"Memories and Salvation" is an adventure scenario released as a part of the Field Guide to Action and Adventure sourcebook, which brings together characters from Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Power Rangers. The adventure is designed for three to five 2nd-level players.

Three villains from different backgrounds—the Junkion Scrapheap, Prototype Tezzla of the Machine Empire, and the Dreadnok Zandar—have joined forces to weaponize memoria, a unique enzyme capable of manipulating the memories of sentient beings. This "Unforgettable Alliance" have taken over a scrapyard in Homestead, Florida, and used this new headquarters to develop a range of memory-wiping weapons. However, Scrapheap has grown obsessed with developing a mechanical suit that will allow non-Cybertronians to combine with Transformers. The project requires a large amount of energon; to get the fuel he needs, Scrapheap has been stealing paradrium crystals from the locals. After a string of such thefts, a human entrepreneur named Simon Sabhaman has made the decision to move his crystal supply to a more secure storage. The unusual activity attracted the attention of G.I. Joe, who sent a team to investigate.

Meanwhile, T.J. Johnson, the Blue Space Ranger's fight against the Machine Empire brought him to Earth, where he encountered the Autobot Cosmos, who'd been on the trail of the missing paradrium. The two heroes mistook each other for enemies; as they fought, Prototype Tezzla blasted them both with memoria, leaving them disoriented.

At the Power Rangers Command Center, Alpha 5 has organized a rescue team to find T.J. and bring him back to base. Meanwhile, in The Pit, Chuckles briefs a unit of G.I. Joe soldiers on their mission to transport a load of paradrium crystals to a secure location—the idea of transporting extraterrestrial crystals of unknown origin draws the interest of Sci-Fi. Finally, in Tamiami, Ultra Magnus drops off a group of Autobots at a nearby supply cache, which contain a signal locator that will help them find Cosmos.

Part 1: Otherworldly Warehouse

All three groups arrive at the warehouse owned by Sabhaman's Otherworldly Curiosities at roughly the same time. However, the villains have gotten there first, captured Simon, and sent Zartan, masquerading as a warehouse worker, to distract the Joes as they load the crystals into the Cargo Caterpillar. Before long, however, the various heroes realize that something is amiss—they may find the disoriented T.J., discover one of the Prototype Cogs hiding in the warehouse, or discover Simon Sabhaman tied up in the break room, guarded by Prototype Tezzla. If the Autobots attempt to survey the area in their alternate modes, it's possible that the Unforgettable Alliance might see through their disguise and launch an attack.

Otherwise, Zandar distracts the Joes by unveiling Sabhaman's newest exhibit—a disoriented, mode-locked Cosmos—while the Prototype Cog soldiers attempt to hijack the Cargo Caterpillar and flee while the Joes are distracted. When combat begins, the other members of the Unforgettable Alliance regroup and flee atop Scrapheap, unless the heroes can stop them first. However, they might also want to try and stop the Cogs from loading up their purloined transport and fleeing with even more stolen paradrium crystals.

Part 2: Paradrium Shift

Depending on the results of the combat in the previous chapter, the players must choose how to focus their resources--with the assistance of Cosmos and an improvised flying vehicle borrowed from Sabhaman's warehouse, they may choose to either pursue the Cogs in their stolen Cargo Caterpillar, or attempt to bring in the members of the Unforgettable Alliance. These two options take the heroes across Florida in pursuit of the villains, with the intent of incapacitating them before they can return to their headquarters. Alternately, the heroes might also choose to regroup and investigate the warehouse itself, to search for clues on where their enemies might've gone. Either way, they eventually deduce that the Unforgettable Alliance is operating out of a scrapyard in Homestead, and move to stop them once and for all.

Part 3: Homestead Salvation

After arriving in Homestead, the heroes face down the mighty Unforgettatron, a three-way fusion wielding powerful memoria-based weapons. They may also take on The Machine, the combined form of three or more Cogs. In the ensuing battle, canny fighters may attempt to use a nearby electromagnet as an improvised weapon, or lure Unforgettatron into the scrapyard's car crusher.

If the players are defeated, then the villains use scramble their minds and flee, leaving them with no memory of the adventure; otherwise, the heroes defeat the villains, and gain a unique Perk that will benefit them any future crossover adventures.

Notes

Moreso than Renegade's other adventures, this game features a high number of branching paths and possible outcomes based on the actions the party takes in each chapter, mostly regarding to the nature of the final boss fight.
- If the heroes defeat Zandar before part 3, the Unforgettable Alliance do not have access to their memoria weapons for the final battle.
- If the players stop the Cogs, then the Unforgettable Alliance cannot use their combiner technology. If the Cogs escaped with a full load of paradrium, then all enemies with the Robotic perk gain an additional armor upgrade; if the Cargo Caterpillar was only partly loaded, then only the three main villains gain these upgrades.
- If at least three Cogs make it to the final battle and obtain an armor upgrade, they merge into The Machine; the players may have to face off against both Unforgettatron and The Machine.
- Unforgettatron's stats, Perks, and Abilities vary depending on which members of the Unforgettable Alliance are active.
- If the players somehow manage to defeat Scrapheap and at least one other member of the Unforgettable Alliance, then the final battle is instead fought against five Cogs, who all merge into The Machine.
- At the discretion of the GM, Cosmos, T.J., and Sci-Fi may stick around as Contacts for the rest of the adventure, or they might return to their individual headquarters while the players continue on without them.

Transformers references

Paradrium is noted to originate from the rings of Paradron, a planet from The Transformers season 3 episode "Fight or Flee"

Real-world references

If the players choose to investigate the warehouse for clues, the book uses the phrase "I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens," as a possible red herring the GM could use, an infamous meme that originated with the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Ancient Aliens|{{#if:||Ancient Aliens}}]] television show.
