    Head right instead of with your teammates. Kill the Jet Soldier that shoots down an Autobot.

    Revive the second AUTOBOT SOLDIER. Find an Energon Battle Pistol in a crate behind him.

    Return to the doorway and proceed left. Join your teammates in attacking Jet Soldiers and Car Soldiers on the bridge.

    Open the Energon Shard container to the left.
  25. 25
    Choose either the left path with teammates or the ramp to the right; both lead to the same place.

    Walk towards other Autobots. An Autobot is sniped and drops his Energon Battle Pistol.
