Walkthrough for Chapter 9: Aerial Assault in Transformers: War for Cybertron. Learn how to defeat the Station Defender boss and find the Decepticon Symbol.

Characters: Air Raid, Jetfire, Silverbolt

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You will automatically start in vehicle form. Follow the Energon beam to its source, avoiding hazards like rubble, debris, mines, and flames. Use jet rockets to destroy mines and maintain boost.
  2. 2
    DECEPTICON SYMBOL 16: After passing the first orange hole, look for a large piece of debris. The symbol is located between two horizontal beams. Fly over the beams, spin around, and look between them. If you pass the first orange hole within the first 30 seconds, you haven't missed it.
  3. 3
    Continue through the hazardous cave to the relay station. Fly past the laser beam, destroying incoming Jet Soldiers with jet rockets or machine gun.
  4. 4
    BOSS: Station Defender
  5. 5
    The Station Defender is a large sphere with two gun arms, attacking with purple energy balls and missiles. Keep moving at all times. Boost and barrel roll to dodge missiles, or shoot them down with your machine gun.
  6. 6
    Target one of the boss's arms with your machine gun. Roll out of the way of its attacks, which can include simultaneous machine gun and missile fire. Focus fire on the same arm as your Autobot allies.
  7. 7
    Destroying one arm will cause Jet Soldiers to appear. Use jet rockets to eliminate them before resuming attacks on the second arm.
  8. 8
    Once both arms are destroyed, the Station Defender enters its second form, firing more missiles and a purple Energon laser from its body's center diamond. Continuously barrel roll to evade missiles.
  9. 9
    If the boss moves to the top of the station, it will fire a laser that moves top-to-bottom or left-to-right. Stay to the sides of the top-to-bottom laser, and above or below the left-to-right laser.
  10. 10
    When the boss stops and charges its laser, fire at the diamond with your machine gun. It will only use its missile attack while charging.
  11. 11
    For health, fly to one of the two orange platforms on either side of the relay station.
  • After destroying both arms, a hole will be blown in the Station Defender. Fly inside and deactivate the security defenses.
  • With the core exposed, fire at it to permanently destroy the Station Defender and find a new entrance.
    • Tips
    • Keep moving at all times to avoid attacks.
