It was developed by [[High Moon Studios]] and published by [[Activision Blizzard|Activision]], and it is set in the [[Aligned continuity family]] in the ancient days of the [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]ian war. The game is an over-the-shoulder third-person shooter in which the player can choose his or her character from a small roster of either [[Autobot]]s or [[Decepticon]]s. It was released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at Sears stores on [[June 17]], [[2010]]. On [[June 22]], those and the PC version were released to the broader market.<br /> <br /> Companion games, [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|two for the Nintendo DS]] and [[Transformers: Cybertron Adventures|one for the Wii]], were developed by [[Vicarious Visions]] and [[Next Level Games]], respectively.<br /> <br /> {{quote|One shall stand.|Optimus}}<br /> :{{quote|One shall fall.|Megatron}}<br /> <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> [[Image:WarforCybertron-OptimusPrime.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Prime auditions for Unreal Tournament. There were no survivors.]]<br /> Unlike previous ''Transformers'' video games which feature distinctly separate campaigns for the Autobots and the Decepticons (traditionally depicting the playable faction utterly defeating the other), ''War for Cybertron'' features a single, linear storyline; the Decepticon campaign occurs chronologically before the Autobot campaign, but [[Fandom|fans]] can play through them in whichever order they prefer.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/seibertron-qa-with-activision-makers-of-war-for-cybertron/17548/ Seibertron Q&amp;A with Activision]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> {{note|The novel ''[[Transformers: Exodus]]'' was, naturally, promoted as being in the same [[continuity]] as the game. In practice, however, the two stories differ substantially on many details. The first fifteen chapters of ''Exodus'' chronicle the backstory of the war, with an interlude by Alpha Trion placed between them and the remaining of the thirty-nine chapters. Events akin to the ''War for Cybertron'' campaigns do take place in the second portion of the novel, but the settings, details, and involved parties change in each case. Below, in italics, are brief descriptions of the parallel events that take place in ''Exodus''.}}<br /> <br /> ===Decepticon Campaign===<br /> '''Chapter I: Dark Energon'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]], [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]], [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]<br /> *Boss: [[Autobot Swarm]]<br /> <br /> It is the waning days of the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] before the Transformers come to Earth. [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]], genuinely believing a caste system will bring Cybertron back to its [[Golden Age]], is researching a dangerous power source known as [[Dark Energon]] to fuel his conquest of the planet. Megatron discovers that the factory that produces Dark Energon is guarded by a neutral army led by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], and he leads an attack on the station. After his ship crashes into the hull of the station, Megatron, [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]] and [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]] defeat Starscream's army and harness the power of the Dark Energon. Cornered, Starscream tells Megatron that he's the only one who knows how to make more of the energon and that he will help the Decepticon leader if Megatron takes him into his army. Megatron reluctantly agrees to this. Doing this also causes Jetfire to lose trust in Starscream and warn Zeta Prime of their ambitions. <br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 18-19, Megatron laid claim to Trypticon Station and the Dark Energon contained within. By this point in the war, however, Starscream was already a full member of the Decepticon army. The Dark Energon was his trump card in case he ever chose to betray Megatron to the Autobots. The taking of Trypticon Station happened largely behind the scenes in the novel, without Starscream actively defending it — Megatron took advantage of a rare absence of Starscream from the station to make it his own. He returned from an errand to find his loyal pack of Decepticons brutalized by Megatron's gladiators, and his power base usurped. ''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter II: Fuel of War'''<br /> *Characters available: Starscream, [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]]<br /> *Boss: [[Cybertron's Sentinel]]<br /> Megatron sends the [[seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] to reactivate the ancient [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge|Energon Bridge]] that will produce new Dark Energon. After encountering Autobot [[security probe]]s, strange jelly-fish-like life forms, and fighting legions of Autobot defenders, they succeed. They then start the assault on Iacon.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 22, Starscream and his Seekers reactivate the Geosynchronous Energon Bridge to help Megatron conduct Energon from Cybertron's core to Trypticon Station. The events are basically the same as the game.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter III: [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] Destroyed'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]]<br /> *Boss: [[Sentinel Zeta Prime‎|Zeta Prime]]<br /> With his new powers, Megatron takes the fight straight to the Autobot's capital city. While Starscream and Brawl lead the main attack on the city, Megatron takes Soundwave and Breakdown on a flanking attack to recover the Omega Key, which will allow him to access the core of the planet. Arriving at the key's holding place, the Decepticons learn that the Autobot leader Zeta Prime has taken it to keep it safe. The team regroup with Brawl and Starscream, and use Dark Energon bombers to eliminate the remaining Autobots before storming the building in which Zeta Prime is waiting. Megatron defeats the Autobot leader, stealing the Omega Key and punching a hole in his chest. Zeta reveals that the key Megatron has just stolen only activates the ''real'' Omega Key, and that soon '''it''' will find '''him'''. Suddenly [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|a huge ship awakens and takes off.]]This is the autobots last line of defense.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 24-27, Megatron led a group of Decepticons to capture the Code Key of Justice while Starscream acquired the Code Key of Power. Together, the two could access the Plasma Energy Chamber. He was confronted with Sentinel Prime at the end, but only because the Prime had been Starscream's prisoner up until that point, and the Seeker commander had released Sentinel to delay Megatron. After defeating Sentinel Prime in personal combat (no holographic death rooms), Megatron found the Key inside Sentinel's body. At that moment, Teletraan-1 reactivated Omega Supreme to protect the Plasma Energy Chamber from Megatron, at Starscream's secret behest.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter IV: Death of Hope'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, Soundwave, Breakdown<br /> *Boss: Omega Supreme (Vehicle mode)<br /> An unknown amount of time later, Megatron is commanding his ship in search of the &quot;Omega Key&quot;. The ship is suddenly attacked by Omega Supreme, who shoots them out of the sky, causing them to crash-land in Iacon. Megatron, Soundwave and Breakdown began a desperate retreat from Omega Supreme's attack and take cover in a large tower. Once inside, the group hear Starscream announce that Megatron is dead and that he is taking command of the Decepticons (surprise!). Enraged but unable to make any outside contact, Megatron leads his forces through the city, dodging attacks from Omega Supreme while searching for a way to fight him. Soundwave discovers that they can use some of the Autobot's anti-air and anti-infantry turrets on a tower roof against the massive Autobot. Along the way, the group makes contact with Starscream and corrects his mistake, using him to distract Omega Supreme. Once they reached the turrets, the group manages to shoot down Omega Supreme, causing him to crash to the ground below. This is when Megatron and the others make the final assault on him. To unlock cybertron's core.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 27-28, Omega did nothing to pursue Megatron. Instead, he attempted to depart Cybertron altogether to keep the Plasma Energy Chamber inside him away from the Decepticons. Starscream and the Seekers shot down Omega in a brief aerial skirmish.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter V: The Final Guardian'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, Soundwave, Breakdown<br /> *Boss: Omega Supreme (Robot mode)<br /> The Decepticons descend into the impact crater to loot Omega's remains, but he transforms into robot mode, unleashing his full barrage on the squad. Megatron manages to corrupt Omega with Dark Energon, using him to reach and corrupt the core of Cybertron with Dark Energon. The planet itself is now under control of the decepticons. Or is it?<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 29, Omega did not fight alone — Optimus Prime and his top aides were present fighting alongside Omega Supreme at his crash site, until Megatron brought the Guardian low and ripped the Plasma Energy Chamber from within him. Because that was all he needed from Omega, the Guardian was not captured in Exodus, but left badly wounded for the Autobots to retrieve and repair.''<br /> <br /> ===Autobot Campaign===<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VI: Defend Iacon'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]], [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]]<br /> *Boss: Starscream<br /> In a decimated Iacon, the young Autobot messenger Bumblebee is sent to tell the soldier Optimus that Zeta Prime is dead. Optimus decides to take temporary control of the Autobots, adopting Bumblebee into his team. The two of them and Ratchet kick off a counterattack to push out Decepticon forces. They manage to reactivate the planetary guns, clearing the skies over Iacon, and proceed to aid [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] in reclaiming the Decagon, tangling with Starscream along the way. Entering the Decagon, Optimus receives a message from Zeta Prime, revealing that he is not yet dead but is being held in a prison in [[Kaon]]. Optimus gathers up a bunch of Autobots to rescue their fallen comrade.<br /> <br /> ''A direct conflict with Starscream like this did not take place at this point in the novel. Iacon was the last bastion of Autobot resistance for most of the novel, and did not need to be reclaimed. Furthermore, Sentinel Prime had been captured since the beginning of the war, so Optimus Prime had already accepted his role as leader.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VII: Kaon Prison Break'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]], Bumblebee<br /> *Boss: Soundwave<br /> Optimus allows his team to be captured by the Decepticons and enter the prison. The three are just barely saved from a firing squad by [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]], but as they escape into the tunnels below, Air Raid is captured. The three Autobots sneak through the prison, rescuing Air Raid and releasing all the Autobot prisoners (including [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]]). Using the chaos as a distraction, the trio sneak to the high security bunker Zeta Prime is being held. When the Autobots try to save them, Soundwave attacks, sending out [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]], and [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]]. The Autobots defeat them, but Soundwave manages to retreat. When Optimus tries to rescue Zeta, the Prime tells him that he is already dead and collapses. Optimus returns the body to the [[Autobot High Council]], who tell Optimus that he must accept that he is a Prime and take up his role as leader. Thus, he becomes Optimus Prime. He then travels to the core to stop it's corruption of dark energon.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 32, Optimus Prime, Jazz and Prowl stormed Kaon to recover a dying Sentinel Prime. It did not involve being deliberately captured or a battle with Soundwave.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VIII: To the Core'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]], [[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]]<br /> *Boss: Corrupted Space Slug<br /> Optimus' first task as Prime is to cure the currently infected core. Heading to the entrance, where Omega Supreme is being held by the Decepticons, the three Autobots manage to free Omega, then call in Ratchet to repair him enough to open the Omega Gate. Thanks to the help of some [[space slug]]s, Prime, Warpath, and Ironhide defeat a corrupted space slug and reach the [[Primus|core]]. However, the core tells Optimus that, in order to repair itself, it will have to shut down for millions of years, forcing Optimus and the Autobots to evacuate Cybertron. Before the core shuts down, it gives Optimus the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. A vessel of pure energy and the collective wisdom of the primes.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 33-34, Optimus Prime, Jetfire and Bumblebee traveled down to the Core, disconnected the corrupted Plasma Energy Chamber, and Optimus received the Matrix of Leadership. It was a largely uneventful trek, as Megatron staged no troops around the Core and trusted the sheer intensity of the Dark Energon in that region to ward off any Autobots. Also, no space slugs.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter IX: Aerial Assault'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]], [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]], [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]]<br /> *Boss: [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] <br /> Returning to Iacon, Optimus Prime orders the launching of a full-scale evacuation of Cybertron's surface. However, as the transports leave the atmosphere, Megatron, feeling slighted by his &quot;brother&quot;, begins shooting them down with his &lt;s&gt;giant purple griffin&lt;/s&gt; massive orbital space station. Optimus quickly realizes the need to shut down the station, and hastily sends a group of fliers to shut it down from the inside. The team manages to disable the power core, but Megatron taunts them as he activates a back-up generator. Then the station ''itself'' begins to mock them. Realizing the station is a Cybertronian, the team flies in deeper to find its Conversion Cog to force it into its robot mode before it can finish leveling Iacon, and &quot;The Last Prime&quot; along with it. Succeeding, the Autobots race out of the quickly transforming space station as it reveals itself to be Trypticon. The Autobots manage to shoot out the massive Decepticon's thrusters, causing it to hurtle towards the surface of the planet, just outside Iacon. Meanwhile, Optimus and the others decide to investigate the crash site and finish off the beast themselves.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 36-37, Trypticon Station began firing on the Autobot fleet as it fled Cybertron. Optimus Prime and a crew aboard the ''Eight Track'' commandoed their way into Trypticon and blasted apart the station from within. The novel made a point of (mostly) treating Jetfire as the only Autobot Seeker, and so there were no Air Raid and Silverbolt to act as his wingmen for a flying assault. Also, Trypticon did not transform in freefall.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter X: One Shall Stand...'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, Bumblebee, Ironhide<br /> *Boss: Trypticon<br /> All seems quiet as Optimus, Ironhide, Bumblebee, and others search the wreckage, but soon a very-much alive and enraged Trypticon emerges to wage a long and difficult battle with Prime and the Autobots. After repeatedly targeting key weaknesses, Optimus uses his axe to knock Trypticon off balance, sending him plummeting into the deep Energon pool below, causing the last of his systems to shut down. Later, as the remaining Autobot transports escape the planet's dying surface, Optimus informes his primary contingent of ''their'' new transport - an [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]] that will allow them to keep Cybertron's legacy alive, [[Earth|wherever their adventures may take them.]] So begins the [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|''fall of Cybertron'']]...<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 38, Trypticon Station transformed after making planetfall. Optimus Prime and the core Autobots left Cybertron aboard the Ark, avoiding conflict with it. Instead, the Wreckers led by Ultra Magnus remained behind to confront the creature and cover the other Autobots' escape. Soul-crushingly, the battle between the Wreckers and Trypticon was not depicted and, instead of being destroyed, Trypticon transformed into the Nemesis to pursue the Ark through space.''<br /> <br /> ==Characters==<br /> At the start of each level, the player can choose from one of three characters. <br /> <br /> ==Featured Characters==<br /> {{featuredcharacters<br /> |h1=[[Autobot]]s|c1=<br /> *[[Optimus Prime (Prime)#War for Cybertron|Optimus Prime]] ([[Peter Cullen]]) <br /> *[[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] ([[Johnny Yong Bosch]])<br /> *[[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] ([[Fred Tatasciore]])<br /> *[[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] ([[Keith Szarabajka]])<br /> *[[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] ([[Travis Willingham]])<br /> *[[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] ([[Troy Baker]])<br /> *[[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]] ([[Patrick Seitz]])<br /> *[[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] ([[Kari Wahlgren]])<br /> *[[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] ([[Liam O'Brien]])<br /> *[[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]] ([[Jamieson Price]])<br /> *[[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] (downloadable content character)<br /> *[[Scattershot (WFC)|Scattershot]] (downloadable content character)<br /> *[[Sentinel Zeta Prime‎|Zeta Prime]] ([[Troy Baker]]) (downloadable content character)<br /> |h2=[[Decepticon]]s|c2=<br /> *[[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] (Fred Tatasciore)<br /> *[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] ([[Sam Riegel]]) <br /> *[[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] ([[Isaac C.

If other players are participating, a tally of each participant's kills is kept.<br /> <br /> ===Escalation===<br /> This cooperative mode puts several friends together against an unending horde of enemies. With each horde vanquished, tougher ones come in. The players can get points from killing enemies, and these points can be used to get new weapons, ammo, health, and to access new areas. Characters in Escalation mode are the same as those selected in Campaign (as well as bonus and DLC characters); custom multiplayer 'bots are not available here.<br /> <br /> ===Multiplayer===<br /> This broad option is where you will be spending most of your hours after you beat Trypticon. Here, players can create their own Cybertronian combatant and pit them against the multitude of online [[Fandom|transfans]] and 12-year-olds that will more than likely slaughter you. Custom characters can be leveled up by killing dudes in matches, with specific bonuses being given for specific actions. As they level up, more abilities become available.<br /> <br /> ;Characters<br /> Characters are created from four different bases, each of which feature different weapons, abilities and alternate forms. They are:<br /> *[[Scout (WFC)|Scout]] - Cars. Fast, usually cloakers. <br /> *[[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]] - Jets. Also fast, usually medics and buffers.<br /> *[[Leader (WFC)|Leader]] - Trucks. Balanced, with emphasis on defense and ally-aid.<br /> *[[Soldier (WFC)|Soldier]] - Tanks. Slow and powerful, with offensive abilities.<br /> <br /> Initially, players are only able to create one of each class, but as they level up, more slots open for a maximum of three of each class. Names can be chosen for each, but don't get too excited about making the [[Fanon|Transformer you always dreamed of]]: bodies are limited to about three options per faction and look exactly like characters from single-player (for example, the Autobot Scout category lets you choose from Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Jazz or Arcee). And while you can pick your color scheme, the palettes are rather limited, especially for Decepticons. Downloading or unlocking additional characters will also make their chassis available for customizing.<br /> <br /> ;Playlists<br /> Choosing a playlist will automatically send you into a lobby, where the service will do its best to form balanced teams (I.E., you hopefully won't see a team of level 25 leaders fighting one level zero Scout). The service will also select a random [[Map (WFC)|stage]], which players can veto. Finally, when the game begins, combatants select their character. If your scientist gets butchered too many times, you can pick a different character at any time during the match, and you will switch to it upon dying. Players also cannot pick a faction; the game does it automatically. Weapons can only be picked up from defeated enemies; ammo caches, [[overshield]]s and energon are scattered throughout the stages.<br /> <br /> Playlists include:<br /> *'''Team deathmatch''': Kill 40 opponents to win. Games can range from four to sixteen players.<br /> *'''Deathmatch''': Kill 20 opponents to win. It's a free-for-all.<br /> *'''Conquest''': Capture and defend several &quot;power nodes&quot; until your team gets 400 points. <br /> *'''Code of power''': Capture the flag. Team with highest score after two rounds wins.<br /> *'''Countdown to extinction''': Plant the bomb in the enemy's base three times to win.<br /> *'''Power struggle''': Control the active power node until you get 400 points.<br /> <br /> Players can also set up private matches, where the game options and maps can be adjusted as you see fit, but they are invite-only. Hopefully, you've got a lot of online friends!<br /> <br /> ==Production==<br /> As an early marketing campaign, the game's website included the feature &quot;Operation Transmission Recovery&quot;: using transmission and coordinate dials, you could pick up &quot;transmissions&quot; from Cybertron (or &quot;video clips&quot; to you and me). <br /> <br /> The art and design team did intense research (i.e. watched the original cartoon, looked at comics, and watched &quot;typical sci-fi cool stuff&quot; like ''Blade Runner'') to work out the aesthetic of Cybertron; lead artist [[Ivan Power]] remarked that the original cartoon was the main inspiration, and that Cybertron wasn't shown there so they had to rewatch the same few clips &quot;over and over&quot;. While many of the city designs are elaborate and shiny, Decepticon [[Kaon]] was deliberately designed to be sharp-edged, rusting, and slapped together to show the Decepticons weren't interested in building a functioning society.&lt;ref&gt;[http://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2009/12/21/transformers-art-video.aspx Game Informer: Behind the Art of War for Cybertron]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Tyler Bates]] composed the score.<br /> <br /> ==Trophy/Achievement list==<br /> When completing various goals and tasks during the campaigns and in online multi-player, the player can earn Trophies on PlayStation 3 and Achievements on the Xbox 360. There are 4 kinds of Trophies: Platinum is the highest, and is only unlocked after earning all the other trophies. It is followed by Gold, which include harder tasks and worth more experience. Then Silver, with less experience than Gold, and finally Bronze which represent easier tasks and worth the least experience. On the Xbox, each achievement has a Gamerscore (G) that adds to the player's total gamerscore, which is essentially the Xbox Live version of &quot;Street Cred&quot;.<br /> <br /> {| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5<br /> | '''Achievement/Trophy name'''<br /> | '''Achievement/Trophy description'''<br /> | '''Gamerscore'''<br /> | '''PS Trophy'''<br /> |- <br /> | [[A Prime Problem]]<br /> | Complete &quot;Defend Iacon&quot;

The demo is multiplayer only, and only two of the four classes, Soldier and Scout, are playable. Only one &quot;Create a Character&quot; slot is open for each class, but customization for chassis is not available. Players can only level up to Level 3 in each class. The only map available is &quot;Molten&quot;, and the two gametypes available are Team Deathmatch and Conquest.<br /> <br /> ==Reception==<br /> The game has received many positive reviews from critics and fans alike. IGN has given the score 9/10 because of its &quot;Great Presentation&quot;, &quot;Fun Multiplayer&quot;, &quot;Classy Fan Service&quot;, but subtracted from its score due to the &quot;Repetitive Visuals&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[http://ps3.ign.com/articles/110/1101052p1.html IGN's review of ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' on the PS3, page 1]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://ps3.ign.com/articles/110/1101052p2.html IGN's review of ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' on the PS3, page 2]&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;i&gt;GameRankings&lt;/i&gt; sums up the average score of numerous reviews with 79 points&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.gamerankings.com/ps3/981364-transformers-war-for-cybertron/index.html GameRankings' archive of reviews for PS3 version of ''War for Cybertron'']&lt;/ref&gt;, Metacritic averages 77 points&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/transformerswarforcybertron Reviews for the PS3 version of ''War for Cybertron'' at Metacritic]&lt;/ref&gt;, and other scores include 85 from &lt;i&gt;GameInformer&lt;/i&gt; &lt;ref&gt;[http://gameinformer.com/games/transformers_war_for_cybertron/b/ps3/archive/2010/06/22/review.aspx High Moon has the touch, from GameInformer]&lt;/ref&gt;, B+ from 1UP.com&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3180025&amp;p=37&amp;sec=REVIEWS 1up.com's review of ''War for Cybertron'' on PS3]&lt;/ref&gt;, and 4 out of 5 stars from &lt;i&gt;GamePro&lt;/i&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/215618/transformers-war-for-cybertron/ Gamepro's review of ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' on PS3]&lt;/ref&gt;.

It was developed by [[High Moon Studios]] and published by [[Activision Blizzard|Activision]], and it is set in the [[Aligned continuity family]] in the ancient days of the [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]ian war. The game is an over-the-shoulder third-person shooter in which the player can choose his or her character from a small roster of either [[Autobot]]s or [[Decepticon]]s. It was released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at Sears stores on [[June 17]], [[2010]]. On [[June 22]], those and the PC version were released to the broader market.<br /> <br /> Companion games, [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|two for the Nintendo DS]] and [[Transformers: Cybertron Adventures|one for the Wii]], were developed by [[Vicarious Visions]] and [[Next Level Games]], respectively.<br /> <br /> {{quote|One shall stand.|Optimus}}<br /> :{{quote|One shall fall.|Megatron}}<br /> <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> [[Image:WarforCybertron-OptimusPrime.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Prime auditions for Unreal Tournament. There were no survivors.]]<br /> Unlike previous ''Transformers'' video games which feature distinctly separate campaigns for the Autobots and the Decepticons (traditionally depicting the playable faction utterly defeating the other), ''War for Cybertron'' features a single, linear storyline; the Decepticon campaign occurs chronologically before the Autobot campaign, but [[Fandom|fans]] can play through them in whichever order they prefer.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/seibertron-qa-with-activision-makers-of-war-for-cybertron/17548/ Seibertron Q&amp;A with Activision]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> {{note|The novel ''[[Transformers: Exodus]]'' was, naturally, promoted as being in the same [[continuity]] as the game. In practice, however, the two stories differ substantially on many details. The first fifteen chapters of ''Exodus'' chronicle the backstory of the war, with an interlude by Alpha Trion placed between them and the remaining of the thirty-nine chapters. Events akin to the ''War for Cybertron'' campaigns do take place in the second portion of the novel, but the settings, details, and involved parties change in each case. Below, in italics, are brief descriptions of the parallel events that take place in ''Exodus''.}}<br /> <br /> ===Decepticon Campaign===<br /> '''Chapter I: Dark Energon'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]], [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]], [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]<br /> *Boss: [[Autobot Swarm]]<br /> <br /> It is the waning days of the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] before the Transformers come to Earth. [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]], genuinely believing a caste system will bring Cybertron back to its [[Golden Age]], is researching a dangerous power source known as [[Dark Energon]] to fuel his conquest of the planet. Megatron discovers that the factory that produces Dark Energon is guarded by a neutral army led by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], and he leads an attack on the station. After his ship crashes into the hull of the station, Megatron, [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]] and [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]] defeat Starscream's army and harness the power of the Dark Energon. Cornered, Starscream tells Megatron that he's the only one who knows how to make more of the energon and that he will help the Decepticon leader if Megatron takes him into his army. Megatron reluctantly agrees to this. Doing this also causes Jetfire to lose trust in Starscream and warn Zeta Prime of their ambitions. <br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 18-19, Megatron laid claim to Trypticon Station and the Dark Energon contained within. By this point in the war, however, Starscream was already a full member of the Decepticon army. The Dark Energon was his trump card in case he ever chose to betray Megatron to the Autobots. The taking of Trypticon Station happened largely behind the scenes in the novel, without Starscream actively defending it — Megatron took advantage of a rare absence of Starscream from the station to make it his own. He returned from an errand to find his loyal pack of Decepticons brutalized by Megatron's gladiators, and his power base usurped. ''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter II: Fuel of War'''<br /> *Characters available: Starscream, [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]]<br /> *Boss: [[Cybertron's Sentinel]]<br /> Megatron sends the [[seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] to reactivate the ancient [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge|Energon Bridge]] that will produce new Dark Energon. After encountering Autobot [[security probe]]s, strange jelly-fish-like life forms, and fighting legions of Autobot defenders, they succeed. They then start the assault on Iacon.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 22, Starscream and his Seekers reactivate the Geosynchronous Energon Bridge to help Megatron conduct Energon from Cybertron's core to Trypticon Station. The events are basically the same as the game.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter III: [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] Destroyed'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]]<br /> *Boss: [[Sentinel Zeta Prime‎|Zeta Prime]]<br /> With his new powers, Megatron takes the fight straight to the Autobot's capital city. While Starscream and Brawl lead the main attack on the city, Megatron takes Soundwave and Breakdown on a flanking attack to recover the Omega Key, which will allow him to access the core of the planet. Arriving at the key's holding place, the Decepticons learn that the Autobot leader Zeta Prime has taken it to keep it safe. The team regroup with Brawl and Starscream, and use Dark Energon bombers to eliminate the remaining Autobots before storming the building in which Zeta Prime is waiting. Megatron defeats the Autobot leader, stealing the Omega Key and punching a hole in his chest. Zeta reveals that the key Megatron has just stolen only activates the ''real'' Omega Key, and that soon '''it''' will find '''him'''. Suddenly [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|a huge ship awakens and takes off.]]This is the autobots last line of defense.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 24-27, Megatron led a group of Decepticons to capture the Code Key of Justice while Starscream acquired the Code Key of Power. Together, the two could access the Plasma Energy Chamber. He was confronted with Sentinel Prime at the end, but only because the Prime had been Starscream's prisoner up until that point, and the Seeker commander had released Sentinel to delay Megatron. After defeating Sentinel Prime in personal combat (no holographic death rooms), Megatron found the Key inside Sentinel's body. At that moment, Teletraan-1 reactivated Omega Supreme to protect the Plasma Energy Chamber from Megatron, at Starscream's secret behest.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter IV: Death of Hope'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, Soundwave, Breakdown<br /> *Boss: Omega Supreme (Vehicle mode)<br /> An unknown amount of time later, Megatron is commanding his ship in search of the &quot;Omega Key&quot;. The ship is suddenly attacked by Omega Supreme, who shoots them out of the sky, causing them to crash-land in Iacon. Megatron, Soundwave and Breakdown began a desperate retreat from Omega Supreme's attack and take cover in a large tower. Once inside, the group hear Starscream announce that Megatron is dead and that he is taking command of the Decepticons (surprise!). Enraged but unable to make any outside contact, Megatron leads his forces through the city, dodging attacks from Omega Supreme while searching for a way to fight him. Soundwave discovers that they can use some of the Autobot's anti-air and anti-infantry turrets on a tower roof against the massive Autobot. Along the way, the group makes contact with Starscream and corrects his mistake, using him to distract Omega Supreme. Once they reached the turrets, the group manages to shoot down Omega Supreme, causing him to crash to the ground below. This is when Megatron and the others make the final assault on him. To unlock cybertron's core.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 27-28, Omega did nothing to pursue Megatron. Instead, he attempted to depart Cybertron altogether to keep the Plasma Energy Chamber inside him away from the Decepticons. Starscream and the Seekers shot down Omega in a brief aerial skirmish.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter V: The Final Guardian'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, Soundwave, Breakdown<br /> *Boss: Omega Supreme (Robot mode)<br /> The Decepticons descend into the impact crater to loot Omega's remains, but he transforms into robot mode, unleashing his full barrage on the squad. Megatron manages to corrupt Omega with Dark Energon, using him to reach and corrupt the core of Cybertron with Dark Energon. The planet itself is now under control of the decepticons. Or is it?<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 29, Omega did not fight alone — Optimus Prime and his top aides were present fighting alongside Omega Supreme at his crash site, until Megatron brought the Guardian low and ripped the Plasma Energy Chamber from within him. Because that was all he needed from Omega, the Guardian was not captured in Exodus, but left badly wounded for the Autobots to retrieve and repair.''<br /> <br /> ===Autobot Campaign===<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VI: Defend Iacon'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]], [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]]<br /> *Boss: Starscream<br /> In a decimated Iacon, the young Autobot messenger Bumblebee is sent to tell the soldier Optimus that Zeta Prime is dead. Optimus decides to take temporary control of the Autobots, adopting Bumblebee into his team. The two of them and Ratchet kick off a counterattack to push out Decepticon forces. They manage to reactivate the planetary guns, clearing the skies over Iacon, and proceed to aid [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] in reclaiming the Decagon, tangling with Starscream along the way. Entering the Decagon, Optimus receives a message from Zeta Prime, revealing that he is not yet dead but is being held in a prison in [[Kaon]]. Optimus gathers up a bunch of Autobots to rescue their fallen comrade.<br /> <br /> ''A direct conflict with Starscream like this did not take place at this point in the novel. Iacon was the last bastion of Autobot resistance for most of the novel, and did not need to be reclaimed. Furthermore, Sentinel Prime had been captured since the beginning of the war, so Optimus Prime had already accepted his role as leader.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VII: Kaon Prison Break'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]], Bumblebee<br /> *Boss: Soundwave<br /> Optimus allows his team to be captured by the Decepticons and enter the prison. The three are just barely saved from a firing squad by [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]], but as they escape into the tunnels below, Air Raid is captured. The three Autobots sneak through the prison, rescuing Air Raid and releasing all the Autobot prisoners (including [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]]). Using the chaos as a distraction, the trio sneak to the high security bunker Zeta Prime is being held. When the Autobots try to save them, Soundwave attacks, sending out [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]], and [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]]. The Autobots defeat them, but Soundwave manages to retreat. When Optimus tries to rescue Zeta, the Prime tells him that he is already dead and collapses. Optimus returns the body to the [[Autobot High Council]], who tell Optimus that he must accept that he is a Prime and take up his role as leader. Thus, he becomes Optimus Prime. He then travels to the core to stop it's corruption of dark energon.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 32, Optimus Prime, Jazz and Prowl stormed Kaon to recover a dying Sentinel Prime. It did not involve being deliberately captured or a battle with Soundwave.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VIII: To the Core'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]], [[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]]<br /> *Boss: Corrupted Space Slug<br /> Optimus' first task as Prime is to cure the currently infected core. Heading to the entrance, where Omega Supreme is being held by the Decepticons, the three Autobots manage to free Omega, then call in Ratchet to repair him enough to open the Omega Gate. Thanks to the help of some [[space slug]]s, Prime, Warpath, and Ironhide defeat a corrupted space slug and reach the [[Primus|core]]. However, the core tells Optimus that, in order to repair itself, it will have to shut down for millions of years, forcing Optimus and the Autobots to evacuate Cybertron. Before the core shuts down, it gives Optimus the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. A vessel of pure energy and the collective wisdom of the primes.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 33-34, Optimus Prime, Jetfire and Bumblebee traveled down to the Core, disconnected the corrupted Plasma Energy Chamber, and Optimus received the Matrix of Leadership. It was a largely uneventful trek, as Megatron staged no troops around the Core and trusted the sheer intensity of the Dark Energon in that region to ward off any Autobots. Also, no space slugs.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter IX: Aerial Assault'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]], [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]], [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]]<br /> *Boss: [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] <br /> Returning to Iacon, Optimus Prime orders the launching of a full-scale evacuation of Cybertron's surface. However, as the transports leave the atmosphere, Megatron, feeling slighted by his &quot;brother&quot;, begins shooting them down with his &lt;s&gt;giant purple griffin&lt;/s&gt; massive orbital space station. Optimus quickly realizes the need to shut down the station, and hastily sends a group of fliers to shut it down from the inside. The team manages to disable the power core, but Megatron taunts them as he activates a back-up generator. Then the station ''itself'' begins to mock them. Realizing the station is a Cybertronian, the team flies in deeper to find its Conversion Cog to force it into its robot mode before it can finish leveling Iacon, and &quot;The Last Prime&quot; along with it. Succeeding, the Autobots race out of the quickly transforming space station as it reveals itself to be Trypticon. The Autobots manage to shoot out the massive Decepticon's thrusters, causing it to hurtle towards the surface of the planet, just outside Iacon. Meanwhile, Optimus and the others decide to investigate the crash site and finish off the beast themselves.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 36-37, Trypticon Station began firing on the Autobot fleet as it fled Cybertron. Optimus Prime and a crew aboard the ''Eight Track'' commandoed their way into Trypticon and blasted apart the station from within. The novel made a point of (mostly) treating Jetfire as the only Autobot Seeker, and so there were no Air Raid and Silverbolt to act as his wingmen for a flying assault. Also, Trypticon did not transform in freefall.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter X: One Shall Stand...'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, Bumblebee, Ironhide<br /> *Boss: Trypticon<br /> All seems quiet as Optimus, Ironhide, Bumblebee, and others search the wreckage, but soon a very-much alive and enraged Trypticon emerges to wage a long and difficult battle with Prime and the Autobots. After repeatedly targeting key weaknesses, Optimus uses his axe to knock Trypticon off-balance, sending him plummeting into the Energon pool below, causing the last of Trypticon's systems to shut down. Later, as the remaining Autobot transports escape the planet's dying surface, Optimus informes his primary contingent of ''their'' new transport - an [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]] that will allow them to keep Cybertron's legacy alive, [[Earth|wherever their adventures may take them.]] So begins the [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|''fall of Cybertron'']]...<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 38, Trypticon Station transformed after making planetfall. Optimus Prime and the core Autobots left Cybertron aboard the Ark, avoiding conflict with it. Instead, the Wreckers led by Ultra Magnus remained behind to confront the creature and cover the other Autobots' escape. Soul-crushingly, the battle between the Wreckers and Trypticon was not depicted and, instead of being destroyed, Trypticon transformed into the Nemesis to pursue the Ark through space.''<br /> <br /> ==Characters==<br /> At the start of each level, the player can choose from one of three characters. <br /> <br /> ==Featured Characters==<br /> {{featuredcharacters<br /> |h1=[[Autobot]]s|c1=<br /> *[[Optimus Prime (Prime)#War for Cybertron|Optimus Prime]] ([[Peter Cullen]]) <br /> *[[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] ([[Johnny Yong Bosch]])<br /> *[[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] ([[Fred Tatasciore]])<br /> *[[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] ([[Keith Szarabajka]])<br /> *[[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] ([[Travis Willingham]])<br /> *[[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] ([[Troy Baker]])<br /> *[[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]] ([[Patrick Seitz]])<br /> *[[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] ([[Kari Wahlgren]])<br /> *[[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] ([[Liam O'Brien]])<br /> *[[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]] ([[Jamieson Price]])<br /> *[[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] (downloadable content character)<br /> *[[Scattershot (WFC)|Scattershot]] (downloadable content character)<br /> *[[Sentinel Zeta Prime‎|Zeta Prime]] ([[Troy Baker]]) (downloadable content character)<br /> |h2=[[Decepticon]]s|c2=<br /> *[[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] (Fred Tatasciore)<br /> *[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] ([[Sam Riegel]]) <br /> *[[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] ([[Isaac C.

If other players are participating, a tally of each participant's kills is kept.<br /> <br /> ===Escalation===<br /> This cooperative mode puts several friends together against an unending horde of enemies. With each horde vanquished, tougher ones come in. The players can get points from killing enemies, and these points can be used to get new weapons, ammo, health, and to access new areas. Characters in Escalation mode are the same as those selected in Campaign (as well as bonus and DLC characters); custom multiplayer 'bots are not available here.<br /> <br /> ===Multiplayer===<br /> This broad option is where you will be spending most of your hours after you beat Trypticon. Here, players can create their own Cybertronian combatant and pit them against the multitude of online [[Fandom|transfans]] and 12-year-olds that will more than likely slaughter you. Custom characters can be leveled up by killing dudes in matches, with specific bonuses being given for specific actions. As they level up, more abilities become available.<br /> <br /> ;Characters<br /> Characters are created from four different bases, each of which feature different weapons, abilities and alternate forms. They are:<br /> *[[Scout (WFC)|Scout]] - Cars. Fast, usually cloakers. <br /> *[[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]] - Jets. Also fast, usually medics and buffers.<br /> *[[Leader (WFC)|Leader]] - Trucks. Balanced, with emphasis on defense and ally-aid.<br /> *[[Soldier (WFC)|Soldier]] - Tanks. Slow and powerful, with offensive abilities.<br /> <br /> Initially, players are only able to create one of each class, but as they level up, more slots open for a maximum of three of each class. Names can be chosen for each, but don't get too excited about making the [[Fanon|Transformer you always dreamed of]]: bodies are limited to about three options per faction and look exactly like characters from single-player (for example, the Autobot Scout category lets you choose from Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Jazz or Arcee). And while you can pick your color scheme, the palettes are rather limited, especially for Decepticons. Downloading or unlocking additional characters will also make their chassis available for customizing.<br /> <br /> ;Playlists<br /> Choosing a playlist will automatically send you into a lobby, where the service will do its best to form balanced teams (I.E., you hopefully won't see a team of level 25 leaders fighting one level zero Scout). The service will also select a random [[Map (WFC)|stage]], which players can veto. Finally, when the game begins, combatants select their character. If your scientist gets butchered too many times, you can pick a different character at any time during the match, and you will switch to it upon dying. Players also cannot pick a faction; the game does it automatically. Weapons can only be picked up from defeated enemies; ammo caches, [[overshield]]s and energon are scattered throughout the stages.<br /> <br /> Playlists include:<br /> *'''Team deathmatch''': Kill 40 opponents to win. Games can range from four to sixteen players.<br /> *'''Deathmatch''': Kill 20 opponents to win. It's a free-for-all.<br /> *'''Conquest''': Capture and defend several &quot;power nodes&quot; until your team gets 400 points. <br /> *'''Code of power''': Capture the flag. Team with highest score after two rounds wins.<br /> *'''Countdown to extinction''': Plant the bomb in the enemy's base three times to win.<br /> *'''Power struggle''': Control the active power node until you get 400 points.<br /> <br /> Players can also set up private matches, where the game options and maps can be adjusted as you see fit, but they are invite-only. Hopefully, you've got a lot of online friends!<br /> <br /> ==Production==<br /> As an early marketing campaign, the game's website included the feature &quot;Operation Transmission Recovery&quot;: using transmission and coordinate dials, you could pick up &quot;transmissions&quot; from Cybertron (or &quot;video clips&quot; to you and me). <br /> <br /> The art and design team did intense research (i.e. watched the original cartoon, looked at comics, and watched &quot;typical sci-fi cool stuff&quot; like ''Blade Runner'') to work out the aesthetic of Cybertron; lead artist [[Ivan Power]] remarked that the original cartoon was the main inspiration, and that Cybertron wasn't shown there so they had to rewatch the same few clips &quot;over and over&quot;. While many of the city designs are elaborate and shiny, Decepticon [[Kaon]] was deliberately designed to be sharp-edged, rusting, and slapped together to show the Decepticons weren't interested in building a functioning society.&lt;ref&gt;[http://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2009/12/21/transformers-art-video.aspx Game Informer: Behind the Art of War for Cybertron]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Tyler Bates]] composed the score.<br /> <br /> ==Trophy/Achievement list==<br /> When completing various goals and tasks during the campaigns and in online multi-player, the player can earn Trophies on PlayStation 3 and Achievements on the Xbox 360. There are 4 kinds of Trophies: Platinum is the highest, and is only unlocked after earning all the other trophies. It is followed by Gold, which include harder tasks and worth more experience. Then Silver, with less experience than Gold, and finally Bronze which represent easier tasks and worth the least experience. On the Xbox, each achievement has a Gamerscore (G) that adds to the player's total gamerscore, which is essentially the Xbox Live version of &quot;Street Cred&quot;.<br /> <br /> {| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5<br /> | '''Achievement/Trophy name'''<br /> | '''Achievement/Trophy description'''<br /> | '''Gamerscore'''<br /> | '''PS Trophy'''<br /> |- <br /> | [[A Prime Problem]]<br /> | Complete &quot;Defend Iacon&quot;

The demo is multiplayer only, and only two of the four classes, Soldier and Scout, are playable. Only one &quot;Create a Character&quot; slot is open for each class, but customization for chassis is not available. Players can only level up to Level 3 in each class. The only map available is &quot;Molten&quot;, and the two gametypes available are Team Deathmatch and Conquest.<br /> <br /> ==Reception==<br /> The game has received many positive reviews from critics and fans alike. IGN has given the score 9/10 because of its &quot;Great Presentation&quot;, &quot;Fun Multiplayer&quot;, &quot;Classy Fan Service&quot;, but subtracted from its score due to the &quot;Repetitive Visuals&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[http://ps3.ign.com/articles/110/1101052p1.html IGN's review of ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' on the PS3, page 1]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://ps3.ign.com/articles/110/1101052p2.html IGN's review of ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' on the PS3, page 2]&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;i&gt;GameRankings&lt;/i&gt; sums up the average score of numerous reviews with 79 points&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.gamerankings.com/ps3/981364-transformers-war-for-cybertron/index.html GameRankings' archive of reviews for PS3 version of ''War for Cybertron'']&lt;/ref&gt;, Metacritic averages 77 points&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/transformerswarforcybertron Reviews for the PS3 version of ''War for Cybertron'' at Metacritic]&lt;/ref&gt;, and other scores include 85 from &lt;i&gt;GameInformer&lt;/i&gt; &lt;ref&gt;[http://gameinformer.com/games/transformers_war_for_cybertron/b/ps3/archive/2010/06/22/review.aspx High Moon has the touch, from GameInformer]&lt;/ref&gt;, B+ from 1UP.com&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3180025&amp;p=37&amp;sec=REVIEWS 1up.com's review of ''War for Cybertron'' on PS3]&lt;/ref&gt;, and 4 out of 5 stars from &lt;i&gt;GamePro&lt;/i&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/215618/transformers-war-for-cybertron/ Gamepro's review of ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' on PS3]&lt;/ref&gt;.

It was developed by [[High Moon Studios]] and published by [[Activision Blizzard|Activision]], and it is set in the [[Aligned continuity family]] in the ancient days of the [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]ian war. The game is an over-the-shoulder third-person shooter in which the player can choose his or her character from a small roster of either [[Autobot]]s or [[Decepticon]]s. It was released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at Sears stores on [[June 17]], [[2010]]. On [[June 22]], those and the PC version were released to the broader market.<br /> <br /> Companion games, [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|two for the Nintendo DS]] and [[Transformers: Cybertron Adventures|one for the Wii]], were developed by [[Vicarious Visions]] and [[Next Level Games]], respectively.<br /> <br /> {{quote|One shall stand.|Optimus}}<br /> :{{quote|One shall fall.|Megatron}}<br /> <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> [[Image:WarforCybertron-OptimusPrime.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Prime auditions for Unreal Tournament. There were no survivors.]]<br /> Unlike previous ''Transformers'' video games which feature distinctly separate campaigns for the Autobots and the Decepticons (traditionally depicting the playable faction utterly defeating the other), ''War for Cybertron'' features a single, linear storyline; the Decepticon campaign occurs chronologically before the Autobot campaign, but [[Fandom|fans]] can play through them in whichever order they prefer.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/seibertron-qa-with-activision-makers-of-war-for-cybertron/17548/ Seibertron Q&amp;A with Activision]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> {{note|The novel ''[[Transformers: Exodus]]'' was, naturally, promoted as being in the same [[continuity]] as the game. In practice, however, the two stories differ substantially on many details. The first fifteen chapters of ''Exodus'' chronicle the backstory of the war, with an interlude by Alpha Trion placed between them and the remaining of the thirty-nine chapters. Events akin to the ''War for Cybertron'' campaigns do take place in the second portion of the novel, but the settings, details, and involved parties change in each case. Below, in italics, are brief descriptions of the parallel events that take place in ''Exodus''.}}<br /> <br /> ===Decepticon Campaign===<br /> '''Chapter I: Dark Energon'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]], [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]], [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]<br /> *Boss: [[Autobot Swarm]]<br /> <br /> It is the waning days of the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] before the Transformers come to Earth. [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]], genuinely believing a caste system will bring Cybertron back to its [[Golden Age]], is researching a dangerous power source known as [[Dark Energon]] to fuel his conquest of the planet. Megatron discovers that the factory that produces Dark Energon is guarded by a neutral army led by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], and he leads an attack on the station. After his ship crashes into the hull of the station, Megatron, [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]] and [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]] defeat Starscream's army and harness the power of the Dark Energon. Cornered, Starscream tells Megatron that he's the only one who knows how to make more of the energon and that he will help the Decepticon leader if Megatron takes him into his army. Megatron reluctantly agrees to this. Doing this also causes Jetfire to lose trust in Starscream and warn Zeta Prime of their ambitions. <br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 18-19, Megatron laid claim to Trypticon Station and the Dark Energon contained within. By this point in the war, however, Starscream was already a full member of the Decepticon army. The Dark Energon was his trump card in case he ever chose to betray Megatron to the Autobots. The taking of Trypticon Station happened largely behind the scenes in the novel, without Starscream actively defending it — Megatron took advantage of a rare absence of Starscream from the station to make it his own. He returned from an errand to find his loyal pack of Decepticons brutalized by Megatron's gladiators, and his power base usurped. ''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter II: Fuel of War'''<br /> *Characters available: Starscream, [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]]<br /> *Boss: [[Cybertron's Sentinel]]<br /> Megatron sends the [[seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] to reactivate the ancient [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge|Energon Bridge]] that will produce new Dark Energon. After encountering Autobot [[security probe]]s, strange jelly-fish-like life forms, and fighting legions of Autobot defenders, they succeed. They then start the assault on Iacon.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 22, Starscream and his Seekers reactivate the Geosynchronous Energon Bridge to help Megatron conduct Energon from Cybertron's core to Trypticon Station. The events are basically the same as the game.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter III: [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] Destroyed'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]]<br /> *Boss: [[Sentinel Zeta Prime‎|Zeta Prime]]<br /> With his new powers, Megatron takes the fight straight to the Autobot's capital city. While Starscream and Brawl lead the main attack on the city, Megatron takes Soundwave and Breakdown on a flanking attack to recover the Omega Key, which will allow him to access the core of the planet. Arriving at the key's holding place, the Decepticons learn that the Autobot leader Zeta Prime has taken it to keep it safe. The team regroup with Brawl and Starscream, and use Dark Energon bombers to eliminate the remaining Autobots before storming the building in which Zeta Prime is waiting. Megatron defeats the Autobot leader, stealing the Omega Key and punching a hole in his chest. Zeta reveals that the key Megatron has just stolen only activates the ''real'' Omega Key, and that soon '''it''' will find '''him'''. Suddenly [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|a huge ship awakens and takes off.]]This is the autobots last line of defense.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 24-27, Megatron led a group of Decepticons to capture the Code Key of Justice while Starscream acquired the Code Key of Power. Together, the two could access the Plasma Energy Chamber. He was confronted with Sentinel Prime at the end, but only because the Prime had been Starscream's prisoner up until that point, and the Seeker commander had released Sentinel to delay Megatron. After defeating Sentinel Prime in personal combat (no holographic death rooms), Megatron found the Key inside Sentinel's body. At that moment, Teletraan-1 reactivated Omega Supreme to protect the Plasma Energy Chamber from Megatron, at Starscream's secret behest.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter IV: Death of Hope'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, Soundwave, Breakdown<br /> *Boss: Omega Supreme (Vehicle mode)<br /> An unknown amount of time later, Megatron is commanding his ship in search of the &quot;Omega Key&quot;. The ship is suddenly attacked by Omega Supreme, who shoots them out of the sky, causing them to crash-land in Iacon. Megatron, Soundwave and Breakdown began a desperate retreat from Omega Supreme's attack and take cover in a large tower. Once inside, the group hear Starscream announce that Megatron is dead and that he is taking command of the Decepticons (surprise!). Enraged but unable to make any outside contact, Megatron leads his forces through the city, dodging attacks from Omega Supreme while searching for a way to fight him. Soundwave discovers that they can use some of the Autobot's anti-air and anti-infantry turrets on a tower roof against the massive Autobot. Along the way, the group makes contact with Starscream and corrects his mistake, using him to distract Omega Supreme. Once they reached the turrets, the group manages to shoot down Omega Supreme, causing him to crash to the ground below. This is when Megatron and the others make the final assault on him. To unlock cybertron's core.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 27-28, Omega did nothing to pursue Megatron. Instead, he attempted to depart Cybertron altogether to keep the Plasma Energy Chamber inside him away from the Decepticons. Starscream and the Seekers shot down Omega in a brief aerial skirmish.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter V: The Final Guardian'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, Soundwave, Breakdown<br /> *Boss: Omega Supreme (Robot mode)<br /> The Decepticons descend into the impact crater to loot Omega's remains, but he transforms into robot mode, unleashing his full barrage on the squad. Megatron manages to corrupt Omega with Dark Energon, using him to reach and corrupt the core of Cybertron with Dark Energon. The planet itself is now under control of the decepticons. Or is it?<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 29, Omega did not fight alone — Optimus Prime and his top aides were present fighting alongside Omega Supreme at his crash site, until Megatron brought the Guardian low and ripped the Plasma Energy Chamber from within him. Because that was all he needed from Omega, the Guardian was not captured in Exodus, but left badly wounded for the Autobots to retrieve and repair.''<br /> <br /> ===Autobot Campaign===<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VI: Defend Iacon'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]], [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]]<br /> *Boss: Starscream<br /> In a decimated Iacon, the young Autobot messenger Bumblebee is sent to tell the soldier Optimus that Zeta Prime is dead. Optimus decides to take temporary control of the Autobots, adopting Bumblebee into his team. The two of them and Ratchet kick off a counterattack to push out Decepticon forces. They manage to reactivate the planetary guns, clearing the skies over Iacon, and proceed to aid [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] in reclaiming the Decagon, tangling with Starscream along the way. Entering the Decagon, Optimus receives a message from Zeta Prime, revealing that he is not yet dead but is being held in a prison in [[Kaon]]. Optimus gathers up a bunch of Autobots to rescue their fallen comrade.<br /> <br /> ''A direct conflict with Starscream like this did not take place at this point in the novel. Iacon was the last bastion of Autobot resistance for most of the novel, and did not need to be reclaimed. Furthermore, Sentinel Prime had been captured since the beginning of the war, so Optimus Prime had already accepted his role as leader.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VII: Kaon Prison Break'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]], Bumblebee<br /> *Boss: Soundwave<br /> Optimus allows his team to be captured by the Decepticons and enter the prison. The three are just barely saved from a firing squad by [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]], but as they escape into the tunnels below, Air Raid is captured. The three Autobots sneak through the prison, rescuing Air Raid and releasing all the Autobot prisoners (including [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]]). Using the chaos as a distraction, the trio sneak to the high security bunker Zeta Prime is being held. When the Autobots try to save them, Soundwave attacks, sending out [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]], and [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]]. The Autobots defeat them, but Soundwave manages to retreat. When Optimus tries to rescue Zeta, the Prime tells him that he is already dead and collapses. Optimus returns the body to the [[Autobot High Council]], who tell Optimus that he must accept that he is a Prime and take up his role as leader. Thus, he becomes Optimus Prime. He then travels to the core to stop it's corruption of dark energon.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 32, Optimus Prime, Jazz and Prowl stormed Kaon to recover a dying Sentinel Prime. It did not involve being deliberately captured or a battle with Soundwave.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VIII: To the Core'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]], [[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]]<br /> *Boss: Corrupted Space Slug<br /> Optimus' first task as Prime is to cure the currently infected core. Heading to the entrance, where Omega Supreme is being held by the Decepticons, the three Autobots manage to free Omega, then call in Ratchet to repair him enough to open the Omega Gate. Thanks to the help of some [[space slug]]s, Prime, Warpath, and Ironhide defeat a corrupted space slug and reach the [[Primus|core]]. However, the core tells Optimus that, in order to repair itself, it will have to shut down for millions of years, forcing Optimus and the Autobots to evacuate Cybertron. Before the core shuts down, it gives Optimus the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. A vessel of pure energy and the collective wisdom of the primes.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 33-34, Optimus Prime, Jetfire and Bumblebee traveled down to the Core, disconnected the corrupted Plasma Energy Chamber, and Optimus received the Matrix of Leadership. It was a largely uneventful trek, as Megatron staged no troops around the Core and trusted the sheer intensity of the Dark Energon in that region to ward off any Autobots. Also, no space slugs.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter IX: Aerial Assault'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]], [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]], [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]]<br /> *Boss: [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] <br /> Returning to Iacon, Optimus Prime orders the launching of a full-scale evacuation of Cybertron's surface. However, as the transports leave the atmosphere, Megatron, feeling slighted by his &quot;brother&quot;, begins shooting them down with his &lt;s&gt;giant purple griffin&lt;/s&gt; massive orbital space station. Optimus quickly realizes the need to shut down the station, and hastily sends a group of fliers to shut it down from the inside. The team manages to disable the power core, but Megatron taunts them as he activates a back-up generator. Then the station ''itself'' begins to mock them. Realizing the station is a Cybertronian, the team flies in deeper to find its Conversion Cog to force it into its robot mode before it can finish leveling Iacon, and &quot;The Last Prime&quot; along with it. Succeeding, the Autobots race out of the quickly transforming space station as it reveals itself to be Trypticon. The Autobots manage to shoot out the massive Decepticon's thrusters, causing it to hurtle towards the surface of the planet, just outside Iacon. Meanwhile, Optimus and the others decide to investigate the crash site and finish off the beast themselves.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 36-37, Trypticon Station began firing on the Autobot fleet as it fled Cybertron. Optimus Prime and a crew aboard the ''Eight Track'' commandoed their way into Trypticon and blasted apart the station from within. The novel made a point of (mostly) treating Jetfire as the only Autobot Seeker, and so there were no Air Raid and Silverbolt to act as his wingmen for a flying assault. Also, Trypticon did not transform in freefall.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter X: One Shall Stand...'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, Bumblebee, Ironhide<br /> *Boss: Trypticon<br /> All seems quiet as Optimus, Ironhide, Bumblebee, and others search the wreckage, but soon a very-much alive and enraged Trypticon emerges to wage a long and difficult battle with Prime and the Autobots. After repeatedly targeting key weaknesses, Optimus uses his axe to knock Trypticon off-balance, sending him plummeting into the Energon pool below, causing the last of Trypticon's systems to shut down. Later, as the remaining Autobot transports escape the planet's dying surface, Optimus informes his primary contingent ''their'' new transport - an [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]] that will allow them to keep Cybertron's legacy alive, [[Earth|wherever their adventures may take them.]] So begins the [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|''fall of Cybertron'']]...<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 38, Trypticon Station transformed after making planetfall. Optimus Prime and the core Autobots left Cybertron aboard the Ark, avoiding conflict with it. Instead, the Wreckers led by Ultra Magnus remained behind to confront the creature and cover the other Autobots' escape. Soul-crushingly, the battle between the Wreckers and Trypticon was not depicted and, instead of being destroyed, Trypticon transformed into the Nemesis to pursue the Ark through space.''<br /> <br /> ==Characters==<br /> At the start of each level, the player can choose from one of three characters. <br /> <br /> ==Featured Characters==<br /> {{featuredcharacters<br /> |h1=[[Autobot]]s|c1=<br /> *[[Optimus Prime (Prime)#War for Cybertron|Optimus Prime]] ([[Peter Cullen]]) <br /> *[[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] ([[Johnny Yong Bosch]])<br /> *[[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] ([[Fred Tatasciore]])<br /> *[[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] ([[Keith Szarabajka]])<br /> *[[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] ([[Travis Willingham]])<br /> *[[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] ([[Troy Baker]])<br /> *[[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]] ([[Patrick Seitz]])<br /> *[[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] ([[Kari Wahlgren]])<br /> *[[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] ([[Liam O'Brien]])<br /> *[[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]] ([[Jamieson Price]])<br /> *[[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] (downloadable content character)<br /> *[[Scattershot (WFC)|Scattershot]] (downloadable content character)<br /> *[[Sentinel Zeta Prime‎|Zeta Prime]] ([[Troy Baker]]) (downloadable content character)<br /> |h2=[[Decepticon]]s|c2=<br /> *[[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] (Fred Tatasciore)<br /> *[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] ([[Sam Riegel]]) <br /> *[[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] ([[Isaac C.

If other players are participating, a tally of each participant's kills is kept.<br /> <br /> ===Escalation===<br /> This cooperative mode puts several friends together against an unending horde of enemies. With each horde vanquished, tougher ones come in. The players can get points from killing enemies, and these points can be used to get new weapons, ammo, health, and to access new areas. Characters in Escalation mode are the same as those selected in Campaign (as well as bonus and DLC characters); custom multiplayer 'bots are not available here.<br /> <br /> ===Multiplayer===<br /> This broad option is where you will be spending most of your hours after you beat Trypticon. Here, players can create their own Cybertronian combatant and pit them against the multitude of online [[Fandom|transfans]] and 12-year-olds that will more than likely slaughter you. Custom characters can be leveled up by killing dudes in matches, with specific bonuses being given for specific actions. As they level up, more abilities become available.<br /> <br /> ;Characters<br /> Characters are created from four different bases, each of which feature different weapons, abilities and alternate forms. They are:<br /> *[[Scout (WFC)|Scout]] - Cars. Fast, usually cloakers. <br /> *[[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]] - Jets. Also fast, usually medics and buffers.<br /> *[[Leader (WFC)|Leader]] - Trucks. Balanced, with emphasis on defense and ally-aid.<br /> *[[Soldier (WFC)|Soldier]] - Tanks. Slow and powerful, with offensive abilities.<br /> <br /> Initially, players are only able to create one of each class, but as they level up, more slots open for a maximum of three of each class. Names can be chosen for each, but don't get too excited about making the [[Fanon|Transformer you always dreamed of]]: bodies are limited to about three options per faction and look exactly like characters from single-player (for example, the Autobot Scout category lets you choose from Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Jazz or Arcee). And while you can pick your color scheme, the palettes are rather limited, especially for Decepticons. Downloading or unlocking additional characters will also make their chassis available for customizing.<br /> <br /> ;Playlists<br /> Choosing a playlist will automatically send you into a lobby, where the service will do its best to form balanced teams (I.E., you hopefully won't see a team of level 25 leaders fighting one level zero Scout). The service will also select a random [[Map (WFC)|stage]], which players can veto. Finally, when the game begins, combatants select their character. If your scientist gets butchered too many times, you can pick a different character at any time during the match, and you will switch to it upon dying. Players also cannot pick a faction; the game does it automatically. Weapons can only be picked up from defeated enemies; ammo caches, [[overshield]]s and energon are scattered throughout the stages.<br /> <br /> Playlists include:<br /> *'''Team deathmatch''': Kill 40 opponents to win. Games can range from four to sixteen players.<br /> *'''Deathmatch''': Kill 20 opponents to win. It's a free-for-all.<br /> *'''Conquest''': Capture and defend several &quot;power nodes&quot; until your team gets 400 points. <br /> *'''Code of power''': Capture the flag. Team with highest score after two rounds wins.<br /> *'''Countdown to extinction''': Plant the bomb in the enemy's base three times to win.<br /> *'''Power struggle''': Control the active power node until you get 400 points.<br /> <br /> Players can also set up private matches, where the game options and maps can be adjusted as you see fit, but they are invite-only. Hopefully, you've got a lot of online friends!<br /> <br /> ==Production==<br /> As an early marketing campaign, the game's website included the feature &quot;Operation Transmission Recovery&quot;: using transmission and coordinate dials, you could pick up &quot;transmissions&quot; from Cybertron (or &quot;video clips&quot; to you and me). <br /> <br /> The art and design team did intense research (i.e. watched the original cartoon, looked at comics, and watched &quot;typical sci-fi cool stuff&quot; like ''Blade Runner'') to work out the aesthetic of Cybertron; lead artist [[Ivan Power]] remarked that the original cartoon was the main inspiration, and that Cybertron wasn't shown there so they had to rewatch the same few clips &quot;over and over&quot;. While many of the city designs are elaborate and shiny, Decepticon [[Kaon]] was deliberately designed to be sharp-edged, rusting, and slapped together to show the Decepticons weren't interested in building a functioning society.&lt;ref&gt;[http://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2009/12/21/transformers-art-video.aspx Game Informer: Behind the Art of War for Cybertron]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Tyler Bates]] composed the score.<br /> <br /> ==Trophy/Achievement list==<br /> When completing various goals and tasks during the campaigns and in online multi-player, the player can earn Trophies on PlayStation 3 and Achievements on the Xbox 360. There are 4 kinds of Trophies: Platinum is the highest, and is only unlocked after earning all the other trophies. It is followed by Gold, which include harder tasks and worth more experience. Then Silver, with less experience than Gold, and finally Bronze which represent easier tasks and worth the least experience. On the Xbox, each achievement has a Gamerscore (G) that adds to the player's total gamerscore, which is essentially the Xbox Live version of &quot;Street Cred&quot;.<br /> <br /> {| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5<br /> | '''Achievement/Trophy name'''<br /> | '''Achievement/Trophy description'''<br /> | '''Gamerscore'''<br /> | '''PS Trophy'''<br /> |- <br /> | [[A Prime Problem]]<br /> | Complete &quot;Defend Iacon&quot;

The demo is multiplayer only, and only two of the four classes, Soldier and Scout, are playable. Only one &quot;Create a Character&quot; slot is open for each class, but customization for chassis is not available. Players can only level up to Level 3 in each class. The only map available is &quot;Molten&quot;, and the two gametypes available are Team Deathmatch and Conquest.<br /> <br /> ==Reception==<br /> The game has received many positive reviews from critics and fans alike. IGN has given the score 9/10 because of its &quot;Great Presentation&quot;, &quot;Fun Multiplayer&quot;, &quot;Classy Fan Service&quot;, but subtracted from its score due to the &quot;Repetitive Visuals&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[http://ps3.ign.com/articles/110/1101052p1.html IGN's review of ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' on the PS3, page 1]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://ps3.ign.com/articles/110/1101052p2.html IGN's review of ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' on the PS3, page 2]&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;i&gt;GameRankings&lt;/i&gt; sums up the average score of numerous reviews with 79 points&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.gamerankings.com/ps3/981364-transformers-war-for-cybertron/index.html GameRankings' archive of reviews for PS3 version of ''War for Cybertron'']&lt;/ref&gt;, Metacritic averages 77 points&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/transformerswarforcybertron Reviews for the PS3 version of ''War for Cybertron'' at Metacritic]&lt;/ref&gt;, and other scores include 85 from &lt;i&gt;GameInformer&lt;/i&gt; &lt;ref&gt;[http://gameinformer.com/games/transformers_war_for_cybertron/b/ps3/archive/2010/06/22/review.aspx High Moon has the touch, from GameInformer]&lt;/ref&gt;, B+ from 1UP.com&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3180025&amp;p=37&amp;sec=REVIEWS 1up.com's review of ''War for Cybertron'' on PS3]&lt;/ref&gt;, and 4 out of 5 stars from &lt;i&gt;GamePro&lt;/i&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/215618/transformers-war-for-cybertron/ Gamepro's review of ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' on PS3]&lt;/ref&gt;.

It was developed by [[High Moon Studios]] and published by [[Activision Blizzard|Activision]], and it is set in the [[Aligned continuity family]] in the ancient days of the [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]ian war. The game is an over-the-shoulder third-person shooter in which the player can choose his or her character from a small roster of either [[Autobot]]s or [[Decepticon]]s. It was released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at Sears stores on [[June 17]], [[2010]]. On [[June 22]], those and the PC version were released to the broader market.<br /> <br /> Companion games, [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|two for the Nintendo DS]] and [[Transformers: Cybertron Adventures|one for the Wii]], were developed by [[Vicarious Visions]] and [[Next Level Games]], respectively.<br /> <br /> {{quote|One shall stand.|Optimus}}<br /> :{{quote|One shall fall.|Megatron}}<br /> <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> [[Image:WarforCybertron-OptimusPrime.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Prime auditions for Unreal Tournament. There were no survivors.]]<br /> Unlike previous ''Transformers'' video games which feature distinctly separate campaigns for the Autobots and the Decepticons (traditionally depicting the playable faction utterly defeating the other), ''War for Cybertron'' features a single, linear storyline; the Decepticon campaign occurs chronologically before the Autobot campaign, but [[Fandom|fans]] can play through them in whichever order they prefer.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/seibertron-qa-with-activision-makers-of-war-for-cybertron/17548/ Seibertron Q&amp;A with Activision]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> {{note|The novel ''[[Transformers: Exodus]]'' was, naturally, promoted as being in the same [[continuity]] as the game. In practice, however, the two stories differ substantially on many details. The first fifteen chapters of ''Exodus'' chronicle the backstory of the war, with an interlude by Alpha Trion placed between them and the remaining of the thirty-nine chapters. Events akin to the ''War for Cybertron'' campaigns do take place in the second portion of the novel, but the settings, details, and involved parties change in each case. Below, in italics, are brief descriptions of the parallel events that take place in ''Exodus''.}}<br /> <br /> ===Decepticon Campaign===<br /> '''Chapter I: Dark Energon'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]], [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]], [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]<br /> *Boss: [[Autobot Swarm]]<br /> <br /> It is the waning days of the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] before the Transformers come to Earth. [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]], genuinely believing a caste system will bring Cybertron back to its [[Golden Age]], is researching a dangerous power source known as [[Dark Energon]] to fuel his conquest of the planet. Megatron discovers that the factory that produces Dark Energon is guarded by a neutral army led by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], and he leads an attack on the station. After his ship crashes into the hull of the station, Megatron, [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]] and [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]] defeat Starscream's army and harness the power of the Dark Energon. Cornered, Starscream tells Megatron that he's the only one who knows how to make more of the energon and that he will help the Decepticon leader if Megatron takes him into his army. Megatron reluctantly agrees to this. Doing this also causes Jetfire to lose trust in Starscream and warn Zeta Prime of their ambitions. <br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 18-19, Megatron laid claim to Trypticon Station and the Dark Energon contained within. By this point in the war, however, Starscream was already a full member of the Decepticon army. The Dark Energon was his trump card in case he ever chose to betray Megatron to the Autobots. The taking of Trypticon Station happened largely behind the scenes in the novel, without Starscream actively defending it — Megatron took advantage of a rare absence of Starscream from the station to make it his own. He returned from an errand to find his loyal pack of Decepticons brutalized by Megatron's gladiators, and his power base usurped. ''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter II: Fuel of War'''<br /> *Characters available: Starscream, [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]]<br /> *Boss: [[Cybertron's Sentinel]]<br /> Megatron sends the [[seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] to reactivate the ancient [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge|Energon Bridge]] that will produce new Dark Energon. After encountering Autobot [[security probe]]s, strange jelly-fish-like life forms, and fighting legions of Autobot defenders, they succeed. They then start the assault on Iacon.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 22, Starscream and his Seekers reactivate the Geosynchronous Energon Bridge to help Megatron conduct Energon from Cybertron's core to Trypticon Station. The events are basically the same as the game.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter III: [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] Destroyed'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]]<br /> *Boss: [[Sentinel Zeta Prime‎|Zeta Prime]]<br /> With his new powers, Megatron takes the fight straight to the Autobot's capital city. While Starscream and Brawl lead the main attack on the city, Megatron takes Soundwave and Breakdown on a flanking attack to recover the Omega Key, which will allow him to access the core of the planet. Arriving at the key's holding place, the Decepticons learn that the Autobot leader Zeta Prime has taken it to keep it safe. The team regroup with Brawl and Starscream, and use Dark Energon bombers to eliminate the remaining Autobots before storming the building in which Zeta Prime is waiting. Megatron defeats the Autobot leader, stealing the Omega Key and punching a hole in his chest. Zeta reveals that the key Megatron has just stolen only activates the ''real'' Omega Key, and that soon '''it''' will find '''him'''. Suddenly [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|a huge ship awakens and takes off.]]This is the autobots last line of defense.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 24-27, Megatron led a group of Decepticons to capture the Code Key of Justice while Starscream acquired the Code Key of Power. Together, the two could access the Plasma Energy Chamber. He was confronted with Sentinel Prime at the end, but only because the Prime had been Starscream's prisoner up until that point, and the Seeker commander had released Sentinel to delay Megatron. After defeating Sentinel Prime in personal combat (no holographic death rooms), Megatron found the Key inside Sentinel's body. At that moment, Teletraan-1 reactivated Omega Supreme to protect the Plasma Energy Chamber from Megatron, at Starscream's secret behest.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter IV: Death of Hope'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, Soundwave, Breakdown<br /> *Boss: Omega Supreme (Vehicle mode)<br /> An unknown amount of time later, Megatron is commanding his ship in search of the &quot;Omega Key&quot;. The ship is suddenly attacked by Omega Supreme, who shoots them out of the sky, causing them to crash-land in Iacon. Megatron, Soundwave and Breakdown began a desperate retreat from Omega Supreme's attack and take cover in a large tower. Once inside, the group hear Starscream announce that Megatron is dead and that he is taking command of the Decepticons (surprise!). Enraged but unable to make any outside contact, Megatron leads his forces through the city, dodging attacks from Omega Supreme while searching for a way to fight him. Soundwave discovers that they can use some of the Autobot's anti-air and anti-infantry turrets on a tower roof against the massive Autobot. Along the way, the group makes contact with Starscream and corrects his mistake, using him to distract Omega Supreme. Once they reached the turrets, the group manages to shoot down Omega Supreme, causing him to crash to the ground below. This is when Megatron and the others make the final assault on him. To unlock cybertron's core.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 27-28, Omega did nothing to pursue Megatron. Instead, he attempted to depart Cybertron altogether to keep the Plasma Energy Chamber inside him away from the Decepticons. Starscream and the Seekers shot down Omega in a brief aerial skirmish.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter V: The Final Guardian'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, Soundwave, Breakdown<br /> *Boss: Omega Supreme (Robot mode)<br /> The Decepticons descend into the impact crater to loot Omega's remains, but he transforms into robot mode, unleashing his full barrage on the squad. Megatron manages to corrupt Omega with Dark Energon, using him to reach and corrupt the core of Cybertron with Dark Energon. The planet itself is now under control of the decepticons. Or is it?<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 29, Omega did not fight alone — Optimus Prime and his top aides were present fighting alongside Omega Supreme at his crash site, until Megatron brought the Guardian low and ripped the Plasma Energy Chamber from within him. Because that was all he needed from Omega, the Guardian was not captured in Exodus, but left badly wounded for the Autobots to retrieve and repair.''<br /> <br /> ===Autobot Campaign===<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VI: Defend Iacon'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]], [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]]<br /> *Boss: Starscream<br /> In a decimated Iacon, the young Autobot messenger Bumblebee is sent to tell the soldier Optimus that Zeta Prime is dead. Optimus decides to take temporary control of the Autobots, adopting Bumblebee into his team. The two of them and Ratchet kick off a counterattack to push out Decepticon forces. They manage to reactivate the planetary guns, clearing the skies over Iacon, and proceed to aid [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] in reclaiming the Decagon, tangling with Starscream along the way. Entering the Decagon, Optimus receives a message from Zeta Prime, revealing that he is not yet dead but is being held in a prison in [[Kaon]]. Optimus gathers up a bunch of Autobots to rescue their fallen comrade.<br /> <br /> ''A direct conflict with Starscream like this did not take place at this point in the novel. Iacon was the last bastion of Autobot resistance for most of the novel, and did not need to be reclaimed. Furthermore, Sentinel Prime had been captured since the beginning of the war, so Optimus Prime had already accepted his role as leader.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VII: Kaon Prison Break'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]], Bumblebee<br /> *Boss: Soundwave<br /> Optimus allows his team to be captured by the Decepticons and enter the prison. The three are just barely saved from a firing squad by [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]], but as they escape into the tunnels below, Air Raid is captured. The three Autobots sneak through the prison, rescuing Air Raid and releasing all the Autobot prisoners (including [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]]). Using the chaos as a distraction, the trio sneak to the high security bunker Zeta Prime is being held. When the Autobots try to save them, Soundwave attacks, sending out [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]], and [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]]. The Autobots defeat them, but Soundwave manages to retreat. When Optimus tries to rescue Zeta, the Prime tells him that he is already dead and collapses. Optimus returns the body to the [[Autobot High Council]], who tell Optimus that he must accept that he is a Prime and take up his role as leader. Thus, he becomes Optimus Prime. He then travels to the core to stop it's corruption of dark energon.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 32, Optimus Prime, Jazz and Prowl stormed Kaon to recover a dying Sentinel Prime. It did not involve being deliberately captured or a battle with Soundwave.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VIII: To the Core'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]], [[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]]<br /> *Boss: Corrupted Space Slug<br /> Optimus' first task as Prime is to cure the currently infected core. Heading to the entrance, where Omega Supreme is being held by the Decepticons, the three Autobots manage to free Omega, then call in Ratchet to repair him enough to open the Omega Gate. Thanks to the help of some [[space slug]]s, Prime, Warpath, and Ironhide defeat a corrupted space slug and reach the [[Primus|core]]. However, the core tells Optimus that, in order to repair itself, it will have to shut down for millions of years, forcing Optimus and the Autobots to evacuate Cybertron. Before the core shuts down, it gives Optimus the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. A vessel of pure energy and the collective wisdom of the primes.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 33-34, Optimus Prime, Jetfire and Bumblebee traveled down to the Core, disconnected the corrupted Plasma Energy Chamber, and Optimus received the Matrix of Leadership. It was a largely uneventful trek, as Megatron staged no troops around the Core and trusted the sheer intensity of the Dark Energon in that region to ward off any Autobots. Also, no space slugs.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter IX: Aerial Assault'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]], [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]], [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]]<br /> *Boss: [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] <br /> Returning to Iacon, Optimus Prime orders the launching of a full-scale evacuation of Cybertron's surface. However, as the transports leave the atmosphere, Megatron, feeling slighted by his &quot;brother&quot;, begins shooting them down with his &lt;s&gt;giant purple griffin&lt;/s&gt; massive orbital space station. Optimus quickly realizes the need to shut down the station, and hastily sends a group of fliers to shut it down from the inside. The team manages to disable the power core, but Megatron taunts them as he activates a back-up generator. Then the station ''itself'' begins to mock them. Realizing the station is a Cybertronian, the team flies in deeper to find its Conversion Cog to force it into its robot mode before it can finish leveling Iacon, and &quot;The Last Prime&quot; along with it. Succeeding, the Autobots race out of the quickly transforming space station as it reveals itself to be Trypticon. The Autobots manage to shoot out the massive Decepticon's thrusters, causing it to hurtle towards the surface of the planet, just outside Iacon. Meanwhile, Optimus and the others decide to investigate the crash site and finish off the beast themselves.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 36-37, Trypticon Station began firing on the Autobot fleet as it fled Cybertron. Optimus Prime and a crew aboard the ''Eight Track'' commandoed their way into Trypticon and blasted apart the station from within. The novel made a point of (mostly) treating Jetfire as the only Autobot Seeker, and so there were no Air Raid and Silverbolt to act as his wingmen for a flying assault. Also, Trypticon did not transform in freefall.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter X: One Shall Stand...'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, Bumblebee, Ironhide<br /> *Boss: Trypticon<br /> All seems quiet as Optimus, Ironhide, Bumblebee, and others search the wreckage, but soon a very-much alive and enraged Trypticon emerges to wage a long and difficult battle with Prime and the Autobots. After repeatedly targeting key weaknesses, Optimus uses his axe to knock Trypticon off-balance, sending him plummeting into the Energon pool below, causing the last of Trypticon's systems. Later, as the remaining Autobot transports escape the planet's dying surface, Optimus informes his primary contingent ''their'' new transport - an [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]] that will allow them to keep Cybertron's legacy alive, [[Earth|wherever their adventures may take them.]] So begins the [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|''fall of Cybertron'']]...<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 38, Trypticon Station transformed after making planetfall. Optimus Prime and the core Autobots left Cybertron aboard the Ark, avoiding conflict with it. Instead, the Wreckers led by Ultra Magnus remained behind to confront the creature and cover the other Autobots' escape. Soul-crushingly, the battle between the Wreckers and Trypticon was not depicted and, instead of being destroyed, Trypticon transformed into the Nemesis to pursue the Ark through space.''<br /> <br /> ==Characters==<br /> At the start of each level, the player can choose from one of three characters. <br /> <br /> ==Featured Characters==<br /> {{featuredcharacters<br /> |h1=[[Autobot]]s|c1=<br /> *[[Optimus Prime (Prime)#War for Cybertron|Optimus Prime]] ([[Peter Cullen]]) <br /> *[[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] ([[Johnny Yong Bosch]])<br /> *[[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] ([[Fred Tatasciore]])<br /> *[[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] ([[Keith Szarabajka]])<br /> *[[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] ([[Travis Willingham]])<br /> *[[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] ([[Troy Baker]])<br /> *[[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]] ([[Patrick Seitz]])<br /> *[[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] ([[Kari Wahlgren]])<br /> *[[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] ([[Liam O'Brien]])<br /> *[[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]] ([[Jamieson Price]])<br /> *[[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] (downloadable content character)<br /> *[[Scattershot (WFC)|Scattershot]] (downloadable content character)<br /> *[[Sentinel Zeta Prime‎|Zeta Prime]] ([[Troy Baker]]) (downloadable content character)<br /> |h2=[[Decepticon]]s|c2=<br /> *[[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] (Fred Tatasciore)<br /> *[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] ([[Sam Riegel]]) <br /> *[[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] ([[Isaac C.

If other players are participating, a tally of each participant's kills is kept.<br /> <br /> ===Escalation===<br /> This cooperative mode puts several friends together against an unending horde of enemies. With each horde vanquished, tougher ones come in. The players can get points from killing enemies, and these points can be used to get new weapons, ammo, health, and to access new areas. Characters in Escalation mode are the same as those selected in Campaign (as well as bonus and DLC characters); custom multiplayer 'bots are not available here.<br /> <br /> ===Multiplayer===<br /> This broad option is where you will be spending most of your hours after you beat Trypticon. Here, players can create their own Cybertronian combatant and pit them against the multitude of online [[Fandom|transfans]] and 12-year-olds that will more than likely slaughter you. Custom characters can be leveled up by killing dudes in matches, with specific bonuses being given for specific actions. As they level up, more abilities become available.<br /> <br /> ;Characters<br /> Characters are created from four different bases, each of which feature different weapons, abilities and alternate forms. They are:<br /> *[[Scout (WFC)|Scout]] - Cars. Fast, usually cloakers. <br /> *[[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]] - Jets. Also fast, usually medics and buffers.<br /> *[[Leader (WFC)|Leader]] - Trucks. Balanced, with emphasis on defense and ally-aid.<br /> *[[Soldier (WFC)|Soldier]] - Tanks. Slow and powerful, with offensive abilities.<br /> <br /> Initially, players are only able to create one of each class, but as they level up, more slots open for a maximum of three of each class. Names can be chosen for each, but don't get too excited about making the [[Fanon|Transformer you always dreamed of]]: bodies are limited to about three options per faction and look exactly like characters from single-player (for example, the Autobot Scout category lets you choose from Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Jazz or Arcee). And while you can pick your color scheme, the palettes are rather limited, especially for Decepticons. Downloading or unlocking additional characters will also make their chassis available for customizing.<br /> <br /> ;Playlists<br /> Choosing a playlist will automatically send you into a lobby, where the service will do its best to form balanced teams (I.E., you hopefully won't see a team of level 25 leaders fighting one level zero Scout). The service will also select a random [[Map (WFC)|stage]], which players can veto. Finally, when the game begins, combatants select their character. If your scientist gets butchered too many times, you can pick a different character at any time during the match, and you will switch to it upon dying. Players also cannot pick a faction; the game does it automatically. Weapons can only be picked up from defeated enemies; ammo caches, [[overshield]]s and energon are scattered throughout the stages.<br /> <br /> Playlists include:<br /> *'''Team deathmatch''': Kill 40 opponents to win. Games can range from four to sixteen players.<br /> *'''Deathmatch''': Kill 20 opponents to win. It's a free-for-all.<br /> *'''Conquest''': Capture and defend several &quot;power nodes&quot; until your team gets 400 points. <br /> *'''Code of power''': Capture the flag. Team with highest score after two rounds wins.<br /> *'''Countdown to extinction''': Plant the bomb in the enemy's base three times to win.<br /> *'''Power struggle''': Control the active power node until you get 400 points.<br /> <br /> Players can also set up private matches, where the game options and maps can be adjusted as you see fit, but they are invite-only. Hopefully, you've got a lot of online friends!<br /> <br /> ==Production==<br /> As an early marketing campaign, the game's website included the feature &quot;Operation Transmission Recovery&quot;: using transmission and coordinate dials, you could pick up &quot;transmissions&quot; from Cybertron (or &quot;video clips&quot; to you and me). <br /> <br /> The art and design team did intense research (i.e. watched the original cartoon, looked at comics, and watched &quot;typical sci-fi cool stuff&quot; like ''Blade Runner'') to work out the aesthetic of Cybertron; lead artist [[Ivan Power]] remarked that the original cartoon was the main inspiration, and that Cybertron wasn't shown there so they had to rewatch the same few clips &quot;over and over&quot;.

Also like Grimlock, he is one of the more powerful Autobots, and though the other Autobots undoubtedly think of him as dim, he's at least enthusiastic about fighting [[Decepticon]]s. His Cybertronian fighter mode can rain plasma down on any foe he faces. Unlike Grimlock, Swoop liked his upgrade into a [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobot]].<br /> <br /> == Fiction ==<br /> ===''Rage of the Dinobots'' comic ===<br /> {{comingsoon|when= November 2012}}<br /> {{storylink|Transformers Prime: Rage of the Dinobots|Rage of the Dinobots}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Eric Artell]]<br /> {{Note|Swoop is an unlockable character for the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|Nintendo DS version]] of ''War for Cybertron'' (Autobot version), unlocked by completing the &quot;Gaining Strength&quot; story mission level.

Grimlock was keen to have the Autobots test their mettle, however while he was talking, Swoop was kidnapped by a group of Decepticons led by [[Cyclonus (WFC)|Cyclonus]] for their [[Dark Energon]] experiments. In a lab on the outskirts of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Swoop was infused with the dark substance, and by the time the Autobots found him, he felt strange and had the urge to eat heads. He began flying around in his vehicle mode but the Autobots discovered that by zapping him with the equipment in the lab, they could purge him of the Dark Energon. Though Swoop resisted violently, they managed to purge him completely and he announced he felt better.<br /> <br /> Swoop promised to lead the Autobots out of the labyrinth of tunnels, however unfortunately Cyclonus had started the self-destruct sequence on the laboratory. Swoop and his rescuers were forced to race through hostile tunnels, taking down force-fields blocking their path, until they finally got out before the detonation. Grimlock was so impressed with their work that he let Swoop join the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron'' (Xbox/PS3/PC)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Mark Allan Stewart]]<br /> {{Note|On [[September 11]], [[2012]], Swoop and [[Snarl (FOC)|the rest]] [[Slug|of the]] [[Grimlock (WFC)|Dinobots]], excluding [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]], were made available for download in the Dinobot Destructor Pack on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Steam. &lt;ref&gt;http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/9/4/3283751/transformer-fall-of-cybertron-is-bringing-the-dinobots-to-competitive&lt;/ref&gt;}}<br /> [[Image:FOC Swoopart.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Things went downhill for the Great Valley after [[Jeff Bennett|Petrie]] was assimilated by the Borg.]] <br /> Six days before the launch of the Ark, Swoop and the rest of the [[Lightning Strike Coalition]] deserted their post protecting the ship to investigate strange energy readings in the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]]. Said readings were caused by [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]]'s [[space bridge]] experiments at the [[energon lake]], and when they arrived they were set upon by one of Shockwave's other experiments, the [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]s. Shockwave took the opportunity experiment on them, giving them dinosaur forms and testing the results. Grimlock found and freed Swoop first out of the team, and they went searching for [[Slug]]. They first encountered [[Hardshell]], and Swoop used the technology in the room to supply Grimlock with fuel pods for his leader to throw at the bug. Their search for Slug led them to a trashed lab with a hole in the floor, and they split up to continue their search.<br /> <br /> Grimlock found Slug first, and they joined Swoop in searching for [[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]]. They found Snarl being protected by [[Sharpshot]], and once the Insecticon was defeated, they looked for a place to rest and repair Snarl. They located an observation deck which had logs of Shockwave's experiments on them and the space bridge project. Though Optimus ordered them back to base when they contacted him, Grimlock insisted on trying to take the space bridge tower himself, and had Swoop fly him to the top of the tower. Unfortunately the winds became too much for them and they separated. Swoop later watched from afar as the tower exploded. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron}}<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> * Swoop's beast-mode head is available in ''Fall of Cybertron'' multiplayer as a Hunter-type component for [[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]]-class characters.<br /> <br /> * Swoop's alternate mode is a treaded, tank-like ground vehicle in the '''''Fall of Cybertron''''' prequel comic, following suit due to the fact that the other members of the Lightning Strike Coalition have pretty much the same alternate modes.

<p>Ronynus Prime: </p> <hr /> <div>{{faction|decepticon|hofsilver}}<br /> {{disambig3|Starscream}}<br /> :''Starscream is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''<br /> [[Image:StarscreamPrime.jpg|thumb|300px|In a cruel twist of fate, perhaps the most legitimately competent Starscream ever, but no one will take him seriously for even a minute.]]<br /> '''Starscream''' was an Air Commander of the [[Energon]] [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s, [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s finest air warriors. His dream was to recover the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and become the [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] that would return the Transformers to the [[Golden Age]], and he saw opportunity with the rebel upstart [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]. A patient and polite schemer, Starscream used to wish Megatron would drop the heroic anti-[[caste system|caste]] charade and be more honest about his lust for power. <br /> <br /> These days, he alternatively wishes Megatron would stop being obsessed with his lust for power and chafes under having to work for such a madman. While he serves as Megatron's right-hand man, he constantly looks for a way to become the commander himself and Megatron knows it: Starscream's extremely volatile personality means he is not adept at hiding his true intent. Fortunately for Megatron, Starscream is prone to panic, cowardice and bombastic gestures, meaning that it'd take exceptional circumstances for Starscream to actually manage to get behind him to shove the knife in.<br /> <br /> He may be a scientist, but [[Starscream (Prime)#Notes|we're not quite sure]].<br /> <br /> {{quote|That shot was perfect, much like the one who fired it!|Starscream after achieving a headshot|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]]''}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Aligned novels===<br /> Starscream may or may not have had a history as a scientist. Regardless of what he did prior, in the early days before the war began he was one of the leaders of the Cybertronian Air Command. When [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] fell into chaos following bombings by [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s [[Decepticon]] followers, Starscream was posted as [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]]'s bodyguard. He was with the Prime at [[Altihex]] Casino during a performance by comedian [[Armorhide (WFC)|Armorhide]] when the Decepticons attacked. Sentinel's attempt to flee rather than fight back made Starscream ashamed of his leader, so he had [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]] take him to [[Kaon]] Prison rather than the safety of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. This earned him loyalty with Megatron, but wary of how sour a revolution could quickly turn Starscream opted not to be directly involved in the gladiator's operations, posting his Seekers at [[Moonbase One|Moon Base One]] and [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] Station. Megatron was intrigued by why Starscream wanted to occupy &quot;that semi-sentient pile of junk&quot; but despite [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]]'s research they found no clues, with information regarding the Station seemingly censored.<br /> <br /> Whenever Starscream's Seekers were present, the Decepticons were victorious in battle against the [[Autobot]]s. Starscream however, found Megatron's strategies overly convoluted. As the war devolved into a siege of Iacon, Megatron and [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], by probing into forgotten areas of the [[DataNet]], discovered Trypticon was a storage of [[Dark Energon]], the life essence of [[Unicron]]. When questioned, Starscream explained since even the Air Command was not sure what Dark Energon was, he had forbidden its use, fearing the damage Megatron's gladiators would unleash. Megatron forgave Starscream, noting how he &quot;was smart enough to be afraid of it&quot;, and was granted access.<br /> <br /> Starscream sent a message to the Autobots proposing a meeting. Optimus only granted him a communication channel. Starscream stated if the Autobots did not know what Dark Energon was (they did) they would need to find out — and asked what would he could expect from them if something happened to Megatron. Optimus replied that he sought a just peace. Starscream said he understood, broke off the conversation and flew to [[Kaon]] Prison where Sentinel was held. Starscream offered Sentinel a chance to redeem his cowardly behavior at Altihex. The ultimate aim of this road to becoming Decepticon leader was to become [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] in a peace settlement with Optimus, and lead Cybertron back to its [[Golden Age]]. Starscream then flew to Moon Base One when Megatron ordered him to Trypticon, where he found the Decepticons had invaded the Station and slaughtered and maimed his scientists. <br /> <br /> Megatron and [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] forced Starscream to select two survivors to absorb [[Dark Energon]], for what was a successful experiment. Requiring more for the Decepticon war effort, Megatron ordered Starscream to capture the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]], below the ruins of [[Crystal City]]. Empowered by his first taste of Dark Energon, Starscream activated the device that transmitted Energon to the Station for it to be Darkened. But the Bridge still did not produce enough, and Starscream was ordered to find the Code [[Key of Power]] and [[Key of Justice]] to the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] underneath the [[High Council Tower]] in Iacon. Starscream decided it was time to release Sentinel, renouncing Dark Energon after realizing Megatron had turned his soldiers into addicts. Starscream found the Key of Power within the [[Hall of Justice]] and flew underground to find his plan had failed, as Megatron had mortally wounded Sentinel. He could see within Sentinel's body was the Key of Justice, but was prevented from taking it by [[Blackout (WFC)|Blackout]]. Megatron fought Starscream to a standstill, sparing him because he realized he was a better soldier than a would-be example. <br /> <br /> As Megatron entered the Chamber, [[Teletraan-1]] activated the legendary [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] to fly it away. Aware Starscream had a better chance of escaping Omega's awakening, Megatron ordered Starscream and his Seekers to down Omega, in exchange for more Dark Energon. Giving up on his attempt to give up his addiction, Starscream gleefully accepted and they successfully blew Omega out of the sky, allowing the Decepticons to retrieve the Chamber and corrupt the [[core]]. As Cybertron became uninhabitable, the Autobots left on the largest starship ever built - the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]''. Starscream left the planet with Megatron as they gave pursuit on Trypticon, now a ''Nemesis''-class supercruiser. The two ships entered a [[space bridge]], which separated the two ships to unknown parts of space... {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}<br /> <br /> {{charstubfiction}}<br /> {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}<br /> <br /> ===''Prime'' comic===<br /> [[Image:Primecomic-Starscream.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Hey, look, a backscratcher!]]<br /> Starscream had been on [[Earth]] at some point, but was assigned by Megatron to scour the galaxy for remnants of space bridge technology. Returning to their dead homeworld, Starscream built a weapons lab in Kaon and began building a space bridge. He was informed by his [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s elsewhere they had apprehended the Autobot spy [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]]. Later, after basking in the glory of successfully activating the space bridge that would return them to Earth and its [[Energon]], Starscream realized Cliffjumper was present. The Autobot claimed to be freed by his captors after defecting to the Decepticons, and warned them of [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]]: this ruse successfully distracted Starscream long enough for Arcee to activate and overload the space bridge, but he jumped in after them moments before the lab was blown sky high.<br /> <br /> Falling to Earth, a dazed Starscream picked up a [[bunny rabbit]], commenting that [[human]]s were smaller than he remembered. [[Scanning]] a fleet of jets flying overhead, he found Cliffjumper and Arcee driving on a road and launched a missile at them. He picked up Arcee's blown off arm and started battering Cliffjumper with it, but the Autobot blew up the rock formation above them and crushed Starscream with the rubble. Having received Starscream's signal, [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] came to his rescue, and the duo pursued and overwhelmed the Autobots. Just as Starscream was about to send them back to the [[AllSpark]], Optimus jumped and landed on him, while gunning Breakdown away. As Starscream greeted his opponent, [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] tapped him on the shoulder and sent him flying. Optimus opted not to finish the job, allowing Starscream to escape and fight another day as he got Cliffjumper and Arcee to base. {{storylink|Transformers: Prime (graphic novel)|Transformers: Prime}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Prime'' cartoon===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Steve Blum]] (English)|[[Satoshi Tsuruoka]] (Japanese), [[Leopoldo Ballesteros]] (Spain-Spanish), [[Jin-uk Hong]] (Korean), [[Gianluca Iacono]] (Italian), [[Gerald Paradies]] (German), [[José Antonio Macías]] (Latin American Spanish), [[Nicolas Dubois]] (French), [[Nestor Chiesse]] (Brazilian Portuguese)}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:DarknessRising1-Starscreamsneer.jpg|right|thumb|300px|One look sells him as Starscream.]]<br /> Before Starscream joined Megatron and the Decepticons, he was commander of a squadron of Energon Seekers on Cybertron. {{Storylink|Partners}} <br /> <br /> Following the [[Great Exodus]], Starscream intercepted a coded Autobot transmission and managed to trap [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]]. When his interrogation methods failed to extract anything he could use to decode the transmission, he took them to [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]], who used a [[cortical psychic patch]] on Arcee and revealed the transmission to be from Optimus Prime on [[Earth]]. Unfortunately for Starscream, the two Autobots escaped and destroyed the [[space bridge]] that Shockwave had been working on, with Shockwave still inside. {{storylink|Out of the Past}}<br /> <br /> When the Decepticons arrived on Earth, Starscream scouted an old Decepticon ship called the ''[[Harbinger]]'' that had crashed landed years back. However he failed to record the coordinates of the crash site or find the [[Immobilizer]]. {{Storylink|Partners}} In time, [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] departed Earth to gather an army out in space, leaving Starscream in charge. Starscream spent his time sending out [[Vehicon (Prime)|Decepticon grunts]] to search for [[Energon]] deposits{{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}, and managed to set up a lucrative energon mine in secret. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}} <br /> <br /> Three years later, one of Starscream's energon searches was interrupted by Cliffjumper. Once Cliffjumper was defeated by the Vehicons, Starscream personally killed the Autobot. [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] alerted him to Arcee's location, and Starscream decided she would be their next target. Later, when Soundwave received a signal from deep space, Starscream hesitantly opened the space bridge for Megatron's return. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} Megatron revealed to Starscream that he'd brought back [[Dark Energon]], and Starscream provided Cliffjumper's corpse so they could test the substance's reanimation properties. When the undead Cliffjumper's signal led the Autobots to the mine, Starscream blew the facility up on Megatron's orders. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:DarknessRising3-interrogateFowler.jpg|thumb|left|250px|&quot;No, Mister Fowler, I expect you to be saved at the last minute!&quot;]]<br /> Following a test of Dark Energon on himself, Megatron took off for parts unknown, leaving Starscream in charge once more. When Soundwave picked up [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]]'s transmissions, Starscream had the human captured and began trying to extract the location of the Autobot base from him. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}} The interrogation almost succeeded, but for the arrival of Arcee, [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] who, after a standoff, forced Starscream to retreat. Once Megatron returned to the ship, he was outraged at Starscream's actions and proceeded to beat his subordinate for &quot;delaying his plans&quot;. Starscream managed to quell his master's anger by announcing he had a way to get their plans back on course. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:DarknessRising5-ohgeez.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Oh my God. It's called toothpaste, use it.]]<br /> As it turned out, his plan was to send Soundwave down to use the [[Giant Sized Array]] radio telescope on Earth to set the space bridge's target. Once the bridge was properly targeted, Starscream opened it so that Megatron could throw the chunk of Dark Energon though. Starscream moved the ship back to a safe distance when the fighting on the rim of the space bridge became more intense, while imploring his master to withdraw as well. Alas, the space bridge exploded, apparently taking Megatron with it, and Starscream gave a brief eulogy before declaring himself leader. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Masters&amp;Students-SoundwaveStarscream.jpg|thumb|250px|left|*ping* &quot;FINE! FINE! I'LL WRITE A THANK-YOU NOTE!&quot;]]<br /> Starscream's speeches were poorly received. Intending to find more potentially-loyal warriors, Starscream took Soundwave to try to revive the long-dormant [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]]. To Starscream's disappointment, Skyquake was loyal only to Megatron, and interested only in fighting the Autobots who arrived. A signal detected by Soundwave sent Starscream to the location of the space bridge explosion, where he found Megatron's body and ripped the sliver of Dark Energon from it. He was forced by the observing [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] to return the body to the ''[[Trypticon (Prime)|Nemesis]]'', where he also learned that Skyquake had been terminated by the Autobots. {{storylink|Masters &amp; Students}}<br /> <br /> When [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] arrived on Earth, Starscream had him captured and substituted [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]] with the mission to open the Autobot [[GroundBridge]] to let the Decepticon forces into the Autobot base. Unfortunately Wheeljack broke free before the plan could succeed, and as a result, Makeshift was expelled from the Autobot base onto the ''Nemesis'' hull with an activated grenade. Starscream vacated the hull before Makeshift exploded. {{storylink|Con Job}} After Soundwave picked up on [[Dynamic Nuclear Generation System|another Autobot operation]], Starscream figured it was a good opportunity to get rid of the Autobots while they were distracted, and sent a squadron of Vehicons on a search and destroy mission. {{storylink|Convoy (episode)|Convoy}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:DeusExMachina-Screamer grins.jpg|right|thumb|250px|&quot;We've had too much Energon shed. I think that a cleansing is in order.&quot;]]<br /> To Starscream's discomfort, the crew held a vote and he was obliged to call in [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] to aid in Megatron's recovery. The discovery that an [[Energon Harvester]] was located in an museum on Earth was all the excuse Starscream needed to put that on hold, and the other Decepticons soon obtained the device for him. While they were testing it in [[Greece]], Bulkhead attacked them and destroyed the Harvester. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}} Starscream was irritated by Knock Out's participation in street racing, and eventually decided to make an example of him. {{storylink|Speed Metal}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:OutOfHisHead-grabby.jpg|left|thumb|250px|That's ''not'' how ATB Megatron and Starscream combine!]]<br /> Some time later, after the ship's electromagnetic shielding failed, Starscream put the Vehicons to work fixing it. Offering Knock Out a post as second-in-command, Starscream persuaded him to help convince Soundwave that Megatron was a lost cause. They were interrupted by Arcee and Bumblebee, who were doing something with Megatron's corpse, and after chasing the two Autobots off, they discovered that Megatron no longer had any brain activity. {{storylink|Sick Mind}} Overjoyed at this, Starscream began a new plan, constructing a heat ray which he attempted to use to melt a glacier to get to a huge [[energon]] deposit. Unfortunately, not only did the Autobots arrive and destroy the heat ray, but Megatron was resurrected and dragged the protesting Starscream away for punishment. {{storylink|Out of His Head}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Shadowzone-gah.jpg|right|thumb|225px|Damn, in another [[Starscream (Movie)|continuity]] the arm comes off and they mock it in this one.]]<br /> Starscream ended up in the infirmary as a result of Megatron's punishment, but continued undaunted in his plans. He took the chunk of Dark Energon he'd been hiding, and went to the site of Skyquake's grave, intending to resurrect the warrior as well as imbuing himself with Dark Energon. Unfortunately the Autobots arrived before Skyquake rose, and Starscream had to retreat through the Decepticon GroundBridge, albeit minus his right arm. After subjecting himself to treatment from Knock Out, Starscream returned to the site to confirm whether Skyquake had risen, only to be attacked by Skyquake's zombified right arm. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}}<br /> <br /> When Breakdown was captured to [[MECH]], Starscream's suggestion they rescue their comrade was turned down by Megatron. Starscream went anyway, and found Breakdown had already been rescued by Bulkhead, but escorted Breakdown back to the ship. {{storylink|Operation: Breakdown}} At an old energon mine, Megatron confronted Starscream about his many transgressions and prepared to terminate his subordinate. Starscream was only saved by the arrival of the Autobots, but on escaping the collapsed mine, realized that he would have to go back in and attempt to rescue Megatron, or face his master's possible wrath later. Venturing back inside, he ended up tangling with the Autobots, and when Megatron later found him, he had been left supporting a large boulder. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Partners-ScreamPrisoner.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Why am I always seen like this? Chest and lower body off to one side, head towards y'all.]]<br /> Starscream was sent with [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]] to locate the ''Harbinger'' wreck, only for the spider to leave him webbed up when it turned out the ship was broken in half and the weapon they sought was in the other half. Starscream was found by the Autobots and attempted to convince them he wanted to switch sides, even pointing them to the location of the weapon Airachnid was after. Unfortunately he let slip he'd been the one to kill Cliffjumper, provoking Arcee into attacking him. After fighting her, he was able to limp away, though he decided from then on he would be an independent. {{storylink|Partners}}<br /> <br /> Many months later, Starscream snuck on board the ''Nemesis'' to steal [[energon cube]]s and blundered into the workroom that was being used by the recently-amnesiac Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}} Starscream soon realized what was going on, but when more Vehicons arrived, he was wounded while fleeing the ship. He contacted the Autobots to exchange information for medical help. When [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] and Bulkhead arrived, it turned out they already knew about Optimus's situation, but were interested in what he knew about the space bridge, so he was able to trade the information for aid. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:OperationBumblebee1 Silas meets Starscream.jpg|right|thumb|250px|&quot;Wanna know how I got these scars?&quot;]]<br /> Tracking a signal, Starscream stumbled upon a MECH trap already sprung by Bumblebee. He was intrigued and followed the MECH helicopter and watched as they tried to install the [[transformation cog|T-cog]] they'd taken into a robot. When their attempt to make the robot work failed, Starscream revealed himself and managed to strike a partnership with them. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} With Starscream's help, MECH secured a source of energon and Starscream was there when they used it on their robot. As Bumblebee came looking for his T-cog, Starscream helped defend it, but when it looked like Bumblebee might get it back, Starscream blasted it and left. Unfortunately Silas was less than impressed, and after a short nap thanks to MECH's weapons, Starscream woke up minus his own T-cog. {{Storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Crossfire Starscream injured.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Ouch.]]<br /> While scavenging for energon, Starscream found that Airachnid had been cast out from the Decepticons and obtained a pet in the form of an [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]. She spurned his suggestion that they team up to defeat Megatron, and he barely escaped with his life. Wounded, he employed his previous trick to get medical help from the Autobots in exchange for information about Airachnid's activities, and even later saved Arcee from Airachnid, sparing her life like she spared his much, much earlier. {{storylink|Crossfire}}<br /> <br /> Starscream returned to the ''Harbinger'' in search of energon, and instead found a laboratory containing five [[protoform]]s and the equipment necessary for [[cloning]]. He had soon whipped up five [[Starscream clone (Prime)|Starscream clone]]s, which he dispatched to dispatch Megatron. Unfortunately he soon discovered that he could sympathetically feel every injury they suffered, which gave him a good idea how the mission was going. When the last clone returned to report failure, Starscream sensed the clone's treachery and blasted it. Fully aware of the effect on him, he terminated the clone, screaming in their shared pain as he did. {{storylink|Armada (episode)|Armada}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Triangulation Starscream Apex armor.jpg|thumb|right|240px|]]<br /> He was about to operate on himself to install the clone's T-cog when the ship detected the Decepticons sending teams out to locations around the globe. Intrigued, he used the ship's GroundBridge to reach [[Antarctica]], only to be captured by [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]], whom he at first mistook for Skyquake. Eventually, Optimus arrived, and after Dreadwing was buried in an avalanche and the Vehicons accompanying him were dispatched, Starscream now found himself as Optimus's prisoner. The two followed a trail to a human research station where the relic everyone was after was being held. Dreadwing soon arrived and another battle between him and Optimus took place. As they fought, Starscream freed the relic, the [[Apex Armor (Prime)|Apex Armor]], from the ice block containing it and claimed it as his own. Covered in a full body suit and towering over both of them, Starscream used the armor to fight both Optimus and Dreadwing, a fight in which he was the aggressor for once in a long time. Though Starscream had enhanced strength and was rendered invulnerable, he still couldn't fly, and a few of Dreadwing's bombs created a hole in the ice which he fell through. He was subsequently forced to plod along the bottom of the ocean. {{storylink|Triangulation}}<br /> <br /> Back at the ''Harbinger'', Starscream discovered a report of [[Red Energon]] on the [[Internet]]. He took the Apex Armor with him, tracking the substance down to a dockyard where he was confronted by Optimus, Arcee and Bumblebee. Donning the armor, he attempted to retrieve the Red Energon first, and managed to rip a chunk off after Optimus knocked him off the crane. While he was trying to tip the crane over, [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] arrived, and using a [[phase shifter]], removed Starscream from the Apex Armor. The Decepticon responded by firing a missile at the three Autobots on the crane and scarpering with a chunk of Red Energon. {{storylink|New Recruit}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Titan Magazines ''Prime'' comics===<br /> Starscream accompanied [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] on a trip to [[Antarctica]] to attack the [[Yamal|NS ''Yamal'']]. He carried the [[static lance]] that Megatron intended to use to detonate the ship's nuclear reactors, and when the Autobots arrived to intercede, Starscream used the weapon to knock [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] out. He tried to do the same to [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], but the Autobot dodged the blow and kicked him in the head. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.3|Ice Breaker}}<br /> <br /> Tasked by Megatron with trying to draw the Autobots out, Starscream attacked and captured [[Air Force One]], taking it to the [[Grand Canyon]]. He sent a message demanding Optimus Prime's surrender in exchange for the safe return of the [[President of the United States|President]], but the Autobots turned up in force. Starscream's accompaniment of Vehicons was soon quashed, and Optimus rescued the President, whom Starscream was using as a human shield, by chopping the Decepticon's left arm off. Defeated, Starscream fled. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.6|All the President's 'Bots!}}<br /> <br /> Starscream was appalled when Megatron revealed the latest plan—pit the Vehicons against each other in a series of deathmatches to ensure their army contained only the toughest. He was even more shocked when Megatron expected ''him'' to fight against [[Fearstorm]]. Through application of his wits, Starscream was able to defeat the much-larger Decepticon and Megatron let him return to the ship. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.7|Megatron's Law}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Sam Riegel]] (English)|[[Gianluca Iacono]] (Italian), [[Leopoldo Ballesteros]] (Spain-Spanish)}}<br /> [[Image:WFC_Starscream.jpg|thumb|250px|Where are your stupid Macross jokes now?!]]<br /> <br /> {{quote|Have no fear, Lord Megatron. Under my leadership, Decepticon victory is assured!|Starscream being all modest|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]]''}}<br /> <br /> For the last thousand years of the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Starscream was in charge of an orbital facility that had the capability of producing [[Dark Energon]], though they maintained only a small stockpile because of its unpredictable and uncontrollable nature. The station's force of neutral soldiers were no match for Megatron's invading forces, while Starscream and [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]]'s repeated warnings that no one could control Dark Energon had no effect on Megatron's determination. Instead, Megatron tempted Starscream with knowledge of his past, reminding him of his demotion from Sky Commander to a mere guard over an all-but-derelict station, and offered to let him join the Decepticons, something Starscream scoffed at — at least, at first. Starscream attempted to destroy the station's stock of Dark Energon before the Decepticon leader could reach it, but failed, and watched, first with amusement as Megatron entered the storage chamber...and then with shock as Megatron infused himself with the substance and bent it to his will within moments. Starscream quickly volunteered his services for the Decepticon cause, causing Jetfire to label him a traitor and leave to warn [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]]. Megatron sent him with [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]] to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to reactivate the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge|Energon Bridge]]. Starscream performed the mission successfully using his trademark style, flair, and modesty, never mind Megatron's taunting and unreasonable impatience, or Thundercracker's warning him of the danger of certain courses of action, or even Skywarp's cluing in to his constant insults. <br /> <br /> During the Battle of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], Starscream led the Decepticons aerial squadrons and [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]] led the Decepticons' ground assault, while Megatron, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], and [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] went behind enemy lines and tried to secure the [[Omega Key]]. When Megatron's group met up with Brawl, Starscream refused to send Dark Energon bombers, saying that he wouldn't let Brawl waste anymore of &quot;his ships&quot;. Megatron took issue with Starscream dubbing the bombers his, and overrode Starscream's refusal. Later that evening, while looking for the &quot;real&quot; Omega Key, they ran into it: [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]]. Starscream assumed Megatron was killed when Omega attacked a dropship Megatron was heading for and declared himself Decepticon commander. Shortly afterward, Megatron managed to communicate with Starscream and ordered him to attack Omega Supreme, getting the massive Autobot off of Megatron's back. By the time Megatron's group were heading for the Autobot turrets, Starscream was ready to sound a retreat, which Megatron overrode with the threat of marking any retreating Decepticon as &quot;kill on sight&quot;. Fortunately, Megatron arrived moments later and managed to defeat Omega Supreme, making the retreat unnecessary. Later on, he was present at the [[Core]] of Cybertron as Megatron corrupted it with Dark Energon.<br /> <br /> As the Battle of Iacon continued, Starscream fought through Jetfire and [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]], and attacked [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]]'s group in the [[Decagon]]. However, the Air Commander was injured by Optimus's [[Energon-axe]] and forced to retreat. The wound was apparently bad enough to cause him to sit out the remainder of the conflict. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===<br /> :''Voice actor'': Sam Riegel (English), Gianluca Iacono (Italian)<br /> Starscream had been in control of Trypticon Space Station for years, until Megatron and his forces invaded. Megatron wished to revive the Dark Energon project to aid him in his conquest of Cybertron, but Starscream would have none of it. Megatron was able to fight his way to Starscream himself, and after a brief battle, Starscream had lost. He begged for mercy, and Megatrons spared Starscream in exchange for loyalty to the Decepticons. Starscream obliged and Megatron was taken to the core of the station.<br /> <br /> After a test run of the Dark Energon's effects on Decepticons in Kaon Prison, Soundwave deduced the element would only destroy the host. A furious Megatron set Starscream to work on fixing the problem, with Starscream continuously bickering with Barricade over his usefullness. The problem was eventually solved in time for an attack on Iacon City. When Megatron felled Zeta Prime and found the Omega Key, the titanic Autobot Omega Supreme was unleashed upon the Decepticons, quickly crushing them with ease.<br /> <br /> Megatron was downright furious with Starscream, declaring he had brought Omega Supreme's rampage upon them all. Starscream retorted that if it wasn't for Megatron and his blind troops, none of this would've happened. Starscream invited Megatron to kill him, but warned him it wouldn't do a thing about Omega Supreme out for their blood. Megatron for the moment let it go, and finally felled Omega Supreme, gaining total dominance over Cybertron.<br /> <br /> Sometime later, Starscream ambushed an [[Autobot rookie|Autobot recruit-in-training]], and would've killed him if it wasn't for Optimus charging to the rescue. He wasn't seen again after that. <br /> {{Storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Cybertron Adventures''===<br /> :''Voice actor'': Sam Riegel (English), Gianluca Iacono (Italian)<br /> <br /> Being Megatron's &quot;right-hand man,&quot; he wonders how the war could have changed if HE were to be the leader, not Megatron. Still he was ordered by Megatron to do his dirty work, and growing jealous, he waits for the right time, to take his place, as leader of the Decepticons.<br /> {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron''===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Sam Riegel]] (English)}}<br /> Under Megatron's orders, Starscream and the [[Combaticon (WFC) |Combaticons]] ambushed and captured Optimus Prime under the ruins of Iacon during the assault on the Ark. Starscream's gloating on how he defeated Megatron's archnemesis would earn him a blast from the Decepticon's leader's fusion cannon. Starscream's luck would take an uphill turn, however, for Megatron was soon crushed by Metroplex, leaving him the new leader of the Decepticons. At the urging of both Prime and Metroplex, Starscream ordered the Decepticons to retreat.<br /> <br /> Starscream's reign as a leader was lackluster at best. He used most of the Decepticon energon and supplies to further his own ego and cover the Decepticon bases with portraits and effigies of himself and constantly broadcasting self glorifying speeches to his troops. Anyone who wasn't on board with Starscream's reign was thrown into the prisons of Kaon. Needless to say, the prisons were full to bursting as barely a handful of Decepticons hand any faith in their new leader. When the Autobots aquired the entire energon supply the Decepticons kept in the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]]. Starscream sent the Combaticons to stop the transport. When the transport was out in the open, Starscream ordered an assault on it, despite the fact the anti-aircraft gun were still functional. As the Decepticons suffered heavy losses, Starscream aborted the mission and ordered a full retreat. The Combaticons ignored the order and brought the transport down, at the cost of half the energon on board. Despite the fact that the Combaticons had saved the mission he had abandoned, Starscream accused them of failing and had them arrested.<br /> <br /> Later, Starscream decided to have a coronation for himself (despite the fact he had been in charge for some time now). Though sadly it was not to be, as [[The Transformers: The Movie|a newly rebuilt Megatron crashed the event]] and took his crown back from the would-be king, much to everyone else's elation. Luckily, the Air Commander escaped Megatron's wrath, swearing revenge.<br /> <br /> Seeking the means to get back at Megatron, Starscream made his way to Shockwave's lab. He came across [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and promised to free him and his team if they would serve him. The Dinobot kindly refused the offer by throwing him into the control panel, freeing himself. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}<br /> <br /> === ''Transformers Prime: The Game'' ===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Steve Blum]] (English)}}<br /> [[Image:TransformersPrimeTheGame Starscream.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]<br /> {{comingsoon|when=October 30, 2012}}<br /> {{storylink|Transformers Prime: The Game}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===War for Cybertron===<br /> [[Image:WFC_Legends_Starscream.jpg|thumb|300px|So I'm ''Cybertron'' Starscream in Generation 1 Starscream colors as ''Prime'' Starscream.

Additionally, he has a [[5mm post|5mm peg]] hole that goes through each arm, both of which become the sides of his jet mode tail. This allows accessories with the same size peg to be used in either mode.

He now comes with two missiles, as well as a missile pod attached to a half-translucent base of random parts, both of which can be mounted (via 5mm posts) behind his canopy/on his back, or onto his wings, arms, and hands. Additionally, the missile pod itself features a peg-hole on each side, and his wings each feature a [[Mini-Con]]-compatible peg. When the missile pod/lever is pulled, the LED inside the weapon housing lights up red and swivels down, and the base extends to form his &quot;null-ray blaster&quot;, all while being illuminated by the LED as a sort of &quot;Energon glow&quot;. As with other Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, the deployed weapon cannot lock into place.<br /> <br /> : His prototype [[stock photography]] depicts additional [[paint operation]]s on the wings and vertical stabilizer that were omitted in the final product.

Unlike most of the [[Arms Micron]] line, Starscream himself appears to have no [[retool]]ing whatsoever, using only the Hasbro version's existing [[5mm post]]s and holes.

Published by [[Activision Blizzard|Activision]] and developed by [[High Moon Studios]], the game is a continuation of the events of ''War for Cybertron'', It explores the [[Autobot]]s' attempts to escape from a rapidly deteriorating [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] aboard the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'', as well as the gradual downfall and collapse of the remnants of Cybertronian society. A side story also focuses on the creation of the [[Dinobot (FOC)| Dinobots]]. <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> ===Chapter I: The Exodus===<br /> :''Character: [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]]''<br /> <br /> The [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]] heads off to the portal which will take them to [[Earth]]. [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] invades the ship using the ''[[Trypticon (Prime)|Nemesis]]'', sending [[Decepticon]]s over directly to the bridge of the Ark, forcing Bumblebee, [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] and [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] to fight off the aggressors. With more Decepticons swarming the engine room, Optimus heads off to help, leaving Bumblebee to protect the bridge. The artillery cannons are taken offline and the ship blows a [[moleculon fuse|fuse]]. Ratchet sends Bumblebee off to fix it, and after braving nearly being sucked into space, the scout soon replaces the fuse and ascending up a lift to the defense tower. He witnesses Autobots being overrun by a [[Titan (FOC)|Titan]] and then on another level, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] and [[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]] attacking. He reaches the defense mainframe and rushes the Decepticon manning it, reactivating the Ark's guns. The tower is hit by a claw that knocks him down a shaft. With his alternator jarred back into gear, Bumblebee transforms and races through an outer area, avoiding explosions, Decepticon tow cables and large chunks of rubble. He passes [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus]] having a [[Brawl (WFC)|brawl]] and bringing an [[Onslaught (WFC)|onslaught]] of destruction. He makes it to a stronghold, restocking on ammo, energon and weapons. He fights his way through a few waves of Decepticons, making his way to the engine room, where Prime and Megatron are doing battle. He pushes through enemy lines, with the help of two Titans, and makes his way to the engine room. There he finds Optimus and Megatron engaging in a fierce melee battle on the hull of the ship, and just as Megatron fires a huge cannon at Optimus, Bumblebee throws himself forwards, taking the shot meant for Prime. As Bumblebee falls, Optimus lifts his body...<br /> <br /> ===Chapter II: Defend the Ark===<br /> :''Character: Optimus Prime''<br /> Six days earlier, the Autobots are preparing the last transport for launch. [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] reports the energon reserves are aboard, and Perceptor is overseeing city shutdown, only for the news to come that the Decepticons have invaded the city. Optimus tries to contact [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], as it's his sector the Decepticons have invaded, but gets no answer. As Prime moves to head out, a [[Warp Cannon]] crashes to the ground nearby and targets the Ark. Optimus heads through the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] ruins and enters Autobot City through a side door to find the Autobots trying to get the city stable without the absent Grimlock. After helping Ratchet stabilize a badly-injured [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]], Prime sends [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] to find where Grimlock's disappeared to. At the armory, [[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]] reports that [[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]] and others are trapped in a nerve center, so he and Optimus fight their way there. After fighting off a horde of Decepticons, they unseal the [[detpak]] from the nerve center door. Sending Warpath back to the Ark, Optimus goes in to meet with Perceptor, who's struggling to get the city working again so they can fight off the Decepticons. He sends Prime to activate an old artillery gun using energon from the Ark, and Prime soon puts the weapon to good use taking out Decepticons. With news that the Warp Cannons are firing on the Ark, Optimus heads to the engine room, but as he moves towards the flight deck, the corridors restructure around him. Decepticons, including [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], have invaded the area, and Optimus finds many bodies, but heads for the neutron cannon. After fighting his way through more Decepticons, he brings the neutron gun online, but again the targeting is out. Optimus takes manual control and helps defend the Ark refueling station from a number of Decepticon tanks. When the cannon runs out of energon, Optimus heads back inside the city and is guided by a mysterious intelligence to the city's core where he pulls a lever... and the entire city transforms into [[Metroplex (FOC)|Metroplex]].<br /> <br /> ===Chapter III: Metroplex Heeds the Call===<br /> :''Character: Optimus Prime''<br /> Optimus and Metroplex head for the Iacon ruins where the Warp Cannons are located. Once they find the first Warp Cannon, Metroplex laboriously synchronizes his targeting systems with Optimus and together they take out the first cannon. Moving on, Prime helps the survivors of a crashed Autobot ship and finds Warpath in a huge plaza. With the second Warp Cannon shelling them, they head into a building and manage to get close enough to the cannon for Optimus to mark it for destruction by Metroplex. That done, Optimus heads down more corridors and is confronted by three Leapers, which Metroplex handily takes out by putting a fist through the wall. After fighting his way across a huge bridge, Prime gets close enough to the last Warp Cannon to mark it, only for it to take out Metroplex first. With no other choice, Optimus makes his way to the base of the cannon and forces open a door, only to be blasted by Starscream, bashed by Brawl and Onslaught, and dragged in front of Megatron. While Starscream gloats at his victory over Prime, Megatron simply blasts his Air Commander before killing an Autobot in front of the bound Prime. Luckily it turns out Metroplex is back online, and he rips the roof off Megatron's throne room before smashing Megatron into the ground repeatedly with his fist. Starscream pronounces Megatron dead, himself leader and orders the Decepticons back to base. The day is won, but unfortunately all the Autobots' energon is exhausted and they need to find more. Prime believes Grimlock may hold the key, and says Jazz and [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]] are tracking down their missing comrade.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter IV: Eye of the Storm===<br /> :''Character: Cliffjumper''<br /> [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] drops Jazz and Cliffjumper off over the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] in the middle of a rust storm to look for Grimlock. In a ruined base, they find a crashed ship which they recognize as one that was stolen by Grimlock from the base. They soon spot Decepticons moving around and sneak inside the base. As they stealthily make their way through, they overhear some Decepticons discussing [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] and his &quot;pets&quot;. Using a garbage conveyor, Cliffjumper finds himself in an ancient tomb where guardians are roaming around, scanning for Autobots. Jazz reports the rust storm is increasing in intensity outside. Cliffjumper finds a huge domed room and activates a starmap that shows him an image of [[Earth]]. Continuing through the tomb, Cliffjumper finds more Decepticons, plus sword marks and a trail of destruction he recognizes as Grimlock's work. Eventually he reaches outside again and spots Jazz, but a collapse cuts them off from each other. Cliff hunts through the storm and finds Jazz, freeing his companion from some fallen debris. They soon find more devastation and Jazz detects a faint Autobot distress signal which Cliffjumper tracks to a huge pit, just as the Decepticons seal it. Luckily the two Autobots find a huge bomb they use to blow the pit open and, leaving Cliffjumper behind, Jazz leaps in.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter V: Cut and Run===<br /> :''Character: Jazz''<br /> Jazz reaches the bottom of the pit and quickly finds [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] in [[stasis lock]]. The audio he plays back from Sludge's memory is not promising. The meaning of the green pods Jazz spots is clear when he finds himself under attack by the [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]] horde. He blasts a tank which releases a toxic green gas, and he has to race to escape in time. Escaping the pit, he seals it and pair continue to look for the source of the distress signal. They stumble on a huge lake filled with energon which the Decepticons are mining. They fight their way across the moat to the Decepticon facility where Cliffjumper promptly manages to trip an alarm. Jazz utilizes a network of service tunnels, but creeping down one of them, he falls through a grating and is ambushed. Naturally he fights the Decepticons off and even helps out Cliffjumper who's pinned down by Wall Crawlers and other Decepticons. The pair rendezvous at the other side of the moat and head inside the tower. Within, they find Insecticons in tubes and a map pointing to Earth's solar system. Intriguing! Further in, they find Shockwave arguing with Starscream via hologram. Cliffjumper fails to creep up on Shockwave, who sets a bunch of Insecticons on them before leaving. While Jazz keeps the Insecticons busy, Cliffjumper diverts toxic waste into the refinery to make it overload. The refinery starts to melt down and the pair book out, getting picked up by Sideswipe just in time. Jazz contacts Optimus with the news there's a lake of energon ripe for the taking. The Autobots begin preparing a massive energon transport to take the energon to the Ark.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter VI: Death from Above===<br /> :''Character: Vortex''<br /> The Decepticons get wind of the Autobot plan, and as the transport heads back with a load of energon, Starscream tasks the [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticon]]s with intercepting it and leading it to an ambush. [[Vortex (FOC)|Vortex]] and [[Blast Off (FOC)|Blast Off]] are sent to clear a short-cut so Brawl can take a dropship and destroy a bridge. They fly through an ancient Autobot city. The pair run into Autobots though, and Blast Off ends up racing ahead, leaving Vortex to fight them. They eventually reach the bridge, but when Brawl shells it, they find it's shielded. Vortex deactivates the shielding, allowing Brawl to take out the side supports. The central support is a little trickier, and Brawl has to blow a hole in it so Vortex can get in to find the shield controls. After fighting more Autobots, including a Titan, Vortex uses a detpak on the central support and races out as the bridge collapses.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter VII: Belly of the Beast===<br /> :''Character: Swindle''<br /> Starscream springs his ambush on the transport, but the transport's defenses blast them. Onslaught exasperatedly sends [[Swindle (FOC)|Swindle]] under the transport to try to stop it. Swindle takes out the rear wheels and heads to the front, using his grapple to avoid the deadly acid pools, and takes out the front wheels. This unleashes a pair of titans which he has to destroy. However just as victory looks certain, the transport's wheels convert into jets. As the transport takes to the air, Swindle grapples on board.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter VIII: Combaticons Combine!===<br /> :''Character: Swindle/Bruticus''<br /> Within the transport, Swindle begins heading through the transport, aiming to take out the anti-aircraft defenses so the other Combaticons can come over in their drop ship. He blows a hole in an exterior wall and starts making his way along the side of the transport. Starscream announces he's calling off the assault, but is corrected by Onslaught, who still believes they can pull it off. Swindle finds the anti-aircraft cannons can be destroyed by simply shooting the shells being fed into them, so he does that, then moves around to the other side of the ship. Unfortunately the Autobots are wise to what the Decepticons are doing and destroy the controls for the shell feed shields so Swindle can't deactivate them. Onslaught brings the drop ship around, and Swindle hops on. Once he uses the top turret to destroy the last gun emplacement, the Combaticons merge into [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus]] and start breaking things. He smashes through the transports turbine and break into the control room where the Combaticons split and make swift work of the Autobots. Unfortunately though they have the transport in their control, it's badly damaged and going down, and they can do little more than try to control its course as it crashes. Starscream's unimpressed that they managed to destroy half the energon supply in the crash, and when Onslaught talks back, pointing that the Autobots would have gotten all of it if they did nothing and everything going wrong was a result of Starscream's incompetence, Starscream orders the Combaticons arrested.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter IX: Megatron Returns===<br /> :''Character: [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]]/Megatron''<br /> In his [[Soundwave's workshop|old workshop]] under the gladiator pits, Soundwave powers up the assembly systems so he can put Megatron's salvaged body back together. With the help of his minions, he manages to get Megatron back in one piece and uses an infusion of [[Dark Energon]] to bring his master back to life. Megatron's enraged by the news Starscream is in charge and, grabbing his cannon, heads out to confront his former lieutenant. He arrives, naturally, in the middle of Starscream's coronation. Starscream sets the assembled Decepticons onto their former leader, but as Megatron points out, he was practically forged in these arenas. Once he finishes with the many, many Decepticons, he blasts Starscream who flees. Onslaught offers to chase them down, but Megatron doesn't consider him a threat and has other plans. As the Decepticons move a huge statue of him into pride of place, Megatron meets with Shockwave who has deciphered the ancient technology to open wormholes and located a suitably energy rich planet for them to plunder. Megatron boards a drop ship and heads for the crater where [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] crashed with the intention of recovering the giant Decepticon's power core. Unfortunately his drop ship is shot down on the way.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter X: The Final Countdown===<br /> :''Character: Megatron''<br /> Jumping clear of the ship, Megatron notes that the Autobots have installed anti-aircraft defenses. Once the Decepticons assault the facility and take it over, Soundwave detects a power source nearby—the Autobots are using Trypticon's power core as an energy source. Furious, Megatron goes to investigate and takes out the defenses surrounding the main compound before calling in Bruticus to clear a path. The Combiner makes short work of the remaining Autobots and holds the massive doors open so Megatron can enter. After emptying the main compound of Autobots, he enters the main building where some Autobots are reporting to Optimus. Megatron slags them and makes it clear he blames Optimus for [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s depleted state. The Autobots redouble their attempts to keep Megatron away, but as he gets closer to Trypticon, he realizes that the Autobots haven't removed the power core—Trypticon is still functional. Fighting through more Autobot defenses, including a titan, Megatron gets to Trypticon's legs and finds they've been bound. A few shots of Megatron's cannon frees them. Trypticon's torso is similarly easy to find, with a little help from Laserbeak. Once Megatron breaks Trypticon's bonds, Soundwave arrives and hacks the computer while Megatron smashes the Autobots attacking them. Trypticon, however, is still badly damaged. Megatron informs Trypticon that he failed to destroy the Autobots and will be rebuilt into a new form—the ''Nemesis''.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter XI: Starscream's Betrayal===<br /> :''Characters: Decepticon trooper/Starscream/Grimlock''<br /> As the Nemesis nears launch, the Decepticons are roused by an alarm as someone tries to hack Shockwave's data logs. A trooper is sent to check the main server. As the two troopers enter the server, they discuss Starscream, only for Starscream himself to decloak and flatten them. He checks the data logs and finds that Shockwave's latest experiment is in the central tower. He uses EMP detpaks to take out the security towers providing the defenses, which takes out the [[force field]]s protecting the maintenance shafts. Flying inside, he finds Shockwave experimenting on Grimlock with [[Hardshell]] and [[Sharpshot]]. Once they leave, Starscream drops into the lab and informs Grimlock he'll be set free if he pledges allegiance to the Air Commander. Grimlock's responds that he can free himself and throws Starscream into a wall before going to look for [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]]. He finds Swoop, only to be confronted by a hologram of Shockwave, who has predicted this move. After destroying all the Decepticons who come, he solves the problem of freeing Swoop by smashing things and the pair look for the rest of their team. They find more of Shockwave's experiments—Insecticons in tubes—and Swoop remembers where [[Slug]] is. Unfortunately Hardshell is waiting for them with some artillery, and Grimlock has to throw fuel pods at him until the ship's destroyed. Grimlock holds the Insecticon up to the optical scanner so they can progress. When they reach the surgical lab, it's totally trashed and there's a big hole in the floor. Grimlock and Swoop jump in.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter XII: Grimlock Smash===<br /> :''Character: Grimlock/Swoop''<br /> Beneath the lab, the ground gives way under Grimlock, dropping him into a tunnel, and he decides they'll split up to find Slug. He soon finds the area is infested with Insecticons. Shockwave's voice rings out, telling Grimlock that he has yet to fulfill his full potential and transform, and [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]] has volunteered to help. The Insecticon taunts Grimlock and unleashes a huge &quot;bruiser&quot; Insecticon to fight him. When Grimlock is angry enough, he finally changes form into a space ''T-rex''. Kickback decides discretion is the better part of not being slagged, but before he can escape, the door crashes down on him as Slug enters. Slug relates the news that Sludge didn't make it out of the caves, and Snarl's been taken by Shockwave for &quot;extensive testing&quot;. As they step outside where Swoop is waiting, they see Shockwave's [[space bridge]] tower firing up. They soon track down Snarl being guarded by Sharpshot and squash his captor. Searching for a place to take shelter and patch up Snarl, they find an observatory and Slug discovers Shockwave's plans to open a space bridge portal. They contact Prime orders Grimlock to return to base, but Grimlock insists on taking the space bridge himself. With Swoop's help, he flies to the tower and fights his way though more Decepticons until he finds Shockwave working. As he goes to hit Shockwave, he's seized by energy chains, while Shockwave reports to Megatron that all is ready. Grimlock switches to dino mode to break free and rip Shockwave's arm off before bashing the space bridge which explodes. Back in Autobot City, the Autobots note that Megatron's portal is becoming unstable and decide they must urgently launch. Metroplex offers whatever spark energy he has left, which allows the Autobots to launch the Ark, at the cost of Metroplex's life.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter XIII: Till All Are One===<br /> :''Characters: Soundwave/Jetfire/Bruticus/Jazz/Optimus/Megatron''<br /> The ''Nemesis'' draws close to the ''Ark'' as it nears the portal. Megatron orders Soundwave to lead the first wave of the assault. Soundwave rides a tow cable over and, with the help of Rumble and Laserbeak, neutralizes the Ark's cannons. The Decepticons begin their assault en-mass. [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] flies outside and severs the tow cables, but even though he's successful, Bruticus flies right past him and lands on the hull of the ''Ark''. After smashing his way through the Autobot defenses, he busts the ship's main energon tank. Jetfire raises the alarm, and Jazz responds. He tries grappling onto Bruticus and shooting the giant in the face, but with the help of Jetfire and an EMP mine, the Autobots hit Bruticus with a series of air strikes, sending him flying off into space. Elsewhere, Bumblebee jumps in the path of Megatron's shot, saving Optimus. Enraged, Optimus punches Megatron across the hull and they face off once again. Their fight is eventually interrupted by the unstable space bridge portal sucking them and both starships in before closing.<br /> <br /> ==Featured characters==<br /> {{stub}}<br /> {{featuredcharacters<br /> |c1=<br /> *[[Optimus_Prime_(Prime)|Optimus Prime]] ([[Peter Cullen]])<br /> *[[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] <br /> *[[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] ([[Troy Baker]])<br /> *[[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] ([[Fred Tatasciore]])<br /> *[[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] ([[Keith Szarabajka]])<br /> *[[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]] ([[Nolan North]])<br /> *[[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] ([[Troy Baker]])<br /> *[[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] ([[Gregg Berger]])<br /> *[[Hound (Prime)|Hound]] &lt;ref&gt;[http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/26/play-transformers-fall-of-cybertron-multiplayer-on-july-31 Transformers: Fall of Cybertron - G1 Optimus Vignette]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *[[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]] ([[Mark Allan Stewart]])<br /> *[[Slug]] ([[Travis Willingham]])<br /> *[[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] <br /> *[[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]] ([[Sam Riegel]])<br /> *[[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]]<br /> *[[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]] ([[Jamieson Price]])<br /> *[[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]] ([[Jim Ward]])<br /> *[[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] ([[Travis Willingham]])<br /> *[[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]]<br /> *[[Ultra Magnus (Prime)|Ultra Magnus]] &lt;ref&gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachments/transformers-video-game-discussion/27314578d1345329191-full-game-being-played-live-right-now-um.jpg]&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> *[[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]]<br /> *[[Metroplex (FOC)|Metroplex]] ([[Fred Tatasciore]])<br /> *[[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]]<br /> *[[Scattershot (WFC)|Scattershot]]<br /> |c2=<br /> *[[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] ([[Fred Tatasciore]])<br /> *[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] ([[Sam Riegel]]) <br /> *[[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] ([[Steve Blum]])<br /> *[[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] ([[Isaac C.

You run when you should fight!&quot;<br /> :—'''Grimlock''' gives Optimus a piece of his mind.<br /> <br /> ==Gameplay==<br /> Like ''War for Cybertron'', this game is an over-the-shoulder first-person shooter. The player has access to a range of weapons split between light and heavy and can carry one of each class at a time. As one would expect from a ''Transformers'' game, the player character can also transform to [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] which provides more maneuverability and in some cases the power of flight. Whereas in the previous game, characters had two abilities that were charged up by shooting opponents, each character now has &quot;dash&quot; and a unique ability that works on a time recharge. Abilities include Vortex's shockwave, Cliffjumper's cloaking, and Optimus Prime's ability to order a missile strike.<br /> <br /> While ''War for Cybertron'' had three-bot teams in each campaign level, with the user playing as their choice of the three, ''Fall of Cybertron'' instead follows a single character at a time, though the character often teams up with other NPCs. This allows levels to be tailored to the player character's special abilities, such as Jazz's level having plenty of places to use his grapple, and Megatron's levels having places which are only reachable by hovering. The player will sometimes also automatically switch between characters as the narrative demands.<br /> <br /> ''Fall of Cybertron'' introduces an upgrade mechanic. The player collects energon from defeated opponents which they can use at [[Teletraan-1]] machines scattered throughout the levels to buy character upgrades, T.E.C.H. items such as [[C.L.U.T.C.H.]] drones, and weapon upgrades. Upgrades carry over between characters, so Megatron gets the benefit of upgrades purchased by Optimus Prime. Collecting the blueprints hidden in each level unlocks more upgrades or weapons. Also hidden throughout the levels are audio logs, recordings left by various characters which give extra information or insight into an aspect of the game world.<br /> <br /> Grimlock's sections alter the game mechanics substantially. He has no ranged attack, relying on melee with his sword. Rather than gaining currency from defeating Decepticons, their deaths fill his &quot;rage meter&quot;, eventually allowing him to transform to his dino mode that lets him use his [[fire-breath]] and jaws to wreck more havoc.<br /> <br /> ===Multiplayer===<br /> {{stub}}<br /> <br /> ==Transformers references==<br /> Aside from the obvious G1 inspired character designs, the game has some references to previous iterations of Transformers, a number of them from [[The Transformers: The Movie|the original 1986 movie]] and [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]]:<br /> <br /> * Soundwave does a short impression of a light fixture.<br /> * Jazz and Cliffjumper are paired together, just as they were in the film and in the episode [[Starscream's Brigade]].<br /> * Cliffjumper finds an inscription on a tank in the Sea of Rust that says &quot;IX-XVII-MCMLXXXIV,&quot; or the date that &quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&quot; first aired.<br /> * During his coronation, Starscream is wearing the same crown his [[Starscream (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]] wore in the movie, and the dialogue he has with Megatron during the scene is the almost word for word as well. The crown can be found in Starscream's level and worn for its duration.<br /> * When Kickback runs to the door, Slug pushes it from outside and the door falls, smashing Kickback to the ground and when Slug sees Kickback under the door, he says &quot;Excuse me!&quot;. This is a straight homage to the scene where [[Slag (G1)|Slag]] pushes the door and it smashes the [[Quintesson]] prosecutor.<br /> * A secret room can be found in Grimlock's level containing his waiter outfit from &quot;[[Madman's Paradise]]&quot;; upon finding it, Grimlock utters his famous movie quote, &quot;Me Grimlock no bozo, me king.&quot;<br /> * After defeating a group of Insecticons, Slug says that Grimlock tore through them like they were &quot;[[beryllium baloney]]&quot;, but Grimlock says &quot;[[cesium salami]]&quot;, mirroring the scene where their Generation 1 counterparts argue on [[Quintessa]].<br /> * In an audio log left by [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]], the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' is described as [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor]], a term which originated in [[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]].<br /> * The five [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobot]]s are originally grouped together as the &quot;[[Lightning Strike Coalition]]&quot;, the name of [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]'s breakaway Autobot faction in &quot;[[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages]]&quot;.<br /> * The [[Path Blaster]] is named for the [[Pathblaster]] from &quot;[[Time Wars]]&quot;. One of its modifications is named for Generation 1 episode &quot;[[The Gambler]]&quot; and involves the use of [[Destronium]], a substance introduced in ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]''.<br /> * The [[Riot Cannon]]'s &quot;Planet Buster&quot; modification is likewise named after the [[Planet Buster]] that appeared in the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon.<br /> * The [[neutron assault rifle]]'s special modification is the &quot;P.O.K.E. Beta&quot;—not the first [[Punch of Kill Everything]] reference in the game series.<br /> * Other weapon modifications available include [[tachyon transmitter]], [[fireblast]], [[turbo booster]]s, [[transwarp]] ballistics, and [[R-infinity accelerator|R-Infinity]] finders.<br /> * Bruticus's special attack is the [[Sonic Pain Wave]], one of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (franchise)| Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]]'s weapons.<br /> <br /> As part of the expanding Aligned continuity, ''Fall of Cybertron'' also incorporates thematic and visual references to ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Exodus| Exodus]]'':<br /> * Bumblebee's voice circuits/vocal processor getting damaged, essentially rendering him mute.<br /> * Optimus' [[Path Blaster|rifle]] design. <br /> * Cliffjumper's head design.<br /> * Megatron's reformatted/rebuilt body design.<br /> * Trypticon being reformatted into the ''Nemesis''.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.transformersgame.com/ Official Website]<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/10/06/november-cover-revealed-transformers-fall-of-cybertron.aspx November cover revealed: Fall of Cybertron] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/07/transformers-high-moon-studios-tour.aspx Transformers: High Moon Studio tour] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/10/fall-of-cybertron-the-new-optimus-prime.aspx Fall of Cybertron: The New Optimus Prime] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/games/transformers_fall_of_cybertron/b/xbox360/archive/2011/10/14/grimlock-rises-in-transformers-fall-of-cybertron-teaser-trailer.aspx Grimlock Rises In Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Teaser Trailer] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/12/behind-the-crosshairs-the-weapons-of-transformers.aspx Behind the Crosshairs: The Weapons of Transformers] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://youtu.be/Tn4ECyCExeg Fall of Cybertron Teaser 01] @ YouTube<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/13/the-illustrated-tour-of-cybertron.aspx The Illustrated Tour of Cybertron] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/17/directing-transformers-fall-of-cybertron.aspx The Story And Direction Of Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/19/animating-the-transformers.aspx Animating The Transformers] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/20/clever-devils-the-enemies-and-ai-of-fall-of-cybertron.aspx The Enemies &amp; AI Of Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/21/transformers-resurrecting-the-dinobots.aspx Transformers: Resurrecting The Dinobots] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/24/fall-of-cybertron-deep-character-dive-jazz.aspx Fall Of Cybertron Deep Character Dive: Jazz] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/26/the-transformers-timeline.aspx The Transformers Timeline] @ Game Informer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/26/true-to-character-transformer-fall-of-cybertron.aspx True To Form: Safeguarding The Transformers License] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/28/creating-the-sounds-of-the-transformers.aspx Creating The Soundscape Of Transformers] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/31/larger-than-life-designing-transformer-s-set-piece-moments.aspx Larger Than Life: Designing Fall of Cybertron's Set Piece Moments] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/11/02/transformers-fall-of-cybertron-gameplay-roundtable.aspx Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Gameplay Roundtable] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/podcasts/archive/2011/11/03/tfse.aspx Special Edition Podcast: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVsINYfFG5Q Fall of Cybertron Cinematic Teaser Trailer] @ YouTube<br /> *[http://www.spike.com/events/video-game-awards-2011/world-premiere-trailers/ul8dqy Fall of Cybertron Cinematic Trailer] @ Spike TV ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3E358n7pcI Mirrored] @ YouTube)<br /> *[http://www.gamespot.com/transformers-fall-of-cybertron/videos/transformers-fall-of-cybertron-official-trailer-6368583/ Fall of Cybertron Official Gameplay Trailer] @ Gamespot<br /> <br /> ==Footnotes==<br /> <br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Aligned video games]]<br /> [[Category:Fall of Cybertron]]</div>

Published by [[Activision Blizzard|Activision]] and developed by [[High Moon Studios]], the game is a continuation of the events of ''War for Cybertron'', It explores the [[Autobot]]s' attempts to escape from a rapidly deteriorating [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] aboard the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'', as well as the gradual downfall and collapse of the remnants of Cybertronian society. A side story also focuses on the creation of the [[Dinobot (FOC)| Dinobots]]. <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> ===Chapter I: The Exodus===<br /> :''Character: [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]]''<br /> <br /> The [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]] heads off to the portal which will take them to [[Earth]]. [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] invades the ship using the ''[[Trypticon (Prime)|Nemesis]]'', sending [[Decepticon]]s over directly to the bridge of the Ark, forcing Bumblebee, [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] and [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] to fight off the aggressors. With more Decepticons swarming the engine room, Optimus heads off to help, leaving Bumblebee to protect the bridge. The artillery cannons are taken offline and the ship blows a [[moleculon fuse|fuse]]. Ratchet sends Bumblebee off to fix it, and after braving nearly being sucked into space, the scout soon replaces the fuse and ascending up a lift to the defense tower. He witnesses Autobots being overrun by a [[Titan (FOC)|Titan]] and then on another level, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] and [[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]] attacking. He reaches the defense mainframe and rushes the Decepticon manning it, reactivating the Ark's guns. The tower is hit by a claw that knocks him down a shaft. With his alternator jarred back into gear, Bumblebee transforms and races through an outer area, avoiding explosions, Decepticon tow cables and large chunks of rubble. He passes [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus]] having a [[Brawl (WFC)|brawl]] and bringing an [[Onslaught (WFC)|onslaught]] of destruction. He makes it to a stronghold, restocking on ammo, energon and weapons. He fights his way through a few waves of Decepticons, making his way to the engine room, where Prime and Megatron are doing battle. He pushes through enemy lines, with the help of two Titans, and makes his way to the engine room. There he finds Optimus and Megatron engaging in a fierce melee battle on the hull of the ship, and just as Megatron fires a huge cannon at Optimus, Bumblebee throws himself forwards, taking the shot meant for Prime. As Bumblebee falls, Optimus lifts his body...<br /> <br /> ===Chapter II: Defend the Ark===<br /> :''Character: Optimus Prime''<br /> Six days earlier, the Autobots are preparing the last transport for launch. [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] reports the energon reserves are aboard, and Perceptor is overseeing city shutdown, only for the news to come that the Decepticons have invaded the city. Optimus tries to contact [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], as it's his sector the Decepticons have invaded, but gets no answer. As Prime moves to head out, a [[Warp Cannon]] crashes to the ground nearby and targets the Ark. Optimus heads through the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] ruins and enters Autobot City through a side door to find the Autobots trying to get the city stable without the absent Grimlock. After helping Ratchet stabilize a badly-injured [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]], Prime sends [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] to find where Grimlock's disappeared to. At the armory, [[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]] reports that [[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]] and others are trapped in a nerve center, so he and Optimus fight their way there. After fighting off a horde of Decepticons, they unseal the [[detpak]] from the nerve center door. Sending Warpath back to the Ark, Optimus goes in to meet with Perceptor, who's struggling to get the city working again so they can fight off the Decepticons. He sends Prime to activate an old artillery gun using energon from the Ark, and Prime soon puts the weapon to good use taking out Decepticons. With news that the Warp Cannons are firing on the Ark, Optimus heads to the engine room, but as he moves towards the flight deck, the corridors restructure around him. Decepticons, including [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], have invaded the area, and Optimus finds many bodies, but heads for the neutron cannon. After fighting his way through more Decepticons, he brings the neutron gun online, but again the targeting is out. Optimus takes manual control and helps defend the Ark refueling station from a number of Decepticon tanks. When the cannon runs out of energon, Optimus heads back inside the city and is guided by a mysterious intelligence to the city's core where he pulls a lever... and the entire city transforms into [[Metroplex (FOC)|Metroplex]].<br /> <br /> ===Chapter III: Metroplex Heeds the Call===<br /> :''Character: Optimus Prime''<br /> Optimus and Metroplex head for the Iacon ruins where the Warp Cannons are located. Once they find the first Warp Cannon, Metroplex laboriously synchronizes his targeting systems with Optimus and together they take out the first cannon. Moving on, Prime helps the survivors of a crashed Autobot ship and finds Warpath in a huge plaza. With the second Warp Cannon shelling them, they head into a building and manage to get close enough to the cannon for Optimus to mark it for destruction by Metroplex. That done, Optimus heads down more corridors and is confronted by three Leapers, which Metroplex handily takes out by putting a fist through the wall. After fighting his way across a huge bridge, Prime gets close enough to the last Warp Cannon to mark it, only for it to take out Metroplex first. With no other choice, Optimus makes his way to the base of the cannon and forces open a door, only to be blasted by Starscream, bashed by Brawl and Onslaught, and dragged in front of Megatron. While Starscream gloats at his victory over Prime, Megatron simply blasts his Air Commander before killing an Autobot in front of the bound Prime. Luckily it turns out Metroplex is back online, and he rips the roof off Megatron's throne room before smashing Megatron into the ground repeatedly with his fist. Starscream pronounces Megatron dead, himself leader and orders the Decepticons back to base. The day is won, but unfortunately all the Autobots' energon is exhausted and they need to find more. Prime believes Grimlock may hold the key, and says Jazz and [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]] are tracking down their missing comrade.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter IV: Eye of the Storm===<br /> :''Character: Cliffjumper''<br /> [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] drops Jazz and Cliffjumper off over the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] in the middle of a rust storm to look for Grimlock. In a ruined base, they find a crashed ship which they recognize as one that was stolen by Grimlock from the base. They soon spot Decepticons moving around and sneak inside the base. As they stealthily make their way through, they overhear some Decepticons discussing [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] and his &quot;pets&quot;. Using a garbage conveyor, Cliffjumper finds himself in an ancient tomb where guardians are roaming around, scanning for Autobots. Jazz reports the rust storm is increasing in intensity outside. Cliffjumper finds a huge domed room and activates a starmap that shows him an image of [[Earth]]. Continuing through the tomb, Cliffjumper finds more Decepticons, plus sword marks and a trail of destruction he recognizes as Grimlock's work. Eventually he reaches outside again and spots Jazz, but a collapse cuts them off from each other. Cliff hunts through the storm and finds Jazz, freeing his companion from some fallen debris. They soon find more devastation and Jazz detects a faint Autobot distress signal which Cliffjumper tracks to a huge pit, just as the Decepticons seal it. Luckily the two Autobots find a huge bomb they use to blow the pit open and, leaving Cliffjumper behind, Jazz leaps in.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter V: Cut and Run===<br /> :''Character: Jazz''<br /> Jazz reaches the bottom of the pit and quickly finds [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] in [[stasis lock]]. The audio he plays back from Sludge's memory is not promising. The meaning of the green pods Jazz spots is clear when he finds himself under attack by the [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]] horde. He blasts a tank which releases a toxic green gas, and he has to race to escape in time. Escaping the pit, he seals it and pair continue to look for the source of the distress signal. They stumble on a huge lake filled with energon which the Decepticons are mining. They fight their way across the moat to the Decepticon facility where Cliffjumper promptly manages to trip an alarm. Jazz utilizes a network of service tunnels, but creeping down one of them, he falls through a grating and is ambushed. Naturally he fights the Decepticons off and even helps out Cliffjumper who's pinned down by Wall Crawlers and other Decepticons. The pair rendezvous at the other side of the moat and head inside the tower. Within, they find Insecticons in tubes and a map pointing to Earth's solar system. Intriguing! Further in, they find Shockwave arguing with Starscream via hologram. Cliffjumper fails to creep up on Shockwave, who sets a bunch of Insecticons on them before leaving. While Jazz keeps the Insecticons busy, Cliffjumper diverts toxic waste into the refinery to make it overload. The refinery starts to melt down and the pair book out, getting picked up by Sideswipe just in time. Jazz contacts Optimus with the news there's a lake of energon ripe for the taking. The Autobots begin preparing a massive energon transport to take the energon to the Ark.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter VI: Death from Above===<br /> :''Character: Vortex''<br /> The Decepticons get wind of the Autobot plan, and as the transport heads back with a load of energon, Starscream tasks the [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticon]]s with intercepting it and leading it to an ambush. [[Vortex (FOC)|Vortex]] and [[Blast Off (FOC)|Blast Off]] are sent to clear a short-cut so Brawl can take a dropship and destroy a bridge. They fly through an ancient Autobot city. The pair run into Autobots though, and Blast Off ends up racing ahead, leaving Vortex to fight them. They eventually reach the bridge, but when Brawl shells it, they find it's shielded. Vortex deactivates the shielding, allowing Brawl to take out the side supports. The central support is a little trickier, and Brawl has to blow a hole in it so Vortex can get in to find the shield controls. After fighting more Autobots, including a Titan, Vortex uses a detpak on the central support and races out as the bridge collapses.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter VII: Belly of the Beast===<br /> :''Character: Swindle''<br /> Starscream springs his ambush on the transport, but the transport's defenses blast them. Onslaught exasperatedly sends [[Swindle (FOC)|Swindle]] under the transport to try to stop it. Swindle takes out the rear wheels and heads to the front, using his grapple to avoid the deadly acid pools, and takes out the front wheels. This unleashes a pair of titans which he has to destroy. However just as victory looks certain, the transport's wheels convert into jets. As the transport takes to the air, Swindle grapples on board.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter VIII: Combaticons Combine!===<br /> :''Character: Swindle/Bruticus''<br /> Within the transport, Swindle begins heading through the transport, aiming to take out the anti-aircraft defenses so the other Combaticons can come over in their drop ship. He blows a hole in an exterior wall and starts making his way along the side of the transport. Starscream announces he's calling off the assault, but is corrected by Onslaught, who still believes they can pull it off. Swindle finds the anti-aircraft cannons can be destroyed by simply shooting the shells being fed into them, so he does that, then moves around to the other side of the ship. Unfortunately the Autobots are wise to what the Decepticons are doing and destroy the controls for the shell feed shields so Swindle can't deactivate them. Onslaught brings the drop ship around, and Swindle hops on. Once he uses the top turret to destroy the last gun emplacement, the Combaticons merge into [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus]] and start breaking things. He smashes through the transports turbine and break into the control room where the Combaticons split and make swift work of the Autobots. Unfortunately though they have the transport in their control, it's badly damaged and going down, and they can do little more than try to control its course as it crashes. Starscream's unimpressed that they managed to destroy half the energon supply in the crash, and when Onslaught talks back, pointing that the Autobots would have gotten all of it if they did nothing and everything going wrong was a result of Starscream's incompetence, Starscream orders the Combaticons arrested.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter IX: Megatron Returns===<br /> :''Character: [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]]/Megatron''<br /> In his [[Soundwave's workshop|old workshop]] under the gladiator pits, Soundwave powers up the assembly systems so he can put Megatron's salvaged body back together. With the help of his minions, he manages to get Megatron back in one piece and uses an infusion of [[Dark Energon]] to bring his master back to life. Megatron's enraged by the news Starscream is in charge and, grabbing his cannon, heads out to confront his former lieutenant. He arrives, naturally, in the middle of Starscream's coronation. Starscream sets the assembled Decepticons onto their former leader, but as Megatron points out, he was practically forged in these arenas. Once he finishes with the many, many Decepticons, he blasts Starscream who flees. Onslaught offers to chase them down, but Megatron doesn't consider him a threat and has other plans. As the Decepticons move a huge statue of him into pride of place, Megatron meets with Shockwave who has deciphered the ancient technology to open wormholes and located a suitably energy rich planet for them to plunder. Megatron boards a drop ship and heads for the crater where [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] crashed with the intention of recovering the giant Decepticon's power core. Unfortunately his drop ship is shot down on the way.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter X: The Final Countdown===<br /> :''Character: Megatron''<br /> Jumping clear of the ship, Megatron notes that the Autobots have installed anti-aircraft defenses. Once the Decepticons assault the facility and take it over, Soundwave detects a power source nearby—the Autobots are using Trypticon's power core as an energy source. Furious, Megatron goes to investigate and takes out the defenses surrounding the main compound before calling in Bruticus to clear a path. The Combiner makes short work of the remaining Autobots and holds the massive doors open so Megatron can enter. After emptying the main compound of Autobots, he enters the main building where some Autobots are reporting to Optimus. Megatron slags them and makes it clear he blames Optimus for [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s depleted state. The Autobots redouble their attempts to keep Megatron away, but as he gets closer to Trypticon, he realizes that the Autobots haven't removed the power core—Trypticon is still functional. Fighting through more Autobot defenses, including a titan, Megatron gets to Trypticon's legs and finds they've been bound. A few shots of Megatron's cannon frees them. Trypticon's torso is similarly easy to find, with a little help from Laserbeak. Once Megatron breaks Trypticon's bonds, Soundwave arrives and hacks the computer while Megatron smashes the Autobots attacking them. Trypticon, however, is still badly damaged. Megatron informs Trypticon that he failed to destroy the Autobots and will be rebuilt into a new form—the ''Nemesis''.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter XI: Starscream's Betrayal===<br /> :''Characters: Decepticon trooper/Starscream/Grimlock''<br /> As the Nemesis nears launch, the Decepticons are roused by an alarm as someone tries to hack Shockwave's data logs. A trooper is sent to check the main server. As the two troopers enter the server, they discuss Starscream, only for Starscream himself to decloak and flatten them. He checks the data logs and finds that Shockwave's latest experiment is in the central tower. He uses EMP detpaks to take out the security towers providing the defenses, which takes out the [[force field]]s protecting the maintenance shafts. Flying inside, he finds Shockwave experimenting on Grimlock with [[Hardshell]] and [[Sharpshot]]. Once they leave, Starscream drops into the lab and informs Grimlock he'll be set free if he pledges allegiance to the Air Commander. Grimlock's responds that he can free himself and throws Starscream into a wall before going to look for [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]]. He finds Swoop, only to be confronted by a hologram of Shockwave, who has predicted this move. After destroying all the Decepticons who come, he solves the problem of freeing Swoop by smashing things and the pair look for the rest of their team. They find more of Shockwave's experiments—Insecticons in tubes—and Swoop remembers where [[Slug]] is. Unfortunately Hardshell is waiting for them with some artillery, and Grimlock has to throw fuel pods at him until the ship's destroyed. Grimlock holds the Insecticon up to the optical scanner so they can progress. When they reach the surgical lab, it's totally trashed and there's a big hole in the floor. Grimlock and Swoop jump in.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter XII: Grimlock Smash===<br /> :''Character: Grimlock/Swoop''<br /> Beneath the lab, the ground gives way under Grimlock, dropping him into a tunnel, and he decides they'll split up to find Slug. He soon finds the area is infested with Insecticons. Shockwave's voice rings out, telling Grimlock that he has yet to fulfill his full potential and transform, and [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]] has volunteered to help. The Insecticon taunts Grimlock and unleashes a huge &quot;bruiser&quot; Insecticon to fight him. When Grimlock is angry enough, he finally changes form into a space ''T-rex''. Kickback decides discretion is the better part of not being slagged, but before he can escape, the door crashes down on him as Slug enters. Slug relates the news that Sludge didn't make it out of the caves, and Snarl's been taken by Shockwave for &quot;extensive testing&quot;. As they step outside where Swoop is waiting, they see Shockwave's [[space bridge]] tower firing up. They soon track down Snarl being guarded by Sharpshot and squash his captor. Searching for a place to take shelter and patch up Snarl, they find an observatory and Slug discovers Shockwave's plans to open a space bridge portal. They contact Prime orders Grimlock to return to base, but Grimlock insists on taking the space bridge himself. With Swoop's help, he flies to the tower and fights his way though more Decepticons until he finds Shockwave working. As he goes to hit Shockwave, he's seized by energy chains, while Shockwave reports to Megatron that all is ready. Grimlock switches to dino mode to break free and rip Shockwave's arm off before bashing the space bridge which explodes. Back in Autobot City, the Autobots note that Megatron's portal is becoming unstable and decide they must urgently launch. Metroplex offers whatever spark energy he has left, which allows the Autobots to launch the Ark, at the cost of Metroplex's life.<br /> <br /> ===Chapter XIII: Till All Are One===<br /> :''Characters: Soundwave/Jetfire/Bruticus/Jazz/Optimus/Megatron''<br /> The ''Nemesis'' draws close to the ''Ark'' as it nears the portal. Megatron orders Soundwave to lead the first wave of the assault. Soundwave rides a tow cable over and, with the help of Rumble and Laserbeak, neutralizes the Ark's cannons. The Decepticons begin their assault en-mass. [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] flies outside and severs the tow cables, but even though he's successful, Bruticus flies right past him and lands on the hull of the ''Ark''. After smashing his way through the Autobot defenses, he busts the ship's main energon tank. Jetfire raises the alarm, and Jazz responds. He tries grappling onto Bruticus and shooting the giant in the face, but with the help of Jetfire and an EMP mine, the Autobots hit Bruticus with a series of air strikes, sending him flying off into space. Elsewhere, Bumblebee jumps in the path of Megatron's shot, saving Optimus. Enraged, Optimus punches Megatron across the hull and they face off once again. Their fight is eventually interrupted by the unstable space bridge portal sucking them and both starships in before closing.<br /> <br /> ==Featured characters==<br /> {{stub}}<br /> {{featuredcharacters<br /> |c1=<br /> *[[Optimus_Prime_(Prime)|Optimus Prime]] ([[Peter Cullen]])<br /> *[[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] <br /> *[[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] ([[Troy Baker]])<br /> *[[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] ([[Fred Tatasciore]])<br /> *[[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] ([[Keith Szarabajka]])<br /> *[[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]] ([[Nolan North]])<br /> *[[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] ([[Troy Baker]])<br /> *[[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] ([[Gregg Berger]])<br /> *[[Hound (Prime)|Hound]] &lt;ref&gt;[http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/26/play-transformers-fall-of-cybertron-multiplayer-on-july-31 Transformers: Fall of Cybertron - G1 Optimus Vignette]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *[[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]] ([[Mark Allan Stewart]])<br /> *[[Slug]] ([[Travis Willingham]])<br /> *[[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] <br /> *[[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]] ([[Sam Riegel]])<br /> *[[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]]<br /> *[[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]] ([[Jamieson Price]])<br /> *[[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]] ([[Jim Ward]])<br /> *[[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] ([[Travis Willingham]])<br /> *[[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]]<br /> *[[Ultra Magnus (Prime)|Ultra Magnus]] &lt;ref&gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachments/transformers-video-game-discussion/27314578d1345329191-full-game-being-played-live-right-now-um.jpg]&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> *[[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]]<br /> *[[Metroplex (FOC)|Metroplex]] ([[Fred Tatasciore]])<br /> *[[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]]<br /> *[[Scattershot (WFC)|Scattershot]]<br /> |c2=<br /> *[[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] ([[Fred Tatasciore]])<br /> *[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] ([[Sam Riegel]]) <br /> *[[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] ([[Steve Blum]])<br /> *[[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] ([[Isaac C.

You run when you should fight!&quot;<br /> :—'''Grimlock''' gives Optimus a piece of his mind.<br /> <br /> ==Gameplay==<br /> Like ''War for Cybertron'', this game is an over-the-shoulder first-person shooter. The player has access to a range of weapons split between light and heavy and can carry one of each class at a time. As one would expect from a ''Transformers'' game, the player character can also transform to [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] which provides more maneuverability and in some cases the power of flight. Whereas in the previous game, characters had two abilities that were charged up by shooting opponents, each character now has &quot;dash&quot; and a unique ability that works on a time recharge. Abilities include Vortex's shockwave, Cliffjumper's cloaking, and Optimus Prime's ability to order a missile strike.<br /> <br /> While ''War for Cybertron'' had three-bot teams in each campaign level, with the user playing as their choice of the three, ''Fall of Cybertron'' instead follows a single character at a time, though the character often teams up with other NPCs. This allows levels to be tailored to the player character's special abilities, such as Jazz's level having plenty of places to use his grapple, and Megatron's levels having places which are only reachable by hovering. The player will sometimes also automatically switch between characters as the narrative demands.<br /> <br /> ''Fall of Cybertron'' introduces an upgrade mechanic. The player collects energon from defeated opponents which they can use at [[Teletraan-1]] machines scattered throughout the levels to buy character upgrades, T.E.C.H. items such as [[C.L.U.T.C.H.]] drones, and weapon upgrades. Upgrades carry over between characters, so Megatron gets the benefit of upgrades purchased by Optimus Prime. Collecting the blueprints hidden in each level unlocks more upgrades or weapons. Also hidden throughout the levels are audio logs, recordings left by various characters which give extra information or insight into an aspect of the game world.<br /> <br /> Grimlock's sections alter the game mechanics substantially. He has no ranged attack, relying on melee with his sword. Rather than gaining currency from defeating Decepticons, their deaths fill his &quot;rage meter&quot;, eventually allowing him to transform to his dino mode that lets him use his [[fire-breath]] and jaws to wreck more havoc.<br /> <br /> ===Multiplayer===<br /> {{stub}}<br /> <br /> ==Transformers references==<br /> Aside from the obvious G1 inspired character designs, the game has some references to previous iterations of Transformers, a number of them from [[The Transformers: The Movie|the original 1986 movie]] and [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]]:<br /> <br /> * Soundwave does a short impression of a light fixture.<br /> * Jazz and Cliffjumper are paired together, just as they were in the film and in the episode [[Starscream's Brigade]].<br /> * Cliffjumper finds an inscription on a tank in the Sea of Rust that says &quot;IX-XVII-MCMLXXXIV,&quot; or the date that &quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&quot; first aired.<br /> * During his coronation, Starscream is wearing the same crown his [[Starscream (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]] wore in the movie, and the dialogue he has with Megatron during the scene is the almost word for word as well. The crown can be found in Starscream's level and worn for its duration.<br /> * When Kickback runs to the door, Slug pushes it from outside and the door falls, smashing Kickback to the ground and when Slug sees Kickback under the door, he says &quot;Excuse me!&quot;. This is a straight homage to the scene where [[Slag (G1)|Slag]] pushes the door and it smashes the [[Quintesson]] prosecutor.<br /> * A secret room can be found in Grimlock's level containing his waiter outfit from &quot;[[Madman's Paradise]]&quot;; upon finding it, Grimlock utters his famous movie quote, &quot;Me Grimlock no bozo, me king.&quot;<br /> * After defeating a group of Insecticons, Slug says that Grimlock tore through them like they were &quot;[[beryllium baloney]]&quot;, but Grimlock says &quot;[[cesium salami]]&quot;, mirroring the scene where their Generation 1 counterparts argue on [[Quintessa]].<br /> * In an audio log left by [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]], the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' is described as [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor]], a term which originated in [[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]].<br /> * The five [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobot]]s are originally grouped together as the &quot;[[Lightning Strike Coalition]]&quot;, the name of [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]'s breakaway Autobot faction in &quot;[[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages]]&quot;.<br /> * The [[Path Blaster]] is named for the [[Pathblaster]] from &quot;[[Time Wars]]&quot;. One of its modifications is named for Generation 1 episode &quot;[[The Gambler]]&quot; and involves the use of [[Destronium]], a substance introduced in ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]''.<br /> * The [[Riot Cannon]]'s &quot;Planet Buster&quot; modification is likewise named after the [[Planet Buster]] that appeared in the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon.<br /> * The [[neutron assault rifle]]'s special modification is the &quot;P.O.K.E. Beta&quot;—not the first [[Punch of Kill Everything]] reference in the game series.<br /> * Other weapon modifications available include [[tachyon transmitter]], [[fireblast]], [[turbo booster]]s, [[transwarp]] ballistics, and [[R-infinity accelerator|R-Infinity]] finders.<br /> * Bruticus's special attack is the [[Sonic Pain Wave]], one of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (franchise)| Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]]'s weapons.<br /> <br /> As part of the expanding Aligned continuity, ''Fall of Cybertron'' also incorporates references to ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Exodus| Exodus]]'':<br /> * Bumblebee's voice circuits/vocal processor getting damaged, essentially rendering him mute. <br /> * Cliffjumper's head design.<br /> * Optimus's rifle design.<br /> * Trypticon being reformatted into the ''Nemesis''.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.transformersgame.com/ Official Website]<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/10/06/november-cover-revealed-transformers-fall-of-cybertron.aspx November cover revealed: Fall of Cybertron] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/07/transformers-high-moon-studios-tour.aspx Transformers: High Moon Studio tour] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/10/fall-of-cybertron-the-new-optimus-prime.aspx Fall of Cybertron: The New Optimus Prime] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/games/transformers_fall_of_cybertron/b/xbox360/archive/2011/10/14/grimlock-rises-in-transformers-fall-of-cybertron-teaser-trailer.aspx Grimlock Rises In Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Teaser Trailer] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/12/behind-the-crosshairs-the-weapons-of-transformers.aspx Behind the Crosshairs: The Weapons of Transformers] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://youtu.be/Tn4ECyCExeg Fall of Cybertron Teaser 01] @ YouTube<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/13/the-illustrated-tour-of-cybertron.aspx The Illustrated Tour of Cybertron] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/17/directing-transformers-fall-of-cybertron.aspx The Story And Direction Of Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/19/animating-the-transformers.aspx Animating The Transformers] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/20/clever-devils-the-enemies-and-ai-of-fall-of-cybertron.aspx The Enemies &amp; AI Of Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/21/transformers-resurrecting-the-dinobots.aspx Transformers: Resurrecting The Dinobots] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/24/fall-of-cybertron-deep-character-dive-jazz.aspx Fall Of Cybertron Deep Character Dive: Jazz] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/26/the-transformers-timeline.aspx The Transformers Timeline] @ Game Informer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/26/true-to-character-transformer-fall-of-cybertron.aspx True To Form: Safeguarding The Transformers License] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/28/creating-the-sounds-of-the-transformers.aspx Creating The Soundscape Of Transformers] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/10/31/larger-than-life-designing-transformer-s-set-piece-moments.aspx Larger Than Life: Designing Fall of Cybertron's Set Piece Moments] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/11/02/transformers-fall-of-cybertron-gameplay-roundtable.aspx Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Gameplay Roundtable] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/podcasts/archive/2011/11/03/tfse.aspx Special Edition Podcast: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron] @ GameInformer<br /> *[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVsINYfFG5Q Fall of Cybertron Cinematic Teaser Trailer] @ YouTube<br /> *[http://www.spike.com/events/video-game-awards-2011/world-premiere-trailers/ul8dqy Fall of Cybertron Cinematic Trailer] @ Spike TV ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3E358n7pcI Mirrored] @ YouTube)<br /> *[http://www.gamespot.com/transformers-fall-of-cybertron/videos/transformers-fall-of-cybertron-official-trailer-6368583/ Fall of Cybertron Official Gameplay Trailer] @ Gamespot<br /> <br /> ==Footnotes==<br /> <br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Aligned video games]]<br /> [[Category:Fall of Cybertron]]</div>

<p>Ronynus Prime: </p> <hr /> <div>{{faction|decepticon}}<br /> {{disambig3|Brawl}}<br /> :''Brawl is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''<br /> <br /> [[Image:WFC Brawl.jpg|thumb|300px|I carry around these twin cannons on my back... and my default weapon is an assault rifle. Sigh.]]<br /> <br /> '''Brawl''' is rage incarnate. It's not that he doesn't love his job -- he does -- it's just that he has so little control over the destruction he brings to the battlefield. His rage is so great, it's been suggested that when he combines with his fellow [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticon]]s to form [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus]], it's his rage alone that fuels the titan. But fortunately for Brawl, he has no problem with this. Best to love what you aren't capable of controlling in the first place, eh? <br /> <br /> {{bigquote|Real Decepticons roll on treads.|Brawl on car alt-modes.|[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]] }}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)''===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Nolan North]]<br /> <br /> During the final days of the war, Brawl served aboard a Decepticon starship under [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]], who was seeking the [[Dark Energon]] guarded by the neutral Sky Commander [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]. He was part of the bridge crew, along with [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]] as Megatron laid siege to the orbiting station where Starscream hid the supply of Dark Energon. After Megatron gained entry to the station (by ramming his starship into it, no less), Brawl and Barricade then helped Megatron fight his way into the station, past Starscream's soldiers. Starscream's constant taunting irritated Brawl, to the point he requested permission to rip off Starscream's head. He even said please. The Decepticons eventually reached the supply of Dark Energon and prevented Starscream from destroying it, and as his reward, Brawl was infused with the corrupted Energon's power by Megatron.<br /> <br /> [[Image:WFC-Brawlhammer.jpg|left|thumb|300px|BRAWL SMASH!]]<br /> <br /> Later, during the Decepticon assault on the Autobot capital of Iacon, Brawl had the honour of commanding and spearheading the ground attack while Starscream (his head sadly still attached) commanded the aerial forces and Megatron personally led a small strikeforce into the heart of the city. Megatron's team eventually reunited with Brawl and his forces outside the Iacon Vaults, where Autobot leader [[Sentinel Zeta Prime]] had taken refuge. Despite being heavily out-numbered (and being dogpiled by numerous Autobots), Brawl held out until Megatron, [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] and [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] arrived to assist. Brawl complained about Starscream's refusal to give his ground troops air support, but Megatron wasn't interested in excuses.<br /> <br /> When even Megatron's Dark Energon powers failed to open the massive doors to the Vaults, the enraged Decepticon ordered a bombing run. Brawl attempted to protest, since the Autobots' anti-aircraft defenses were still active, but Megatron would not be convinced. After the bombing attempt failed miserably, Brawl tactfully suggested they first take the anti-aircraft guns in order to guarantee success. Megatron noted this was 'an excellent suggestion' and commanded him to see to it.<br /> <br /> [[Image:WFC-Brawlvehicle.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]<br /> <br /> The Decepticons successfully disabled the anti-aircraft guns and Brawl once again called down a bombing run, only to be bluntly refused by Starscream. Taking issue with Starscream referring to the bombers as 'his ships', Megatron cut in and ensured the bombing run would take place. However, Brawl and his comrades now had to hold off a massive Autobot counterattack until the bombers arrived. Despite fighting and killing numerous Autobots (including several Heavy Soldiers and Aerialbots), it seemed as though the Decepticons would be overwhelmed by nothing less than the entire Autobot army. Brawl, keeping track of the bombers' progress, started counting down the last few seconds verbally, and the Decepticons watched as the Autobots realized their doom, too late to retreat to safety. Megatron ordered Brawl to hold his position while he led his team to 'discuss' matters with Zeta Prime.<br /> <br /> Brawl followed his orders to hold his ground to the letter. In fact, while Megatron, Breakdown and Soundwave were being attacked by [[Destroyer (WFC)|a huge Autobot]], Brawl watched, no doubt confident that his master would be victorious.<br /> <br /> He probably wasn't too happy when Starscream claimed leadership when Megatron was apparently killed by a [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|huge heavily-armed ship]]. That was fixed soon enough, though.<br /> <br /> Brawl then journeyed with Megatron and the rest of the Decepticons to Cybertron's core, watching as Megatron corrupted the core and cowered from falling debris.{{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron - Decepticon'' (DS)===<br /> Brawl, Megatron, and Dirge captured an Autobot training facility during the waning days of the Great War. He later accompanied Megatron during the capture of Trypticon Space Station - a station which could manufacture Dark Energon. After a field test, the Dark Energon enhanced the Decepticons' stamina and strength. However, the Decepticons had to journey to Cybertron's core to get the fuel to make more Dark Energon. Brawl helped in an all-out assault on Iacon City to find the Omega Key, the key to Cybertron's core - but upon taking it from Zeta Prime, it activated the titanic Autobot Omega Supreme, who quickly decimated the Decepticons. Brawl followed his leader, and defeated Omega Supreme, gaining total supremacy over Cybertron.<br /> <br /> Later, the Autobots, with their new leader Optimus Prime, came to the Core to flush out the Dark Energon. Brawl had been lying in wait for such an attack, and unleashed his full power upon them. But the Autobots defeated Brawl, and the Decepticon retreated. {{Storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)''===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Nolan North]]<br /> <br /> Brawl joined the Combaticons in the closing battles of the Great War. He and [[Onslaught (WFC)|Onslaught]] helped Starscream ambush Optimus under one of the [[Warp Cannon]]s, and dragged him before Megatron. After Megatron was mashed into the ground by Metroplex, he along with the rest of the Combaticons fell under Starscream's command. They began a mission to assault an Autobot tanker, loaded with Energon the Autobots had managed to steal from the Decepticons. [[Onslaught (WFC)|Onslaught]]'s plan called for the team to split up, as [[Swindle (FOC)|Swindle]] eliminated enemy scouts, [[Blast Off (FOC)|Blast Off]] and [[Vortex (FOC)|Vortex]] would clear a path for Brawl to arrive on a transport and destroy the supports to the bridge the tanker was headed for, diverting it into an ambush led by Starscream. Once the path was clear, Brawl headed in, but his artillery was unable to penetrate the shields around the bridge's supports. Vortex brought down the shields on the two side supports for him though the bridge remained standing, and Brawl had to blast a hole in the central support so Vortex could head in and take it out with a [[detpak]].<br /> <br /> After Swindle disabled the tanker's anti-air guns, the Combaticons merged into [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus]] so they could smash through the rest of the defenses surrounding the bridge. They disassembled to take the bridge itself, but the tanker was so badly damaged, they could do little more than attempt to guide its crash landing. Following the crash, Brawl was arrested alongside his teammates by Starscream's henchmen.<br /> <br /> Brawl was later released alongside everyone else who opposed Starscream after Megatron was resurrected by Soundwave. He oversaw the destruction of a Starscream statue, which he had wanted to destroy ever since the [[Constructicon (Prime)|Constructicon]]s were ordered to build it. Brawl was aboard the ''[[Trypticon (Prime)|Nemesis]]'' before the Decepticons' assault on the fleeing [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]], and became part of Bruticus as the giant attacked the Ark's engines. Bruticus killed off dozens of Autobots before being taken down by the combined effort of [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] and the [[Aerialbot (WFC)|Aerialbot]]s and was last seen flying off the Ark, fate unknown. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Generations===<br /> [[Image:Generationstoy-Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|300px|I'm not [[neon]]...]]<br /> *'''Decepticon Bruticus''' (multi-pack, 2012)<br /> :*''Accessory:'' rifle<br /> : This [[San Diego Comic-Con 2012]] [[exclusive]] pack contains all five Combaticons in game-accurate colors.<br /> <br /> : This toy was &quot;redecoed&quot; into its own mass-release deco, below, as well as into a ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]''-styled [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]].

<p>Ronynus Prime: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Pulleys.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The narrator is an atheist and pushes his evolutionary agenda over [[Primus]].]]<br /> <br /> From time to time, the '''narrator''' will take the time to tell the audience more of what they need to know to understand the events happening in a given piece of fiction. There is no reason to believe what he is saying is ever not true, so his words are treated as [[canon]]. The narrator often has the distinct privilege of being the first to reveal the first facts regarding the strange and alien robotic creatures known as [[Transformer]]s even before we see them in action.<br /> <br /> Occasionally, a [[character]] from the story will take on narration duties and directly tell the audience certain things. It is often unclear when or why the character took the time to record such messages. Perhaps it is some kind of diary, or memoir dictated after the character's adventures have ended. In any case, these narrations can't quite be automatically accepted as absolutely true, since they presumably depend on the knowledge of the character narrating, and his trustworthiness in relaying the events to the audience accurately.<br /> <br /> Sometimes the historical record in the form of recorded [[datatrax|data tracks]] are used to supply narration for a story, indicating the adventure happened some time in the past.

He was part of Optimus Prime's initial landing team, who made contact with the planet's rulers, [[Override (Prime)|Override]] and [[Ransack (Prime)|Ransack]]. It was a time of great stress between Velocitron's rulers, and the Autobots' arrival from mythical Cybertron only exacerbated the situation.

Armed with six-cylinder ion cannons, a quantum-sensitive multiphase targeting system that would make [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] jealous, and of course, the old-school technique of pummeling [[Decepticon]]s with his fists, Cliffjumper prefers to liven up the day with firefights while retrieving enemy intelligence. He more than lives up to his name: He'll fearlessly leap ''long'' before he bothers looking!<br /> <br /> {{bigquote|Need backup?|[[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]]}}<br /> {{bigquote|Do I ''ever'' need backup?|Cliffjumper|&quot;[[Darkness Rising, Part 1]]&quot;}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Exodus''===<br /> Cliffjumper concurred with [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] that while [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] was not an Autobot, he deserved to be rescued. He and [[Ultra Magnus (Prime)|Ultra Magnus]]'s [[Wrecker]]s later escorted [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] to the [[Well of All Sparks]] when they made their journey to purge Cybertron's [[core]] of [[Dark Energon]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus}}<br /> <br /> ===''Prime'' comics===<br /> When the Decepticons returned to their dead homeworld, Cliffjumper went in with all guns blazing to investigate. The [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s piled onto him, grappling him until he was unconscious. He awoke to find himself in their base, which Cliffjumper commented looked like the sort of lair [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] would design. A Vehicon said Cliffjumper would live until he was no longer useful, and asked him to decode an offworld Autobot signal. It came from none other than Optimus himself, ordering his forces to gather on a planet called [[Earth]]. Awed, Cliffjumper then turned to his interrogator and said all the decoded message said was, &quot;Megatron smells like [[Unicron]]'s armpit.&quot; The infuriated Vehicon ordered Cliffjumper's demise just before [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] burst in, slaughtering the Decepticons.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Primecomic-Cliffjumpershoot.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Trademark move: Sharpshooter]]<br /> Cliffjumper tried to greet his old colleague, but she told him to be quiet, coldly informing him she had not come to rescue him, but to tap into the Decepticons' communications. Finding the coordinates of the enemy's weapons lab in [[Kaon]], she was prepared to go by herself until Cliffjumper convinced her that Kaon was too dangerous for her stealthy ways, and that she needed his brawn to back her brain. Entering the city through its maintenance tunnels, Arcee opened a secret passage. As he travelled up an ancient staircase, Cliffjumper's suspicions were confirmed when he saw Starscream overseeing the reactivation of a [[space bridge]]. Arcee wanted to destroy the device, but Cliffjumper saw it as their ticket to Earth. He distracted Starscream by going straight to him and his Vehicons, claiming he wanted to join them. Arcee activated the device, and when Starscream noticed, Cliffjumper jumped his pretense and started a fight, then jumped with Arcee into the space bridge.<br /> <br /> As he plummeted, Cliffjumper momentarily wondered if he was one with the [[AllSpark]], but Arcee confirmed they had fallen onto Earth. Finding a ghost town, they [[scanning|scanned]] their alternate modes. Cliffjumper disdained a passing travel trailer (which he found too ugly) and a truck (which was too bulky) before selecting a muscle car, which Arcee found suitably noisy. He added horns on the hood of his new alternate mode as a finishing touch. As the two drove to find Optimus, Starscream—who had also jumped into the space bridge—attacked them, blasting off Arcee's arm. Cliffjumper fought Starscream and buried him under a pile of rocks, but then [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] appeared. It seemed like the end, but Optimus and Bumblebee came and fought off the two Decepticons before opening a [[GroundBridge]] to their base and sending Arcee through for repairs. Optimus told Cliffjumper his journey was over, but a new battle was just beginning. {{storylink|Transformers: Prime (graphic novel)}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Prime'' cartoon===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Dwayne Johnson|Dwayne &quot;The Rock&quot; Johnson]] and [[Billy Brown]] (English), [[Frank Welker]] (English, [[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcon]] Cliffjumper), [[Noriaki Sugiyama]] (Japanese)|[[Sang-hyeon Eom]] (Korean), [[Robin Kahnmeyer]] (German), [[Sergio Gutiérrez Coto]] (Latin American Spanish)}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Predatory-ArceeBeeCliff.jpg|right|thumb|250px|We know who's [[Wikipedia:Redshirt (character)|expendable]].]]<br /> <br /> During the Great War, Cliffjumper and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] invaded the lair of [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]], who had captured Arcee and [[Tailgate (Prime)|Tailgate]]. Airachnid had already killed Tailgate by the time Cliffjumper and Bumblebee arrived, but they were able to pull a shellshocked Arcee to safety. {{storylink|Predatory}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:OutofthePast-CliffArcee.jpg|left|thumb|300px|]]<br /> Following the [[Great Exodus]], Cliffjumper was investigating reports of a Decepticon operation on the deserted Cybertron when he was captured by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]'s forces along with Arcee. When interrogated, he held out and faked a shutdown, being thrown into the same cell as Arcee. The pair were taken to [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]], who used a [[cortical psychic patch]] on Arcee to decode the transmission—a message from [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] calling the Autobots to Earth. Cliffjumper subsequently kept Starscream busy long enough for Arcee to free herself and the pair went to destroy the [[space bridge]] that Shockwave had build. Cliffjumper distracted the Decepticons while Arcee sabotaged the bridge though Shockwave caught them in the act. Cliffjumper ended up fighting the Decepticon scientist and came off second best, though he was saved by Arcee. The two Autobots jumped through the space bridge, encountering Shockwave one last time mid-bridge before they ended up on Earth. {{storylink|Out of the Past}}<br /> <br /> Three years after the last reported Decepticon activity on Earth, Cliffjumper was still marooned on the planet with his fellow Autobots. Still a strong-willed individual, Cliffjumper had sometimes run afoul of human authorities, resulting in receiving multiple traffic tickets and once having a [[Denver boot|boot]] affixed to his tire due to a parking violation. As he chatted with Arcee over the radio, she admonished him for his stubborn bullheadedness. He countered that Earth was so boring that sometimes he just had to stir things up. <br /> <br /> [[Image:DarknessRising1-Cliffjumperface.jpg|right|thumb|250px|If you think he looks ornery now, you should see him later.]]<br /> Just as Cliffjumper noted that he was starting to miss the Decepticons, his scanners caught nearby activity. He declined Arcee's suggestion for backup and sped off in the direction of the disturbance. He was surprised to find a wide crater full of [[energon]], and even more surprised to find it guarded by the Decepticons! Overwhelming [[Vehicon (Prime)|Decepticon forces]] demanded Cliffjumper put up a ferocious fight, but ultimately, the Autobot was overcome and taken on board the [[Trypticon (Prime)|''Nemesis'']], the Decepticons' warship, and thrown in front of Starscream. The interim Decepticon commander did not respond well to Cliffjumper's irreverence, and the Autobot was stabbed through the chest. Starscream then ordered his troops to clean up the body.<br /> <br /> The remaining Earthbound Autobots arrived on the scene too late, and [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] confirmed that Cliffjumper's [[spark]] had gone offline. Finding one of Cliffjumper's horns in the dirt, Arcee took the piece of her friend to the Autobots' memorial service. The loss of Cliffjumper hit her the hardest, and she stormed off amidst their eulogies, preferring to honor Cliffjumper's memory by keeping Earth safe. Ratchet confided in [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] that as long as the Autobots protected humanity, Cliffjumper's death would not be the only tragedy. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} <br /> <br /> [[Image:DarknessRising2-letsgetyouhome.jpg|left|250px|thumb|He's not supposed to die!]]<br /> Though Cliffjumper had died, his body still had uses. When Megatron wanted a corpse on which to test [[Dark Energon]]'s resurrection powers, Cliffjumper's was used as a guinea pig. Once his torso was stabbed through by a shard of the material, Cliffjumper did spring back to life...though as a psychotic, screaming [[zombie]] that attacked anything in its path! Only being sliced in two by Megatron stopped Cliffjumper's rampage, and his two halves decorated varying levels of the Decepticons' energon mine. <br /> <br /> The initial Dark Energon stabbing did briefly bring Cliffjumper's spark back online, but when Ratchet's sensors picked this up, he dismissed it as a glitch. Regardless, Arcee wanted to investigate. After the Autobots mounted an attack on the Decepticons, Arcee found the top half of Cliffjumper strewn about, but was horrified to see the monster that he had become. Whatever this thing was, it was no longer Cliffjumper, so the zombie was left behind as the Decepticon base exploded. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> When Arcee encountered Arachnid once again, she taunted Arcee by bringing up the deaths of Tailgate and Cliffjumper. {{storylink|Predatory}} <br /> <br /> Later, at Cliffjumper's memorial, Arcee said she had not given up on finding the Decepticon responsible for his death. When she discovered their prisoner Starscream was responsible, she attempted to kill him, only to stop when a shocked Bumblebee convinced her to stop and let him escape. She reflected to Optimus that her desire for vengeance had not brought the solace she sought. {{storylink|Partners}}<br /> <br /> While under the influence of synthetic energon, Ratchet brought up Cliffjumper's death as something Prime should have been more proactive in preventing. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}<br /> <br /> In an effort to make small talk with a [[MECH]] operative, Starscream mentioned that he had personally &quot;snuffed&quot; an Autobot, referring to Cliffjumper. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> When Arcee learned that Bulkhead and Ratchet repaired Starscream's wounds after getting intel on [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]]'s location, she became angry, saying that Starscream had also taken a partner from her. {{storylink|Crossfire}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===<br /> [[Image:WFCDS-Cliffjumper.jpg|right|thumb|150px|If Bumblebee were John Boehner.]]<br /> :''Voice actor'': [[Steve Blum]] (English)<br /> <br /> {{quote|Decepticons deserve a traitor's death!}}<br /> Following the unleashing of [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]], Cliffjumper spotted a party of Decepticons preparing to assault the giant. He attempted to slow their advance with force fields and gun turrets, and when that didn't work, led them on a high-speed chase while trying to shoot them.

After encountering a number of Decepticon [[Guardian (FOC)|Guardians]], Cliff got the opportunity to save Jazz's life when the other Autobots was caught under debris during a rust storm. They followed a distress signal to a huge pit, which Jazz insisted on going down alone, though Cliff kept in contact with him via radio. Cliffjumper ended up facing the hordes of [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]s that poured out of the pit when Jazz flooded it, but with the other Autobot's help, survived. Exploring further, they found an [[energon lake]] and spotted the huge tower in which [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] was conducting his [[space bridge]] experiments.

<p>Ronynus Prime: </p> <hr /> <div>{{faction|autobot}}<br /> {{disambig3|Jetfire}}<br /> :''Jetfire is an Autobot from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''<br /> [[Image:WFCJetfire.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Wikipedia:Kamen Rider Ixa|Decepticon, please return that soul to God]]... wait, do I believe in God?]]<br /> '''Jetfire''' is a dedicated scientist whose personal upgrades to his chassis have made him the fastest Autobot on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He has a strong moral compass, which led to his falling-out with his friend [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], and does not believe in gray areas when making major decisions.<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Aligned novels===<br /> Jetfire wasn't the first [[Autobot]] [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]], but he was the first to defect from the [[Decepticon]]s. He spent most of his time in a laboratory trying to further exploit the Autobots' flight capabilities – a scientific dead end, but one [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] placed great hope in. He was absent when [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] entered [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and stole the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], but accompanied Optimus with [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] as back-up during the rescue of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] from [[Kaon]]. They then moved to rid the [[Dark Energon]] from the [[core]] of Cybertron. While descending, Jetfire was tempted to try some Dark Energon, but Optimus told him if he did, Prime would have to kill him. <br /> <br /> Once at the core, Optimus removed the Chamber and was given the [[Matrix of Leadership]], as well as orders to evacuate the planet as it began repairing itself. Optimus launched Project Generation One, which [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] dubbed the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]''. Jetfire found the notion suicidal, but agreed to help and gave the Autobots time to complete the ''Ark'' by creating a diversion. [[Aerialbot (WFC)|Aerialbot]]s under his guidance gathered every space-worthy ship in the ruins of [[Six Lasers Over Cybertron]], while Jetfire picked the ''[[Eight Track (WFC)|Eight Track]]'' for himself to captain. <br /> <br /> After drawing out [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]], Jetfire evaded the Station's detection system by flying in and out of the Asteroid Belt. He slowly but surely bolted the ''Eight Track'' with an ingress tube on to an unguarded part of the Station, allowing the Autobots to enter and blow up the Dark Energon Facility. Jetfire managed to detach the ship in time before Trypticon crashed in the [[Mithril Sea|Mithric Sea]]. However, Trypticon survived and transformed, and Jetfire refused a place on the ''Ark'' to distract the monster with the flight-capable [[Wrecker]] [[Springer (WFC)|Springer]]. Megatron's elite entered Trypticon, who transformed into the ''Nemesis'' and flew after the ''Ark'', leaving Jetfire on Cybertron with the Wreckers, [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] and [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] to deal with [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]]'s forces. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (360/PS3/PC)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Troy Baker]] (English), [[Gabriele Calindri]] (Italian)<br /> When Megatron attacked Starscream's station, Jetfire confronted him during a lull in the fighting, noting he did not want to fight and that Dark Energon was too dangerous to use, Jetfire himself having seen what it can do. When Megatron declared his intent to take it anyway, Jetfire proclaimed that the Decepticon would destroy them all. Megatron mused, as Jetfire flew away, &quot;You say that as if it were a bad thing.&quot;<br /> <br /> Later, when Megatron had attained Dark Energon and demonstrated his control over it, Starscream offered to serve him and make more. Jetfire was aghast, and quickly escaped the station. Megatron decided to let him go, as he wanted the Autobots to feel dread at his approach.<br /> <br /> During Megatron's siege of Iacon, Jetfire and the other Aerialbots were outnumbered and lacked surface-to-air support, causing significant losses. When Optimus took command, Jetfire specifically requested that the planetary guns be reactivated, which Optimus and his team promptly achieved. With that taken care of, he proceeded to feed tactical data and warnings whenever the still-overmatched Aerialbots could not stop all the incoming Decepticon Seekers, as well as recommendations on key targets of opportunity, including at least one Decepticon warship.<br /> <br /> After Optimus assumed the mantle of Prime and kickstarted the Core of Cybertron's self-purging, he declared that the Autobots would have to leave their homeworld, as it would be rendered uninhabitable. However, as the transports began to leave, a powerful orbital weapon, part of Trypticon station, blasted apart every ship it could target. Prime sent Silverbolt, Air Raid, and Jetfire to take it out. Jetfire provided key knowledge during the assault, including weak points of machinery and barriers, as well as their main target of the plasma cooling system that prevented the orbital weapon from overloading. He made sure the Aerialbots stayed until the mechanism was destroyed (when the system reached 110% capacity and Air Raid was surprised it &quot;went that high&quot;, Jetfire pointed out it didn't, and that was the point).<br /> <br /> Megatron noted with some amusement that the Aerialbots apparently hadn't considered the possibility of backup systems, and ordered &quot;Trypticon&quot; to resume firing. He also entered Optimus Prime's coordinates and told it to bear on him. When Trypticon responded, Jetfire realized that the station, or at least the primary weapon, was a Cybertronian...shortly after which the team realized that they should be able to destroy its transformation systems and force it back into its normal form, which, whatever it was, had to be better than a killsat.<br /> <br /> They found to their shock that this placed them inside Trypticon's mouth, and just barely managed to escape through the gaps between its teeth before it closed its jaws on them; it then headed for the surface, a massive jet pack controlling its descent. The Aerialbots managed to blast the pack apart, causing it to fall to Cybertron's surface like a meteor.<br /> <br /> As Optimus, Bumblebee, and Ironhide battled the brute, which had survived the assault, the Aerialbots managed to find them and set about providing air support. However, Trypticon was much faster than they expected, taking out all three—not quite killing them, but putting them out of the fight.<br /> <br /> Some time after Trypticon's defeat, they were at least back on their feet, and appeared with Optimus Prime as he surveyed the Ark. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' Troy Baker (English), Gabriele Calindri (Italian)<br /> [[Image:WFCDS Jetfire.jpg|thumb|right|121px]]<br /> With an attack to obtain the Omega Key from Megatron imminent, Zeta Prime ordered Jetfire and Optimus to take the majority of their forces to protect a library while Zeta hid the Omega Key. However, the Decepticons only attacked faster and harder, and it was in this battle Zeta Prime eventually fell.<br /> <br /> Jetfire was among the few Autobots who stood to assist Omega Supreme in the total annihilation of the Decepticons in Iacon. However, Megatron arrived with his strike team, and after defeating Cliffjumper, chased Jetfire through the ravaged city. Jetfire finally decided enough was enough, and faced the Decepticons down. However, the former scientist failed, and could only watch as Megatron advanced and defeated Omega Supreme.<br /> <br /> Jetfire recovered and rejoined the Autobots. He was often their intel agent, and helped take back Iacon, and locate Zeta Prime. However, their leader died shortly after his rescue. Optimus was declared Optimus Prime, the new leader of the Autobots by the Autobot High Council. Jetfire helped his new leader reach Cybertron's core to save it from the Dark Energon. It was made clear that the recovering Core couldn't sustain the Autobot population, so a mass evacuation was ordered by Optimus. However, Trypticon Space Station began attacking the fleeing Autobot masses, and Jetfire followed Optimus to destroy it. On Cybertron's surface, the crashed station transformed into a monstrous city-sized Decepticon, Trypticon. Upon Trypticon's defeat, Jetfire stayed with Optimus on Cybertron to further battle Megatron. <br /> {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)}}<br /> <br /> ===Transformers: Cybertron Adventures===<br /> <br /> As the Autobots prepared to evacuate Cybertron, the Decepticons attempted to destroy their supply lines and bring down their transport ships. During one launch, Thundercracker and Skywarp commenced strafing and bombing of the Autobot position, so Optimus Prime dispatched Air Raid and Jetfire to hold off the Seekers. Unfortunately, the Decepticons managed to get Trypticon back on-line, and the orbital station started taking potshots at the Autobots from the sky. Jetfire and the Aerialbots took to the air, shooting up the energon relay stations that fed power to Trypticon. Jetfire infiltrated the orbital base on his strafing runs, sequentially cutting off all power to the ATG weapon systems, until Trypticon fell right out of the sky.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, once Trypticon Station fell to the planet's surface, it revealed itself as a massive Transformer, laying waste to Cybertron. As Optimus Prime coordinated the attack from the ground, Jetfire fought from the air until Trypticon finally went down, and the war continued for another day. {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron'' (360/PS3/PC)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Troy Baker]] (English)<br /> {{spoiler|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|September 21, 2012}}<br /> Jetfire was stationed in Autobot City, launch site of the Ark, during the Autobots' final days on Cybertron. When Megatron launched a brutal assault on the Ark, Jetfire was dismayed to learn that the attack came from the direction of [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]'s apparently abandoned post, and subsequently joined the main battle.<br /> <br /> When the Ark finally launched a few days later, Jetfire led the Aerialbots in the battle against the Nemesis. Jetfire was able to destroy several tow cables that the Decepticons were boarding the Ark with, and subsequently helped treat some of the wounded. When [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] went up against the titan combiner [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus]], Jetfire assisted him by leaving EMP grenades for him to lure Bruticus into, stunning the combiner. Jetfire and the Aerialbots then were able to defeat Bruticus with Jazz's help, before both the Ark and the Nemesis were flung into the space bridge portal to parts unknown. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> * Unlike his [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire counterpart]], Jetfire was always allied with the Autobots (specifically Zeta Prime), while [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] was his friend until he betrayed him for the Decepticons (specifically Megatron). In Generation 1, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] was always a Decepticon and Skyfire betrayed ''him''.<br /> * Despite being a [[Neutral]] before joining Optimus Prime's cause in War for Cybertron, Jetfire begins the game with his glowing details already in Autobot red as opposed to Neutral yellow.<br /> * Interestingly, Optimus decided that ''Silverbolt'' should lead the attack on Trypticon Station, despite the fact that Jetfire had worked there for a prolonged period of time and would have known exactly how to cripple the station's power. It's possible that Optimus ''didn't know'' about Jetfire's tenure at the station, but this is unlikely seeing as how he had always been allied to the Autobots. It is more likely that Jetfire was the &quot;Planetary&quot; Air Commander (as seen in Defend Iacon), and that Silverbolt was already &quot;Orbital&quot; Air Commander.<br /> * Also interesting is the fact that, while Jetfire underwent no physical changes for Fall of Cybertron, his face/helmet went from cartoon-accurate colors to primarily red with white for... seemingly no reason. Perhaps this represents minor upgrades in-universe?<br /> * Jetfire's model is usable in ''War for Cybertron'' multiplayer as the Air Defender-type chassis for [[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]]-class characters.

He was absent when [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] entered [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and stole the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], but accompanied Optimus with [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] as back-up during the rescue of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] from [[Kaon]]. They then moved to rid the [[Dark Energon]] from the [[core]] of Cybertron. While descending, Jetfire was tempted to try some Dark Energon, but Optimus told him if he did, Prime would have to kill him. <br /> <br /> Once at the core, Optimus removed the Chamber and was given the [[Matrix of Leadership]], as well as orders to evacuate the planet as it began repairing itself. Optimus launched Project Generation One, which [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] dubbed the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]''. Jetfire found the notion suicidal, but agreed to help and gave the Autobots time to complete the ''Ark'' by creating a diversion. [[Aerialbot (WFC)|Aerialbot]]s under his guidance gathered every space-worthy ship in the ruins of [[Six Lasers Over Cybertron]], while Jetfire picked the ''[[Eight Track (WFC)|Eight Track]]'' for himself to captain. <br /> <br /> After drawing out [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]], Jetfire evaded the Station's detection system by flying in and out of the Asteroid Belt. He slowly but surely bolted the ''Eight Track'' with an ingress tube on to an unguarded part of the Station, allowing the Autobots to enter and blow up the Dark Energon Facility. Jetfire managed to detach the ship in time before Trypticon crashed in the [[Mithril Sea|Mithric Sea]]. However, Trypticon survived and transformed, and Jetfire refused a place on the ''Ark'' to distract the monster with the flight-capable [[Wrecker]] [[Springer (WFC)|Springer]]. Megatron's elite entered Trypticon, who transformed into the ''Nemesis'' and flew after the ''Ark'', leaving Jetfire on Cybertron with the Wreckers, [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] and [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] to deal with [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]]'s forces. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (360/PS3/PC)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Troy Baker]] (English), [[Gabriele Calindri]] (Italian)<br /> When Megatron attacked Starscream's station, Jetfire confronted him during a lull in the fighting, noting he did not want to fight and that Dark Energon was too dangerous to use, Jetfire himself having seen what it can do. When Megatron declared his intent to take it anyway, Jetfire proclaimed that the Decepticon would destroy them all. Megatron mused, as Jetfire flew away, &quot;You say that as if it were a bad thing.&quot;<br /> <br /> Later, when Megatron had attained Dark Energon and demonstrated his control over it, Starscream offered to serve him and make more. Jetfire was aghast, and quickly escaped the station. Megatron decided to let him go, as he wanted the Autobots to feel dread at his approach.<br /> <br /> During Megatron's siege of Iacon, Jetfire and the other Aerialbots were outnumbered and lacked surface-to-air support, causing significant losses. When Optimus took command, Jetfire specifically requested that the planetary guns be reactivated, which Optimus and his team promptly achieved. With that taken care of, he proceeded to feed tactical data and warnings whenever the still-overmatched Aerialbots could not stop all the incoming Decepticon Seekers, as well as recommendations on key targets of opportunity, including at least one Decepticon warship.<br /> <br /> After Optimus assumed the mantle of Prime and kickstarted the Core of Cybertron's self-purging, he declared that the Autobots would have to leave their homeworld, as it would be rendered uninhabitable. However, as the transports began to leave, a powerful orbital weapon, part of Trypticon station, blasted apart every ship it could target. Prime sent Silverbolt, Air Raid, and Jetfire to take it out. Jetfire provided key knowledge during the assault, including weak points of machinery and barriers, as well as their main target of the plasma cooling system that prevented the orbital weapon from overloading. He made sure the Aerialbots stayed until the mechanism was destroyed (when the system reached 110% capacity and Air Raid was surprised it &quot;went that high&quot;, Jetfire pointed out it didn't, and that was the point).<br /> <br /> Megatron noted with some amusement that the Aerialbots apparently hadn't considered the possibility of backup systems, and ordered &quot;Trypticon&quot; to resume firing. He also entered Optimus Prime's coordinates and told it to bear on him. When Trypticon responded, Jetfire realized that the station, or at least the primary weapon, was a Cybertronian...shortly after which the team realized that they should be able to destroy its transformation systems and force it back into its normal form, which, whatever it was, had to be better than a killsat.<br /> <br /> They found to their shock that this placed them inside Trypticon's mouth, and just barely managed to escape through the gaps between its teeth before it closed its jaws on them; it then headed for the surface, a massive jet pack controlling its descent. The Aerialbots managed to blast the pack apart, causing it to fall to Cybertron's surface like a meteor.<br /> <br /> As Optimus, Bumblebee, and Ironhide battled the brute, which had survived the assault, the Aerialbots managed to find them and set about providing air support. However, Trypticon was much faster than they expected, taking out all three—not quite killing them, but putting them out of the fight.<br /> <br /> Some time after Trypticon's defeat, they were at least back on their feet, and appeared with Optimus Prime as he surveyed the Ark. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' Troy Baker (English), Gabriele Calindri (Italian)<br /> [[Image:WFCDS Jetfire.jpg|thumb|right|121px]]<br /> With an attack to obtain the Omega Key from Megatron imminent, Zeta Prime ordered Jetfire and Optimus to take the majority of their forces to protect a library while Zeta hid the Omega Key. However, the Decepticons only attacked faster and harder, and it was in this battle Zeta Prime eventually fell.<br /> <br /> Jetfire was among the few Autobots who stood to assist Omega Supreme in the total annihilation of the Decepticons in Iacon. However, Megatron arrived with his strike team, and after defeating Cliffjumper, chased Jetfire through the ravaged city. Jetfire finally decided enough was enough, and faced the Decepticons down. However, the former scientist failed, and could only watch as Megatron advanced and defeated Omega Supreme.<br /> <br /> Jetfire recovered and rejoined the Autobots. He was often their intel agent, and helped take back Iacon, and locate Zeta Prime. However, their leader died shortly after his rescue. Optimus was declared Optimus Prime, the new leader of the Autobots by the Autobot High Council. Jetfire helped his new leader reach Cybertron's core to save it from the Dark Energon. It was made clear that the recovering Core couldn't sustain the Autobot population, so a mass evacuation was ordered by Optimus. However, Trypticon Space Station began attacking the fleeing Autobot masses, and Jetfire followed Optimus to destroy it. On Cybertron's surface, the crashed station transformed into a monstrous city-sized Decepticon, Trypticon. Upon Trypticon's defeat, Jetfire stayed with Optimus on Cybertron to further battle Megatron. <br /> {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)}}<br /> <br /> ===Transformers: Cybertron Adventures===<br /> <br /> As the Autobots prepared to evacuate Cybertron, the Decepticons attempted to destroy their supply lines and bring down their transport ships. During one launch, Thundercracker and Skywarp commenced strafing and bombing of the Autobot position, so Optimus Prime dispatched Air Raid and Jetfire to hold off the Seekers. Unfortunately, the Decepticons managed to get Trypticon back on-line, and the orbital station started taking potshots at the Autobots from the sky. Jetfire and the Aerialbots took to the air, shooting up the energon relay stations that fed power to Trypticon. Jetfire infiltrated the orbital base on his strafing runs, sequentially cutting off all power to the ATG weapon systems, until Trypticon fell right out of the sky.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, once Trypticon Station fell to the planet's surface, it revealed itself as a massive Transformer, laying waste to Cybertron. As Optimus Prime coordinated the attack from the ground, Jetfire fought from the air until Trypticon finally went down, and the war continued for another day. {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron'' (360/PS3/PC)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Troy Baker]] (English)<br /> {{spoiler|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|September 21, 2012}}<br /> Jetfire was stationed in Autobot City, launch site of the Ark, during the Autobots' final days on Cybertron. When Megatron launched a brutal assault on the Ark, Jetfire was dismayed to learn that the attack came from the direction of [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]'s apparently abandoned post, and subsequently joined the main battle.<br /> <br /> When the Ark finally launched a few days later, Jetfire led the Aerialbots in the battle against the Nemesis. Jetfire was able to destroy several tow cables that the Decepticons were boarding the Ark with, and subsequently helped treat some of the wounded. When [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] went up against the titan combiner [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus]], Jetfire assisted him by leaving EMP grenades for him to lure Bruticus into, stunning the combiner. Jetfire and the Aerialbots then were able to defeat Bruticus with Jazz's help, before both the Ark and the Nemesis were flung into the space bridge portal to parts unknown. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> * Unlike his [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire counterpart]], Jetfire always sided with the Autobots and [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] was his friend until he betrayed Jetfire. In G1, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] was always a Decepticon and Skyfire betrayed him.<br /> * Despite being a [[Neutral]] before joining Optimus Prime's cause in War for Cybertron, Jetfire begins the game with his glowing details already in Autobot red as opposed to Neutral yellow.<br /> * Interestingly, Optimus decided that ''Silverbolt'' should lead the attack on Trypticon Station, despite the fact that Jetfire had worked there for a prolonged period of time and would have known exactly how to cripple the station's power. It's possible that Optimus ''didn't know'' about Jetfire's tenure at the station, but this is unlikely seeing as how he had always been allied to the Autobots. It is more likely that Jetfire was the &quot;Planetary&quot; Air Commander (as seen in Defend Iacon), and that Silverbolt was already &quot;Orbital&quot; Air Commander.<br /> * Also interesting is the fact that, while Jetfire underwent no physical changes for Fall of Cybertron, his face/helmet went from cartoon-accurate colors to primarily red with white for... seemingly no reason. Perhaps this represents minor upgrades in-universe?<br /> * Jetfire's model is usable in ''War for Cybertron'' multiplayer as the Air Defender-type chassis for [[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]]-class characters.

It was developed by [[High Moon Studios]] and published by [[Activision Blizzard|Activision]], and it is set in the [[Aligned continuity family]] in the ancient days of the [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]ian war. The game is an over-the-shoulder third-person shooter in which the player can choose his or her character from a small roster of either [[Autobot]]s or [[Decepticon]]s. It was released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at Sears stores on [[June 17]], [[2010]]. On [[June 22]], those and the PC version were released to the broader market.<br /> <br /> Companion games, [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|two for the Nintendo DS]] and [[Transformers: Cybertron Adventures|one for the Wii]], were developed by [[Vicarious Visions]] and [[Next Level Games]], respectively.<br /> <br /> {{quote|One shall stand.|Optimus}}<br /> :{{quote|One shall fall.|Megatron}}<br /> <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> [[Image:WarforCybertron-OptimusPrime.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Prime auditions for Unreal Tournament. There were no survivors.]]<br /> Unlike previous ''Transformers'' video games which feature distinctly separate campaigns for the Autobots and the Decepticons (traditionally depicting the playable faction utterly defeating the other), ''War for Cybertron'' features a single, linear storyline; the Decepticon campaign occurs chronologically before the Autobot campaign, but [[Fandom|fans]] can play through them in whichever order they prefer.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/seibertron-qa-with-activision-makers-of-war-for-cybertron/17548/ Seibertron Q&amp;A with Activision]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> {{note|The novel ''[[Transformers: Exodus]]'' was, naturally, promoted as being in the same [[continuity]] as the game. In practice, however, the two stories differ substantially on many details. The first fifteen chapters of ''Exodus'' chronicle the backstory of the war, with an interlude by Alpha Trion placed between them and the remaining of the thirty-nine chapters. Events akin to the ''War for Cybertron'' campaigns do take place in the second portion of the novel, but the settings, details, and involved parties change in each case. Below, in italics, are brief descriptions of the parallel events that take place in ''Exodus''.}}<br /> <br /> ===Decepticon Campaign===<br /> '''Chapter I: Dark Energon'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]], [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]], [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]<br /> *Boss: [[Autobot Swarm]]<br /> <br /> It is the waning days of the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] before the Transformers come to Earth. [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]], genuinely believing a caste system will bring Cybertron back to its [[Golden Age]], is researching a dangerous power source known as [[Dark Energon]] to fuel his conquest of the planet. Megatron discovers that the factory that produces Dark Energon is guarded by a neutral army led by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], and he leads an attack on the station. After his ship crashes into the hull of the station, Megatron, [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]] and [[Barricade (Prime)|Barricade]] defeat Starscream's army and harness the power of the Dark Energon. Cornered, Starscream tells Megatron that he's the only one who knows how to make more of the energon and that he will help the Decepticon leader if Megatron takes him into his army. Megatron reluctantly agrees to this. Doing this also causes Jetfire to lose trust in Starscream and warn Zeta Prime of their ambitions. <br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 18-19, Megatron laid claim to Trypticon Station and the Dark Energon contained within. By this point in the war, however, Starscream was already a full member of the Decepticon army. The Dark Energon was his trump card in case he ever chose to betray Megatron to the Autobots. The taking of Trypticon Station happened largely behind the scenes in the novel, without Starscream actively defending it — Megatron took advantage of a rare absence of Starscream from the station to make it his own. He returned from an errand to find his loyal pack of Decepticons brutalized by Megatron's gladiators, and his power base usurped. ''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter II: Fuel of War'''<br /> *Characters available: Starscream, [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]]<br /> *Boss: [[Cybertron's Sentinel]]<br /> Megatron sends the [[seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] to reactivate the ancient [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge|Energon Bridge]] that will produce new Dark Energon. After encountering Autobot [[security probe]]s, strange jelly-fish-like life forms, and fighting legions of Autobot defenders, they succeed. They then start the assault on Iacon.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 22, Starscream and his Seekers reactivate the Geosynchronous Energon Bridge to help Megatron conduct Energon from Cybertron's core to Trypticon Station. The events are basically the same as the game.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter III: [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] Destroyed'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]]<br /> *Boss: [[Sentinel Zeta Prime‎|Zeta Prime]]<br /> With his new powers, Megatron takes the fight straight to the Autobot's capital city. While Starscream and Brawl lead the main attack on the city, Megatron takes Soundwave and Breakdown on a flanking attack to recover the Omega Key, which will allow him to access the core of the planet. Arriving at the key's holding place, the Decepticons learn that the Autobot leader Zeta Prime has taken it to keep it safe. The team regroup with Brawl and Starscream, and use Dark Energon bombers to eliminate the remaining Autobots before storming the building in which Zeta Prime is waiting. Megatron defeats the Autobot leader, stealing the Omega Key and punching a hole in his chest. Zeta reveals that the key Megatron has just stolen only activates the ''real'' Omega Key, and that soon '''it''' will find '''him'''. Suddenly [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|a huge ship awakens and takes off.]]This is the autobots last line of defense.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 24-27, Megatron led a group of Decepticons to capture the Code Key of Justice while Starscream acquired the Code Key of Power. Together, the two could access the Plasma Energy Chamber. He was confronted with Sentinel Prime at the end, but only because the Prime had been Starscream's prisoner up until that point, and the Seeker commander had released Sentinel to delay Megatron. After defeating Sentinel Prime in personal combat (no holographic death rooms), Megatron found the Key inside Sentinel's body. At that moment, Teletraan-1 reactivated Omega Supreme to protect the Plasma Energy Chamber from Megatron, at Starscream's secret behest.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter IV: Death of Hope'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, Soundwave, Breakdown<br /> *Boss: Omega Supreme (Vehicle mode)<br /> An unknown amount of time later, Megatron is commanding his ship in search of the &quot;Omega Key&quot;. The ship is suddenly attacked by Omega Supreme, who shoots them out of the sky, causing them to crash-land in Iacon. Megatron, Soundwave and Breakdown began a desperate retreat from Omega Supreme's attack and take cover in a large tower. Once inside, the group hear Starscream announce that Megatron is dead and that he is taking command of the Decepticons (surprise!). Enraged but unable to make any outside contact, Megatron leads his forces through the city, dodging attacks from Omega Supreme while searching for a way to fight him. Soundwave discovers that they can use some of the Autobot's anti-air and anti-infantry turrets on a tower roof against the massive Autobot. Along the way, the group makes contact with Starscream and corrects his mistake, using him to distract Omega Supreme. Once they reached the turrets, the group manages to shoot down Omega Supreme, causing him to crash to the ground below. This is when Megatron and the others make the final assault on him. To unlock cybertron's core.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapters 27-28, Omega did nothing to pursue Megatron. Instead, he attempted to depart Cybertron altogether to keep the Plasma Energy Chamber inside him away from the Decepticons. Starscream and the Seekers shot down Omega in a brief aerial skirmish.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter V: The Final Guardian'''<br /> *Characters available: Megatron, Soundwave, Breakdown<br /> *Boss: Omega Supreme (Robot mode)<br /> The Decepticons descend into the impact crater to loot Omega's remains, but he transforms into robot mode, unleashing his full barrage on the squad. Megatron manages to corrupt Omega with Dark Energon, using him to reach and corrupt the core of Cybertron with Dark Energon. The planet itself is now under control of the decepticons. Or is it?<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 29, Omega did not fight alone — Optimus Prime and his top aides were present fighting alongside Omega Supreme at his crash site, until Megatron brought the Guardian low and ripped the Plasma Energy Chamber from within him. Because that was all he needed from Omega, the Guardian was not captured in Exodus, but left badly wounded for the Autobots to retrieve and repair.''<br /> <br /> ===Autobot Campaign===<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VI: Defend Iacon'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]], [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]]<br /> *Boss: Starscream<br /> In a decimated Iacon, the young Autobot messenger Bumblebee is sent to tell the soldier Optimus that Zeta Prime is dead. Optimus decides to take temporary control of the Autobots, adopting Bumblebee into his team. The two of them and Ratchet kick off a counterattack to push out Decepticon forces. They manage to reactivate the planetary guns, clearing the skies over Iacon, and proceed to aid [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] in reclaiming the Decagon, tangling with Starscream along the way. Entering the Decagon, Optimus receives a message from Zeta Prime, revealing that he is not yet dead but is being held in a prison in [[Kaon]]. Optimus gathers up a bunch of Autobots to rescue their fallen comrade.<br /> <br /> ''A direct conflict with Starscream like this did not take place at this point in the novel. Iacon was the last bastion of Autobot resistance for most of the novel, and did not need to be reclaimed. Furthermore, Sentinel Prime had been captured since the beginning of the war, so Optimus Prime had already accepted his role as leader.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VII: Kaon Prison Break'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]], Bumblebee<br /> *Boss: Soundwave<br /> Optimus allows his team to be captured by the Decepticons and enter the prison. The three are just barely saved from a firing squad by [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]], but as they escape into the tunnels below, Air Raid is captured. The three Autobots sneak through the prison, rescuing Air Raid and releasing all the Autobot prisoners (including [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]]). Using the chaos as a distraction, the trio sneak to the high security bunker Zeta Prime is being held. When the Autobots try to save them, Soundwave attacks, sending out [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]], and [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]]. The Autobots defeat them, but Soundwave manages to retreat. When Optimus tries to rescue Zeta, the Prime tells him that he is already dead and collapses. Optimus returns the body to the [[Autobot High Council]], who tell Optimus that he must accept that he is a Prime and take up his role as leader. Thus, he becomes Optimus Prime. He then travels to the core to stop it's corruption of dark energon.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 32, Optimus Prime, Jazz and Prowl stormed Kaon to recover a dying Sentinel Prime. It did not involve being deliberately captured or a battle with Soundwave.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VIII: To the Core'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]], [[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]]<br /> *Boss: Corrupted Space Slug<br /> Optimus' first task as Prime is to cure the currently infected core. Heading to the entrance, where Omega Supreme is being held by the Decepticons, the three Autobots manage to free Omega, then call in Ratchet to repair him enough to open the Omega Gate. Thanks to the help of some [[space slug]]s, Prime, Warpath, and Ironhide defeat a corrupted space slug and reach the [[Primus|core]]. However, the core tells Optimus that, in order to repair itself, it will have to shut down for millions of years, forcing Optimus and the Autobots to evacuate Cybertron. Before the core shuts down, it gives Optimus the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. A vessel of pure energy and the collective wisdom of the primes.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 33-34, Optimus Prime, Jetfire and Bumblebee traveled down to the Core, disconnected the corrupted Plasma Energy Chamber, and Optimus received the Matrix of Leadership. It was a largely uneventful trek, as Megatron staged no troops around the Core and trusted the sheer intensity of the Dark Energon in that region to ward off any Autobots. Also, no space slugs.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter IX: Aerial Assault'''<br /> *Characters available: [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]], [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]], [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]]<br /> *Boss: [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] <br /> Returning to Iacon, Optimus Prime orders the launching of a full-scale evacuation of Cybertron's surface. However, as the transports leave the atmosphere, Megatron begins shooting them down with his &lt;s&gt;giant purple griffin&lt;/s&gt; massive orbital space station. Optimus relizes the need to shut down the station, and sends a group of fliers to shut it down from the inside out. The team manages to blow up the power core, but Megatron taunts them as he activates a back-up generator. Then the station itself begins to mock them. Realizing the station is a Cybertronian, the team flies to find its conversion cog to force it into its robot mode before it can finish leveling Iacon, and Optimus with it. Succeeding, the Autobots race out of the quickly transforming space station as it reveals itself to be Trypticon. The Autobots shoot out the massive Decepticon's jetpack, causing it to hurtle towards the surface of the planet. Meanwhile Optimus and the others decide to finish off the bot themselves down there.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 36-37, Trypticon Station began firing on the Autobot fleet as it fled Cybertron. Optimus Prime and a crew aboard the ''Eight Track'' commandoed their way into Trypticon and blasted apart the station from within. The novel made a point of (mostly) treating Jetfire as the only Autobot Seeker, and so there were no Air Raid and Silverbolt to act as his wingmen for a flying assault. Also, Trypticon did not transform in freefall.''<br /> <br /> '''Chapter X: One Shall Stand...'''<br /> *Characters available: Optimus, Bumblebee, Ironhide<br /> *Boss: Trypticon<br /> All seems quiet as Optimus and others search the wreckage, but soon a very much alive and enraged Trypticon emerges to wage a long and difficult battle with the Autobots. After targeting key weaknesses, Optimus uses his axe to knock Trypticon off-balance, sending it plummeting into the liquid below. As the other transports escape the planet's dying surface Optimus shows his team their new ship - an [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]] that will allow them to take a piece of Cybertron with them, [[Earth|wherever their adventures may take them...]] So begins the end of cybertron and the departure of the transformers.<br /> <br /> ''In Exodus Chapter 38, Trypticon Station transformed after making planetfall. Optimus Prime and the core Autobots left Cybertron aboard the Ark, avoiding conflict with it. Instead, the Wreckers led by Ultra Magnus remained behind to confront the creature and cover the other Autobots' escape. Soul-crushingly, the battle between the Wreckers and Trypticon was not depicted and, instead of being destroyed, Trypticon transformed into the Nemesis to pursue the Ark through space.''<br /> <br /> ==Characters==<br /> At the start of each level, the player can choose from one of three characters. <br /> <br /> ==Featured Characters==<br /> {{featuredcharacters<br /> |h1=[[Autobot]]s|c1=<br /> *[[Optimus Prime (Prime)#War for Cybertron|Optimus Prime]] ([[Peter Cullen]]) <br /> *[[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] ([[Johnny Yong Bosch]])<br /> *[[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] ([[Fred Tatasciore]])<br /> *[[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] ([[Keith Szarabajka]])<br /> *[[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] ([[Travis Willingham]])<br /> *[[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] ([[Troy Baker]])<br /> *[[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]] ([[Patrick Seitz]])<br /> *[[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] ([[Kari Wahlgren]])<br /> *[[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] ([[Liam O'Brien]])<br /> *[[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]] ([[Jamieson Price]])<br /> *[[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] (downloadable content character)<br /> *[[Scattershot (WFC)|Scattershot]] (downloadable content character)<br /> *[[Sentinel Zeta Prime‎|Zeta Prime]] ([[Troy Baker]]) (downloadable content character)<br /> |h2=[[Decepticon]]s|c2=<br /> *[[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] (Fred Tatasciore)<br /> *[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] ([[Sam Riegel]]) <br /> *[[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] ([[Isaac C.

If other players are participating, a tally of each participant's kills is kept.<br /> <br /> ===Escalation===<br /> This cooperative mode puts several friends together against an unending horde of enemies. With each horde vanquished, tougher ones come in. The players can get points from killing enemies, and these points can be used to get new weapons, ammo, health, and to access new areas. Characters in Escalation mode are the same as those selected in Campaign (as well as bonus and DLC characters); custom multiplayer 'bots are not available here.<br /> <br /> ===Multiplayer===<br /> This broad option is where you will be spending most of your hours after you beat Trypticon. Here, players can create their own Cybertronian combatant and pit them against the multitude of online [[Fandom|transfans]] and 12-year-olds that will more than likely slaughter you. Custom characters can be leveled up by killing dudes in matches, with specific bonuses being given for specific actions. As they level up, more abilities become available.<br /> <br /> ;Characters<br /> Characters are created from four different bases, each of which feature different weapons, abilities and alternate forms. They are:<br /> *[[Scout (WFC)|Scout]] - Cars. Fast, usually cloakers. <br /> *[[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]] - Jets. Also fast, usually medics and buffers.<br /> *[[Leader (WFC)|Leader]] - Trucks. Balanced, with emphasis on defense and ally-aid.<br /> *[[Soldier (WFC)|Soldier]] - Tanks. Slow and powerful, with offensive abilities.<br /> <br /> Initially, players are only able to create one of each class, but as they level up, more slots open for a maximum of three of each class. Names can be chosen for each, but don't get too excited about making the [[Fanon|Transformer you always dreamed of]]: bodies are limited to about three options per faction and look exactly like characters from single-player (for example, the Autobot Scout category lets you choose from Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Jazz or Arcee). And while you can pick your color scheme, the palettes are rather limited, especially for Decepticons. Downloading or unlocking additional characters will also make their chassis available for customizing.<br /> <br /> ;Playlists<br /> Choosing a playlist will automatically send you into a lobby, where the service will do its best to form balanced teams (I.E., you hopefully won't see a team of level 25 leaders fighting one level zero Scout). The service will also select a random [[Map (WFC)|stage]], which players can veto. Finally, when the game begins, combatants select their character. If your scientist gets butchered too many times, you can pick a different character at any time during the match, and you will switch to it upon dying. Players also cannot pick a faction; the game does it automatically. Weapons can only be picked up from defeated enemies; ammo caches, [[overshield]]s and energon are scattered throughout the stages.<br /> <br /> Playlists include:<br /> *'''Team deathmatch''': Kill 40 opponents to win. Games can range from four to sixteen players.<br /> *'''Deathmatch''': Kill 20 opponents to win. It's a free-for-all.<br /> *'''Conquest''': Capture and defend several &quot;power nodes&quot; until your team gets 400 points. <br /> *'''Code of power''': Capture the flag. Team with highest score after two rounds wins.<br /> *'''Countdown to extinction''': Plant the bomb in the enemy's base three times to win.<br /> *'''Power struggle''': Control the active power node until you get 400 points.<br /> <br /> Players can also set up private matches, where the game options and maps can be adjusted as you see fit, but they are invite-only. Hopefully, you've got a lot of online friends!<br /> <br /> ==Production==<br /> As an early marketing campaign, the game's website included the feature &quot;Operation Transmission Recovery&quot;: using transmission and coordinate dials, you could pick up &quot;transmissions&quot; from Cybertron (or &quot;video clips&quot; to you and me). <br /> <br /> The art and design team did intense research (i.e. watched the original cartoon, looked at comics, and watched &quot;typical sci-fi cool stuff&quot; like ''Blade Runner'') to work out the aesthetic of Cybertron; lead artist [[Ivan Power]] remarked that the original cartoon was the main inspiration, and that Cybertron wasn't shown there so they had to rewatch the same few clips &quot;over and over&quot;. While many of the city designs are elaborate and shiny, Decepticon [[Kaon]] was deliberately designed to be sharp-edged, rusting, and slapped together to show the Decepticons weren't interested in building a functioning society.&lt;ref&gt;[http://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2009/12/21/transformers-art-video.aspx Game Informer: Behind the Art of War for Cybertron]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Tyler Bates]] composed the score.<br /> <br /> ==Trophy/Achievement list==<br /> When completing various goals and tasks during the campaigns and in online multi-player, the player can earn Trophies on PlayStation 3 and Achievements on the Xbox 360. There are 4 kinds of Trophies: Platinum is the highest, and is only unlocked after earning all the other trophies. It is followed by Gold, which include harder tasks and worth more experience. Then Silver, with less experience than Gold, and finally Bronze which represent easier tasks and worth the least experience. On the Xbox, each achievement has a Gamerscore (G) that adds to the player's total gamerscore, which is essentially the Xbox Live version of &quot;Street Cred&quot;.<br /> <br /> {| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5<br /> | '''Achievement/Trophy name'''<br /> | '''Achievement/Trophy description'''<br /> | '''Gamerscore'''<br /> | '''PS Trophy'''<br /> |- <br /> | [[A Prime Problem]]<br /> | Complete &quot;Defend Iacon&quot;

The demo is multiplayer only, and only two of the four classes, Soldier and Scout, are playable. Only one &quot;Create a Character&quot; slot is open for each class, but customization for chassis is not available. Players can only level up to Level 3 in each class. The only map available is &quot;Molten&quot;, and the two gametypes available are Team Deathmatch and Conquest.<br /> <br /> ==Reception==<br /> The game has received many positive reviews from critics and fans alike. IGN has given the score 9/10 because of its &quot;Great Presentation&quot;, &quot;Fun Multiplayer&quot;, &quot;Classy Fan Service&quot;, but subtracted from its score due to the &quot;Repetitive Visuals&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[http://ps3.ign.com/articles/110/1101052p1.html IGN's review of ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' on the PS3, page 1]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://ps3.ign.com/articles/110/1101052p2.html IGN's review of ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' on the PS3, page 2]&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;i&gt;GameRankings&lt;/i&gt; sums up the average score of numerous reviews with 79 points&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.gamerankings.com/ps3/981364-transformers-war-for-cybertron/index.html GameRankings' archive of reviews for PS3 version of ''War for Cybertron'']&lt;/ref&gt;, Metacritic averages 77 points&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/transformerswarforcybertron Reviews for the PS3 version of ''War for Cybertron'' at Metacritic]&lt;/ref&gt;, and other scores include 85 from &lt;i&gt;GameInformer&lt;/i&gt; &lt;ref&gt;[http://gameinformer.com/games/transformers_war_for_cybertron/b/ps3/archive/2010/06/22/review.aspx High Moon has the touch, from GameInformer]&lt;/ref&gt;, B+ from 1UP.com&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3180025&amp;p=37&amp;sec=REVIEWS 1up.com's review of ''War for Cybertron'' on PS3]&lt;/ref&gt;, and 4 out of 5 stars from &lt;i&gt;GamePro&lt;/i&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/215618/transformers-war-for-cybertron/ Gamepro's review of ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' on PS3]&lt;/ref&gt;.

<p>Ronynus Prime: </p> <hr /> <div>{{faction|decepticon|hofsilver}}<br /> {{disambig3|Soundwave}}<br /> :''Soundwave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''<br /> [[Image:Soundwave Prime.jpg|thumb|300px||Despite appearances, that is not a [[mouthplate]].]]<br /> '''Soundwave''' is the spy master of the Decepticons. One of [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s earliest followers, and, many believe, instrumental to his rise, he uses his tentacles and a veritable army of [[Mini-Con|Minicon]] [[Deployer (Prime)|Deployer]]s to learn everything there is to know about his allies and his enemies. He was never very chatty, but these days, on Earth, he's become near silent, communicating by playing back recordings of other people's conversations. He just sneaks about, patiently looking for Autobot transmissions and creeping [[Starscream (Prime)|you]] out. Since the incapacitation of Megatron, Soundwave acts as a restraint on [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], reining in his rather volatile emotions, and ensuring that Starscream's less than subtle ambitions are held in check. <br /> <br /> Soundwave has the ability to receive transmissions from anywhere on the planet, bar the shielded Autobot Base. This allows him to spy on every being on the planet in the hopes of picking up Autobot-related communications.<br /> <br /> {{quote|Watch out for the quiet ones.|[[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]]|&quot;[[One Shall Rise, Part 3]]&quot;}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Aligned novels===<br /> Soundwave was a gladiator from [[Kaon]] who almost bested [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] in combat, an act that created mutual respect between the two. Soundwave saw in Megatron a desire to return to the swashbuckling spirit of the [[Golden Age]] of Cybertron, when Cybertronians emerged from the [[Well of All Sparks]] having to escape from the [[Underworld]]'s monsters rather than being put into a [[caste system|caste]]. He was appointed Megatron's lieutenant with [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]]. Though Megatron despised Minicons, Soundwave insisted on having them around to spy on their gladiators, including the time when Megatron's librarian friend [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]] came to visit. He was suspicious of Orion and even asked permission from Megatron to tail him as he returned to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]].<br /> <br /> After [[Decepticon]]s bombed Cybertron in Megatron's name, Soundwave sent [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]] to search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in [[Crystal City]] (a place which design he always found self indulgent). Soundwave was not sure whether he should have bothered, as he was not superstitious and wondered what use a piece of a [[Star Saber (Prima)|broken sword]] could be. Instead he got chilling indications Crystal City's scientists were planning to revive [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]]. <br /> <br /> [[Image:WFCcomicDecepticons.jpg|thumb|250px|&quot;Yeah, this look is cool now, but I don't think I'll have it ''forever'': I mean, who'd like to [[GEEWUN|see things looking the same for over twenty five years]], right guys? ...guys?&quot;]]<br /> <br /> Soundwave attended Orion and Megatron's hearing before the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. During this meeting, Soundwave helped to sow discord and tension by loudly shouting his complaints over security breaches that, in truth, he himself had caused. The Council noted that they were aware someone had tried to find the Matrix, and they appointed Orion [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] and requested he find it. This tore Orion and Megatron's movement in two.<br /> <br /> During the final days of the war, Soundwave and his minions' research changed the fate of Cybertron. It was they who found the areas of the [[DataNet]] that [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] had overlooked and not deleted, revealing the existence of [[Dark Energon]] on [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] Station. It was he who remembered the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] below Crystal City that allowed for the mass transportation of Dark Energon between Cybertron and Trypticon. And it was the evidence he got from Rumble and Frenzy when they infiltrated Crystal City that revealed the existence of the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] and its two [[Code Key]]s, which enabled Megatron to poison the [[Core]] of Cybertron.<br /> <br /> When Optimus removed the Chamber from the Core, beginning the planet's slow healing process, Soundwave boarded the ''Nemesis'' with Megatron, [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] and [[Lugnut (WFC)|Lugnut]] to pursue the Autobot ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' into the unknown reaches of space. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}<br /> <br /> Soundwave regained consciousness onboard the ''Nemesis'' after emerging from the energy field created by the Space Bridge explosion over Cybertron. While Megatron demanded a status report, Soundwave was already deep at work in a console attempting to determine the answer. Along with Starscream and Megatron, Soundwave examined the tracking reports and confirmed Starscream's assumption that the ''Ark'' was likely not too far away. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}<br /> <br /> ===''Prime'' cartoon===<br /> When a gladiator calling himself Megatronus vowed to challenge Cybertron's leadership, Soundwave was his first follower and chief amongst them. Soundwave remained at Megatronus' side, now Megatron, as the conflict escalated into a war. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}} Following the [[Great Exodus]], when the Decepticons were trying to decrypt an encoded Autobot transmission, Soundwave suggested they should let [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] have a shot at interrogating [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]]. {{storylink|Out of the Past}}<br /> <br /> The Decepticons later arrived on [[Earth]]. During a Decepticon attack on Cliffjumper, Soundwave intercepted Arcee's comms talk. He later played it back to Starscream, prompting the Decepticon leader to send the drones after her. He later detected transmissions coming from deep space, that prompted the Decepticons to fire up the [[space bridge]], allowing Megatron to return. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} <br /> <br /> [[Image:DarknessRising5-Soundwaveturn.jpg|right|thumb|200px|He's not shuttershy. He's also not Fluttershy.]]<br /> Shortly after Megatron left the ship on a mission, Starscream wondered aloud if Megatron had a touch of space madness, and Soundwave reminded him that their absent leader was still in charge. Starscream told him to step up global surveillance. Soundwave subsequently intercepted a transmission from [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] and, on Starscream's order, dispatched [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] to capture the agent to learn the location of the [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Autobot base]]. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}} When the Autobots attacked the ''Nemesis'' to retrieve Fowler, slaughtering dozens of their soldiers, Soundwave hid. He simply watched when Megatron returned and took his fury out on Starscream on the bridge for not waiting on his command. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}<br /> <br /> Starscream sent Soundwave to the [[Giant Sized Array]] radio telescope in [[Texas]] as they needed to use the array to target the space bridge at [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Soundwave hacked into the computer network at the site, but after he had lined up the dishes, someone realigned them. In response to Starscream's demands as to what was happening, he tapped into the base's security system and discovered that the Autobots' three human friends were in a nearby room, similarly accessing the computer. He extended a tentacle into the room they were in and attacked them. When [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] tried to chop the tentacle with an ax, Soundwave took it from her and used it to sever the computer system's hardline, locking the dishes on Cybertron. The three kids entered the room in time to see him leaving, and Miko and Soundwave snapped photos of each other. <br /> <br /> [[Image:MastersStudents-Soundwavesradar.jpg|thumb|left|200px|See how much more convincing I am as a [[:Image:Cybertronsoundwave.jpg|communications tower]] with this look?]]<br /> <br /> Because of Soundwave's success, the Autobots resorted to sabotaging the space bridge, blowing it up and taking Megatron with it. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}} At Starscream's order, Soundwave activated the comm system so Starscream could give a speech to the troops, declaring himself leader. Failing to impress the Vehicons, Starscream pressed Soundwave's sensors into locating [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]], a Decepticon secreted in a pod in the desert. Starscream and Soundwave reactivated Skyquake, only to find he wasn't receptive to Starscream's leadership, and instead set about fighting [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]]. Soundwave detected a Decepticon signal from the site where the space bridge exploded, and when Starscream went to investigate, Soundwave sent Laserbeak to keep Starscream honest while he himself filmed the battle between Skyquake and Optimus and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]]. Though the fight ended detrimental to the Decepticon cause, Soundwave was able to ensure that Starscream returned Megatron's barely-functioning body to the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Masters &amp; Students}}<br /> <br /> Soundwave intercepted a transmission from [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] who was heading for Earth. At Starscream's order, he downloaded the necessary information to [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]], who took on Wheeljack's form and infiltrated the Autobot base. As Starscream and Soundwave paid a visit to the captive Wheeljack, Soundwave prevented his leader from terminating their prisoner, as he might be of use later. The two 'Cons retired to the ship's top deck to wait for Makeshift to activate the [[GroundBridge]], however Wheeljack broke free and started trashing the Vehicons. When Wheeljack escaped through the ground bridge and sent back Makeshift with his grenade activated, Soundwave and Starscream made sure to get well clear before he exploded. {{storylink|Con Job}} During another Autobot operation, Soundwave listened in on their comms chatter, prompting Starscream to send some Vehicons to attack. {{storylink|Convoy (episode)|Convoy}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Deusex-Soundwavecrouching.jpg|thumb|250px|And that's why there's no [[Ratbat (WFC)|Ratbat]].]]<br /> <br /> When [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] mentioned seeing an [[Energon Harvester]] in a fresco in [[Greece]], Soundwave was able to track the device's location to a museum. Breakdown and [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] kept the Autobots busy in front of the museum while Soundwave sneaked in the back. He ran into Raf and Jack, who were already in the process of stealing the Harvester, and grabbed it from them before making a getaway in his vehicle mode. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:SickMind-Soundwaveobjects.jpg|thumb|250px|left|&quot;Let me see some tenderness connected with a death, or that dark chamber, Spirit, which we left just now, will be forever present to me.&quot;]]<br /> <br /> Starscream and Knock Out made a concerted attempt to convince Soundwave that Megatron was beyond saving, and that the only option left to them was euthanasia. Soundwave remained skeptical, and pointed out the patch cable that Arcee and Bumblebee was using to access Megatron's brain. Megatron's life support was damaged during the ensuing confusion, and though it seemed Starscream and Knock Out were content to leave Megatron flat-lining, Soundwave pressured them into reconnecting the cable sustaining their master. {{storylink|Sick Mind}}<br /> <br /> After Megatron's resurrection, Soundwave kept him informed regarding Starscream's activities, including his attempt to resurrect Skyquake with the Dark Energon shard ripped from Megatron's chest, and the loss of his arm. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}} Soundwave watched as Breakdown was captured by [[MECH]], and reported back to Starscream. He was on the bridge of the ''Nemesis'' when Starscream passed the news on to Megatron, who was less than impressed that Breakdown had been taken by a bunch of humans. {{storylink|Operation: Breakdown}} He detected the magnetic anomaly caused by the [[polarity gauntlet]], causing Megatron to send Breakdown to go look for it. {{storylink|Metal Attraction}}<br /> <br /> Megatron and Starscream headed to a stripped Energon Mine to discover mining drills still there. Starscream attempted to blame this on Soundwave. Megatron told Starscream that Soundwave had been filling him in on the second-in-command's activities. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}} Soundwave listened to Starscream's confessions after Megatron nearly terminated the second-in-command. {{storylink|Partners}}<br /> <br /> When the new Decepticon space bridge was nearing completion, Soundwave supplied a diagram of the last component they needed. After they obtained said component, Megatron left the ship on a mission of his own. [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] began searching the ship for the Decepticon leader and Megatron instructed Soundwave to send Prime to him. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:SoundwavePlayingSparkbeat..jpg‎|thumb|200px|He's playing Dubstep.]]<br /> <br /> Soundwave translated tremors coming from the Earth's core into sound, revealing it to be a heartbeat. Megatron did not appreciate this, as it was making his head hurt. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}<br /> <br /> After Megatron left the ship to talk to [[Unicron]], Soundwave monitored the comms channels for his master's return. When [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]] suggested considering a future without Megatron, Soundwave ominously looked at her. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Soundwavelayingdownthelaw.jpg‎|thumb|200px|left|YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!]]<br /> Soundwave continued to try to find some sign of Megatron. When Airachnid announced Megatron wasn't coming back and ordered the ship to [[Regulon Four]], Soundwave decided it was time to lay down the law. He defied Airachnid, who angrily attacked him, but the Decepticon spy master quickly proceeded to &lt;strike&gt;defeat&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;strike&gt;demolish&lt;/strike&gt; humiliate Airachnid. Upon Unicron's defeat, Soundwave detected Megatron's signal and activated the GroundBridge, bowing in respect with the other Decepticons as Megatron entered the bridge of the ship. He had to hold Breakdown back when they saw that Megatron was accompanied by Optimus Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}<br /> <br /> With Optimus amnesiac and believing himself to be archivist Orion Pax, Soundwave made sure the ship's [[data core]] was clear of any incriminating evidence so Orion could be put to work decrypting information they'd stolen from the Iacon archives. When Arcee managed to get on board the ship to look for the lost Autobot leader, Soundwave made deft use of the GroundBridge to get her back off before Orion could see her. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}} When Orion eventually learned the truth, Soundwave relayed the news to Megatron. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} He also notified Megatron when activity was detected on Cybertron, indicating that the Autobots had gone there in an attempt to help Optimus. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}<br /> <br /> When Megatron was angry after having had the [[spark extractor|latest find]] snatched from his hands, Soundwave reminded him there were still two more sets of coordinates to investigate. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} Soundwave was present when Megatron unsuccessfully tested the [[Forge of Solus Prime]]. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}} He played back footage of Skyquake's demise for [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]]. {{storylink|Loose Cannons}}<br /> <br /> Soundwave continued to try to decode more data from the Iacon archives, in a continuation of Orion Pax's work. When Airachnid requested Megatron's approval to take point in the hunt for the relics, Megatron requested that Soundwave remind him of her previous words when she planned to abandon him. Later, after Dreadwing and Breakdown's failiure to execute her, Soundwave began tracing Airachnid's location during her communication to the ''Nemesis'' for Megatron. {{storylink|Crossfire}}<br /> <br /> After the ''Nemesis'' crashed, Soundwave reviewed security footage and discovered that Bulkhead had been the one to cause it. Megatron brought it back online using Dark Energon, though the ship's guiding intelligence proved uncontrollable by the Decepticons. Soundwave plugged himself into the flight console in an attempt to regain control, but was zapped into stasis. {{storylink|Flying Mind}}<br /> <br /> He was on the ''Nemesis'' bridge when Knock Out left to find the first of the four relics decoded by the ship. {{storylink|Tunnel Vision}} Dispatched to find the third relic, Soundwave encountered the ''[[Jackhammer (Prime)|Jackhammer]]'' and used Laserbeak as a distraction. He soon uncovered the [[Resonance Blaster]], only to be attacked by [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]]. Though the Autobot managed to crack his visor, Soundwave triumphed, and was only stopped from dispatching Wheeljack by an SOS from Laserbeak. He picked up Laserbeak and returned to the ''Nemesis'', where Knock Out discovered a grenade implanted in the deployer. Once the offending item was removed, Soundwave returned to his work decrypting the Iacon database, unaware that the Autobots had also implanted a virus in Laserbeak, which passed into the computer and began transmitting the database to the Autobots' mainframe. {{storylink|Triage}}<br /> <br /> He returned to the bridge to listen to Megatron complain about how ineffective everyone else was, and watched [[Hardshell]] and Knock Out argue. {{storylink|Hurt}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Titan Magazines ''Prime'' comics===<br /> [[Image:Titan4.2 Soundwave listen.jpg|thumb|right|200px| You look different, Soundwave. Did you do something different with your entire face?]]<br /> During the war, Soundwave took part in a mission led by Megatron to invade [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and destroy the [[Iacon Energon Refinery]]. The team had barely made it in before Soundwave detected that they'd been spotted and the five Decepticons had to take cover. Following a failed gambit which expended the other three team members, Megatron gave Soundwave a bomb. While his leader caused a distraction, Soundwave ran to plant the bomb, only to be struck by blasts from [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|one of the defenders]]. Megatron picked up his wounded second-in-command and helped him to safety, along with the other three Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.2|War Story}}<br /> <br /> Megatron and Soundwave somehow slipped some code into ''[[Invasionauts II]]'' to hypnotise Raf into opening the GroundBridge so they could send Vehicons through. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.4|Tinker, Tailor, Gamer, Spy!}}<br /> <br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Isaac C. Singleton, Jr.]] (English)|[[Claudio Moneta]] (Italian)}}<br /> [[Image:Soundwave WfC GameInformer Concept Art.jpg|300px|Fans loved this but apparently Soundwave wasn't a G1 fan. |thumb|right]]<br /> Soundwave took control of the orbital station [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] was posted at, helping [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] to reach the [[Dark Energon]] by establishing a forward base within the station. He then directed Megatron to a Data Matrix Center in order to find a route to the Dark Energon that had not been blocked by Starscream. <br /> <br /> Later, Soundwave notified Megatron that access to the core was impossible, as it was guarded by the Omega Gate. He and [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] accompanied Megatron as they led the assault on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], through which they would find and take the [[Omega Key]], opening the Omega Gate and allowing the core to be infused with Dark Energon. On their way to the [[Stellar Galleries]], Soundwave reported [[sniper (WFC)|sniper]]s, and after taking them down, Megatron infused the entrance with Dark Energon and took his team into the security station. Soundwave noticed that the batteries fed the security grid, and the trio infused each of them with Dark Energon, deactivating the security measures. Soundwave then detected the Omega Key behind their next door, and after opening it, the Decepticons arrived at the Stellar Galleries. They opened the container, finding not the key, but a message from [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], who announced that he had taken the Omega Key, anticipating Megatron's plan. Zeta sent Autobot attack forces against them, but they were swiftly taken down. Megatron ordered Soundwave to trace Zeta Prime's broadcast, and Soundwave found it came from 12.7 cycles ahead. He then noted a weak wall, and the Decepticons broke it down and entered the cities' subsystems, providing a direct route to Zeta, and the Omega Key.<br /> <br /> The group descended down a shaft and went through a tunnel, avoiding trains on the way, and after breaking down a door in a ventilation area, they were ambushed by Autobot cloakers. Soundwave dispatched them and infused Dark Energon into the batteries. Megatron congratulated him, and then ordered him to unlock the exit. Soundwave obliged, and the trio found themselves in another tunnel. Breakdown challenged Soundwave to a race, to which the Decepticon responded, in his trademark monotone, &quot;Negative.&quot; Tough crowd. Rushing through the tunnel, this time full of moving trains, the group came to a station where they infiltrated Iacon's lower levels. Soundwave detected the Omega Key at last, and suggested proceeding through the logistics station. Roughing it through the Autobot attackers, Soundwave finally determined that the key was beyond the train tunnels.<br /> <br /> Soundwave and his teammates arrived at Iacon's main streets, where they met up with [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]] outside of Zeta Prime's vaults, which were impervious to the small amount of Dark Energon Megatron was capable of channeling. After Megatron's squad helped Brawl clear the area, Brawl called in the Dark Energon bombers, but they were spectacularly shot down by the planetary guns. Brawl suggested disabling them, and Soundwave assisted in carrying out the plan. Autobots advanced all around, but Soundwave and the others managed to hold them off until the next wave of bombers arrived, clearing the street and destroying the Vault doors. Soundwave joined the others on their way to the entrance, but the squad was intercepted by a [[Destroyer (WFC)|Destroyer]]. Soundwave and Breakdown split from Megatron to flank him, and eventually they rendered him non-functional. Inside the vault, they avoided Zeta's traps and finally reached the Omega Key—but it too was a trap. Zeta then attacked them, using a giant hologram and controlling the chamber to his advantage, dropping the ceiling and sending holographic brutes to attack for him while safe within an impenetrable energy shield. (Even during the battle, Soundwave was impressed by the creation of endless energon clones, to which Breakdown responded, roughly, &quot;NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD!&quot;) Soundwave's dorkiness proved useful in discerning the weakness of Zeta's machines—that the core rapidly overheated after prolonged use, and needed to open up in order to cool, rendering it vulnerable to attack. After the battle, Megatron plucked from Zeta's hand the &quot;key&quot;...which started to blink its lights and chirp. Zeta Prime informed them that the &quot;key&quot; he was actually a device that activated the real key: [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]].<br /> <br /> As the three Decepticons flew away to track Omega, Soundwave noticed that the &quot;key&quot; was coming for them. Omega Supreme attacked, and thrust the Decepticons' star cruiser into a wall. Crash-landing, Megatron had a change of plans; force Omega Supreme to open the Omega Gate. Soundwave noticed a [[Decepticon Drop Ship]] across the bridge, but when the squad went to investigate, Omega Supreme intercepted them. Soundwave reported that his weapons were ineffective; Megatron told his soldiers to destroy the bridge supports, causing Omega Supreme's vast bulk to collapse it. But he transformed to his ship mode, flew back up, and forced the Decepticons to retreat inside. In a frenzy, Breakdown noted that the next door was locked, and Soundwave proposed that Dark Energon could open the door, which it did. Inside, Soundwave picked up a transmission from Starscream, who announced that he would be replacing the &quot;deceased&quot; Megatron as Decepticon leader. Enraged, Megatron threatened Starscream, but Soundwave informed his leader that communication to the surface had been cut off, so Starscream could not hear him.<br /> <br /> The trio arrived at the lift, but found it to be locked down. Breaking the locks got the lift back to working condition, but on their way up, Omega Supreme returned and blasted it, forcing the Decepticons down the shaft at breakneck speed. Omega was still out there, so the emergency brakes' destruction was the Decepticons' only hope. At the bottom, they continued their journey to find a way to fight Omega Supreme—Soundwave noted that at the top of the tower were several heavy weapons emplacements which could at least theoretically damage Omega—but Omega Supreme didn't know the meaning of the word quit. (He really doesn't; not much in the processor department.) He grabbed the Decepticons, but Soundwave helped out in shooting Omega Supreme's hand, forcing him relinquishing the three from his grasp. They retreated inside a fortified Autobot position, and in order to prevent detection, Soundwave jammed their signals. Slaying the Autobots inside who dared attempt to counterattack, Soundwave unlocked the exit, which only let in more Autobots. They too, met their demise, but as Soundwave and his comrades escaped, he noticed that the Autobots' security was countering the effects of Dark Energon. Destroying the sentries turned to be a worthwhile solution, but then the Decepticons had to deal with Omega Supreme mining road. Soundwave's sensors indicated the presence of a bridge nearby, and though Breakdown was unsure, Megatron was willing to follow Soundwave's advice. Once again, Omega Supreme continued to stalk them, but Soundwave led his group to an alternate route...a dead end, to be precise, which Megatron was irritated with. Soundwave revealed that breaking a structurally-weak sealed doorway nearby took them to Iacon maintenance tunnels leading straight to the bridge terminal. When they arrived through the power conduits, Soundwave and the others fought through more Autobots and finally activated the bridge.<br /> <br /> Racing across the bridge, they barely avoided Omega Supreme's pursuit, and Soundwave located another cargo lift that would transport them straight to the heavy ion turrets. On the lift he picked up several Autobot/Decepticon signals, a sign they were approaching the battle on the surface. Soundwave participated in the slugfest, and his analysis proved that the turrets nearby had enough firepower to legitimately damage Omega Supreme. Then, he showed no mercy using the turrets to breach Omega's armour and finally topple him to the ground below.<br /> <br /> Soundwave, Breakdown, and Megatron followed Omega, and at the bottom, they were surprised to see him survive and transform into his mighty robot mode. Soundwave noted that energon batteries produced from within Cybertron were the source of Omega's limitless endurance, and further advised the team on battling Omega; avoiding his tractor beams would allow them to live, and his turrets were vulnerable, making them the prime target. When the turrets were blown, Soundwave saw that the batteries were being used to repair them, and so it became an objective to corrupt them with Dark Energon. When Omega Supreme used the batteries to heal himself, he was instead weakened, allowing the Decepticons to critically injure him. Omega Supreme was still alive even after all of that, but much weaker. Soundwave observed that his chest plating had been damaged, and Megatron ordered Soundwave and Breakdown to blast it, and Omega Supreme fell at last. Soundwave advised Megatron that now would be a good time to corrupt Omega with Dark Energon, but Megatron told Captain Obvious to shut up and did as he would have done even if Soundwave hadn't brought it up, laughing all the way.<br /> <br /> After Cybertron's Core had been infected with Dark Energon, Soundwave was reassigned as head of [[Kaon]]'s prison, and watched over (i.e., tortured) Zeta Prime in his spare time. [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]], [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] and [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] led an Autobot breakout and battled Soundwave's minions [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]] and [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]]. Soundwave himself sustained heavy damage leaving the safety of his position to revive and retrieve each Minicon, showing uncharaceristic concern for other living beings. Eventually, defeated and critically damaged, Soundwave desperately attempted to restore himself by absorbing life force from Zeta's very own spark. His attempt to fully heal was halted by Optimus, who even took a shot from the Decepticon intended to finish off Prime. Although Soundwave and his minions fled, the damage had already been done and Zeta Prime expired moments later. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Isaac C. Singleton, Jr.]] (English)<br /> Soundwave hacked into the Autobot mainframe and, while Megatron and some other Decepticons kept the Autobots distracted, downloaded intel indicating the location of the Trypticon space station. As they approached the station in Megatron's ship, Soundwave reported that the inhabitants were taking up defensive positions and docking would not be possible. Though Megatron was confident they could ram the station, Soundwave turned out to be right, and they could only get close enough to drop a small team off on the debris surrounding the station. When the station was conquered and Dark Energon in Megatron's hands, Soundwave suggested it might be a good idea to test the stuff prior to use. It turned out to be unstable, and he warned it could result in destruction of its host. The Decepticons set up Kaon Prison as a testing ground and, after eleven failures, established that the Dark Energon could be used. When Barricade asked what happened to the failures, Soundwave would only say that their remains laid in the prison and creepily ask Barricade to get in the chair so he too could be infused with Dark Energon.<br /> <br /> Trypticon station required more power, so the Decepticons sent a team to Cybertron's core to reactivate the Energon Bridge. Soundwave did not anticipate the activation of latent defense systems, triggered by the Decepticon presence, because he hadn't studied the same ancient files as Starscream. Megatron ordered Soundwave to give Starscream whatever he needed, and they succeeded in activating the bridge. Soundwave reported that they were only at 37% power — the Autobots had severed the bridge's link to the core using the Omega Key. Lazerbeak intercepted an Autobot transmission indicating that Zeta Prime was hiding the Omega Key, and Megatron ordered Soundwave to assemble a strike force to obtain it. They managed to find and defeat the Autobot leader, but the Omega Key he had was only the key to awaken the real key — Omega Supreme. Once the Decepticons fought their way through the Autobot defenses, Soundwave reported they had reached Omega Supreme himself. The Decepticons defeated the giant, reestablished the link to the core and infused it with Dark Energon. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Cybertron Adventures''===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Isaac C.

He took part in the assault on the factory the Autobots had built in the crater where Trypticon crashed, and once Megatron had rebuilt the giant Decepticon, came to power up Trypticon's power core. On Megatron's orders, Soundwave rebuilt Trypticon into the ''Nemesis'', a ship strong enough to make it towards [[Earth|the planet]] [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] had chosen.

The [[instructions]] for applying the stickers unfortunately contain an error, with the placement of stickers 14 and 15 being swapped around.<br /> <br /> ::*''[http://tfu.info/2012/Decepticon/Soundwave/soundwave.htm Hasbro Soundwave at TFU.info]''<br /> ::*''[http://higekumatoytoy.blog60.fc2.com/blog-entry-1501.html Arms Micron Soundwave gallery at Alfes's blog]''<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> [[Image:TfprimeSoundwavePredator.jpg|thumb|But can he replay footage of &quot;[[Operation: Firestorm]]&quot;?]]<br /> [[Image:VectorSigmaBotBuilderSoundwave.jpg|thumb|Soundwave Desert Version.]]<br /> * Soundwave transforms into a Cybertronian car during gameplay of ''War for Cybertron'', and his toy does the same, having only one alternate mode.

Two jet thruster/fuel tanks are created using bottles from a Japanese &quot;common yogurt drink&quot; and a pair of [[Gora]]s painted up silver, with snipped Arms Micron sprues added on for detail. Soundwave also carries a large weapon made from Zori, a plastic fork, and more sprues. Yes, a plastic fork. You read that correctly.<br /> : There is also a vehicle mode configuration for this Arms Up Mode, with the massive turbines on the end of Soundwave's wings and the weapon on top of the main body.

<p>Ronynus Prime: </p> <hr /> <div>{{faction|decepticon|hofsilver}}<br /> {{disambig3|Soundwave}}<br /> :''Soundwave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''<br /> [[Image:Soundwave Prime.jpg|thumb|300px||Despite appearances, that is not a [[mouthplate]].]]<br /> '''Soundwave''' is the spy master of the Decepticons. One of [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s earliest followers, and, many believe, instrumental to his rise, he uses his tentacles and a veritable army of [[Mini-Con|Minicon]] [[Deployer (Prime)|Deployer]]s to learn everything there is to know about his allies and his enemies. He was never very chatty, but these days, on Earth, he's become near silent, communicating by playing back recordings of other people's conversations. He just sneaks about, patiently looking for Autobot transmissions and creeping [[Starscream (Prime)|you]] out. Since the incapacitation of Megatron, Soundwave acts as a restraint on [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], reining in his rather volatile emotions, and ensuring that Starscream's less than subtle ambitions are held in check. <br /> <br /> Soundwave has the ability to receive transmissions from anywhere on the planet, bar the shielded Autobot Base. This allows him to spy on every being on the planet in the hopes of picking up Autobot-related communications.<br /> <br /> {{quote|Watch out for the quiet ones.|[[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]]|&quot;[[One Shall Rise, Part 3]]&quot;}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Aligned novels===<br /> Soundwave was a gladiator from [[Kaon]] who almost bested [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] in combat, an act that created mutual respect between the two. Soundwave saw in Megatron a desire to return to the swashbuckling spirit of the [[Golden Age]] of Cybertron, when Cybertronians emerged from the [[Well of All Sparks]] having to escape from the [[Underworld]]'s monsters rather than being put into a [[caste system|caste]]. He was appointed Megatron's lieutenant with [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]]. Though Megatron despised Minicons, Soundwave insisted on having them around to spy on their gladiators, including the time when Megatron's librarian friend [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]] came to visit. He was suspicious of Orion and even asked permission from Megatron to tail him as he returned to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]].<br /> <br /> After [[Decepticon]]s bombed Cybertron in Megatron's name, Soundwave sent [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]] to search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in [[Crystal City]] (a place which design he always found self indulgent). Soundwave was not sure whether he should have bothered, as he was not superstitious and wondered what use a piece of a [[Star Saber (Prima)|broken sword]] could be. Instead he got chilling indications Crystal City's scientists were planning to revive [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]]. <br /> <br /> [[Image:WFCcomicDecepticons.jpg|thumb|250px|&quot;Yeah, this look is cool now, but I don't think I'll have it ''forever'': I mean, who'd like to [[GEEWUN|see things looking the same for over twenty five years]], right guys? ...guys?&quot;]]<br /> <br /> Soundwave attended Orion and Megatron's hearing before the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. During this meeting, Soundwave helped to sow discord and tension by loudly shouting his complaints over security breaches that, in truth, he himself had caused. The Council noted that they were aware someone had tried to find the Matrix, and they appointed Orion [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] and requested he find it. This tore Orion and Megatron's movement in two.<br /> <br /> During the final days of the war, Soundwave and his minions' research changed the fate of Cybertron. It was they who found the areas of the [[DataNet]] that [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] had overlooked and not deleted, revealing the existence of [[Dark Energon]] on [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] Station. It was he who remembered the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] below Crystal City that allowed for the mass transportation of Dark Energon between Cybertron and Trypticon. And it was the evidence he got from Rumble and Frenzy when they infiltrated Crystal City that revealed the existence of the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] and its two [[Code Key]]s, which enabled Megatron to poison the [[Core]] of Cybertron.<br /> <br /> When Optimus removed the Chamber from the Core, beginning the planet's slow healing process, Soundwave boarded the ''Nemesis'' with Megatron, [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] and [[Lugnut (WFC)|Lugnut]] to pursue the Autobot ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' into the unknown reaches of space. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}<br /> <br /> Soundwave regained consciousness onboard the ''Nemesis'' after emerging from the energy field created by the Space Bridge explosion over Cybertron. While Megatron demanded a status report, Soundwave was already deep at work in a console attempting to determine the answer. Along with Starscream and Megatron, Soundwave examined the tracking reports and confirmed Starscream's assumption that the ''Ark'' was likely not too far away. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}<br /> <br /> ===''Prime'' cartoon===<br /> When a gladiator calling himself Megatronus vowed to challenge Cybertron's leadership, Soundwave was his first follower and chief amongst them. Soundwave remained at Megatronus' side, now Megatron, as the conflict escalated into a war. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}} Following the [[Great Exodus]], when the Decepticons were trying to decrypt an encoded Autobot transmission, Soundwave suggested they should let [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] have a shot at interrogating [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]]. {{storylink|Out of the Past}}<br /> <br /> The Decepticons later arrived on [[Earth]]. During a Decepticon attack on Cliffjumper, Soundwave intercepted Arcee's comms talk. He later played it back to Starscream, prompting the Decepticon leader to send the drones after her. He later detected transmissions coming from deep space, that prompted the Decepticons to fire up the [[space bridge]], allowing Megatron to return. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} <br /> <br /> [[Image:DarknessRising5-Soundwaveturn.jpg|right|thumb|200px|He's not shuttershy. He's also not Fluttershy.]]<br /> Shortly after Megatron left the ship on a mission, Starscream wondered aloud if Megatron had a touch of space madness, and Soundwave reminded him that their absent leader was still in charge. Starscream told him to step up global surveillance. Soundwave subsequently intercepted a transmission from [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] and, on Starscream's order, dispatched [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] to capture the agent to learn the location of the [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Autobot base]]. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}} When the Autobots attacked the ''Nemesis'' to retrieve Fowler, slaughtering dozens of their soldiers, Soundwave hid. He simply watched when Megatron returned and took his fury out on Starscream on the bridge for not waiting on his command. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}<br /> <br /> Starscream sent Soundwave to the [[Giant Sized Array]] radio telescope in [[Texas]] as they needed to use the array to target the space bridge at [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Soundwave hacked into the computer network at the site, but after he had lined up the dishes, someone realigned them. In response to Starscream's demands as to what was happening, he tapped into the base's security system and discovered that the Autobots' three human friends were in a nearby room, similarly accessing the computer. He extended a tentacle into the room they were in and attacked them. When [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] tried to chop the tentacle with an ax, Soundwave took it from her and used it to sever the computer system's hardline, locking the dishes on Cybertron. The three kids entered the room in time to see him leaving, and Miko and Soundwave snapped photos of each other. <br /> <br /> [[Image:MastersStudents-Soundwavesradar.jpg|thumb|left|200px|See how much more convincing I am as a [[:Image:Cybertronsoundwave.jpg|communications tower]] with this look?]]<br /> <br /> Because of Soundwave's success, the Autobots resorted to sabotaging the space bridge, blowing it up and taking Megatron with it. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}} At Starscream's order, Soundwave activated the comm system so Starscream could give a speech to the troops, declaring himself leader. Failing to impress the Vehicons, Starscream pressed Soundwave's sensors into locating [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]], a Decepticon secreted in a pod in the desert. Starscream and Soundwave reactivated Skyquake, only to find he wasn't receptive to Starscream's leadership, and instead set about fighting [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]]. Soundwave detected a Decepticon signal from the site where the space bridge exploded, and when Starscream went to investigate, Soundwave sent Laserbeak to keep Starscream honest while he himself filmed the battle between Skyquake and Optimus and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]]. Though the fight ended detrimental to the Decepticon cause, Soundwave was able to ensure that Starscream returned Megatron's barely-functioning body to the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Masters &amp; Students}}<br /> <br /> Soundwave intercepted a transmission from [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] who was heading for Earth. At Starscream's order, he downloaded the necessary information to [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]], who took on Wheeljack's form and infiltrated the Autobot base. As Starscream and Soundwave paid a visit to the captive Wheeljack, Soundwave prevented his leader from terminating their prisoner, as he might be of use later. The two 'Cons retired to the ship's top deck to wait for Makeshift to activate the [[GroundBridge]], however Wheeljack broke free and started trashing the Vehicons. When Wheeljack escaped through the ground bridge and sent back Makeshift with his grenade activated, Soundwave and Starscream made sure to get well clear before he exploded. {{storylink|Con Job}} During another Autobot operation, Soundwave listened in on their comms chatter, prompting Starscream to send some Vehicons to attack. {{storylink|Convoy (episode)|Convoy}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Deusex-Soundwavecrouching.jpg|thumb|250px|And that's why there's no [[Ratbat (WFC)|Ratbat]].]]<br /> <br /> When [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] mentioned seeing an [[Energon Harvester]] in a fresco in [[Greece]], Soundwave was able to track the device's location to a museum. Breakdown and [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] kept the Autobots busy in front of the museum while Soundwave sneaked in the back. He ran into Raf and Jack, who were already in the process of stealing the Harvester, and grabbed it from them before making a getaway in his vehicle mode. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:SickMind-Soundwaveobjects.jpg|thumb|250px|left|&quot;Let me see some tenderness connected with a death, or that dark chamber, Spirit, which we left just now, will be forever present to me.&quot;]]<br /> <br /> Starscream and Knock Out made a concerted attempt to convince Soundwave that Megatron was beyond saving, and that the only option left to them was euthanasia. Soundwave remained skeptical, and pointed out the patch cable that Arcee and Bumblebee was using to access Megatron's brain. Megatron's life support was damaged during the ensuing confusion, and though it seemed Starscream and Knock Out were content to leave Megatron flat-lining, Soundwave pressured them into reconnecting the cable sustaining their master. {{storylink|Sick Mind}}<br /> <br /> After Megatron's resurrection, Soundwave kept him informed regarding Starscream's activities, including his attempt to resurrect Skyquake with the Dark Energon shard ripped from Megatron's chest, and the loss of his arm. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}} Soundwave watched as Breakdown was captured by [[MECH]], and reported back to Starscream. He was on the bridge of the ''Nemesis'' when Starscream passed the news on to Megatron, who was less than impressed that Breakdown had been taken by a bunch of humans. {{storylink|Operation: Breakdown}} He detected the magnetic anomaly caused by the [[polarity gauntlet]], causing Megatron to send Breakdown to go look for it. {{storylink|Metal Attraction}}<br /> <br /> Megatron and Starscream headed to a stripped Energon Mine to discover mining drills still there. Starscream attempted to blame this on Soundwave. Megatron told Starscream that Soundwave had been filling him in on the second-in-command's activities. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}} Soundwave listened to Starscream's confessions after Megatron nearly terminated the second-in-command. {{storylink|Partners}}<br /> <br /> When the new Decepticon space bridge was nearing completion, Soundwave supplied a diagram of the last component they needed. After they obtained said component, Megatron left the ship on a mission of his own. [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] began searching the ship for the Decepticon leader and Megatron instructed Soundwave to send Prime to him. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:SoundwavePlayingSparkbeat..jpg‎|thumb|200px|He's playing Dubstep.]]<br /> <br /> Soundwave translated tremors coming from the Earth's core into sound, revealing it to be a heartbeat. Megatron did not appreciate this, as it was making his head hurt. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}<br /> <br /> After Megatron left the ship to talk to [[Unicron]], Soundwave monitored the comms channels for his master's return. When [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]] suggested considering a future without Megatron, Soundwave ominously looked at her. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Soundwavelayingdownthelaw.jpg‎|thumb|200px|left|YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!]]<br /> Soundwave continued to try to find some sign of Megatron. When Airachnid announced Megatron wasn't coming back and ordered the ship to [[Regulon Four]], Soundwave decided it was time to lay down the law. He defied Airachnid, who angrily attacked him, but the Decepticon spy master quickly proceeded to &lt;strike&gt;defeat&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;strike&gt;demolish&lt;/strike&gt; humiliate Airachnid. Upon Unicron's defeat, Soundwave detected Megatron's signal and activated the GroundBridge, bowing in respect with the other Decepticons as Megatron entered the bridge of the ship. He had to hold Breakdown back when they saw that Megatron was accompanied by Optimus Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}<br /> <br /> With Optimus amnesiac and believing himself to be archivist Orion Pax, Soundwave made sure the ship's [[data core]] was clear of any incriminating evidence so Orion could be put to work decrypting information they'd stolen from the Iacon archives. When Arcee managed to get on board the ship to look for the lost Autobot leader, Soundwave made deft use of the GroundBridge to get her back off before Orion could see her. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}} When Orion eventually learned the truth, Soundwave relayed the news to Megatron. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} He also notified Megatron when activity was detected on Cybertron, indicating that the Autobots had gone there in an attempt to help Optimus. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}<br /> <br /> When Megatron was angry after having had the [[spark extractor|latest find]] snatched from his hands, Soundwave reminded him there were still two more sets of coordinates to investigate. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} Soundwave was present when Megatron unsuccessfully tested the [[Forge of Solus Prime]]. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}} He played back footage of Skyquake's demise for [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]]. {{storylink|Loose Cannons}}<br /> <br /> Soundwave continued to try to decode more data from the Iacon archives, in a continuation of Orion Pax's work. When Airachnid requested Megatron's approval to take point in the hunt for the relics, Megatron requested that Soundwave remind him of her previous words when she planned to abandon him. Later, after Dreadwing and Breakdown's failiure to execute her, Soundwave began tracing Airachnid's location during her communication to the ''Nemesis'' for Megatron. {{storylink|Crossfire}}<br /> <br /> After the ''Nemesis'' crashed, Soundwave reviewed security footage and discovered that Bulkhead had been the one to cause it. Megatron brought it back online using Dark Energon, though the ship's guiding intelligence proved uncontrollable by the Decepticons. Soundwave plugged himself into the flight console in an attempt to regain control, but was zapped into stasis. {{storylink|Flying Mind}}<br /> <br /> He was on the ''Nemesis'' bridge when Knock Out left to find the first of the four relics decoded by the ship. {{storylink|Tunnel Vision}} Dispatched to find the third relic, Soundwave encountered the ''[[Jackhammer (Prime)|Jackhammer]]'' and used Laserbeak as a distraction. He soon uncovered the [[Resonance Blaster]], only to be attacked by [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]]. Though the Autobot managed to crack his visor, Soundwave triumphed, and was only stopped from dispatching Wheeljack by an SOS from Laserbeak. He picked up Laserbeak and returned to the ''Nemesis'', where Knock Out discovered a grenade implanted in the deployer. Once the offending item was removed, Soundwave returned to his work decrypting the Iacon database, unaware that the Autobots had also implanted a virus in Laserbeak, which passed into the computer and began transmitting the database to the Autobots' mainframe. {{storylink|Triage}}<br /> <br /> He returned to the bridge to listen to Megatron complain about how ineffective everyone else was, and watched [[Hardshell]] and Knock Out argue. {{storylink|Hurt}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Titan Magazines ''Prime'' comics===<br /> [[Image:Titan4.2 Soundwave listen.jpg|thumb|right|200px| You look different, Soundwave. Did you do something different with your entire face?]]<br /> During the war, Soundwave took part in a mission led by Megatron to invade [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and destroy the [[Iacon Energon Refinery]]. The team had barely made it in before Soundwave detected that they'd been spotted and the five Decepticons had to take cover. Following a failed gambit which expended the other three team members, Megatron gave Soundwave a bomb. While his leader caused a distraction, Soundwave ran to plant the bomb, only to be struck by blasts from [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|one of the defenders]]. Megatron picked up his wounded second-in-command and helped him to safety, along with the other three Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.2|War Story}}<br /> <br /> Megatron and Soundwave somehow slipped some code into ''[[Invasionauts II]]'' to hypnotise Raf into opening the GroundBridge so they could send Vehicons through. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.4|Tinker, Tailor, Gamer, Spy!}}<br /> <br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Isaac C. Singleton, Jr.]] (English)|[[Claudio Moneta]] (Italian)}}<br /> [[Image:Soundwave WfC GameInformer Concept Art.jpg|300px|Fans loved this but apparently Soundwave wasn't a G1 fan. |thumb|right]]<br /> Soundwave took control of the orbital station [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] was posted at, helping [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] to reach the [[Dark Energon]] by establishing a forward base within the station. He then directed Megatron to a Data Matrix Center in order to find a route to the Dark Energon that had not been blocked by Starscream. <br /> <br /> Later, Soundwave notified Megatron that access to the core was impossible, as it was guarded by the Omega Gate. He and [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] accompanied Megatron as they led the assault on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], through which they would find and take the [[Omega Key]], opening the Omega Gate and allowing the core to be infused with Dark Energon. On their way to the [[Stellar Galleries]], Soundwave reported [[sniper (WFC)|sniper]]s, and after taking them down, Megatron infused the entrance with Dark Energon and took his team into the security station. Soundwave noticed that the batteries fed the security grid, and the trio infused each of them with Dark Energon, deactivating the security measures. Soundwave then detected the Omega Key behind their next door, and after opening it, the Decepticons arrived at the Stellar Galleries. They opened the container, finding not the key, but a message from [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], who announced that he had taken the Omega Key, anticipating Megatron's plan. Zeta sent Autobot attack forces against them, but they were swiftly taken down. Megatron ordered Soundwave to trace Zeta Prime's broadcast, and Soundwave found it came from 12.7 cycles ahead. He then noted a weak wall, and the Decepticons broke it down and entered the cities' subsystems, providing a direct route to Zeta, and the Omega Key.<br /> <br /> The group descended down a shaft and went through a tunnel, avoiding trains on the way, and after breaking down a door in a ventilation area, they were ambushed by Autobot cloakers. Soundwave dispatched them and infused Dark Energon into the batteries. Megatron congratulated him, and then ordered him to unlock the exit. Soundwave obliged, and the trio found themselves in another tunnel. Breakdown challenged Soundwave to a race, to which the Decepticon responded, in his trademark monotone, &quot;Negative.&quot; Tough crowd. Rushing through the tunnel, this time full of moving trains, the group came to a station where they infiltrated Iacon's lower levels. Soundwave detected the Omega Key at last, and suggested proceeding through the logistics station. Roughing it through the Autobot attackers, Soundwave finally determined that the key was beyond the train tunnels.<br /> <br /> Soundwave and his teammates arrived at Iacon's main streets, where they met up with [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]] outside of Zeta Prime's vaults, which were impervious to the small amount of Dark Energon Megatron was capable of channeling. After Megatron's squad helped Brawl clear the area, Brawl called in the Dark Energon bombers, but they were spectacularly shot down by the planetary guns. Brawl suggested disabling them, and Soundwave assisted in carrying out the plan. Autobots advanced all around, but Soundwave and the others managed to hold them off until the next wave of bombers arrived, clearing the street and destroying the Vault doors. Soundwave joined the others on their way to the entrance, but the squad was intercepted by a [[Destroyer (WFC)|Destroyer]]. Soundwave and Breakdown split from Megatron to flank him, and eventually they rendered him non-functional. Inside the vault, they avoided Zeta's traps and finally reached the Omega Key—but it too was a trap. Zeta then attacked them, using a giant hologram and controlling the chamber to his advantage, dropping the ceiling and sending holographic brutes to attack for him while safe within an impenetrable energy shield. (Even during the battle, Soundwave was impressed by the creation of endless energon clones, to which Breakdown responded, roughly, &quot;NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD!&quot;) Soundwave's dorkiness proved useful in discerning the weakness of Zeta's machines—that the core rapidly overheated after prolonged use, and needed to open up in order to cool, rendering it vulnerable to attack. After the battle, Megatron plucked from Zeta's hand the &quot;key&quot;...which started to blink its lights and chirp. Zeta Prime informed them that the &quot;key&quot; he was actually a device that activated the real key: [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]].<br /> <br /> As the three Decepticons flew away to track Omega, Soundwave noticed that the &quot;key&quot; was coming for them. Omega Supreme attacked, and thrust the Decepticons' star cruiser into a wall. Crash-landing, Megatron had a change of plans; force Omega Supreme to open the Omega Gate. Soundwave noticed a [[Decepticon Drop Ship]] across the bridge, but when the squad went to investigate, Omega Supreme intercepted them. Soundwave reported that his weapons were ineffective; Megatron told his soldiers to destroy the bridge supports, causing Omega Supreme's vast bulk to collapse it. But he transformed to his ship mode, flew back up, and forced the Decepticons to retreat inside. In a frenzy, Breakdown noted that the next door was locked, and Soundwave proposed that Dark Energon could open the door, which it did. Inside, Soundwave picked up a transmission from Starscream, who announced that he would be replacing the &quot;deceased&quot; Megatron as Decepticon leader. Enraged, Megatron threatened Starscream, but Soundwave informed his leader that communication to the surface had been cut off, so Starscream could not hear him.<br /> <br /> The trio arrived at the lift, but found it to be locked down. Breaking the locks got the lift back to working condition, but on their way up, Omega Supreme returned and blasted it, forcing the Decepticons down the shaft at breakneck speed. Omega was still out there, so the emergency brakes' destruction was the Decepticons' only hope. At the bottom, they continued their journey to find a way to fight Omega Supreme—Soundwave noted that at the top of the tower were several heavy weapons emplacements which could at least theoretically damage Omega—but Omega Supreme didn't know the meaning of the word quit. (He really doesn't; not much in the processor department.) He grabbed the Decepticons, but Soundwave helped out in shooting Omega Supreme's hand, forcing him relinquishing the three from his grasp. They retreated inside a fortified Autobot position, and in order to prevent detection, Soundwave jammed their signals. Slaying the Autobots inside who dared attempt to counterattack, Soundwave unlocked the exit, which only let in more Autobots. They too, met their demise, but as Soundwave and his comrades escaped, he noticed that the Autobots' security was countering the effects of Dark Energon. Destroying the sentries turned to be a worthwhile solution, but then the Decepticons had to deal with Omega Supreme mining road. Soundwave's sensors indicated the presence of a bridge nearby, and though Breakdown was unsure, Megatron was willing to follow Soundwave's advice. Once again, Omega Supreme continued to stalk them, but Soundwave led his group to an alternate route...a dead end, to be precise, which Megatron was irritated with. Soundwave revealed that breaking a structurally-weak sealed doorway nearby took them to Iacon maintenance tunnels leading straight to the bridge terminal. When they arrived through the power conduits, Soundwave and the others fought through more Autobots and finally activated the bridge.<br /> <br /> Racing across the bridge, they barely avoided Omega Supreme's pursuit, and Soundwave located another cargo lift that would transport them straight to the heavy ion turrets. On the lift he picked up several Autobot/Decepticon signals, a sign they were approaching the battle on the surface. Soundwave participated in the slugfest, and his analysis proved that the turrets nearby had enough firepower to legitimately damage Omega Supreme. Then, he showed no mercy using the turrets to breach Omega's armour and finally topple him to the ground below.<br /> <br /> Soundwave, Breakdown, and Megatron followed Omega, and at the bottom, they were surprised to see him survive and transform into his mighty robot mode. Soundwave noted that energon batteries produced from within Cybertron were the source of Omega's limitless endurance, and further advised the team on battling Omega; avoiding his tractor beams would allow them to live, and his turrets were vulnerable, making them the prime target. When the turrets were blown, Soundwave saw that the batteries were being used to repair them, and so it became an objective to corrupt them with Dark Energon. When Omega Supreme used the batteries to heal himself, he was instead weakened, allowing the Decepticons to critically injure him. Omega Supreme was still alive even after all of that, but much weaker. Soundwave observed that his chest plating had been damaged, and Megatron ordered Soundwave and Breakdown to blast it, and Omega Supreme fell at last. Soundwave advised Megatron that now would be a good time to corrupt Omega with Dark Energon, but Megatron told Captain Obvious to shut up and did as he would have done even if Soundwave hadn't brought it up, laughing all the way.<br /> <br /> After Cybertron's Core had been infected with Dark Energon, Soundwave was reassigned as head of [[Kaon]]'s prison, and watched over (i.e., tortured) Zeta Prime in his spare time. [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]], [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] and [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] led an Autobot breakout and battled Soundwave's minions [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]] and [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]]. Soundwave himself sustained heavy damage leaving the safety of his position to revive and retrieve each Minicon, showing uncharaceristic concern for other living beings. Eventually, defeated and critically damaged, Soundwave desperately attempted to restore himself by absorbing life force from Zeta's very own spark. His attempt to fully heal was halted by Optimus, who even took a shot from the Decepticon intended to finish off Prime. Although Soundwave and his minions fled, the damage had already been done and Zeta Prime expired moments later. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Isaac C. Singleton, Jr.]] (English)<br /> Soundwave hacked into the Autobot mainframe and, while Megatron and some other Decepticons kept the Autobots distracted, downloaded intel indicating the location of the Trypticon space station. As they approached the station in Megatron's ship, Soundwave reported that the inhabitants were taking up defensive positions and docking would not be possible. Though Megatron was confident they could ram the station, Soundwave turned out to be right, and they could only get close enough to drop a small team off on the debris surrounding the station. When the station was conquered and Dark Energon in Megatron's hands, Soundwave suggested it might be a good idea to test the stuff prior to use. It turned out to be unstable, and he warned it could result in destruction of its host. The Decepticons set up Kaon Prison as a testing ground and, after eleven failures, established that the Dark Energon could be used. When Barricade asked what happened to the failures, Soundwave would only say that their remains laid in the prison and creepily ask Barricade to get in the chair so he too could be infused with Dark Energon.<br /> <br /> Trypticon station required more power, so the Decepticons sent a team to Cybertron's core to reactivate the Energon Bridge. Soundwave did not anticipate the activation of latent defense systems, triggered by the Decepticon presence, because he hadn't studied the same ancient files as Starscream. Megatron ordered Soundwave to give Starscream whatever he needed, and they succeeded in activating the bridge. Soundwave reported that they were only at 37% power — the Autobots had severed the bridge's link to the core using the Omega Key. Lazerbeak intercepted an Autobot transmission indicating that Zeta Prime was hiding the Omega Key, and Megatron ordered Soundwave to assemble a strike force to obtain it. They managed to find and defeat the Autobot leader, but the Omega Key he had was only the key to awaken the real key — Omega Supreme. Once the Decepticons fought their way through the Autobot defenses, Soundwave reported they had reached Omega Supreme himself. The Decepticons defeated the giant, reestablished the link to the core and infused it with Dark Energon. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Cybertron Adventures''===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Isaac C.

He watched as [[Metroplex (FOC)|Metroplex]]''' pulverised''' Megatron. He was the only one who hesitated in following Starscream. He secretly salvaged and with the help of Laserbeak, Rumble and an [[E.D.K. TechVolt]], rebuilt his glorious leader, improving on his original design. He infused Megatron with Dark Energon, and pointed his leader in the direction of Starscream. He took part in the assault on the factory the Autobots had built in the crater where Trypticon crashed, and once Megatron had rebuilt the giant Decepticon, came to power up Trypticon's power core. On Megatron's orders, Soundwave rebuilt Trypticon into the ''Nemesis'', a ship strong enough to make it towards [[Earth|the planet]] [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] had chosen. When the Autobots launched the Ark, the ''Nemesis'' soon caught up, and Soundwave spearheaded the assault on the other ship. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron}}<br /> <br /> ===''Terrorcon Defense''===<br /> [[Image:SoundwaveTerrorconDefense.jpg|300px|thumb|As awesome as he looks here, he's probably waltzing off after Bumblebee blasted him ''again''.]]<br /> Soundwave attempts to retrieve Dark Energon from a mining area but despite his army of Vehicons and Terrorcons, Bumblebee manages to stop him. {{storylink|Transformers Prime: Terrorcon Defense}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> === ''Transformers Prime: The Game'' ===<br /> [[Image:TransformersPrimeTheGame Soundwave.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Wait, I thought Daft Punk had two guys in it.]]<br /> {{comingsoon}}<br /> {{storylink|Transformers Prime: The Game}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Commercial appearances==<br /> [[Image:WFC Gamestop Commercial.jpg|left|150px|thumb|The toy can do this if you try hard enough.]]<br /> [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] arrived to a location where [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], and Soundwave were battling Autobots.

This was changed to red for the Fall of Cybertron sequel, perhaps displaying, in-universe, his furthered dedication to the Decepticon cause?. <br /> * According to the [[Transformers Hall of Fame]] biography, Soundwave [[Perceptor (Animated)|deleted his emotions to process information more quickly]], and is susceptible to [[Cyber Missions 1|too many sonic booms]].<br /> * [[Duane Capizzi]] said Soundwave can speak, but just chooses not to.

What exactly makes all this ideal for nighttime attacks is anyone's guess.<br /> <br /> *'''Jet Mode'''<br /> **''Arms Microns'': Gora (x2), Zori<br /> : Meant simply for flying in fast and blowing crap up, this ''HEAVILY'' modified version of Soundwave requires... some real work. Because of all the recycled non-''Transformers'' parts in this mode, TakaraTomy designer [[Takashi Nakase]] has nicknamed this version &quot;Recycle Mode&quot;. Two jet thruster/fuel tanks are created using bottles from a Japanese &quot;common yogurt drink&quot; and a pair of [[Gora]]s painted up silver, with snipped Arms Micron sprues added on for detail. Soundwave also carries a large weapon made from Zori, a plastic fork, and more sprues. Yes, a plastic fork. You read that correctly.<br /> : There is also a vehicle mode configuration for this Arms Up Mode, with the massive turbines on the end of Soundwave's wings and the weapon on top of the main body.
