Transformers: War for Cybertron

Worked first time and I never even lost a health bar. I just couldn't seem to figure how I was randomly dodging his tail attack which was making me waste health packs.

Delete commentYeah, the timing for the tail was tricky. It seems that launching off the ramp right before the tail hits gives you enough height to avoid the weird damage radius of the tail smash. Thank you so much for this guide though, it made my life a hell of a lot easier than the way I was doing it.

I was getting so pissed off at this fight like you wouldn't believe! Then I used this strategy and got it first try. You sir, are awesome!!!!

Just used your technique and bagged the Hard difficulty achievement, thanks for your solution!

You sir are a God among men cause this boss is a pain in the butt.

I noticed that he uses attack #2 every other cycle and your solution was a huge help, thank you so much.

amazing helped so much

thank you... that was much much easier

hmmm ..pretty good guide, but I would offer instead of going up the ramp after he shoots his purple fire, to go underneath the ramp. None of the rockets can hit you there in hiding....after he's done shooting them, simply come out and blast him with the scrapmaker...super easy this way...still, +1 from me.

This guide is great except don't use the X12 but still grab it for extra weaponry & use Optimus Prime's Vehicle rocket launcher instead for this area & unload 2 clips into the red spot each time & as soon as you see those purple spiders come by your car drive away under the roof thing, take cover & get out of vehicle mode, shoot the spiders around you even if they don't attack you i found it easier to kill as many as you can while your under that roof cover area rinse & repeat until he's dead.

The tail attack is the most powerful and hardest to avoid. The only way I could consistently avoid it was to be at the middle of the top platform when he strikes the ground. The only way to make it up there is to start boosting toward the ramp in vehicle mode about 2 seconds before the missile strike or fire breath attack is over (depending on which attack cycle he is on). Basically, whichever attack is right before his tail strike. As bbgamer007 pointed out, he does the fire breath every other cycle, so keep this in mind. Anyway, as I said start boosting toward the ramp near the end of Trypticons attack, and when you reach the top hit RB to do the ram maneuver, and steer hard right to avoid the wall. When you reach the middle, transform into robot mode and start blasting Trypticon. Also, note that there is a heavy plasma cannon near the ledge up here, so use that to do some serious damage. As long as you stay moving, keep picking up the ammo under the overhang area, picking up health when needed, and avoiding that annoying as hell tail attack, you will eventually be victorious.

You have to do the last checkpoint for each mission, not just the final one. If you look at the Chapter Select screen, each mission will have an icon in the upper-left area. A yellow matrix of leadership for Easy, a bluish(?) for Medium, and an opened, greenish one for Hard. All of them have to be the opened one for the campaign to be completed on Hard.

are the achievements stackable?

Same here dude. Rumble was pure insanity. Keep your distance and use the dash ability often. If you run out of ammo just do your best to stay away from him until you can get some. Try not to stand in front of him even if you have distance he lunges fast and it will hurt.

Stay away from that midget and do it solo. Co op sucks unless u find someone good. Good luck

True.you are better off solo

How do you beat the corrupted slug boss level? The one where you are cornered just in range of the Core. That's the only one I have left to do.

Nevermind, I beat it last night. Got lucky!

Yeah, i'm having trouble with To The Core as well. There is nowhere for me to dodge to stay away from being hit and like one hit takes 3 bars of health.

Finally got it. Found some Health Grenades and figured out the pattern. You almost have to be in the air non stop to avoid most of the attacks.

Hard mode had it's moments where you're just like, "What the the hell do I do to win!" Glad you got it. :)

Thanks for the tip, it saved me a lot of time and potential frustration.

I can confirm that this "trick" does work. Go through on an easier difficulty, then load the very last checkpoint of each chapter, change the difficulty to hard and finish off the boss. Before you fight StarScream make sure to have the Rocket Launcher before entering his room. When he transforms into robot form keep the central structure between you and StarScream as much as possible, the closer he is the harder he will hurt you.
For Soundwave use Optimus Prime his damage buffer will help you greatly in both the damage recieved and damage given.. Do not let up on any of the little guys, it's very easy to turn this battle into an exhaustive process because if you let up on Frenzy, Rumble or Laserbeak even for a second they can get half their health back. Use the columns for cover as much as possible and wave in and out of your party members in the hopes of distracting one of the little guys and nailing him as he's distracted. when Soundwave appears, he will only be visible for a few seconds. So run up close and nail him furiously, when you need to reload don't, just switch weapons. It's quicker and enables you to pound Soundwave even more. Reload after Soundwave goes back into hiding. Hopefully you picked up the Rocket Launcher from outside the room. What I did through this whole fight was constantly stay on the move, strafe and bob and eave all over the place. You will get hit but not enough to kill you. The turrets give Energon health as well so don't worry too much about dying. Get too careless tho and you will
The Corrupted Worm is the worst fight. You don't get that much room, every single hit that connects with you runs the possibility of one hitting you and it's very easy to make mistakes. The trick is to learn his pattern and then work through that. He'll slam his claws into the ground one at a time, alternate to either side of the space. Then he'll slam both claws into the ground creating a sorta shock wave. Double Jump to avoid. Then he will fire burst shots from left to right, very easy to avoid. Then he will fire a laser which goes across the screen at ankle level and then above you. Don't jump when it goes above you and don't double jump. After that you will have a shot to shoot him in his fat face. Once you deplete the health bar he'll retreat and send spider bubbles to the ground which when they burst will spew spiders over the ground. These will give you health, but the health won't stay on the battle field. Then he'll repeat his attack pattern. Just stay calm and put him down. Cause Spiders are gross
The first fight against Trypticon is so easy even on hard that you will have no problems, avoid his attacks shoot him in his jetpack, put him down.
Trypticon's 3rd fight is the worst. It took me so long to fight him but I figured it out. When the fight starts off Transform and then wait. He will shoot bombs that you cannot avoid on foot. When they begin to come down boost around the place in a straight line. If you try to do fancy crap you will get hit. Once he begins shooting fireballs at you head to the ramp like outcrop by his right side. Use that to get to the second level and grab the missile launcher there or you can pick up the minigun on the bottom floor. The missile launcher locks on when you look at Trypticon's weak points and the minigun will cut him into swiss cheese. when he raise shis tail and starts following you around the battle arena with it he will also shoot rockets at you that strafe the arena and have limited homing capabilities. Meaning they will come towards where you were and then strafe the rest of the arena. One hard you need to watch that tail, it doesn't matter how much health you have, if that tail hits the ground near you you will die. Just to be even safer be in the air. Wait until he calls forth the crystals and don't focus on them, instead focus on Trypticon and use your preferred weapon to unload on him. Once the spiders start attacking you kill them and wait for Trypticon to attack again. Just collect the ammo on either side of the arean in the rubble when you get the chance, don't worry about hiding or staying in one place because you present too much of a liability to yourself when you can't see one of his one hitter attacks. It may take several attempts, don't break the controller, or your tv or curse the game, just be patient and you will have no problems

it worked like a charm all i need now is to beat the last autobot level but the solution to beat him isnt working

Awesome! This will save so much time :)

as bad as it sounds i keep gettin stuck on soundwave but with that said i only need to beet him for this chievo to pop, i get about half way with rumble the it all turns to sh*t any tips?

Gonna hafta give this a spin... frenzy was no real problem, but rumble kept fragging my a double crooked letter. Will comment again if successful with this or a similar pattern. Thanks for the tips!

This guide help me out so much. Thank you!

thanks! beat level first try

can anyone tell me wat are the last checkpoints of every level

Did it without dying thanks to you. +1

Thanks for this, I accidentally switched the Rockets out with an EMP Shotgun so at laserbeak I found out that if you stand behind a beam and stand just far enough out that you can shoot at him with your ION Blaster (if you still have it) he wont shoot back and usually won't move, I had him almost dead before he moved from that place.
