In 2012, High Moon Studios released a new action. The game "Transformers: the battle for Cybertron" is another part of the popular project, which tells about the fierce struggle of robots for their home planet.
Short review
To a person who has not encountered early projects, the new part may seem simply magnificent. Models of two types of transformers are easy to distinguish. Key characters stand out for their exclusive design. And from one glance at the Omega Suprim and Triptikon breathtaking! But there are also disadvantages in the game. One of the weaknesses of the new part is the graphics. The Unreal Engine 3.0 engine does not require a powerful PC and produces a normal picture. But the design of the levels was bad. Most of the game takes place among the dark glands. Endless corridors and halls are bored already by the middle of the campaign. In "Transformers: War for Cybertron" the transition from one form of robots to another is clear, fast and stylish. In the world around, only monotonous locations upset.
The game begins with the fact that Megatron decided to capture a very powerful and unstable substance - a dark energy. Of course, they resisted him, but this did not stop the Decepticon. He was able to subjugate a new power. Now Megatron is left to kill the leader of the Autobots and capture Cybertron. The result of this battle will be clear after ten missions. Each task is quite long, and due to the lack of checkpoints, some levels will have to be completed several times. This is another minus of the game.
Passage "Transformers: the battle for Cybertron" will delight fans of Michael Bay. Characters voiced by the actors from the same series. Pathos melodies, explosions and other sounds are matched to the theme. This also applies to the Russian version. Optimus, Megotron and other characters of the Universe are given voices corresponding to the spirit.
The art and sketches in the new part look much better than in the previous ones. It is possible to view all the clips of the story campaign. The same innovation was recently in Toy Story-3 and Max Payne. Apparently, this is how developers want to show that they keep up with the times. After completing the assignment, it becomes possible to try out a new female fighter in a multiplayer game. There are few people so far.
Passage: "Transformers: the battle for Cybertron" - preparation for the battle
Before each mission, the player chooses one of three types of robots: scout, technician or fighter. The latter is most often played by Otpimus Prime or Megatron. The first can increase strength and armor for itself and its allies, and the second - deflate life. This is where the leaders differ from the rest. A scout can sometimes become invisible. The technician sets up a guard who shoots perfectly. In addition, he has an energy ray with which you can attack and restore strength. The second ability of transformers is flight, acceleration, an energy wave or a shield.
The ability to use weapons with robots destroys the very idea of dividing them into classes. On the other hand, you must always be prepared for any situation. It’s not interesting to shoot robots with cannons. And so the developers before each fight give the player the necessary weapons: for “fat” transformers - a machine gun, for snipers - a rifle with an eye, and before a raid - rocket launchers. Without such preparation, the task can not be dealt with. Allies can only temporarily divert fire. The main battle will have to lead themselves.
Passage of game "Transformers: the battle for Cybertron"
This is the first series in which robots appear in their original appearance. It will tell two stories at once. The first is dedicated to the battle of the Autobots for their home world. The second demonstrates the thirst for power of the Decepticons. In the game "Battle for Cybertron" appeared online mode and various multiplayer battles.
For many years there was a civil war on Cybertron. Megatron has found an ancient source of energy that will help defeat the Autobots. Dark energy is located in the bowels of the orbital station and is protected by Starsky. The challenge is for Megatron and a few more Decepticons to infiltrate a research station that revolves around Cybertron.
The passage of the game "Transformers: War for Cybertron" begins with the selection of a hero. Complete the training course and proceed to complete the missions.
Decepticons attack. At this point, the Battle for Cybertron game slows down and the opportunity arises to blow up enemies at long range. Optimus needs to quickly get out of the location. Run out with autobots from the door to the elevator. After unlocking them, move up to the bridge. He is engulfed in fire after the attack of the Decepticons. It is very important to get energy. Fast and high-quality passage of the game “Battle for Cybertron” is impossible without good shooting skills with both hands. You can train on Decepticons, who attack in the next room. Hiding in a convenient place, wait for the attack and destroy the enemies from the flank.
Having dealt with the opponents, move to the room with the panel. Behind the door at the end of the room are many enemies. You cannot shoot at them, otherwise you may damage the equipment. Quickly head to the enemy and start a close battle. The passage of "Transformers: War for Cybertron" at this level depends on the attentiveness of the player. The screen will display prompts with keys that you need to quickly press to perform a specific action.
Move forward. Having overcome a hole in the road, transform into Autobots. In the corridor, grab a grenade launcher and cartridges from the wall. Follow the signs until you see an overlapped space. Only Bumblebee can crawl into a small gap. Behind the wall, Optimus fights with Megatron. The latter is trying to shoot the leader of the Autobots. Bumblebee must save him.
Return to the past
In the new part, the actions move six hours ago before the start of the Megatron attack. The game is on behalf of Optimus.
Jumping off the platform, turn into a huge car and quickly move through the ruined city to the desired building. Help associates destroy the Decepticons and head to the doors. Set up explosives and leave the shelter. In the main center, pick up the device from the transformer and install it in the marked machine. There are many Decepticons at the side door. Wait for them to approach and detonate the bomb. Head to the artillery control center. Take Teletran new weapons.
Next, you will encounter a jumper. To defeat him, you need to shoot the engine from all sides. Passing the game "Transformers: Battle for Cybertron" at this stage requires a lot of effort, because after the reprisal against the first Jumper, three more of the same robots appear. Get rid of them in a similar way. Then move to the control panel and destroy the Marauder using artillery.
Go out through the open doors and head into the room with a team of Decepticons. Starksim is trying to crack down on the Autobots. Help him in this difficult mission. Then move towards Megatron. Call in air artillery and attack the enemy. After victory, head to the neural cannon. Destroy a boat with enemies along the way with a laser guidance. Having reached the gun, activate the weapon, then get down and get through the corridor by wire.
In Search of the Metroplex
The Decepticons want to destroy the refueling of the Ark. This cannot be allowed. Stop all enemy attacks. Move along the corridor to the brightest room, find the lever and activate the Metroplex. Head across the bridge to the warp gun with the new robot. Use the found weapon to fight off enemies. After their destruction, flee from the shelter, as the gun will explode. Continue on the empty field. Transform into a car. Marauders are preparing for the offensive. Only Metroplex can cope with it. Autobots at this time are fighting the Decepticons. The most important thing is not to get caught by the red laser. After the victory, climb through the gap and follow Warpath.
There will be many opponents along the way. The passage of the game "Transformers: Battle for Cybertron" at this stage should be carried out according to the following strategy: if the group is large (5-6 robots), then use Metroplex, if small - fight on your own. Most importantly, do not let opponents get very close.
When you reach the bridge, hide. Only Metroplex can deal with the Marauders and other emerging enemies. Near the gun is Starksim. He and his companions capture Autobots and want to take them to Megatron. The key to success at this stage of the game "Transformers: War for Cybertron" is to break free and run to Metroplex. Then you can control it again.
Jazz

Hook the charge on the wall, fill the ventilation, destroy the enemy. Move around the rooms in invisible mode. The trash compactor is activated. Take the elevator down. Pick up an audio magazine next to the killed transformer. You will need it further in the Battle for Cybertron game. Jump down and on the crane move to the elevator. Follow the signs until you meet the guard of the Decepticons. It must be attacked from a distance, and then finish off in close combat.
Passing "Transformers: The Battle of Cybertron" at this stage depends on the chosen tactics. The first option is to hide in corners in an invisible mode and move around the rooms at the time of the enemy’s distraction. The second is to shoot the Decepticons and calmly drive along the corridors. Whatever tactics you choose, the main thing is to quickly get into the room with Jazz. He was pressed by a pipe. Kill the guard quickly and release Jazz. Head to the next room together. With a special trick, your partner will quickly descend from the cliff. And you have to run down several levels and deal with enemies to get to the ally.
At the new meeting point, Jazz will help to disassemble a bunch of stones, get to the tunnel and install explosives. At the next location you will meet new enemies - snipe. Deal with them in close combat will not work. Will have to shoot without leaving the shelter. After the victory, Jazz reports that he heard a weak distress signal from the Autobots. He came from a great hole in the ground. In the control room, Jazz will install a bomb that will destroy all enemies with one blow. The hatch will also be damaged. You need to lay explosives to open a passage.
Change the look
The main feature of the game "Transformers: Battle for Cybertron" is the passage of different levels by third-party characters. This process begins with jazz.
Get down. Tear out all the luminous plants that interfere with the passage, and move to the ledge. You need to get to the premises with insecticons. To defeat the enemies, you have to run in a circle and shoot them in turn. Suddenly the tunnel is filled with poisonous gas. Quickly head towards the square. Use the hook to crawl to the top of the cliff.
Transform into a car and head for the adjacent doors with Cliffjumper. Move between platforms towards the lever. Next you need to get to the other side of the huge chain. Do not pay attention to the Decepticons. Use the hook to go down and get to the center. Purple cameras must be destroyed using an audio log. Hack the door and head towards the scaffolding. On the way you will meet different opponents. They all need to be destroyed, as well as the snipers who attack your partner. Having reached the desired location, mount the explosives on the wall. The explosion forms a tunnel. Transform into a car and move into a hole.
Vortex
The game "Transformers: Battle for Cybertron" is on behalf of the Decepticon. Moving through the tunnel, jump over all the lasers that you see. Becoming a robot, move around the rooms and shoot all the Autobots. Transform into a helicopter and fly through the tunnel. Move along the left side of the bridge and use the rocket launchers to destroy enemies. You need to get to the center of the console, open the remote control and pull the lever. But at the crucial moment a big Titan will appear. It can only be destroyed by rocket launchers. Having finished the enemy, bring the work you started to the end.
Svidl

Transformers 3: The Battle of Cybertron is being played on behalf of Bruticus. He is almost invincible, although very slow. Bruticus is armed with a grenade launcher, and therefore quickly destroys all objects. Your goal is to destroy all the defensive towers. Missile launchers fly from them, which can only be protected from shields. To destroy the tower, you need to destroy both turbines. The game "Transformers: War for Cybertron" will end when you get to the last door that separates you from the core.
Summary
