AntneyB Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 ok i thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for those like me who are struggling on Platinum missions. i was wondering if you guys who have already done these could help shed some light on whats the best characters to use for each mission. i cant even do the training mission on plat lol any help would be great thanks.

mellowknight Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 You know what sucks about trying to get the Platty on the training mission? The stupid clock doesn't even stop during dialogue. That's poop, man. I barely got Platinum on the training zone. You almost have to run to the areas where the beacon's will be before they appear. You gotta anticipate the beacons.....poop sandwich!

C Fresh Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 You know what sucks about trying to get the Platty on the training mission? The stupid clock doesn't even stop during dialogue. That's poop, man. I barely got Platinum on the training zone. You almost have to run to the areas where the beacon's will be before they appear. You gotta anticipate the beacons.....poop sandwich! That is exactly what you have to do, go to the beacon area and as soon as it appears go through it. Those will take you playing through them a couple of times. Also make sure you get all 5 Skillshots. That stops the clock for 10 seconds each. Learn where they are so you just get them as you go by them, don't go out of your way or try to collect them all at once. 2 - are when you first drive 1 - is on the building after fighting the guys that actually fight back, this is right next to the beacon you need to go to 2 - are on building tops in the flight area, one of the left building if looking from the flight beacon and the other is directly ahead behind some billboards on a far building. As for specific pointers, try Ironhide in Autobot campaign. He can generally tear through enemies faster. Make sure you use your overdrive and specials. I try to play through the mission and save overdrive for specific times when i know alot of enemies are around. For example in the escorting Ironhide mission in Shanghai. Use Ratchet, and get overdive. I use it in the middle of the spiral area, then try and get it again and save it for the very last area as a bunch of guys. Also try to get special from overload and jumpshots. Going out and doing advanced melee kills will take too much time and the enemies will scatter. Hope this helps. If anyone has a specific level I would be happy to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntneyB Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 thanks guys for your help going to try now and C fresh i may take you up on your offer lol thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendetta Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 dont forget you get major points for headshots as well! I will try C Fresh's pointers on the Ironhide escort mission. I keep knocking my time down in that one. Any pointers for the Demolisher mission in Shanhai? I can't seem to get even remotely close to the time and you cannot use Ironhide for that mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to get even remotely close to the time and you cannot use Ironhide for that mission For Demolisher I still like Optimus. Basically go through the map looking for Skillshots and then restart when you know where they are. Kill the beginning guys as fast as possible and save your overdrive for demolisher. When he appears, use your special shield which also gives a little extra damage to melee, and get right next to hit and start meleeing his hands/feet. Use that until it runs out then use your overdrive, if you are about to die start overdrive right then, switch to primary weapon and just keep firing at his head. You should be able to have him almost dead at this point. Ignore all other enemies that spawn and focus your power on him. I think others are using Breakaway and sniping, so you could try that, but I know this will work. I only had 3 of 5 skillshots and got platinum.

Tripl299 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 For Demolisher, what I did was just use Powered up Prime. The beginning of the mission you have plenty of time to collect all 5 of the targets before you can shoot at him. The whole time, just hover and shoot him. Only worry about the guys on the ground between his different weapons appearing. This is one of the few missions that I have platty on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowknight Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'm having trouble with the Decepticon Campaign in the Shanghai Spiral Highway Zone, racing through those beacons in thirty seconds. That's a tough one, I come nowhere near close with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowknight Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 You know what forget it, haha. I've rented the game and I'll get all the achievements I can before I return it. The Platinum Achievements are a pain in my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flik Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 A bit late if you've given up Mellow, but I made a video of getting a Platinum Medal on that race mission you talked about. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTClWAvMMXY]YouTube - Transformers 2 - Shanghai Spiral Highway [Platinum Medal][/ame] (Only just uploaded it, so give it a few minutes if you want to watch in HQ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Fresh Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 That video is pretty much it, although i would not stop to shoot that 3rd skillshot as you can hit it by doing the jump shoot when you are next to it towards the end of the spiral. Same thing for the 4th one at the bottom, you can jump through it and not even have to shoot it. That is one of the harder levels to do, but it is short so easy to replay and try again. Oh and there is no way you will get platinum with Longhaul, so just use Sideways. You can also upgrade your boost duration and cooldown which helps as well.

Son of Kyuss Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) I'm having an extremely hard time trying to get Platinum on the level with Starscream where you have to destroy the 3 NEST buildings. Any tips? EDIT: I just got it with 10 seconds to spare. Does anybody else think the Decepticon missions are easier in most cases to get Platinum on compared to the Autobots?

I wouldn't say there easier but most of the missions are the exact same so your kind of used to where to go and what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dillon Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) 4:03 OMG I am going to go jump in front of a train now good bye Overdrive on the last part helps alot. Dont you think on the last part it should have a little thing on the bottom right that says how many enimies there are? OMG I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!! 3:56.32 Get the three killshots as soon as you start. After you kill three i was at 8 seconds After 6 kills i was at 3 seconds When i killed all of them i was at 1min30 seconds. When i droped the boy off i was at 2 minutes So just restart if you arent at these. I used the helicopter person.

Nearly broke my controller the first time, i killed bumblebee and Jetfire had the smallest smidge of health and i died. But save up overdrive and kill bumblebee first, jetfire dies really quick compared to the other bosses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey how do you use Powered Up Optimus in other missions besides the last Cairo mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
