Wow! Lots of stuff happened with as I played through a large portion of the game. I must have played 6 or 7 levels. It started with a mission where I controlled Cliffjumper, a fast Autobot with a stealth ability. His level was actually really cool, as I had to sneak around a Decepticon base, following in Grimlock's footsteps. He was faced with some really strong enemies, so stealth was critical. It was also fairly forgiving, so even with a few mistakes, I was able to drive away and hide. The final section of the map had me escorting a large bomb and defending it from many enemies. This was quite challenging because Cliffjumper goes down pretty easily, but after a few attempts, I got through it.
The next mission featured Jazz, Cliffjumper's buddy. He continued exploring the base and found a large energon supply being harvested by the Decepticons. Jazz's special ability is to grapple ledges. The level featured many sections where I could snipe enemies and quickly navigate between different vertical ledges to gain an advantage in combat. It ended with Jazz and Cliffjumper fighting against a swarm of Insecticons, robotic insects.
Then I got to control some Decepticons, Combaticons to be precise! The first one was Vortex, who can transform into an attack helicopter. This guy is really fucking awesome, he can fly in all directions quickly, has a very strong melee special attack and can throw very powerful grenades in helicopter form. His level was filled with amazing sequences and was one of the best in the game so far. I even had to destroy a giant bridge by shooting at dozens of Autobots.
I took control of another Combaticon, Swindle. This guy transforms into a powerful assault tank and has a grapple like Jazz. I destroyed a huge energon transport with him as I dodged Autobot fire. Then, as the transport lifted off to avoid danger, he jumped on and tried to slow it down. As I managed to take out the anti-air weapons on the transport, the rest of the Combaticons joined me and we combined to transform into the giant, Bruticus. I used the melee combatant to burst through the transport defenses and take it down for good.
Starscream has taken control of the Decepticons, but Soundwave had a plan to bring Megatron back into power. After a cool sequence where I got to summon Soundwave's pets, Megatron was rebuilt and was ready to dethrone Starscream! I fought dozens of enemies as Megatron, taking out tons of Decepticons loyal to Starscream... The battle was quite difficult, but thankfully, I could use Megatron's high powered tank form and useful hover ability to survive. Then, Starscream was sent running like the little venomous bitch that he is.
I really like this game a lot... it's simple, but is just so much fun to play, I can't put it down.
