The Energon Pub

I'm REALLY enjoying this game, have finished both the campaigns and am currently playing up some Multiplayer on the PS3.

Favorite campaign moment *spoiler alert* - The mad escape to fly out of Trypticon after destroying his transformation cog...I absolutely LOVED flying out of the closing mouth, really reminded me of the space slug in empire strikes back. I actually was laughing in glee during the whole sequence

Favorite multiplayer moment(s) - Playing control points as an autobot soldier (don't remember the map), but I was damaged and booking down a looooong corridor in tank mode to pick up an energon cube. Some foolish decepticon plinked me from behind and I did the 180 turn to find him dead in my sights. One big cannon shot from extreme distance = one dead decepticon. It was great!

Another was playing as a scientist in the Bomb mode on the orbital debris map. A grouping of players were duking it out on the upper dish section near the edge and I landed and shockwaved a few of them right off the edge. Also a very fun moment.


Post what you like!

Some of my defining moments so far are playing Power Struggle as a Scientist and flying right to the node and causing havoc. Another is playing either Power Struggle or Conquest as one of my Leaders that I've outfitted with heavy weapons and the chaos that ensues when every Transformer tries to go for the node and just blasts the living slag out of everyone. Good times

Finished Decepticon campaign and into Autobots now. So favorite moment so far is SPOILER --- The multiple stages of Omega Supreme battles. That guy is damn persistent! Also ending battle when you corrupt his energon.

Online favorite moment was so many but one that stuck out recently did not involve much combat at all. I played Scientist and tailored my guy has a healing specialist mainly. So I pretty much sucked it in combat and it felt like Starscream the way I would run from battles once I would attack and begin to lose. I changed modes and bolted out of there to get energon. Then come back to the fight when they didn't expect it...hehe

The number of little nods and comments made referencing the other sources.

In the Kaon prison break for example theres a guy being dropped into an energon pool that gives the "spare me this mockery of justice" speech from the movie and a little later on while Sideswipe and Bumblebee are talking Sideswipe calls BB RoBro. When BB questions it SS says "Well i cant just keep calling you 'B' can I, that would be boring" which to me is a reference to Sam in the new movies.

Theres a fair few others too such as Megatrons "I still function" quote and during the end of the first Autobot mission Starscream does the flip/grab move from the first film when hes landing at the Dam.

I agree, that moment was uber awsome. But my fave moment would have to be the first one I had while playing. It was during the first mission of the Decepticon campaign. It was the part where you come across the destroyed section of the space station where the debris overlooks Cybertron. to see such a beautiful scene. It really set the mood and tone of the game for me. Everything about it was just so amazing. I must of spent a few minutes just panning the camera and gaping at it

Mine is a 30 Kill beat down in team deathmatch. We was out number 2-4 and we still stomped.

I was playing the Decepticon campaign as Soundwave and I watched an Autobot dragging his buddy away from the battle by the arm...at first I was moved by this, then realization set in that I was a Decepticon...

The first time I ran across a Titan I thought to myself "Is that Roadbuster?".

My favorite moments were all from multiplayer. I was racing towards the enemies as a leader, transformed, passed an enemy, turned around and blasted him with my ion assult rifle while i was sliding backwards. Another was as a scientist in jet form transformed, melee killed a guy and transformed back all in midair. I am liking this game over Call of Duty.

I got a moment, and I guess I should probably put it in spoiler tags:

Turret Mounted Worms. I love every thing about it. Such a welcome surprise.

mine have to be multiplayer with my scout and scientist, with my scout I was playing power node and kept on sniping guys, one guy finally had the brains to try and find me, he came up to me i targeted him with the O.B. 2.0 and meleed him fresh out of a cloak that was uber points for me
my scientist: playing on orbital debris i saw a group of guys 3-4 flew down popped a missle off at em killing one guy TFed laid a sentry and at the same time meleed and got one guy my sentry finished the job

sniper

Only have one standout moment so far.

I play a Scientist setup with the disguise, shockwave, emp shotgun and Neutron rifle. Started off with a 7 kill kill streak using hit and run tactics (disguise, fly in, 2 shots with shotgun and a melee strike if necessary then fly off again and hide till the disguise is ready again). Get a few kills with the uber cannon before I get ambushed by a couple of scouts, so rince and repeat, get the cannon again and finished off the game with a double kill across the map with one shot.

Being a scientist with disguise on is always fun. had two great moments with this, the first is when an enemy scientist tried to run up and heal me, only to find his head missing seconds later. The other was when the disguise fooled half my team into trying to melee kill me in a corner, when the enemy team came up behind to save me lol.

in sp i really loved the entire chapter 'death of hope'. Never has Omega Supreme looked and felt as dangerous.

Wow, I was just about to post my story like this too lol The leader on my team tried to shot me and melee me to death for a minute.

Simply surviving Escalation past round 15 with 3 guys I don't even know. It was a public game and none of us used headsets. It was Jetfire, Ironhide, Jazz and Arcee(me). I thought I would never get that achievement.

Ironhide using the universal greeting on a slug and the Skyfire/Aerialbot and Seeker levels in their entirety.

I love the banter between the Seekers. XD

the bit later one in the decepticon campaign when the cons have to cross the bridge/motorway with omega stalking them, and at the end breakdowns goes 'i cant believe we made it!' to which megatron replies 'yeeess breakdown...your incessant whining saw us through...' classic lol

Every moment of conversation between Megsy and Breakdown.

Breakdown: You've got to be kidding right?
Megatron: Yes I am Breakdown, I'm well known for my sparkling sense of humor...

Megatron is such a wisearse at times XD

Also in multiplayer;

As a scientist I go to the highest perch around and rain bullets down on the enemy like a great bird of prey...with guns.

As a scout I cloak and find a nice little hidey-hole and use the null-ray to get headshots or just simply provide support to my allies.

And most of all as a Leader (Soundwave) I had three guys with me of the same mold (also Soundwaves) and we set up a safe zone and managed to provide both cover fire via heavy weapons and a recovery zone for our allies, all without using headsets.

And an instance where an Autobot scientist (Jetfire) and my Decepticon scientist (Shockwave) stood side by side taking out each others teammates, I have no idea why the other player decided to do that though.

Heres a Multiplayer moment that just happened today- On complex runing scientist with 3 of my buddies that were doing the same. I flew into a group of 3 decepticons on the bridge with disguise on and shockwaved. One of them went off the side and I Emp shotgunned a half dead scout down, and meleed his remaining friend twice. Triple kill and I had a sliver of health remaining. Then I started taking fire from 2 more enemies. I thought I was done as I transformed to flight mode to fly out. And then out of nowhere my two friends flew in directly over me as i retreated for an energon cube and I witnessed them slaughter the two remaining decepticons that were shooting me. It was epic...I almost shed a tear.

It may have been because I was listening to the T2 theme song on my xbox while I was playing... That always takes it up a notch for me. As this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbv1msANNjU

And the part when Breakdown kept whining and Megatron finally mentioned his patience is at the lowest now. That really made me laugh.

I can feel that, on another way. In the power struggle, we only had two players guarding the node which I was guarding a door and he/she took another. Then two enemies stormed in and I couldn't hold them and died. While the screen remained before switching over, I saw them killing my teammate...... For a short second, I felt sorry for him and wanted to say "sorry, my bad".

Lol it's always those huge brawls that make the game feel like the old series. They're epic like that.

Made it to Wave 17 in Escalation.. just happy to get the achievement. Did not expect 3 of those huge guys in one wave.... basically impossible unless everyone has scrapmakers.

Multiplayer.

I was playing my Dash/Cloak +health on kills +dmg coming out of cloak Scout setup. I join a map late... Its the one with 3 double deck platforms and a nearly zero cover center (i think its Berth?Haven't memorized map names yet... u'd know the map for sure cuzz its the one w/ the broken balcony sci's like to fly up to and snipe from and on start of the map ppl always go vehicle and launch into eachother off the ramps that if boosting will smack u into a stupid plumbing setup)

Anyways, i join the game its Decepticons 12 - Autobots 31 (im decepticon... WOOT!)

I run in right off the bat and see a shitstorm going on bottom floor left platform. I run over to the platform above the "storm" walk backwards off the top, dash forward onto the platform directly under me scatter gunned a soldier to death without being seen *100% health*. dashed up to the leader in front of him used my last scatter round, sword hit, jumped back dashed right and juked his Melee *40% health from his return fire*. As he missed the Axe (my dash was right on time) my blade got caught in his back for a kill blow *90% health*. A scientist flies in out of nowhere and starts to energon beam me... I quickly dashed left to a pillar *50% life* (i had 4 pillars to choose from) and tossed my EMP grenade just to my right, since i thought he'd assumed i was going to exit that side. Pop stealth and catch the Sci in a dash sword +cloak dmg 1shot(literally a 3 second beam->dead sci sequence)*70% health*. I look right, at what i thought was a path to some energon, and my EMP nade caught the soldier i killed at the start of all this madness so hes limping around like some failbot who needs some lube for his joints. I mousewheel up to my battle pistol and pop 2 in that Deathstar style fail shaft in his Autobot chest while he is winding up the scrapmaker (now i know im about to get proper f'd) *my 70% health has now recharged to a solid 3 bars of life* I dash into the Scrapmaker starting volley and eat bullets down to 10% life before landing a killer sword smackdown. *up to 60% life* im pressing W thinking my finger is now about to burst from all the pressure i have mashing into its tip trying to get this energon cube that was my original fallback plan. about 2 and a half seconds pass before I hear a VROOOOM so i quickly double jump dash backward [cuzz my team has been MIA this whole time, that can't possibly be backup] narrowly avoiding a pretty serious OptimusPrime ramming, lay my last battle pistol round into his chest and smash stealth. I switch to my empty Scattergun, reload, and this goofball autobot drops a barrier. Now I'm thinking "I traumatized this poor Autobot. NO MATTER!" i walk right up to him as hes apparently switching to what looks like his ion blaster. I'm now hugging this barrier knowing im going to have to hug the **** out of this thing if i want to survive an ion blaster pwning. *75% health again* So i'm dancing with this Prime landing 2 solid sword hits and still havent dropped this guy... I've eaten probably 5 actual rounds of his Ion Blaster *30% health* thinking... this is it... its over. NO SIR! FINALLY a teammate scout comes to support me... drops a healing nade at my feet as he shifts out of Jet! Prime launches a Melee swing and one shots this sci that turned into bot mode right between us. "WAY TO TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM!" i yell at my computer screen. *back to full health* i EMP both of us(Prime and myself) and just hold down my scatter blaster. I see his name pop up on the bottom left of my screen so i know i've downed him. I mash Stealth like OMG get me the F out of here... im trying to limp away cammoe'd and i eat a chunk from that stupid Soldier's (NOW BACK FOR A THIRD TIME) Whirlwind (apparently killing me w/ aim is too hard.) I think, thats it... my killing spree has come to an end... *<10% health* and that support Sci that just finished taking one for the team has turbo'd back *he probably took all of 5 seconds* to me and Shockwaves the Soldiers WW back 10 ft. Saved me TWICE! i<3u... i turn to my battle pistol as i recognize my dire need for some free health via kill and as im dashing away land a killing blow (sorry friendly helpful sci... i really needed that insta health, heres +25 xp for ur assist) I don't remember how the rest played out... at that point I was in Zen mode. I ended 26-0 as a lvl 8 Scout and Decepticons won the match 40-36.

PS. Im pretty sure the host of that game was an autobot cuzz I got disconnected soon as XP was done being handed out

geez its hard to know where to start this whole game is epic....as far as campaign goes i think the last two chapters in each campaign..the lead up and eventual final boss battles are just fun as hell

as far as multiplayer goes it would have to be the all nighter i pulled with 3 other friends getting to wave 56 of escalation....that wave was just unfair
