Guide to Chapter 7: Kaon Prison Break in Transformers: War for Cybertron. Includes walkthrough steps, enemy locations, collectibles, and tips for Optimus, Sideswipe, and Bumblebee.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The mission begins with Optimus, Sideswipe, and Bumblebee willingly captured to infiltrate Kaon Prison. Air Raid provides an escape plan but is recaptured.
  2. 2
    You start with only melee weapons. Slash through gates into service ducts and defeat Spiderbots.
  3. 3
    In the next room, ambush and defeat two Car Soldiers using melee. Grab the two Energon Cubes if needed.
  4. 4
    Hit the switch to open the door to a room with two more Car Soldiers. Here you'll find Photon Burst Rifles and ammo.
  5. 5
    Exit the weapons room and enter the Courtyard. Defeat the wave of Protectors and Car Soldiers using your new weapon. Use the boxes for cover and find an Overshield on a circular platform to the left.
  6. 6
    Look for Laserbeak perched on the tip of the right spike of the building ahead. Shoot him for the "Beak Breaker" Achievement.
  7. 7
    Enter the building and use the windows to take down Snipers. Grab Flak Grenades before leaving.
  8. 8
    DECEPTICON SYMBOL 6: As you exit the spiked building and proceed along the catwalk, look directly to the left. The symbol is floating in midair.
  9. 9
    Collect ammo and health, then approach the waypoint. Switch to vehicle mode and go up the ramp to a watchtower. Hit the switch to open a pathway below.
  10. 10
    Defeat the group of Car Soldiers that advance from the other end by staying at the top of the tower.
  11. 11
    Ride back down and take either hallway. A Decepticon Crawler will appear with four sentry turrets. Destroy the turrets, then take down the Rocket Soldiers inside the windows.
  12. 12
    Use Flak Grenades to clear the Crawler's interior if you have them. Grab ammo and health, then enter the Crawler and hit the switch to descend.
  13. 13
    In the next hallway, pick up a Plasma Cannon, Neutron Assault Rifle, or EMP Shotgun as your secondary weapon.
  14. 14
    Proceed into the chamber for a cutscene and a fight against swarming Car Soldiers. Use vehicle mode and the respawning Energon Cubes and ammo in the corners.
  15. 15
    After the Car Soldiers, Megatron creates Dark Energon spires that release a large number of Spiderbots. Use melee for groups and vehicle mode for long range. This is a good spot to farm the "Blast-arachnia!" Achievement.
  16. 16
    More waves of Car Soldiers and dangerous Jet Soldiers will arrive. Prioritize Jet Soldiers. Ammo and health regenerate over time.
  17. 17
    After the fight, you are subdued and captured. If playing as Optimus, interact with the wall to free your allies. Otherwise, wait for Optimus to create an exit.
  18. 18
    DECEPTICON SYMBOL 7: After escaping your cell, walk right, go around the bend towards the Neutron Assault Rifle.
Tips
  • Spiderbots can easily swarm you; use melee attacks for groups and vehicle form for ranged kills.
  • Prioritize Jet Soldiers when they appear, as they are more dangerous than Car Soldiers.
  • The four corners of the chamber after Megatron's ambush provide respawning Energon Cubes and ammo.
  • The area after the Spiderbot swarm is a good place to farm the "Blast-arachnia!" Achievement by repeatedly loading the checkpoint.
  • “Beak Breaker” Achievement (Shoot Laserbeak).
  • “Blast-arachnia!” Achievement (Kill 100 Spiderbots).
  • Two Decepticon Symbols (6 and 7).
