'''Datafile Decoder''' is an online game.<br />
<br />
With the [[Autobot|Autobots]] own communications jammed, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] contacts the [[Lunchables Brigade]], warning of the Decepticons imminent arrival. He directs them to download essential datafiles from Cybertron via [[Cybertron Galactic Systems]]. However the Brigade must also ''decode'' the datafiles before passing them on to the Autobots.<br />
<br />
''The decoding would apparently be unnecessary if the Autobots had downloaded them directly, perhaps Cybertron Galactic Systems would not send send uncoded files over an unsecure connection?<br />
<br />
It is not clear why Datafiles on the Autobots were among those being sent.<br />
<br />
<br />
Solving the Datafiles involves matching and assembling rotating sections of robot outlines with increasingly short time limits. Once all the codes have been solved, a screen saver with two bonus profiles ([[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]) is unlocked.<br />
<br />
[[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]'s bios can be decoded merely by speed-solving their puzzles, but the other 6 first need to be unlocked by entering codes that can be found on select Lunchables eating-products.<br />
<br />
Codes: <!--Blackout, Ironhide, Megatron, Bumblebee... and i can't remember which goes with which code.--><br />
* Freedom - [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]<br />
* Loyal - [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]<br />
* Mislead - [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]<br />
* Power - [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]<br />
* Protect - [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]<br />
* Strike - [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* As was frequently the case for Movie bios as 'exclusive' content, the biographies on the Datafile Decoder site appear to have been written specifically for that outlet.<br />
* This is Lunchables second movie co-promotion with the Transformers. The [http://www.kraftbrands.com/lunchables/maxedOut_standAlone.htm Lunchables Maxed Out] webpage included exclusive interviews, a glow-in-the-dark 'transforming' poster giveaway and [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/36da5c9d34185ed9?dmode=source yet another set of bios] for the movie characters.<br />
* Most of Ratchet's Datafile is blank and 'classified' for reasons unknown.<br />
