Thunderblade: /* About TFWiki */

I find this rather frustrating...

According to the Help section, I am encouraged to add new content, facts, trivia or links. But when I do, people delete it WITHOUT mentioning it in the talk back and simply tell me to "stop posting."

So, did I miss something? Are we allowed to post ONLY if others like what we post?

I hate wikis.

:: Depends what you're posting that people are deleting. Be specific and we might be able to adress your problem. You also should regester and get a user name if you intend to contribute. --[[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 15:11, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh....I get it now. All those funny image captions aren't some uber-evil vandalism scheme. I was getting ready to go around changing everything. Glad I noticed this page - FinalWish.

== About TFWiki ==

Why TFWiki.net and not Transformers.wikia.com ? I had hoped to find an explanation here (or at least a link to the right place) '''about''' how this site started and what it wants to do differently, rather than just generic instructions about how to use a Wiki.

I see the goofy jokes seem to be one difference for sure. I found an external site claiming [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-general-discussion/288839-whats-difference-between-transformers-wikia-com-tfwiki-net.html TFWiki was setup to avoid certain restrictions of Wikia]. If that same information is on this wiki somewhere it would be great if someone could point me to it. It would be great to know what TFWiki wants to be and mistakes to avoid. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.77.111.246|109.77.111.246]] 10:58, 19 October 2010 (EDT)

::Perhaps we should have a "History of TFWiki" section on this page? --[[User:Tigerpaw28|Tigerpaw28]] 12:42, 19 October 2010 (EDT)

Thanks. Question answered and now at least anyone with the same questions I had also stands a decent chance of finding this and learning what the split was about. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.76.176.244|109.76.176.244]] 00:09, 4 November 2010 (EDT)

'''''Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark''''' is the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark]]'' console game, a strategy RPG rather than the action/shooter of the console version,<ref>[http://www.examiner.com/article/transformers-rise-of-the-dark-spark-announced-3ds-version-to-be-strategy-rpg "Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark" announced; 3DS version to be Strategy RPG]</ref> developed by [[WayForward]]. As with the console version, the game is a crossover between the [[Movie continuity]] and the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned continuity]] begun with ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', and features over fifty Transformers characters, slightly more than the console version.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/new-rise-of-the-dark-spark-preview-from-game-informer-179722/</ref> The game was released on [[June 24]], [[2014]].

==Gameplay==
The standard gameplay is similar to that of ''[[Transformers G1: Awakening]]'' - there is a flat map, broken into squares, around which the player and computer take turns moving their characters. For story sections, an image of the character appears on-screen along with their dialog in both written and spoken form.

When the characters attack each other, the battle mode uses three-dimensional graphics to display the turn-based combat. The battle takes place according to the following rules: each turn in combat gains points that can be spent on one of seven different attacks, which from requiring one point to punch to super-attacks that need to accumulate points over a few turn. You can also block the attack of the enemy. During the fighting the characters gain experience, and Transformers' stats increase with their level. Furthermore, 32 units are support units who only have a brief [[bio]] and image of that character, in-game providing certain bonuses in battle.

==Synopsis==
===Signs of Trouble===
*''Playable units:'' [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]]
[[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] mounts an attack on an [[Earth]] city, which [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] suspects may be related to a [[Dark Spark|mysterious object]] that the [[Autobot]]s had recently detected. [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] deals with the [[Shadow Raider|mercenaries]] at his position before heading to regroup with his comrades.
===Procuring Firepower===
*''Playable units:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]]
The reunited Autobots break the attackers' line of defense to recover three weapons caches, allowing them to step up their counterattack. They subsequently make their way towards the impact crater of the unknown artifact.
===Divide and Conquer===
*''Playable units:'' Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
At the Dark Spark's location, Lockdown's troops activate turrets to defend against the incoming Autobots. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] joins the fight, but the mercenaries retreat to Lockdown's ship with the artifact before they are overrun.
===The Dark Spark===
*''Playable units:'' [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
Unable to take off due to heavy fire, Lockdown and his troops are forced to defend their ship against an Autobot assault that includes Prime, Bumblebee and Drift. Optimus pleads with the mercenary not to use the Dark Spark, having learned of its nature through the [[Matrix of Leadership]], but Lockdown successfully escapes with the dangerous object.
===Entering the Ancient Tombs===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
On another universe's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] has dispatched his [[Decepticon]]s to track down the Dark Spark, seeking to use the artifact to end the war. Entering tombs believed to hold the Dark Spark, [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] and [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] are attacked by [[Insecticon (WFC)|primitive insect creatures]], but fight their way through.
===A Plague of Insecticons===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]]
Moving further into the ruins, the Decepticons are forced to fight off more Insecticons, including the more powerful [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]], whilst waiting for a large door to open. With the threat ended, they reach the Dark Spark's vault.
===Unsealing the Vault===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Sharpshot]]
The vault's entrance is blocked by an acid jet, so the trio activate four control panels whilst fending off further Insecticons. Beyond the deactivated acid, however, is [[Sharpshot]], another powerful Insecticon. He is defeated in battle, but Shockwave proposes an alliance, as Sharpshot, Kickback and [[Hardshell]] can influence the lower Insecticons. Sharpshot agrees, and the new allies proceed.

===Turning the Tables===
*''Playable units:'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
Whilst the Decepticons are occupied with the Insecticons, [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]] sneak into the opened vault and take the Dark Spark. As the Autobots fight Insecticons on their way out, Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave arrive, but Arcee's team fight their way through to make an escape.
===The Great Train Escape===
*''Playable units:'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]
The Autobots regroup with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s team at a train station, but a swarm of Insecticons arrive before they can flee with the Dark Spark. The team holds its own until a train arrives, but as they leave aboard, the Decepticons detonate explosives on the line.
===After the Crash===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]
Arriving at the site of the train crash, the Decepticons recover the Dark Spark, but encounter resistance from the Autobots. They make short work of their enemies, before heading out to return the artifact to Megatron.
===The Outskirts of Kaon===
*''Playable units:'' [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], [[Swindle (FOC)|Swindle]], [[Sharpshot]]
The Decepticons rendezvous with [[Swindle (FOC)|Swindle]] at the gates to [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], which are heavily guarded by Autobot troops. They overrun the position and blast their way through the first gate.

The Decepticons approach the location of the other [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticons]], and, following orders from Megatron relayed by [[Slipstream (WFC)|Slipstream]], they protect the elite team as they prepare to combine into [[Bruticus (WFC)|Bruticus]]. The combiner is successfully formed, and the Decepticons prepare to sit back and watch as the giant tears away the Autobots.
===Bruticus Awakens===
*''Playable units:'' [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]], [[Slipstream (WFC)|Slipstream]]

*''Bosses:'' [[Bruticus (WFC)|Bruticus]]
The Autobots pursue Bruticus to the edge of [[Kolkular]], where the combiner positions himself near a pair of generators. The team fights their way forward, repeatedly overloading the generators until their discharge defeats Bruticus.
===Attack on Kolkular===
*''Playable units:'' [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Sharpshot]], [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]], [[Slipstream (WFC)|Slipstream]], Heavy Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]]
Making their way across Kolkular towards Megatron, the Decepticon party carrying the Dark Spark come under siege from Autobots in city's research facility. They activate the facility's defences and repel the invaders before continuing on their way.

*''Bosses:'' [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]

*''Playable units:'' [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]], Recon Soldier, Assault Soldier ×2
[[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] is given orders by Optimus to infiltrate the remains of [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] and fire the behemoth's primary weapon at Kolkular. The aerial Autobot meets up with reinforcements, and they fight past Decepticon guards into Trypticon's interior.

With no other option, Optimus Prime unleashes the power of the Matrix of Leadership, knocking the Dark Spark away from Megatron into space.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*The game takes place both on the [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' universe and [[Earth]] of the movie and Generation 1 universes.

===Errors===
===Trivia===
[[File:Transformers- Rise of the Dark Spark Landmine support unit.jpg|250px|thumb]]
*The Support Units featured in the game are depicted as follows:
**[[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] in his 2007 Deluxe Class toy body.
**Earth (Movieverse) [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] is in his 2007 Voyager Class toy body while Cybertron (Aligned) [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]] roughly resembles [[Thundercracker (G1)|Generation 1 Thundercracker]].
**[[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] is heavily based off his Voyager Class toy body from the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] portion of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 toyline]], a redeco of [[Long Haul (ROTF)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Long Haul]].
**[[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] is in his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Scout Class toy body and not one identical to Landmine's. As for [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]], he is more in line with his ''Revenge'' Scout Class toy body as well.
**[[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]], who makes a voice-over appearance in the console version, roughly resembles [[Perceptor (G1)|G1 Perceptor]]. The same thing applies to [[Huffer (Prime)|Huf]][[Huffer (G1)|fer]], [[Ramjet (WFC)|Ram]][[Ramjet (G1)|jet]], [[Skywarp (WFC)|Sky]][[Skywarp (G1)|warp]], and [[Dirge (WFC)|Dir]][[Dirge (G1)|ge]].
**[[Scattorshot (ROTF)|Scattershot]] is straight from ''Revenge of the Fallen'', yet his name is spelled Scattershot in this game.
**The Rollbar featured in the game is essentially [[Rollbar (RPM)|''Robot Powered Machines'' Rollbar]], but with the design of [[Rollbar (ROTF)|another Rollbar]] with the Scout Class toy that turns into a delivery van.
**[[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]] is [[The Transformers (toyline)|G1 toy]] blue and [[Rumble (WFC)|Rumble]] is [[The Transformers (cartoon)|G1 cartoon]] purplish-blue, in an unusual twist on the [[FIRRIB]] debate.
**[[Steeljaw (FOC)|Steeljaw]], [[Eject (FOC)|Eject]], [[Rewind (FOC)|Rewind]], and [[Ramhorn (FOC)|Ramhorn]] are based off their ''Fall of Cybertron'' toys from the ''Generations'' toyline.
**[[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] is in his [[Dark of the Moon (video games)|''Dark of the Moon'' video game]] body.
**[[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] are all straight from the Deluxe Class portion of the 2007 Movie toyline.
**[[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] is in his original toy's colors whereas [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] is redecoed from him, though the redeco was later repurposed as another form of Wreckage.
**[[Gears (ROTDS)|Gears]] and [[Windcharger (ROTDS)|Windcharger]] are new "Aligned" characters based off their [[Gears (G1)|Generation 1]] [[Windcharger (G1)|counterparts]].
**[[Scavenger (Prime)|Scavenger]] and [[Hook (Prime)|Hook]] have previously appeared in "Aligned" novels, so they are finally given proper physical appearances based off [[Scavenger (G1)|their G1]] [[Hook (G1)|counterparts]].
*[[Hardshell]] is mentioned in this game but does not make a physical appearance.

As with the console version, the game is a crossover between the [[Movie continuity]] and the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned continuity]] begun with ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', and features over fifty Transformers characters, slightly more than the console version.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/new-rise-of-the-dark-spark-preview-from-game-informer-179722/</ref> The game was released on [[June 24]], [[2014]].

==Gameplay==
The standard gameplay is similar to that of ''[[Transformers G1: Awakening]]'' - there is a flat map, broken into squares, around which the player and computer take turns moving their characters. For story sections, an image of the character appears on-screen along with their dialog in both written and spoken form.

When the characters attack each other, the battle mode uses three-dimensional graphics to display the turn-based combat. The battle takes place according to the following rules: each turn in combat gains points that can be spent on one of seven different attacks, which from requiring one point to punch to super-attacks that need to accumulate points over a few turn. You can also block the attack of the enemy. During the fighting the characters gain experience, and Transformers' stats increase with their level. Furthermore, 32 units are support units who only have a brief [[bio]] and image of that character, in-game providing certain bonuses in battle.

==Synopsis==
===Signs of Trouble===
*''Playable units:'' [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]]
[[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] mounts an attack on an [[Earth]] city, which [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] suspects may be related to a [[Dark Spark|mysterious object]] that the [[Autobot]]s had recently detected. [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] deals with the [[Shadow Raider|mercenaries]] at his position before heading to regroup with his comrades.
===Procuring Firepower===
*''Playable units:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]]
The reunited Autobots break the attackers' line of defense to recover three weapons caches, allowing them to step up their counterattack. They subsequently make their way towards the impact crater of the unknown artifact.
===Divide and Conquer===
*''Playable units:'' Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
At the Dark Spark's location, Lockdown's troops activate turrets to defend against the incoming Autobots. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] joins the fight, but the mercenaries retreat to Lockdown's ship with the artifact before they are overrun.

*''Playable units:'' [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
Unable to take off due to heavy fire, Lockdown and his troops are forced to defend their ship against an Autobot assault that includes Prime, Bumblebee and Drift.

===Entering the Ancient Tombs===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
On another universe's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] has dispatched his [[Decepticon]]s to track down the Dark Spark, seeking to use the artifact to end the war.

*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Sharpshot]]
The vault's entrance is blocked by an acid jet, so the trio activate four control panels whilst fending off further Insecticons. Beyond the deactivated acid, however, is [[Sharpshot]], another powerful Insecticon. He is defeated in battle, but Shockwave proposes an alliance, as Sharpshot, Kickback and [[Hardshell]] can influence the lower Insecticons. Sharpshot agrees, and the new allies proceed.

===Errors===
===Trivia===
[[File:Transformers- Rise of the Dark Spark Landmine support unit.jpg|250px|thumb]]
*The Support Units featured in the game are depicted as follows:
**[[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] in his 2007 Deluxe Class toy body.
**Earth (Movieverse) [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] is in his 2007 Voyager Class toy body while Cybertron (Aligned) [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]] roughly resembles [[Thundercracker (G1)|Generation 1 Thundercracker]].
**[[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] is heavily based off his Voyager Class toy body from the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] portion of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 toyline]], a redeco of [[Long Haul (ROTF)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Long Haul]].
**[[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] is in his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Scout Class toy body and not one identical to Landmine's. As for [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]], he is more in line with his ''Revenge'' Scout Class toy body as well.
**[[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]], who makes a voice-over appearance in the console version, roughly resembles [[Perceptor (G1)|G1 Perceptor]]. The same thing applies to [[Huffer (Prime)|Huf]][[Huffer (G1)|fer]], [[Ramjet (WFC)|Ram]][[Ramjet (G1)|jet]], [[Skywarp (WFC)|Sky]][[Skywarp (G1)|warp]], and [[Dirge (WFC)|Dir]][[Dirge (G1)|ge]].
**[[Scattorshot (ROTF)|Scattershot]] is straight from ''Revenge of the Fallen'', yet his name is spelled Scattershot in this game.
**The Rollbar featured in the game is essentially [[Rollbar (RPM)|''Robot Powered Machines'' Rollbar]], but with the design of [[Rollbar (ROTF)|another Rollbar]] with the Scout Class toy that turns into a delivery van.
**[[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]] is [[The Transformers (toyline)|G1 toy]] blue and [[Rumble (WFC)|Rumble]] is [[The Transformers (cartoon)|G1 cartoon]] purplish-blue, in an unusual twist on the [[FIRRIB]] debate.
**[[Steeljaw (FOC)|Steeljaw]], [[Eject (FOC)|Eject]], [[Rewind (FOC)|Rewind]], and [[Ramhorn (FOC)|Ramhorn]] are based off their ''Fall of Cybertron'' toys from the ''Generations'' toyline.
**[[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] is in his [[Dark of the Moon (video games)|''Dark of the Moon'' video game]] body.
**[[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] are all straight from the Deluxe Class portion of the 2007 Movie toyline.
**[[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] is in his original toy's colors whereas [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] is redecoed from him, though the redeco was later repurposed as another form of Wreckage.
**[[Gears (ROTDS)|Gears]] and [[Windcharger (ROTDS)|Windcharger]] are new "Aligned" characters based off their [[Gears (G1)|Generation 1]] [[Windcharger (G1)|counterparts]].
**[[Scavenger (Prime)|Scavenger]] and [[Hook (Prime)|Hook]] have previously appeared in "Aligned" novels, so they are finally given proper physical appearances based off [[Scavenger (G1)|their G1]] [[Hook (G1)|counterparts]].
*[[Hardshell]] is mentioned in this game but does not make a physical appearance.

===Procuring Firepower===
*''Playable units:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]]

*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
At the Dark Spark's location, Lockdown's troops activate turrets to defend against the incoming Autobots. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] joins the fight, but the mercenaries retreat to Lockdown's ship with the artifact before they are overrun.

*''Playable units:'' [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
Unable to take off due to heavy fire, Lockdown and his troops are forced to defend their ship against an Autobot assault that includes Prime, Bumblebee and Drift. Optimus pleads with the mercenary not to use the Dark Spark, having learned of its nature through the [[Matrix of Leadership]], but Lockdown successfully escapes with the dangerous object.
===Entering the Ancient Tombs===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
On another universe's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] has dispatched his [[Decepticon]]s to track down the Dark Spark, seeking to use the artifact to end the war. Entering tombs believed to hold the Dark Spark, [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] and [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] are attacked by [[Insecticon (WFC)|primitive insect creatures]], but fight their way through.

*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Sharpshot]]
The vault's entrance is blocked by an acid jet, so the trio activate four control panels whilst fending off further Insecticons. Beyond the deactivated acid, however, is [[Sharpshot]], another powerful Insecticon.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*The game takes place both on the [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' universe and [[Earth]] of the movie and Generation 1 universes.

===Errors===
===Trivia===
[[File:Transformers- Rise of the Dark Spark Landmine support unit.jpg|250px|thumb]]
*The Support Units featured in the game are depicted as follows:
**[[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] in his 2007 Deluxe Class toy body.
**Earth (Movieverse) [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] is in his 2007 Voyager Class toy body while Cybertron (Aligned) [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]] roughly resembles [[Thundercracker (G1)|Generation 1 Thundercracker]].
**[[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] is heavily based off his Voyager Class toy body from the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] portion of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 toyline]], a redeco of [[Long Haul (ROTF)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Long Haul]].
**[[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] is in his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Scout Class toy body and not one identical to Landmine's. As for [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]], he is more in line with his ''Revenge'' Scout Class toy body as well.
**[[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]], who makes a voice-over appearance in the console version, roughly resembles [[Perceptor (G1)|G1 Perceptor]]. The same thing applies to [[Huffer (Prime)|Huf]][[Huffer (G1)|fer]], [[Ramjet (WFC)|Ram]][[Ramjet (G1)|jet]], [[Skywarp (WFC)|Sky]][[Skywarp (G1)|warp]], and [[Dirge (WFC)|Dir]][[Dirge (G1)|ge]].
**[[Scattorshot (ROTF)|Scattershot]] is straight from ''Revenge of the Fallen'', yet his name is spelled Scattershot in this game.
**The Rollbar featured in the game is essentially [[Rollbar (RPM)|''Robot Powered Machines'' Rollbar]], but with the design of [[Rollbar (ROTF)|another Rollbar]] with the Scout Class toy that turns into a delivery van.
**[[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]] is [[The Transformers (toyline)|G1 toy]] blue and [[Rumble (WFC)|Rumble]] is [[The Transformers (cartoon)|G1 cartoon]] purplish-blue, in an unusual twist on the [[FIRRIB]] debate.
**[[Steeljaw (FOC)|Steeljaw]], [[Eject (FOC)|Eject]], [[Rewind (FOC)|Rewind]], and [[Ramhorn (FOC)|Ramhorn]] are based off their ''Fall of Cybertron'' toys from the ''Generations'' toyline.
**[[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] is in his [[Dark of the Moon (video games)|''Dark of the Moon'' video game]] body.
**[[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] are all straight from the Deluxe Class portion of the 2007 Movie toyline.
**[[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] is in his original toy's colors whereas [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] is redecoed from him, though the redeco was later repurposed as another form of Wreckage.
**[[Gears (ROTDS)|Gears]] and [[Windcharger (ROTDS)|Windcharger]] are new "Aligned" characters based off their [[Gears (G1)|Generation 1]] [[Windcharger (G1)|counterparts]].
**[[Scavenger (Prime)|Scavenger]] and [[Hook (Prime)|Hook]] have previously appeared in "Aligned" novels, so they are finally given proper physical appearances based off [[Scavenger (G1)|their G1]] [[Hook (G1)|counterparts]].
*[[Hardshell]] is mentioned in this game but does not make a physical appearance.

'''''Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark''''' is the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark]]'' console game, a strategy RPG rather than the action/shooter of the console version,<ref>[http://www.examiner.com/article/transformers-rise-of-the-dark-spark-announced-3ds-version-to-be-strategy-rpg "Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark" announced; 3DS version to be Strategy RPG]</ref> developed by [[WayForward]]. As with the console version, the game is a crossover between the [[Movie continuity]] and the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned continuity]] begun with ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', and features over fifty Transformers characters, slightly more than the console version.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/new-rise-of-the-dark-spark-preview-from-game-informer-179722/</ref> The game was released on [[June 24]], [[2014]].

==Gameplay==
The standard gameplay is similar to that of ''[[Transformers G1: Awakening]]'' - there is a flat map, broken into squares, around which the player and computer take turns moving their characters. For story sections, an image of the character appears on-screen along with their dialog in both written and spoken form.

When the characters attack each other, the battle mode uses three-dimensional graphics to display the turn-based combat. The battle takes place according to the following rules: each turn in combat gains points that can be spent on one of seven different attacks, which from requiring one point to punch to super-attacks that need to accumulate points over a few turn. You can also block the attack of the enemy. During the fighting the characters gain experience, and Transformers' stats increase with their level. Furthermore, 32 units are support units who only have a brief [[bio]] and image of that character, in-game providing certain bonuses in battle.

==Synopsis==
===Signs of Trouble===
*''Playable units:'' [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]]
[[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] mounts an attack on an [[Earth]] city, which [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] suspects may be related to a [[Dark Spark|mysterious object]] that the [[Autobot]]s had recently detected. [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] deals with the [[Shadow Raider|mercenaries]] at his position before heading to regroup with his comrades.
===Procuring Firepower===
*''Playable units:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]]
The reunited Autobots break the attackers' line of defense to recover three weapons caches, allowing them to step up their counterattack. They subsequently make their way towards the impact crater of the unknown artifact.
===Divide and Conquer===
*''Playable units:'' Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
At the Dark Spark's location, Lockdown's troops activate turrets to defend against the incoming Autobots. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] joins the fight, but the mercenaries retreat to Lockdown's ship with the artifact before they are overrun.
===The Dark Spark===
*''Playable units:'' [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
Unable to take off due to heavy fire, Lockdown and his troops are forced to defend their ship against an Autobot assault that includes Prime, Bumblebee and Drift. Optimus pleads with the mercenary not to use the Dark Spark, having learned of its nature through the [[Matrix of Leadership]], but Lockdown successfully escapes with the dangerous object.
===Entering the Ancient Tombs===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
On another universe's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] has dispatched his [[Decepticon]]s to track down the Dark Spark, seeking to use the artifact to end the war. Entering tombs believed to hold the Dark Spark, [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] and [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] are attacked by [[Insecticon (WFC)|primitive insect creatures]], but fight their way through.
===A Plague of Insecticons===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]]
Moving further into the ruins, the Decepticons are forced to fight off more Insecticons, including the more powerful [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]], whilst waiting for a large door to open. With the threat ended, they reach the Dark Spark's vault.
===Unsealing the Vault===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Sharpshot]]
The vault's entrance is blocked by an acid jet, so the trio activate four control panels whilst fending off further Insecticons. Beyond the deactivated acid, however, is [[Sharpshot]], another powerful Insecticon. He is defeated in battle, but Shockwave proposes an alliance, as Sharpshot, Kickback and [[Hardshell]] can influence the lower Insecticons. Sharpshot agrees, and the new allies proceed.

===Turning the Tables===

*''Bosses:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
Whilst the Decepticons are occupied with the Insecticons, [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]] sneak into the opened vault and take the Dark Spark.

The Autobots regroup with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s team at a train station, but a swarm of Insecticons arrive before they can flee with the Dark Spark. The team holds its own until a train arrives, but as they leave aboard, the Decepticons detonate explosives on the line.
===After the Crash===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]
Arriving at the site of the train crash, the Decepticons recover the Dark Spark, but encounter resistance from the Autobots. They make short work of their enemies, before heading out to return the artifact to Megatron.

*''Playable units:'' [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], [[Swindle (FOC)|Swindle]], [[Sharpshot]]

The Decepticons approach the location of the other [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticons]], and, following orders from Megatron relayed by [[Slipstream (WFC)|Slipstream]], they protect the elite team as they prepare to combine into [[Bruticus (WFC)|Bruticus]]. The combiner is successfully formed, and the Decepticons prepare to sit back and watch as the giant tears away the Autobots.
===Bruticus Awakens===
*''Playable units:'' [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]], [[Slipstream (WFC)|Slipstream]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*The game takes place both on the [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' universe and [[Earth]] of the movie and Generation 1 universes.

===Errors===
===Trivia===
[[File:Transformers- Rise of the Dark Spark Landmine support unit.jpg|250px|thumb]]
*The Support Units featured in the game are depicted as follows:
**[[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] in his 2007 Deluxe Class toy body.
**Earth (Movieverse) [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] is in his 2007 Voyager Class toy body while Cybertron (Aligned) [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]] roughly resembles [[Thundercracker (G1)|Generation 1 Thundercracker]].
**[[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] is heavily based off his Voyager Class toy body from the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] portion of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 toyline]], a redeco of [[Long Haul (ROTF)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Long Haul]].
**[[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] is in his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Scout Class toy body and not one identical to Landmine's. As for [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]], he is more in line with his ''Revenge'' Scout Class toy body as well.
**[[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]], who makes a voice-over appearance in the console version, roughly resembles [[Perceptor (G1)|G1 Perceptor]]. The same thing applies to [[Huffer (Prime)|Huf]][[Huffer (G1)|fer]], [[Ramjet (WFC)|Ram]][[Ramjet (G1)|jet]], [[Skywarp (WFC)|Sky]][[Skywarp (G1)|warp]], and [[Dirge (WFC)|Dir]][[Dirge (G1)|ge]].
**[[Scattorshot (ROTF)|Scattershot]] is straight from ''Revenge of the Fallen'', yet his name is spelled Scattershot in this game.
**The Rollbar featured in the game is essentially [[Rollbar (RPM)|''Robot Powered Machines'' Rollbar]], but with the design of [[Rollbar (ROTF)|another Rollbar]] with the Scout Class toy that turns into a delivery van.
**[[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]] is [[The Transformers (toyline)|G1 toy]] blue and [[Rumble (WFC)|Rumble]] is [[The Transformers (cartoon)|G1 cartoon]] purplish-blue, in an unusual twist on the [[FIRRIB]] debate.
**[[Steeljaw (FOC)|Steeljaw]], [[Eject (FOC)|Eject]], [[Rewind (FOC)|Rewind]], and [[Ramhorn (FOC)|Ramhorn]] are based off their ''Fall of Cybertron'' toys from the ''Generations'' toyline.
**[[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] is in his [[Dark of the Moon (video games)|''Dark of the Moon'' video game]] body.
**[[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] are all straight from the Deluxe Class portion of the 2007 Movie toyline.
**[[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] is in his original toy's colors whereas [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] is redecoed from him, though the redeco was later repurposed as another form of Wreckage.
**[[Gears (ROTDS)|Gears]] and [[Windcharger (ROTDS)|Windcharger]] are new "Aligned" characters based off their [[Gears (G1)|Generation 1]] [[Windcharger (G1)|counterparts]].
**[[Scavenger (Prime)|Scavenger]] and [[Hook (Prime)|Hook]] have previously appeared in "Aligned" novels, so they are finally given proper physical appearances based off [[Scavenger (G1)|their G1]] [[Hook (G1)|counterparts]].
*[[Hardshell]] is mentioned in this game but does not make a physical appearance.

'''''Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark''''' is the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark]]'' console game, a strategy RPG rather than the action/shooter of the console version,<ref>[http://www.examiner.com/article/transformers-rise-of-the-dark-spark-announced-3ds-version-to-be-strategy-rpg "Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark" announced; 3DS version to be Strategy RPG]</ref> developed by [[WayForward]]. As with the console version, the game is a crossover between the [[Movie continuity]] and the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned continuity]] begun with ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', and features over fifty Transformers characters, slightly more than the console version.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/new-rise-of-the-dark-spark-preview-from-game-informer-179722/</ref> The game was released on [[June 24]], [[2014]].

==Gameplay==
The standard gameplay is similar to that of ''[[Transformers G1: Awakening]]'' - there is a flat map, broken into squares, around which the player and computer take turns moving their characters. For story sections, an image of the character appears on-screen along with their dialog in both written and spoken form.

When the characters attack each other, the battle mode uses three-dimensional graphics to display the turn-based combat. The battle takes place according to the following rules: each turn in combat gains points that can be spent on one of seven different attacks, which from requiring one point to punch to super-attacks that need to accumulate points over a few turn. You can also block the attack of the enemy. During the fighting the characters gain experience, and Transformers' stats increase with their level. Furthermore, 32 units are support units who only have a brief [[bio]] and image of that character, in-game providing certain bonuses in battle.

==Synopsis==
===Signs of Trouble===
*''Playable units:'' [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]]
[[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] mounts an attack on an [[Earth]] city, which [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] suspects may be related to a [[Dark Spark|mysterious object]] that the [[Autobot]]s had recently detected. [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] deals with the [[Shadow Raider|mercenaries]] at his position before heading to regroup with his comrades.
===Procuring Firepower===
*''Playable units:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]]
The reunited Autobots break the attackers' line of defense to recover three weapons caches, allowing them to step up their counterattack. They subsequently make their way towards the impact crater of the unknown artifact.
===Divide and Conquer===
*''Playable units:'' Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
At the Dark Spark's location, Lockdown's troops activate turrets to defend against the incoming Autobots. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] joins the fight, but the mercenaries retreat to Lockdown's ship with the artifact before they are overrun.
===The Dark Spark===
*''Playable units:'' [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
Unable to take off due to heavy fire, Lockdown and his troops are forced to defend their ship against an Autobot assault that includes Prime, Bumblebee and Drift. Optimus pleads with the mercenary not to use the Dark Spark, having learned of its nature through the [[Matrix of Leadership]], but Lockdown successfully escapes with the dangerous object.
===Entering the Ancient Tombs===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
On another universe's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] has dispatched his [[Decepticon]]s to track down the Dark Spark, seeking to use the artifact to end the war. Entering tombs believed to hold the Dark Spark, [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] and [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] are attacked by [[Insecticon (WFC)|primitive insect creatures]], but fight their way through.
===A Plague of Insecticons===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]]
Moving further into the ruins, the Decepticons are forced to fight off more Insecticons, including the more powerful [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]], whilst waiting for a large door to open. With the threat ended, they reach the Dark Spark's vault.
===Unsealing the Vault===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Sharpshot]]
The vault's entrance is blocked by an acid jet, so the trio activate four control panels whilst fending off further Insecticons. Beyond the deactivated acid, however, is [[Sharpshot]], another powerful Insecticon. He is defeated in battle, but Shockwave proposes an alliance, as Sharpshot, Kickback and [[Hardshell]] can influence the lower Insecticons. Sharpshot agrees, and the new allies proceed.

===Turning the Tables===
*''Playable units:'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
Whilst the Decepticons are occupied with the Insecticons, [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]] sneak into the opened vault and take the Dark Spark. As the Autobots fight Insecticons on their way out, Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave arrive, but Arcee's team fight their way through to make an escape.
===The Great Train Escape===
*''Playable units:'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]
The Autobots regroup with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s team at a train station, but a swarm of Insecticons arrive before they can flee with the Dark Spark. The team holds its own until a train arrives, but as they leave aboard, the Decepticons detonate explosives on the line.
===After the Crash===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]

The combiner is successfully formed, and the Decepticons prepare to sit back and watch as the giant tears away the Autobots.

With no other option, Optimus Prime unleashes the power of the Matrix of Leadership, knocking the Dark Spark away from Megatron into space.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*The game takes place both on the [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' universe and [[Earth]] of the movie and Generation 1 universes.

===Errors===
===Trivia===
[[File:Transformers- Rise of the Dark Spark Landmine support unit.jpg|250px|thumb]]
*The Support Units featured in the game are depicted as follows:
**[[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] in his 2007 Deluxe Class toy body.
**Earth (Movieverse) [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] is in his 2007 Voyager Class toy body while Cybertron (Aligned) [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]] roughly resembles [[Thundercracker (G1)|Generation 1 Thundercracker]].
**[[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] is heavily based off his Voyager Class toy body from the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] portion of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 toyline]], a redeco of [[Long Haul (ROTF)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Long Haul]].
**[[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] is in his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Scout Class toy body and not one identical to Landmine's. As for [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]], he is more in line with his ''Revenge'' Scout Class toy body as well.
**[[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]], who makes a voice-over appearance in the console version, roughly resembles [[Perceptor (G1)|G1 Perceptor]]. The same thing applies to [[Huffer (Prime)|Huf]][[Huffer (G1)|fer]], [[Ramjet (WFC)|Ram]][[Ramjet (G1)|jet]], [[Skywarp (WFC)|Sky]][[Skywarp (G1)|warp]], and [[Dirge (WFC)|Dir]][[Dirge (G1)|ge]].
**[[Scattorshot (ROTF)|Scattershot]] is straight from ''Revenge of the Fallen'', yet his name is spelled Scattershot in this game.
**The Rollbar featured in the game is essentially [[Rollbar (RPM)|''Robot Powered Machines'' Rollbar]], but with the design of [[Rollbar (ROTF)|another Rollbar]] with the Scout Class toy that turns into a delivery van.
**[[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]] is [[The Transformers (toyline)|G1 toy]] blue and [[Rumble (WFC)|Rumble]] is [[The Transformers (cartoon)|G1 cartoon]] purplish-blue, in an unusual twist on the [[FIRRIB]] debate.
**[[Steeljaw (FOC)|Steeljaw]], [[Eject (FOC)|Eject]], [[Rewind (FOC)|Rewind]], and [[Ramhorn (FOC)|Ramhorn]] are based off their ''Fall of Cybertron'' toys from the ''Generations'' toyline.
**[[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] is in his [[Dark of the Moon (video games)|''Dark of the Moon'' video game]] body.
**[[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] are all straight from the Deluxe Class portion of the 2007 Movie toyline.
**[[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] is in his original toy's colors whereas [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] is redecoed from him, though the redeco was later repurposed as another form of Wreckage.
**[[Gears (ROTDS)|Gears]] and [[Windcharger (ROTDS)|Windcharger]] are new "Aligned" characters based off their [[Gears (G1)|Generation 1]] [[Windcharger (G1)|counterparts]].
**[[Scavenger (Prime)|Scavenger]] and [[Hook (Prime)|Hook]] have previously appeared in "Aligned" novels, so they are finally given proper physical appearances based off [[Scavenger (G1)|their G1]] [[Hook (G1)|counterparts]].
*[[Hardshell]] is mentioned in this game but does not make a physical appearance.

'''''Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark''''' is the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark]]'' console game, a strategy RPG rather than the action/shooter of the console version,<ref>[http://www.examiner.com/article/transformers-rise-of-the-dark-spark-announced-3ds-version-to-be-strategy-rpg "Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark" announced; 3DS version to be Strategy RPG]</ref> developed by [[WayForward]]. As with the console version, the game is a crossover between the [[Movie continuity]] and the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned continuity]] begun with ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', and features over fifty Transformers characters, slightly more than the console version.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/new-rise-of-the-dark-spark-preview-from-game-informer-179722/</ref> The game was released on [[June 24]], [[2014]].

==Gameplay==
The standard gameplay is similar to that of ''[[Transformers G1: Awakening]]'' - there is a flat map, broken into squares, around which the player and computer take turns moving their characters. For story sections, an image of the character appears on-screen along with their dialog in both written and spoken form.

When the characters attack each other, the battle mode uses three-dimensional graphics to display the turn-based combat. The battle takes place according to the following rules: each turn in combat gains points that can be spent on one of seven different attacks, which from requiring one point to punch to super-attacks that need to accumulate points over a few turn. You can also block the attack of the enemy. During the fighting the characters gain experience, and Transformers' stats increase with their level. Furthermore, 32 units are support units who only have a brief [[bio]] and image of that character, in-game providing certain bonuses in battle.

==Synopsis==
===Signs of Trouble===
*''Playable units:'' [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]]
[[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] mounts an attack on an [[Earth]] city, which [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] suspects may be related to a [[Dark Spark|mysterious object]] that the [[Autobot]]s had recently detected. [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] deals with the [[Shadow Raider|mercenaries]] at his position before heading to regroup with his comrades.
===Procuring Firepower===
*''Playable units:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]]
The reunited Autobots break the attackers' line of defense to recover three weapons caches, allowing them to step up their counterattack. They subsequently make their way towards the impact crater of the unknown artifact.
===Divide and Conquer===
*''Playable units:'' Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
At the Dark Spark's location, Lockdown's troops activate turrets to defend against the incoming Autobots. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] joins the fight, but the mercenaries retreat to Lockdown's ship with the artifact before they are overrun.
===The Dark Spark===
*''Playable units:'' [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
Unable to take off due to heavy fire, Lockdown and his troops are forced to defend their ship against an Autobot assault that includes Prime, Bumblebee and Drift. Optimus pleads with the mercenary not to use the Dark Spark, having learned of its nature through the [[Matrix of Leadership]], but Lockdown successfully escapes with the dangerous object.
===Entering the Ancient Tombs===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
On another universe's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] has dispatched his [[Decepticon]]s to track down the Dark Spark, seeking to use the artifact to end the war. Entering tombs believed to hold the Dark Spark, [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] and [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] are attacked by [[Insecticon (WFC)|primitive insect creatures]], but fight their way through.
===A Plague of Insecticons===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]]
Moving further into the ruins, the Decepticons are forced to fight off more Insecticons, including the more powerful [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]], whilst waiting for a large door to open. With the threat ended, they reach the Dark Spark's vault.
===Unsealing the Vault===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Sharpshot]]
The vault's entrance is blocked by an acid jet, so the trio activate four control panels whilst fending off further Insecticons. Beyond the deactivated acid, however, is [[Sharpshot]], another powerful Insecticon. He is defeated in battle, but Shockwave proposes an alliance, as Sharpshot, Kickback and [[Hardshell]] can influence the lower Insecticons. Sharpshot agrees, and the new allies proceed.

===Turning the Tables===
*''Playable units:'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
Whilst the Decepticons are occupied with the Insecticons, [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]] sneak into the opened vault and take the Dark Spark. As the Autobots fight Insecticons on their way out, Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave arrive, but Arcee's team fight their way through to make an escape.
===The Great Train Escape===
*''Playable units:'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]
The Autobots regroup with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s team at a train station, but a swarm of Insecticons arrive before they can flee with the Dark Spark. The team holds its own until a train arrives, but as they leave aboard, the Decepticons detonate explosives on the line.
===After the Crash===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]
Arriving at the site of the train crash, the Decepticons recover the Dark Spark, but encounter resistance from the Autobots. They make short work of their enemies, before heading out to return the artifact to Megatron.
===The Outskirts of Kaon===
*''Playable units:'' [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], [[Swindle (FOC)|Swindle]], [[Sharpshot]]
The Decepticons rendezvous with [[Swindle (FOC)|Swindle]] at the gates to [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], which are heavily guarded by Autobot troops. They overrun the position and blast their way through the first gate.

The Decepticons approach the location of the other [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticons]], and, following orders from Megatron relayed by [[Slipstream (WFC)|Slipstream]], they protect the elite team as they prepare to combine into [[Bruticus (WFC)|Bruticus]]. The combiner is successfully formed, and the Decepticons prepare to sit back and watch as the giant tears away the Autobots.

The Autobots pursue Bruticus to the edge of [[Kolkular]], where the combiner positions himself near a pair of generators. The team fights their way forward, repeatedly overloading the generators until their discharge defeats Bruticus.
===Attack on Kolkular===
*''Playable units:'' [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Sharpshot]], [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]], [[Slipstream (WFC)|Slipstream]], Heavy Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]]
Making their way across Kolkular towards Megatron, the Decepticon party carrying the Dark Spark come under siege from Autobots in city's research facility. They activate the facility's defences and repel the invaders before continuing on their way.

===Contingency Plan, Pt. 1===
*''Playable units:'' [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]], Recon Soldier, Assault Soldier ×2
[[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] is given orders by Optimus to infiltrate the remains of [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] and fire the behemoth's primary weapon at Kolkular. The aerial Autobot meets up with reinforcements, and they fight past Decepticon guards into Trypticon's interior.
===Contingency Plan, Pt. 2===

*''Playable units:'' [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]], Recon Soldier, Assault Soldier ×2

*''Playable units:'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], Heavy Soldier, Assault Soldier
Optimus and his allies confront Megatron at Shockwave's lab, but the Decepticon leader harnesses the power of the Dark Spark to raise fallen Autobots as undead slaves. They fight through wave after wave of enthralled slaves until Megatron himself joins the fight, but the Dark Spark renders the Decepticon unbeatable. With no other option, Optimus Prime unleashes the power of the Matrix of Leadership, knocking the Dark Spark away from Megatron into space. With the dark artifact no longer a threat, the Autobots return to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and their last hope – the [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]].

'''''Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark''''' is the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark]]'' console game, a strategy RPG rather than the action/shooter of the console version,<ref>[http://www.examiner.com/article/transformers-rise-of-the-dark-spark-announced-3ds-version-to-be-strategy-rpg "Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark" announced; 3DS version to be Strategy RPG]</ref> developed by [[WayForward]]. As with the console version, the game is a crossover between the [[Movie continuity]] and the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned continuity]] begun with ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', and features over fifty Transformers characters, slightly more than the console version.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/new-rise-of-the-dark-spark-preview-from-game-informer-179722/</ref> The game was released on [[June 24]], [[2014]].

==Gameplay==
The standard gameplay is similar to that of ''[[Transformers G1: Awakening]]'' - there is a flat map, broken into squares, around which the player and computer take turns moving their characters. For story sections, an image of the character appears on-screen along with their dialog in both written and spoken form.

When the characters attack each other, the battle mode uses three-dimensional graphics to display the turn-based combat. The battle takes place according to the following rules: each turn in combat gains points that can be spent on one of seven different attacks, which from requiring one point to punch to super-attacks that need to accumulate points over a few turn. You can also block the attack of the enemy. During the fighting the characters gain experience, and Transformers' stats increase with their level. Furthermore, 32 units are support units who only have a brief [[bio]] and image of that character, in-game providing certain bonuses in battle.

==Synopsis==
===Signs of Trouble===
*''Playable units:'' [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]]
[[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] mounts an attack on an [[Earth]] city, which [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] suspects may be related to a [[Dark Spark|mysterious object]] that the [[Autobot]]s had recently detected. [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] deals with the [[Shadow Raider|mercenaries]] at his position before heading to regroup with his comrades.
===Procuring Firepower===
*''Playable units:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]]
The reunited Autobots break the attackers' line of defense to recover three weapons caches, allowing them to step up their counterattack. They subsequently make their way towards the impact crater of the unknown artifact.
===Divide and Conquer===
*''Playable units:'' Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
At the Dark Spark's location, Lockdown's troops activate turrets to defend against the incoming Autobots. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] joins the fight, but the mercenaries retreat to Lockdown's ship with the artifact before they are overrun.
===The Dark Spark===
*''Playable units:'' [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], Heavy Soldier ×2, Assault Soldier
*''Bosses:'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]
Unable to take off due to heavy fire, Lockdown and his troops are forced to defend their ship against an Autobot assault that includes Prime, Bumblebee and Drift. Optimus pleads with the mercenary not to use the Dark Spark, having learned of its nature through the [[Matrix of Leadership]], but Lockdown successfully escapes with the dangerous object.
===Entering the Ancient Tombs===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
On another universe's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] has dispatched his [[Decepticon]]s to track down the Dark Spark, seeking to use the artifact to end the war. Entering tombs believed to hold the Dark Spark, [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] and [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] are attacked by [[Insecticon (WFC)|primitive insect creatures]], but fight their way through.
===A Plague of Insecticons===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]]
Moving further into the ruins, the Decepticons are forced to fight off more Insecticons, including the more powerful [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]], whilst waiting for a large door to open. With the threat ended, they reach the Dark Spark's vault.
===Unsealing the Vault===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Sharpshot]]
The vault's entrance is blocked by an acid jet, so the trio activate four control panels whilst fending off further Insecticons. Beyond the deactivated acid, however, is [[Sharpshot]], another powerful Insecticon. He is defeated in battle, but Shockwave proposes an alliance, as Sharpshot, Kickback and [[Hardshell]] can influence the lower Insecticons. Sharpshot agrees, and the new allies proceed.

===Turning the Tables===
*''Playable units:'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
Whilst the Decepticons are occupied with the Insecticons, [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]] sneak into the opened vault and take the Dark Spark. As the Autobots fight Insecticons on their way out, Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave arrive, but Arcee's team fight their way through to make an escape.
===The Great Train Escape===
*''Playable units:'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]
The Autobots regroup with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s team at a train station, but a swarm of Insecticons arrive before they can flee with the Dark Spark. The team holds its own until a train arrives, but as they leave aboard, the Decepticons detonate explosives on the line.
===After the Crash===
*''Playable units:'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]
*''Bosses:'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]]

===The Outskirts of Kaon===
*''Playable units:'' [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], [[Swindle (FOC)|Swindle]], [[Sharpshot]]

With no other option, Optimus Prime unleashes the power of the Matrix of Leadership, knocking the Dark Spark away from Megatron into space.
