Transformers: Battle for the Matrix is a ~~memory hog~~ online flash game released to tie in with Revenge of the Fallen and the storyline loosely follows the events of the movie.

Synopsis

For the purposes of this synopsis, the player will be Bumblebee.

Bumblebee races through the streets, clearing them of Decepticon drones, before encountering Scorponok in an abandoned warehouse. Continuing on, he finally locates Megatron in a devastated part of the city, and chases the Decepticon leader off.

CHARRRRGE!

His next mission is in Shanghai. Dropping out of a NEST aircraft, Bumblebee makes his way down a radio tower, destroying the generators which the Decepticons have placed there. After a dash through the streets of Shanghai, he encounters the fearsome Demolishor, who is tearing up the place, and puts an end to the Decepticon's rampage.

Trapped in a warehouse, Bumblebee braves the onslaught of both Frenzy and the Doctor, until he is able to emerge triumphant from the warehouse's other side. He flees through a forest, but only encounters more of the Decepticons' drones, until finally he bests Starscream in combat.

Bumblebee is next led to the wide open spaces of the desert, which is also surprisingly well populated with drones, and encounters the mighty combiner Devastator, whom he defeats by shooting in the back. Bumblebee doesn't hesitate, but powers on toward the pyramid. There he once again faces Starscream and, victorious, scales the side of the pyramid to find the Sun Harvester. Despite fierce resistance from Megatron and The Fallen himself, Bumblebee successfully destroys the device before it can interfere with the Sun.

Gameplay

Transformers: Battle for the Matrix is a sidescroller in which the player must shoot various foes to reach the end of each level. Some levels require the player to reach the end within a certain time limit, while driving, fighting or dodging enemies. The player is given the choice between using Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Health can be regained by collecting energon cubes, weapons can be similarly upgraded with pickups, and Autobot insignia are scattered around which give you additional score.
