Transformers: The Game Hints (PS3)

Transformers: The Game is the name of multiple versions of a video game based on the 2007 film Transformers, all of which were released in North America in June 2007. Home console versions are being developed by Traveller's Tales for the PS2, Xbox 360, Wii, PS3 and PC. A different PSP version was developed by Savage Entertainment. In Transformers: The Game, the player can choose which side to play, the Autobots or the Decepticons. Each side has a different story. Choosing the Autobots will follow the original movie's plotline, while the Decepticons will have an alternate story.

The game features different Transformers on each side with their own strength, skills and weaknesses. Each platform has different features although the console versions have more features, but some are only included on the PS3 and Xbox 360 and possibly the PC version. There are different features on each platform. The PS3, Xbox 360 and the PC versions all have the same features.

Also, there's been confirmation that skins of G1 versions of the characters, including Starscream, Jazz and Optimus Prime, are included on the console versions. The PS2 version has fewer while the PSP version is different. Instead, the game is a third-person shooter featuring one storyline both for the Autobots and Decepticons.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Defeating the cement truck Decepticon

When you are fighting the cement truck Decepticon as Ironhide, to knock him down transform and run him over. Then, pick him up and throw him.

Defeating the Decepticon with a hose

During the mission when you are Ironhide and help Jazz at housing estate south, there is a Decepticon with a hose. You cannot hit him with melee attacks until you throw something at him. After that, you can pick him up, or when he gets up you can use melee attacks.

Defeating Megatron

Megatron is the final opponent in the Autobots storyline. He will first be in his jet form and shoot up to two rounds down at you. Avoid that by using your shield. After two rounds of firing, he will land. His next attack is ramming. You cannot hit him while he is still focused on ramming. When he stops ramming and stands up in one place looking around, pick up any car and quickly throw it at him. If not done fast enough, he will return to ramming. If that happens, wait for him to stop again. If done successfully, he will now attack you. Hit him in close range combat with your melee attacks. After a few hits, he will return to being a jet. Again after two rounds of firing he will return to the ground. In his second attack, he will use his ball and chain. Throw another car at him. If done successfully, he will attack you again. Use melee attacks on him. Once again after a few hits he will become a jet and fire at you. Do same as before to avoid that attack. After firing at you, he will go back to the ground. His third attack is the flamethrower. Be careful because it will be difficult to get cars to throw at him. When he is hit by a car you threw, he will attack again. Use melee attacks on him. For the last time he will become a jet again. Use the same strategy used earlier to avoid the attack. He will land after few hits and attack you with all the attacks he used previously. Throw cars at him after each attack. After that, you will fight him for the last time. Use melee to defeat him.
