Pretty dumb to show the release date (US, not JP) ''even though it was mentioned EARLIER.'' *Deep sigh* {{unsigned|69.19.14.42}}
:The English screening date at the top is for when it was screened in the UK (its first English screening). The date in the trivia is for when it screened in the US a couple of days later. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 22:35, 10 August 2011 (EDT)

'''With Optimus in the repair bay, Jetfire is the Autobots' best hope against the Decepticons.'''

:''Polish title:'' "'''Połączenie'''"

==Synopsis==
[[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] has been badly damaged in a recent battle with the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]], and the prognosis is uncertain. [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] tells the kids that [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] will take over Optimus's role while the leader is in the repair bay. [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] is not impressed by Jetfire's overconfident bragging, and neither are the kids.

[[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] is also unimpressed, but at the failure of [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]]'s plan. [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] and [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] are merely amused by its failure, and Thrust blames it on a miscalculation in the form of Jetfire. He says he'll come up with a new plan and takes some shooting stars as a sure sign of victory.

The [[Autobot|Autobots]] discuss Thrust and how he led the Decepticons to victory on the planets [[Vector]], [[Orga]] and [[Duke (planet)|Duke]], almost wiping out the Autobots. [[Carlos Lopez|Carlos]] thinks that while they have Jetfire on their team, they don't have anything to worry about on that score. [[High Wire (Armada)|High Wire]] attempts to report to Jetfire, but the Autobot doesn't speak [[Mini-Con]], and [[Rad White|Rad]] has to translate that there's a suspicious bot flying over the base. They soon recognise Thrust, and Jetfire immediately runs off to confront the Decepticon.

Thrust takes off as soon as he sees Jetfire coming, goading the Autobot into following. Unsurprisingly, they reach a zone where the Decepticons are waiting, and the kids plead with Jetfire not to fire on the swarm of Mini-Cons accompanying them. He assures them he won't and shoots at Cyclonus, who protests that Thrust said the Autobot wouldn't fire with the Mini-Cons around. Thrust orders the Mini-Cons to attack, and soon Jetfire is being strafed with laser fire. Starscream closes in, but Jetfire is able to dodge the null laser cannon.

At base, the Autobots puzzle over how they're going to help Jetfire, when [[Alexis Thi Dang|Alexis]] spots an island near where the battle is taking place. [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]], Hot Shot and [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]] warp to the island, and Smokescreen prepares to fire his longarm cannon, but is blasted by Demolishor and [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]]. Demolishor boasts that Thrust's plan is to steal the Skyboom shield and opens fire on the Autobots, who are forced to use the shield for cover.

[[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]], still at base, admires the Decepticons' trap, but the kids think he should take action. Rad contacts Red Alert in the repair bay, informs him of the situation, and lets him know they need Optimus.

[[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] arrives on the island and tells his men to get on with it and demand the Shield from the Autobots. At Hot Shot's goading, Megatron calls the Star Saber to him and begins the attack anew. Hot Shot suggests they should withdraw. Smokescreen is confident the Skyboom Shield will protect them, but the other two Autobots talk him into withdrawing. The trio begin their escape, hampered by the Decepticons' weapons fire.

Jetfire attempts to come to their aid, but is surrounded by the [[Air Military Mini-Con Team]] and is again almost blasted by Starscream. He flies towards the Decepticon, but is grazed by a blast from the null laser cannon. Again surrounded by the Mini-Cons, he's unable to take a shot at Thrust.

Red Alert reports that Optimus is almost combat ready, and Carlos stresses the urgency of the situation.

On the island, Megatron has Smokescreen pinned down while Blurr and Hot Shot are busy with Demolishor and Sideways.

While Red Alert and Scavenger are about to join the battle, an alarm indicates that someone's in the launch area: Optimus Prime! Though Red Alert and the kids protest that he's not ready, Optimus asks to be warped to Jetfire's coordinates.

As Thrust and Starscream prepare to finish off Jetfire, Optimus appears overhead. The Autobot leader freefalls towards Jetfire, and the pair [[Powerlinx|combine]]. After making short work of Starscream, Optimus flies to the island and knocks Megatron into the ocean. For an encore, he picks up Demolishor and drops the protesting Decepticon into the water as well. Sideways wisely retreats. The impressed kids cheer.

Optimus suggests to Jetfire that he might want to be a bit more cautious next time, to which the Autobot says he's learnt his lesson.

==Quotes==

"He'll be signing autographs later."
:—'''Hot Shot''' on Jetfire's smug boasting

"It's time for you to taste my plasma blaster. See if this makes your teeth whiter and brighter."
:—'''Jetfire''', shooting at Cyclonus

"I am Demolishor, the fierce Decepticon warrior!"
:—'''Demolishor''' introduces himself 26 episodes too late.

"In your dreams! If you want it, why don't you come and get it? That is, unless you're a little bit of a wimp. Well, are ya?"
:—'''Hot Shot''' taunts Megatron. Brave lad.

"They don't call him Starscream for nothing."
:—'''Optimus''' after Starscream falls screaming through the clouds

==Notes==
===Differences with ''Micron Legend''===
* Although numerous minor changes were made to the animation in ''Micron Legend'', "Linkup" is one of the most prominent examples. Multiple scenes were completely redrawn and reanimated with higher quality animation, in comparison to the ''Armada'' airings. Among the changes: problems such as Jet Optimus being drawn in his Super Mode colors, along with having the wrong legs, have been fixed, while numerous close-up shots were also redrawn. <ref>[http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Knight/6670/my_micron/armada-legend.html Comparisons between screenshots]</ref>
* Convoy was in the repair bay for maintainence and was told not to leave to help Jetfire as the maintainence was incomplete and a lot of his important systems had not been rebooted.

===Animation and/or technical glitches===
*In the overhead shot of Hot Shot, Blurr and Smokescreen retreating, Smokescreen doesn't have the Skyboom Shield.
*Thrust refers to the Air Military Mini-Con Team as the Air ''Defence'' Mini-Con Team (who are busy being the Star Saber).
*The combined form of Optimus and Jetfire is referred to throughout as "Jet Convoy", the Japanese name for Jet Optimus.
*Jet Optimus is drawn incorrectly twice. When firing at Starscream, his chest is colored red instead of white, and has a Decepticon [[insignia]]. Later, when Jet Optimus is landing on the island, he is shown with his lower body being his trailer, instead of it being Jetfire.
*Multiple times, Carlos' eyes have whites.

===Continuity errors===
*Optimus didn't really seem so badly damaged at the end of "[[Tactician]]" that he'd require a whole episode in the repair bay.

===Transformers references===
===Real-world references===
===Trivia===
*"Linkup" first aired in the United States on [[January 29]], [[2003]].
*Shooting stars on the moon are not possible, because it has no atmosphere for objects to burn up in.

'''Scavenger introduces the Autobots to Blurr, the Autobot who nobody really gets along with.'''

:''Polish title:'' "'''Wsparcie'''"

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Reinforcement-Demolishor target practice.jpg|left|155px|thumb|Let the guy with gun-fingers hold onto the valuable item? Brilliant!]]
Another day at the office wherein the [[Autobot|Autobots]] battle the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] for a [[Mini-Con]]. From the Autobots' base, the kids watch (with [[Billy (Armada)|Billy]] and [[Fred (Armada)|Fred]] also there this time). While [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] holds off the Autobots, [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] digs up the Mini-Con. [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], in a rare moment of competence, blasts away Red Alert's attempt to snipe at Demolishor. But just as the Decepticons teleport home, the Mini-Con is blasted from Demolishor's hands by a new Autobot, who [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] introduces as [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]]. Blurr activates the Mini-Con panel, who turns out to be [[Incinerator (Armada)|Incinerator]].

Returning home from victory, the Autobots are greeted by the kids, who show interest in their new friend Blurr, who barely acknowledges the kids.

[[Image:Reinforcement-Blurr's people skills.jpg|right|155px|thumb]]
Later, Incinerator makes beepy conversation with the Street Action Mini-Cons. The five kids try to start conversation with Blurr, but are sidetracked by the topic of Fred's big fat stomach. When [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] arrives, Blurr icily departs. [[Carlos Lopez|Carlos]] and Billy give chase and Blurr almost mistakes them for the enemy when they jump out and surprise him. Hot Shot tries to break through Blurr's tough guy persona, and Blurr explains that he doesn't need to have a personality.

The Decepticons detect the activation of a new Mini-Con and head out. Demolishor takes extra caution to not lose the Mini-Con at the last minute as he did last time. And Megatron barely registers that the two captured panels containing the components of the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom Shield]] have started to resonate.

The Decepticons arrive at the general location where the Mini-Con ([[Downshift (Armada)|Downshift]]) has already activated and begun to run laps around a human-made racetrack. The Autobots show up soon after and try to intercept the Mini-Con. Hot Shot and Blurr give chase, while the rest of the Autobots and Decepticons get into a standing firefight.

[[Image:Reinforcement-Cyclonus yoink.jpg|left|155px|thumb|Yoink!]]
On the track, Hot Shot and Blurr have conflicting direction, and impact each other a few times. Blurr, however, is unresponsive. [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] uses his Mini-Con [[Liftor]] to blast away [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]], and Cyclonus. Blurr and Hot Shot have to stop and combine with their Mini-Cons to overcome the chasm interrupting the racetrack.

On the other side of the track, Blurr, in car mode, begins to rotate rapidly, blowing away Cyclonus and blowing the Mini-Con into the empty stands. Blurr opens up fire on the Mini-Con, causing it to fall beneath the stands where Hot Shot catches it, to Blurr's confusion. Cyclonus yanks the Mini-Con away and the Decepticons retreat.

[[Image:Reinforcement-Fist pound at sunset.jpg|right|155px|thumb|Robo-terrorist fist jab!]]
At the Autobot base, the kids scold Hot Shot for not getting along with Blurr. Hot Shot heads to apologize to Blurr, who appreciates the sentiment and concedes that he was unaware that the Mini-Cons were more than just tools, and that he doesn't interact with others very smoothly. Hot Shot and Blurr give each other respect knuckles like the first episode, and everybody is happy they made a new special friend.

On the moon, Megatron returns with Downshift to discover that [[Dirt Boss (Armada)|Dirt Boss]] and [[Mirage (Armada)|Mirage]] have unlocked on their own, and they combine to form the Skyboom Shield.

'''At another battle for a Mini-Con panel, Megatron schemes to have the Star Saber handed to him.'''

:''Polish title:'' "'''Intryga'''"

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Conspiracy-Showoff.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Demolisher's not too proud (or not proud AT ALL!) of Starscream's new [[Hot Shot (Armada)|sword]].]]
The [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] are enjoying their recent success. [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] casually provokes [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] into attacking, and then tauntingly holds the tank off with the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]]. Starscream walks away, laughing, while [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]], characteristically observing events from a distance, predicts that Starscream's arrogance will cause the faction's eventual failure.

In the [[Autobot]] base, things are looking down. [[Billy (Armada)|Billy]] and [[Fred (Armada)|Fred]] unintentionally lay the blame with [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]]. Later, when a repaired Hot Shot is watching the sunset, his moping is interrupted by the five kids making really, really stupid faces. This display of crazy expression cheers the Autobot up. As soon as he's regained his enthusiasm, Hot Shot is called to go on another mission.

[[Image:Conspiracy-Hot Shot vs Sideways.jpg|right|200px|thumb|You're gonna beat 'im... but he's not gonna play fair! OK, he's gonna bump you. BUMP!]]
In thick foliage, the Autobots and Decepticons all split up to search for the [[Mini-Con]]. Demolishor and Starscream again prepare to clash, but [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] puts his underlings back in line. Once the other Decepticons leave, Megatron instructs [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]] to put "the plan" in motion.

While considering his own ambitions, Starscream comes under attack from laser fire, which is heard by everybody else. Starscream, not seeing his assailant, displays his power by slashing a tree, and then almost accidentally attacks the other Decepticons.

Hot Shot runs into [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]], who transforms and drives away. Hot Shot chases after the traitor and heads right into Scavenger, who taunts Hot Shot while dodging the Autobot's attacks with ease.

[[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus]], [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]], [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]], [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], Starscream, and Demolishor engage in an open firefight. Starscream comes under fire from Leader-1 once again and, unable to see the tiny Mini-Con, again almost accidentally slices Demolishor. Megatron, however, is able to leap out and block the slash. The Decepticons inquire as to why Starscream is attacking his comrades, and eventually it's agreed that Megatron should hold the Star Saber.

[[Image:Conspiracy-Welcome back.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Sorry, we used our Sure caption for G1.]]
[[Laserbeak (Armada)|Laserbeak]], remote piloted by the kids, finds the Mini-Con panel. At the same time, Demolishor's Mini-Con also finds the panel. The Autobots and Decepticons engage each other once more, and Optimus forms his Super mode. Sideways and Hot Shot again race each other. By recalling what Scavenger said earlier, Hot Shot is able to defeat the motorbike. Back at the battle, Scavenger grabs onto the Mini-Con panel, and the Decepticons return to base.

'''At another battle for a Mini-Con panel, Megatron schemes to have the Star Saber handed to him.'''

:''Polish title:'' "'''Intryga'''"

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Conspiracy-Showoff.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Demolisher's not too proud (or not proud AT ALL!) of Starscream's new [[Hot Shot (Armada)|sword]].]]
The [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] are enjoying their recent success. [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] casually provokes [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] into attacking, and then tauntingly holds the tank off with the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]]. Starscream walks away, laughing, while [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]], characteristically observing events from a distance, predicts that Starscream's arrogance will cause the faction's eventual failure.

In the [[Autobot]] base, things are looking down. [[Billy (Armada)|Billy]] and [[Fred (Armada)|Fred]] unintentionally lay the blame with [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]]. Later, when a repaired Hot Shot is watching the sunset, his moping is interrupted by the five kids making really, really stupid faces. This display of crazy expression cheers the Autobot up. As soon as he's regained his enthusiasm, Hot Shot is called to go on another mission.

[[Image:Conspiracy-Hot Shot vs Sideways.jpg|right|200px|thumb|You're gonna beat 'im... but he's not gonna play fair! OK, he's gonna bump. BUMP!]]
In thick foliage, the Autobots and Decepticons all split up to search for the [[Mini-Con]]. Demolishor and Starscream again prepare to clash, but [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] puts his underlings back in line. Once the other Decepticons leave, Megatron instructs [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]] to put "the plan" in motion.

While considering his own ambitions, Starscream comes under attack from laser fire, which is heard by everybody else. Starscream, not seeing his assailant, displays his power by slashing a tree, and then almost accidentally attacks the other Decepticons.

Hot Shot runs into [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]], who transforms and drives away. Hot Shot chases after the traitor and heads right into Scavenger, who taunts Hot Shot while dodging the Autobot's attacks with ease.

[[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus]], [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]], [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]], [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], Starscream, and Demolishor engage in an open firefight. Starscream comes under fire from Leader-1 once again and, unable to see the tiny Mini-Con, again almost accidentally slices Demolishor. Megatron, however, is able to leap out and block the slash. The Decepticons inquire as to why Starscream is attacking his comrades, and eventually it's agreed that Megatron should hold the Star Saber.

[[Image:Conspiracy-Welcome back.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Sorry, we used our Sure caption for G1.]]
[[Laserbeak (Armada)|Laserbeak]], remote piloted by the kids, finds the Mini-Con panel. At the same time, Demolishor's Mini-Con also finds the panel. The Autobots and Decepticons engage each other once more, and Optimus forms his Super mode. Sideways and Hot Shot again race each other. By recalling what Scavenger said earlier, Hot Shot is able to defeat the motorbike. Back at the battle, Scavenger grabs onto the Mini-Con panel, and the Decepticons return to base.

At the Decepticon base, the Mini-Con resonates with the other yellow Mini-Con panel. Scavenger then announces that his time with the Decepticons is over. He soon arrives at the Autobot base, and Optimus orders Red Alert to let the Decepticon inside. Shaking hands with Optimus, Scavenger reveals that his entire time with the Decepticons was as an Autobot spy.

Talk:Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)

2011-08-11T01:52:27Z

69.19.14.42: OOP! (again)

I am not going to buy this game and a DS as well just so we can do this damn article properly. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 14:51, 3 July 2010 (EDT)
:I can help. I have both versions. It's just that I'm a bit busy right now.[[User:Bobbington|Bobbington]] 17:26, 3 July 2010 (EDT)
:I have both games right here in front of me. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 19:50, 3 July 2010 (EDT)
::I plan on getting the game some time this month, so I'll be able to fill it in when I do. I just hope it's not a plotless piece of crap like the ROTF DS game. That one was a serious letdown after the first movie's DS game. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 19:52, 3 July 2010 (EDT)

== Organic creatures? I don't know... ==
This article calls the Ground crawlers and Swarms organic. They don't seem organic to me. The ground crawlers just seem like smaller [[Space slug]]s (they can even make force fields) which are definately mechanical life and I don't see anything in-game about the swarm that doesn't suggest mechanical life as well. Is there a source I've missed or am forgetting for these being organic life, or was someone just making a wild assumption that should be removed? --[[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 15:23, 6 September 2010 (EDT)
:I made the "wild assumption". It's hard to tell with the DS graphics, but they did look organic to me. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 16:50, 6 September 2010 (EDT)
::DS graphics ''are'' primitive, but they don't look particularly organic to me. They're both pixelly enough to be either. The Swarm could be little insecticons like in RotF as esily as anything, as they're really just a couple of triangular polygons each. But we know there IS mechanical "animal" life on WfC Cybertron. Given that the ground crawlers look just like little little Space slugs which are definately mechanical and they have mechanical-abillities (force fields) if there isn't any evidence that they AREN'T native mechanical life I think we need to assume they are.

:::The swarms come from organic-looking blobby yellow nests, and the large ones (oh, how I wish I'd found a way to take decent screengrabs off the DS!) are large enough to have structure to them. On reflection, it does seem likely that ground crawlers are mechanical. I'm still not sure about the swarms though! :) --[[User:Abates|abates]] 17:39, 6 September 2010 (EDT)

== Nolan North additional credit ==

Nolan North voices other characters rather than Brawl... even though there's no other character TO play. Hmm maybe he plays Kup and "New Guy" --[[User:Kaon Prisoner|Kaon Prisoner]] 19:15, 6 May 2011 (EDT)
:Pretty much all of the main cast are credited with "additional voices" though. I think the additional voices credit for the DS is just copied from the console version, which has generic dudes talking all over the place. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 19:46, 6 May 2011 (EDT)

Ed O' Ross (is that how you spell his name?) Is the Odd one out cos he does ''not'' voice any of the main cast. Should this be mentioned on the trivia? --[[Special:Contributions/69.19.14.41|69.19.14.41]] 14:37, 25 May 2011 (EDT)
