Walkthrough
- 1The mission begins with Optimus, Sideswipe, and Bumblebee willingly captured to infiltrate Kaon Prison. Air Raid provides an escape plan but is recaptured.
- 2You start with only melee weapons. Slash through gates into service ducts and defeat Spiderbots.
- 3In the next room, ambush and defeat two Car Soldiers using melee. Grab the two Energon Cubes if needed.
- 4Hit the switch to open the door to a room with two more Car Soldiers. Here you'll find Photon Burst Rifles and ammo.
- 5Exit 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.
- 6Look for Laserbeak perched on the tip of the right spike of the building ahead. Shoot him for the "Beak Breaker" Achievement.
- 7Enter the building and use the windows to take down Snipers. Grab Flak Grenades before leaving.
- 8DECEPTICON SYMBOL 6: As you exit the spiked building and proceed along the catwalk, look directly to the left. The symbol is floating in midair.
- 9Collect 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.
- 10Defeat the group of Car Soldiers that advance from the other end by staying at the top of the tower.
- 11Ride 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.
- 12Use 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.
- 13In the next hallway, pick up a Plasma Cannon, Neutron Assault Rifle, or EMP Shotgun as your secondary weapon.
- 14Proceed 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.
- 15After 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.
- 16More waves of Car Soldiers and dangerous Jet Soldiers will arrive. Prioritize Jet Soldiers. Ammo and health regenerate over time.
- 17After 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.
- 18DECEPTICON SYMBOL 7: After escaping your cell, walk right, go around the bend towards the Neutron Assault Rifle.

- 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).
