Transformers: Cybertron Adventures

Story

The story of Cybertron Adventures unfolds through two campaigns: one for the Autobots and one for the Decepticons. The campaigns are interwoven, with the Decepticon stages leading directly to the corresponding Autobot stages. Set between the eighth and ninth chapters of *War for Cybertron*, the plot expands on the Decepticons' use of Trypticon, a powerful weapon that threatens the Autobots' evacuation efforts. The Autobots' preparations are interrupted by Trypticon's devastating orbital blasts, forcing them into action as the Decepticons work to use the weapon against them. In the Autobot campaign, Sideswipe leads a search and rescue mission after a Trypticon explosion devastates the area. He battles Decepticon forces to rescue Autobots and ends up rescuing Ratchet, who has important information for Optimus Prime. Meanwhile, Bumblebee and Ironhide infiltrate Kaon to steal data on Trypticon. Although they encounter fierce resistance from the Decepticons, they manage to obtain the information but are intercepted by Megatron. Ironhide later escapes from captivity and rescues Bumblebee, and the two return to Optimus with the stolen data. As the Autobots continue their mission, Air Raid is tasked with disrupting Trypticon's power supply by traversing dangerous tunnels and battling the Decepticons. After a series of intense battles, Air Raid succeeds in disrupting the energy flow to Trypticon. Meanwhile, Bumblebee scouts ahead to protect the Autobots' supply convoy from the Decepticons' ambushes. His efforts lead to a thrilling chase and the destruction of the Decepticons' anti-aircraft weapons, allowing the convoy to continue on its way. With Trypticon neutralized, the Autobots prepare for their final battle. In the final battle, Trypticon's orbital blasts damage the Autobots' ships, and the massive Decepticon weapon crashes to the surface. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Ironhide fight their way through the Decepticon forces to reach Trypticon, who has transformed into robot mode. After intense battles, including dodging Trypticon's powerful energy beams and swarms of missiles, Optimus and his team focus their fire on the monster's vulnerable mouth and finally bring it down. Although the Trypticon threat is over, Optimus knows that the war is far from over and the Autobot battle continues. On the Decepticon side, Megatron rejoices in the destruction wrought by his new superweapon Trypticon. He orders Starscream and Skywarp to destroy the remaining Autobots, but Starscream protests, forcing Megatron to clean up the debris in orbit instead. As Megatron continues his rampage, he hunts down fleeing Autobots and mercilessly shoots them down. Finally, he confronts Ratchet, and after an exchange of insults and blaster fire, Megatron pushes the wounded medic off a high ledge and watches him fall. Starscream, frustrated by Megatron's orders, is sent to clear some orbital debris and later tracks down Autobots in the rubble. Together with Thundercracker, he destroys an asteroid before taking on swarms of Aerialbots and later confronting his old teammate Jetfire. Megatron scolds Starscream for abandoning his post and not guarding Trypticon, and sends him to take care of the Energon relays while Thundercracker takes care of a larger cruiser. Starscream's bitterness grows when he returns to Trypticon after his mission. Soundwave, accompanied by Barricade, is tasked with defending the Datacore from an Autobot infiltration. While navigating a crowded highway, Soundwave encounters Aerialbots and an Autobot Destroyer. After downloading information from the datastore and preventing an escape, Soundwave intercepts the Autobots Ironhide and Bumblebee and eliminates the threat with a fusion beam from Megatron. The mission is a success and Soundwave is praised for his efficiency. Skywarp leads a Decepticon assault on Iacon, taking out Autobots and sabotaging Energon relays. He enjoys taking out the enemy troops and providing cover for Thundercracker, who is damaged. After planting explosive charges and targeting weak points in power plants, Skywarp battles a series of destroyers and air defense systems before dramatically escaping a spreading fireball. Meanwhile, Barricade travels the highway to Iacon, clearing roadblocks and attacking Autobot guards, eventually allowing Starscream to take control of the Council Chamber. The Autobots are on the run, and the Decepticons prepare for the next phase of their invasion.
