blog#6 extension

I made this blog as an extension of blog #6 and it has more information on transformers: war for cybertron. So if you don’t want to read this then that’s fine. The main purpose of the game is kind of like a prologue, before the Autobots and Decepticons (good guys and bad guys) crash land on earth. Not to be confused with the live action movies this is before generation one, which was produced around 1984. The main storyline to it is two sides of the war with the first five levels about Megatrons rise to power and the other five levels about Optimus Primes role as leader of the Autobots. The main backstory for the Decepticons is that both sides have been at war for a million years  and Megatron discovers an ancient power known as dark energon, the only way to obtain it is to attack a space station under command of Starscream (who is not yet working for Megatron). After he successfully captures it, he absorbs some of the extremely dangerous dark energon, he can now control it and use it for his own will. Then megatron gets to the command center starscream asks megatron to teach him to control dark energon and he will serve him. Jetfire who also works at the station says that starscream is a traitor and that zeta prime will hear of this and flies to cybertron. Megatron then orders the trio to reconnect the energon bridge that feeds the station. The second mission has Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp going to cybertron to reconnect an energon bridge to supply the station with more dark energon. After doing so Megatron realises that if he infects the core of cybertron with dark energon and it spreads all over the planet that his power will spread with it. But before he can infect cybertron with dark energon he has to get through the omega gates, but to do that he must acquire the omega key so he launches a full scale assault on Iacon, the capitol city of the Autobots. In this mission you get to play as megatron, breakdown, or soundwave. During the assault when he gets to the Autobots vault wich holds the omega key. He uses dark energon to destroy the door, but it does not suffice. The leader of the Autobots, Zeta Prime, tells megatron that it is futile. Megatron then orders some of his dark energon bombers to bomb the vault doors. But are shot down by two anti-air guns.After destroying the anti-air guns emplaced around the vault, Megatron orders another dark energon bombing run on the vault doors, which blows most of the doors off. Megatron then goes inside and mortally wounds Zeta Prime and takes the omega key, but it then starts bleeping. Zeta Prime tells Megatron that his spies were misinformed, that that was only the activation key for the omega key and that the omega key would find him. It turns out that omega supreme is the omega key. so throughout the fourth level you race around Iacon trying to avoid omega supreme. But at the end of the level you have to fight him. After the decepticons shoot him down they go after him to force him to open the omega gate. The final level in the Decepticon campaign is a boss fight against omega supreme. After you defeat him the decepticons enter the heart of cybertron and corrupt the core, and that is the end of the decepticon campaign. The autobot campaign takes place a little bit after the decepticon campaign. The Autobot main intro scene says: Iacon. The capitol city of the autobots is crumbling under the onslaught of megatron and his decepticons. Rumors have spread a bought the defeat of omega supreme and the autobot leader zeta prime. If the autobots have any hope to band together and repel the enemy a new hero must emerge. After that tiny bit of info the autobot campaign starts off in Iacon, but this is after megatron has corrupted the core of cybertron with dark energon. So, the campaing starts off with bumblebee racing through the streets of Iacon but is attacked by decepticons and is forced to stop, But is saved by optimus. Ratchet is with optimus and he starts to heal bumblebee but bumblebee says there is no time. He says that the decepticons control the airways and the only safe form of communication is through messenger and he volunteered and introduces himself. He says he has to find the autobot called optimus prime, and he has important information for him. Prime introduces himself, and bumblebee tells him that zeta prime is dead. At the end of the first mission the autobots receive a message from zeta prime saying he is being held at the decepticon prison in kaon  (kaon is the first city that the decepticons attacked and they use it as their base area). In the second mission optimus, along with bumblebee and sideswipe, leads a group of autobot volunteers to be captured by decepticons and transported to kaon. They rescue zeta prime in the end but not before they get into a fight with soundwave. Optimus brings zeta to the autobot council chamber and says that he brings a fallen hero. The council elders say that optimus is the last prime and that megatron has infected the core of cybertron and he must go to the core and cleanse cybertron’s core of the dark energon. The council leader (who looks strangely like zeta) asks optimus if he will accept this burden and optimus complies. In the third mission optimus, ironhide, and warpath go to the omega gate to free omega supreme so that he can open the gate. They get there and free omega supreme they head into the heart of cybertron. After they defeat a giant dark energon mutant the core tells optimus that cybertron must enter a sleep mode to purge the dark energon from its systems and that it will take millions of years in which cybertron will be cold and barren. The core asks optimus if he will take a fragment of its spark (heart) to take with him so that they will now that cybertron lives on. Optimus accepts the burden and recives the matrix of leadership. In the fourth mission optimus orders the evacuation of all autobot cities effective immediately, but then ships start getting blown out of the sky and megatrons face appears on the monitor in front of optimus and megatron says: “I told you to stay and to defy me was to die”. The decepticons orbital station it seems has a giant laser mounted on the front and is shooting blasts of dark energon at the autobot shuttles. Optimus then orders silverbolt to take his soldiers into space and to destroy the laser. So in the fourth mission you play as one of three characters to choose from in this level you can chose to play as silverbolt, jetfire, or air raid. So they fly up there and infiltrate the orbital station and fight their way to the control station and overheat the laser, but it turns out that the laser is the giant decepticon tripticon. So they fly into the laser and locate tripticons transformation cog so that he turns into his robot form and plummets toward cybertron. For the fifth mission optimus, ironhide, and bumblebee go to fight tripticon. After defeating him the autobots continue to evacuate and optimus orders the construction of the ark. I have not included every detail on the story of the game because this is all off of memory, so don’t give this bad comment’s. In the actual blog #6 I included videos for the dlc packs and together they include several new characters and nine new maps. The game features tree different ways to play online which includes story mode with either co-op or competitive scoring, old fashion multiplayer which includes death match, team death match, and more, and the last type of multiplayer in the game is called escalation which is kind of like zombies in call of duty, but with transformers instead of people and zombies. Escalation has a higher level of challenge then in cod because the enemies have guns and every couple of rounds new enemies come into the fray. The enemies in ascending order on the original levels are soldier, rocketeer, cloaker, jet, shotguner, brute, titan, and tank. I might of gotten the order wrong in some places but don’t judge, it’s not nice. The levels all have a specific side that you can play on, autobot or decepticon, one or the other. You can choose any of the playable characters from the story or the special character that you get after completing either sides campaign which the characters are arcee (autobot) and slipstream (decepticon). You can also use the dlc characters in multiplayer and escalation. You also get all the weapons from the story in escalation but you have to purchase them with your points that you get from kills in game. There are a whole bunch of weapons in the game including the neutron assault rifle, shotgun (six bullets, semi auto), EMP shotgun (two bullets, less spread, full auto), plasma cannon (charge up weapon), thermo rocket launcher (vehicle lock on) , null-ray (sniper, 10x scope), energon battle pistol (semi auto, 5x scope), ion blaster (heavy machine gun, optimus’s gun), fusion cannon (megatrons gun), photon burst rifle (3 round burst, 5x scope), energon repair ray (healing weapon), magma frag launcher ( sticky grenade launcher), X12 scrap maker (minigun), ion blaster (machine gun turret). The multiplayer modes also feature all the guns except the turrets, those are kill streak rewards. The multiplayer also includes all the character bodies but they are color customizable. The enemies in escalation all have different weapons and abilities. The machine gunner has the neutron assault rifle and no abilities, the rocketeer has the rocket launcher and no abilities, cloakers have the plasma cannon and can turn invisible, jets have the X12 scrap maker and can hover and turn into a jet, shotgunners have the EMP shotgun and have an over shield, brutes have a shield and hammer and the only way to hurt them is to shoot their power packs on their back, the titans are equipped with an ion blaster and have higher health then other enemies, tanks are giant enemies that are equipped with a rapid fire fusion cannon and long range magma frag launcher and turn into a tank in story mode. In multiplayer there are four classes that characters go into each with different amounts of health: scout’s (cars), scientists (jets), leader’s (trucks), and soldiers (tanks).
