot is destroyed hack into the array by
holding circle near it. Once an array is hacked a timer starts. The next 
array needs to be hacked  before the meter empties. 


Going for Platinum

    -Grindor's flight ability helps to navigate between the arrays quickly

There are 16 Autobots scattered around the map. Defeat all 16 only to have
Breakaway join the battle. Once Breakaway appears he is your primary concern.
There will be other Autobots that attempt to interfere with your evil plans.
Dispose of the underlings as needed but the focus should remain on tracking
and attacking Breakaway. The primary trouble with the fight is that Breakaway
will not stay put. He flies from rooftop to rooftop. Continue to give chase
and use the overdrive power up you probably either have or are close to 
getting. The battle should not be too strenuous except for the fact that 
Breakaway fights like a scared bot.



Going for Platinum

Starscream had better not disappoint this time. His only task is to locate 
and capture a puny fleshling. What could go wrong? In route to the first 
NEST safehouse watch for Autobots to move up through the canal and attack
while in jet form. Land and continue firing. Defeat the 4 Autobots then 
destroy the building coated in a red film (check the radar). The building
goes down rather quickly using Starscream's primary weapon. Move to the other
two safehouses and do the same. After destruction of one safehouse the next
does not appear on radar until all the attacking Autobots are destroyed. Upon
destruction of the third safehouse, Galloway will exit. Pick him up and fly
to the extraction point. Once there fend of 6 incoming Autobots to complete 
the mission.

This mission is simply about the destruction of Autobots. A total of 16 
enemies will invade the area, usually in waves of 4 to 5. Defeat all of them
to complete the mission. The great thing about this mission is, its nothing
but action. Fight the Autobots how you choose, any combination of attack 
strategies used in previous levels should work. A balanced approach, 
alternating between primary and secondary fire is appropriate.


Going for Platinum
------------------

     -Use overdrive at the beginning of a new wave of Autobots
     
     -Don't wait for the Autobots to find you fly to their location and
      attack while in flight

     -The skill shots are not necessary to platinum this mission

     -Though the Skill Shots are not needed for Platinum its likely you will
      hit/see a them during battle and hitting them can not hurt your time

     -Platinum Difficulty 2/10
        If you can get a Platinum time without Skill Shots it can not be too
        difficult

Fly to each of the yellow markers on the radar. The markers indicate the 
position of a defense turret. There are eight total and several of the battle
carriers have two. The Transformers on the ships are usually Decepticons
there to assist Starscream so there is no need to attack them. Don't get too
over confident though, there will be an Autobot presence. The Autobots will
generally be flying in the area and switch to hover mode to attack. They can
primarily be ignored. Focus on the mission at hand and destroy the turrets.
Once the turrets are gone some of the smaller ships will glow red. Starscream
must destroy all of these ships indicated by yellow markers on the radar. 
Again ignore the Autobot attackers for the most part and focus on the naval
fleet. There are three ways to attack the boats: 1) Stay in vehicle form and
circle the area attacking  2) hover near the boats and attack  3) land on a
battle carrier and attack the fleet. A combination of the three is best with
a emphasis on landing on the battle carriers. It seems that when Starscream
hovers the Autobots focus their attack on him more, whereas landing on the
battle carrier can provide some cover and decreased damage.

Twelve Autobots are on their way to engage Grindor. Throw down a Turret and
begin attacking. Defeating the Autobots gives the Decepticons Sam's Location.
Move to the red marker and attack the building. When Sam exits pick him up and
fly to the extraction point. The mission is not over yet. The Autobots do not
want Sam to fall into Decepticon hands. They attack in several waves. Activate
a turret and now is a good time to use the Overdrive built up during the first
part of the mission. The quicker the Autobots are defeated the more likely 
Grindor is to survive.

the scouts they will not present any real danger. At the last beacon transform
and fire at the probe.

There is no Decepticon more appropriate for a battle against Optimus Prime 
than his arch nemesis Megatron. The initial Autobots are easily defeated just
as they have been for most every mission so far. Megatron's Special is an
instant kill when it hits so use it as needed. When the no-name Autobots are
defeated Optimus Prime makes his appearance. Activate Overdrive and fire like
crazy. Prime basically will fire his primary weapon and back away or charge.
With Overdrive active Megatron can withstand Prime's attack and keep constant
fire on the Autobot leader.


Going for Platinum
------------------

     -Megatron is a good choice. His stats make him the most powerful of the
      Decepticons.
 
     -This is another Decepticon mission where the Skill Shots are not that
      important. If you see one hit it but don't go out of the way to seek
      them out.

     -Megatron is a good melee character and will do some sever damage with
      his advance melee attack. Rush to Autobots and start with this maneuver.

     -Save the Overdrive for the battle against Optimus Prime. The Overdrive
      almost makes the fight unfair (but since we're Decepticons we don't care
      about fairness).

     -PLATINUM DIFFICULTY: 3/10
         -The initial Autobots are over matched and Optimus falls fast with
          Overdrive active.

Drive to the sight of the power plant and unleash all of Long Haul's attacks.
Start with missiles then switch to the flamethrower. Timely healing will allow
Long Haul to ignore the Autobots. Once all of the structures at the power 
plant (including towers) are destroyed, drive to the TV Station. Again ignore
the Autobots and circle the building attacking with the flamethrower. The 
building will not be able to withstand the heat from Long Haul's attack for
long. Once the station crumbles to the ground, transform and drive to the 
extraction zone and drive into the yellow beacon.

Twenty Autobots will attack in the area around the ruins. Defeating the twenty
is not that bad. Just stay out of the open area in the center of the ruins 
where Megatron can be hit from multiple sides. Remember his special is an
instant kill against the lesser known Autobots. Once the twenty are defeated,
Bumblbee and Jetfire appear. Attack Bumblebee initially then focus on Jetfire.
It seems that initially attacking Bumblebee forces him to retreat and can 
separte the two Autobots making allowing for a fairer battle. The faster you 
take out Jetfire the easier the battle becomes. By this time you should have 
an Overdrive available (hopefully you didn't have to use it against the 
twenty), use it to attack Jetfire. Also when Jetfire enters hover mode he is 
in great position to use the Megatron's Special Attack. With Jetfire defeated 
seek out Bumblebee and alternate between Megatron's two fire modes. Bumblebee 
will move around a little too much for the special to be real effective. If 
you can target Bumblebee and use it the Fusion Arm Cannon is an asset. If you 
frequently miss though, the primary and secondary weapons are better choices. 
Finally, if Megatron is taking too much damage there is no shame in a 
temporary retreat (just ask Starscream) to heal. 


Going for Platinum
------------------
    
     -Megatron
    
     -Destroy the initial Autobots as quick as possible

     -When the flying Autobots land they are sitting ducks for Megatron's Fusion
        cannon, as are the large flame throwing Autobots

     -Megatron's special builds Overdrive quickly the more kills with it the 
      more Overdrive you may be able to use
 
     -During the boss fight attack Bumblebee at first and he will likely run 
      after taking some damage (one time he got stuck running into the ruins 
      and took more damage than normal). After he runs Jetfire will attack from
      above unleash an Overdrive and take him out fast. Now just go find a 
      weakened Bumblebee and finish the job

     -Practically everytime I've played this mission the two on one doesn't work
      out that way they will usually split

     -Skill Shots
         -Turn around at the beginning (can't miss it)
         -At entrance to ruins
         -Inside ruins opposite the entrance

     PLATINUM DIFFICULTY 5/10
          -This Platinum is much more difficult if Jetfire and Bumblebee do not
           split. There combination of attacks (ground and air) can be too much
           for any Decepticon.

Long Haul is the only Decepticon unlocked for this mission. Move to the red 
marker indicating the Axiom Gun's position. There is a blue force field that
protects it while it reloads between firing. Attack it every time the shield
is down. Use Long Haul's Grenades as the primary attack because the when the
shield reforms it sends a shockwave that will damage all nearby Decepticons.
Heal regularly because of the incoming Autobot attackers. While the shield is
active it doesn't hurt to take out some Autobot scum but be sure to watch for
an opportunity to attack the primary objective, the gun.


Going for Platinum
------------------
     
     -Starscream
 
     -For the quickest times hit all the Skill shots before the Axiom first 
      fires then use Null Reactor an unleash all Starscreams fury
        
     -Skill Shots
        -One is at the top of the domed building on the flight to the Axiom gun
        -The other four are highly visible on the nearby buildings
 
     PLATINUM DIFFICULTY 1/10
          -This is a ridiculously easy Platinum time. If it hasn't changed the
           leaderboard top time is just over 2 seconds. If someone can beat the
           level in two seconds there shouldn't be a problem doing so in 180
           seconds.

The Fallen takes a position at the top of the pyramid. Fly up opposite him
and fire. Using Megatron's Arm Canon when the Fallen is on the top of the 
pyramid is a good idea. Once the Fallen has received enough damage he leaves
his position on the pyramid and will teleport around Megatron attacking. Using
the radar locate him and fire away. When he returns to the pyramid, the Fallen
calls in for some back up. Remain hovering and defeat the enemies below. Once
they are gone the Fallen reappears. Repeat the cycle of attacking the Fallen
on the pyramid then in air and defeating the minions below until victory is
a obtained.


Going for Platinum
------------------

     -Megatron

     -Hit the Fallen with the Fusion Cannon when he is a top the pyramid

     -Skills Shots (described while standing at the start looking at the Fallen)
         -There are three doorways located on the map: To the right, left, and
          behind the pyramid the Fallen stands on
         -Behind the pyramid near the base
         -To the left of the pyramid on the back of a broken wall

     PLATINUM DIFFICULTY 4/10
          -The Fallen is not so tough when faced with Megatron's Fusion Cannon.
           Defeating him within the alotted time is possible even without the
           use of the Skill Shots.
