			== My Transformers: Rescue Bots Adventure ==

			I found out that someone added "My Transformers: Rescue Bots Adventure" to the Flashpoint Archive, an always-growing collection of online games, mainly ones using Flash, Shockwave, and Unity.

			According to the notes, the game's branching paths have been rebuilt using the TweeVee engine developed by MolleIndustria and that "choosing to not go to the firehouse in the final choice will cause the Water option to appear for a brief moment instead of the firehouse option. This is because the video for this specific scenario is unavailable, however, it doesn't affect the flow of the game."

			So, it seems to be MOSTLY available. If anyone else could kindly check it out, see what it's got, and update the lost media page (and the game's page, if anyone has the time), that would be great. I'd do it myself, but I've got better things to do tonight. --[[User:Chugway1138\|Chugway1138]] ([[User talk:Chugway1138\|talk]]) 20:33, 5 May 2026 (EDT)
