Chevrolet has recently launced their own game to help promote their vehicles and the upcoming Transformers Movie. The game allows you to pick an Autobot based off of Chevy's more popular vehicles and then battle them. The game is somewhat similar to the "Battle for the Allspark" game created to promote the upcoming Transformers Movie Game.

To try out the game click here. Keep in mind that some users with a Firewall or higher security settings on their internet will not be able to access the game.

It's mildly entertaining. I like it more than I like "Battle for the Allspark." The battle scenes suck though. Just typical crappy anime shots (an almost completely unmoving transformer against some annoying flashing background).

Has to be the slowest damn server though.

Yeah, the site's been slow today but I noticed it must have been due to updates on it. Now the top two buttthunder's got wiped out and now I'm the top player lol. An yeah, it is better than that transformers allspark battle game, at least this chevy one doesn't lag, freeze up or otherwise don't work like that one lol

And, I have to ask. What is the name of those codes? I've been trying to break them but I don't know what the codes are named and what they are based on and I don't know how to break them lol

Cant seem to register.
I even tried to play by not registering, seeing as I am not a citizen of the USA and cant win prizes, that seemed to be a good option, but it does not work either.
Is it down due to Decepticon Attack again?

Posted by mangatron on May 15th, 2007 @ 8:26pm CDT

You know I've been thinking....maybe change thread title because it's not really a "build your own..." kind of thing. You just sign up, choose your autobot (who is pre-made btw), challenge a user choosing 5+ moves and then enjoy the animation or skip to the results page. You can "power up" the abilities of your autobot, and depending on what autobot you chose its abilities will be enhanced. But in no way, in all the days I been playing and during the 5 level's I've grown, do I see a part where I can "build my own autobot" :lol:

Sounds like a neat game, but with all the problems I'm reading, I might just have to check it out later when I have more time for things to load.

hey I think I versed you before, but considering how many "-prime's" there are I'm not too sure lol. I too am wondering about the code missions, they mention about a Decepticon harrassing Bumblebee lol. Maybe a promo for the movie? :-?

Site is fast for me now, and guys, it's kinda lonely being ranked 1st lol. I don't get as many challenges as I used to :sad:

It was working completely fine for me last night, except for one problem but that was with the 'upgrade' section. and it let me on earlier(bout an hour ago) but now it says my email doesnt exist or my password is wrong...

But if you ask me, i think its a pretty fun game. and yeah it may get repetitive right now cause you only have 3/4 attacks until there becomes more avalible, but i would imagine itd be much more fun with about 6-7 attacks to choose from(which it looks like there is going by the upgrade page).

btw, question for those who have gotten it to work, lemme ask about my 'upgrade' trouble...i'll go in and click to apply or change my upgrade points and hit save, then when i go to the battle arena and come back shortly after to the upgrades for tweaking, everything is completely reset and looks like it did when i first joined...is it supposed to do that?

Re: Chevy's "Transformers: Rise of the Autobots" game now online! (123740)
Posted by lkavadas on May 16th, 2007 @ 4:45pm CDT

I have to say that its fun and interesting and well thought out. The code breaking mission thing allows players to unlock new upgrade types for all of the players.

About the upgrades resetting, I haven't had that issue. The only problems I've had are the absurdly slow load times. If they were to fix that this would certainly be a very interesting and fun game.

hmm, ok thanks....lemme ask this if you dont mind, do you use all your upgrade points when you do it? or do you leave maybe 1 or 2....also i hit the 'save changes' and it flashes 'updated' above it, that part is all correct right?...no idea why its doing it to me, but im suspecting its having to do with my 2-8 record hahah(or i just suck so far)

edit: its working perfect for me now, not slow or anything, only problem now is it wont let me choose attacks hahaha, the drop-down box shows nothing, yet the locations(head, arms, etc) are all avalible to choose...I'm guessing their working on a few bugs or somethin.

This piece of Chevrolet still is not working. Wasted an afternoon trying to figure out where the fuk those big headed dorks came up with the codes out of that crap they call clues. Leads? Clues? After wasting my time with this garbage I say screw Bumblecrapmaro. LET HIM DIE!

Now now no need to be harsh towards a robot. Site seems to be good now (I am alternating between IE and Firefox btw) and it is fast, back to normal although my bot seems to be missing some upgrade parts lol.

Now I accept any challenge from anyone who dares. Can't miss me, I'm the player ranked 1st lol (just click on "Top ranked players" and you'll see me there)

Edit: Not slow, but my bot seems to be missing moves and can't challenge. My my Bumblingbee needs to update his news page lol.

It's running really fast and stable now. If you had difficulty with the site before now is the time to try it. They seem to have fixed all of server issues and a few bugs as well. I'm on there as "Blackjack" and I certainly need some challenges

Hey bud, can you challenge me? I think it's obvious how to find me, but just in case, I'm the current top player. The reason I'm asking for you to challenge me because I can't find new players without a email addy, and also so that we can have rematches. How to rematch? Simply click on "Challenges sent"(or challenges accepted if you were challenged) and you can rematch the player again, once per day.

I want to verse other fellow seibertronian's and it would be cool posting the battle results here

I'm out of challenges for the day. On the flip side you do realize I have almost no chance of defeating you, right? You're upgrades far surpass my own.

lol I never really relied on my upgrades. If you read the help guide they gave a pretty surefire way of utilizing your bots abilities. That's what I learned, and, if you beat me, I'll tell you how I do it, deal? But the help says it anyways so....lol

Remember, I have lost quite a number of battles, so I am beatable. Many to recruits who I, if I bothered with the upgrades, really should have squished lol. Just have faith, and chant a prayer before clicking that challenge button

I am, only human. Well, except for my bot lol :lol:

I challenged ya Mang...and i got my butt whooped, like i expected lol. i got the same name on there as i do here(incase you might be wondering)

Edit: I just thought, i think it'd be kinda cool if you could get like a scouting report on the other player's bot. Like their favorite attack and/or place to strike, but ofcourse with it being limited like you only get to choose one, like selecting to see what their favorite attack is.

oh lol so that was you, that's cool, great to finally battle a fellow Seibertronian. But, I have to ask, why did you block during the first four moves? Surely you weren't just battling me for the sake of it, it makes my win feel empty lol

(you can review battle results again by clicking on "view" after you click on "battles completed")

And, before when the game was first launched, if you had a rematch with someone, it would show the first move they used. But I don't see that now. I guess it's more fun to guess what the other player would use, right? By the way, when you select your moves there is a column that says "Your best moves". I think Chevrolet put that there for a good reason, like they're trying to tell you which moves you barely miss with

(in case you didn't know my best moves are punches and kicks lol...)

lol, i did that cause your high level so i blocked those 4 times to try and deflect some damage and not take as much, but it still put a good dent in me. Yeah i know yours are punches and kicks, i've actually gone through to see all the different cars/bots(kept 4 of them on my old yahoo and msn emails and newer msn email lmao) best moves lol, plus i've found that to be the best way to beat Avalanche's with 3 or 4 blocks.

Hey peeps

. My name in the game is Protomega Supreme. I think my 4-0 record is scaring the other level 1 people right now, so PLEASE CHALLENGE ME. To challenge me, type in the e-mail "ProtomegaS@yahoo.com". Thanks, and may the best bot win!

Oh, and wtf is up with the codes??? I have NO IDEA how to crack them. I tried a bunch of weird methods that one uses on the SATs and a bunch of other academic things, but none of them have worked :\. Any suggestions? Are the people who cracked the previous codes on this forum?

Re: Chevy's "Transformers: Rise of the Autobots" game now online! (127598)
Posted by Raphael Prime on May 19th, 2007 @ 6:11pm CDT

Good lord Mang, 368 damage on my legs??? HAHAHA...They say 3rd times a charm, so i'll get my win with the Impala next time(tommorow) lol.

Proto, im not sure how they crack them, i've looked at em several times myself, but ive got not even the slightest clue lol. All i know is i think once 3 more codes get cracked, we all get new moves/attacks. And apperently i challenged you this afternoon lol and just seen it, still waiting on your acceptance though.

Ikava, i just now realized i fought you the other day too, but i think that was with my Aveo(DisturbedRaphael)

Re: Chevy's "Transformers: Rise of the Autobots" game now online! (127616)
Posted by lkavadas on May 19th, 2007 @ 6:41pm CDT

Cool, cool Raph.

As for the codes... crap, I have no idea. I know if you go to the codes entry page it'll list the previous codes and they're all seemingly random alpha-numeric entries with designated capital letters. I figured the new codes had something to do with the Chevy Volt news they posted same day but... I don't have a friggin' clue about them. Either of them.

Hey, anyone notice the new mission now? We get to battle some AI drones now (although still 10 a day), but man those guys are tough! I know I'm a level 10 guy, but man they dish out some serious pain! I take as much as 1113 damage lol.

Beat 5 lost against 5. Man they need to raise the challenge limit lol.

Re: Chevy's "Transformers: Rise of the Autobots" game now online! (138091)
Posted by novabotox on May 27th, 2007 @ 5:24am CDT

Yeah, I think they might be even a bit too tough, if a top level warhorse can't get a better ratio than 50:50, then what happends in missions 3 and 4?

Weaknesses (Attack the weakness target, if you destroy them, the fight is over, you win):

1. Plasmadrones : ARMS
2. Vortex Drones : LEGS
3. Shock Drone : ?
4. Glacier Drone : ?

Does anyone know the 3 and 4 weaknesses?

Try attacking the torso on the Glacier Drone. That's what I did, and I won.

Re: Chevy's "Transformers: Rise of the Autobots" game now online! (138278)
Posted by lkavadas on May 27th, 2007 @ 11:53am CDT

Attack the torso on every single one actually. The trick is to throw as much offense as you can at them. I'm an Impala (level 5) and I have my pulse gun attack special maxed which is like an 800 damage attack, my car katana is maxed which is like a 600 damage attack, and I have my "sure footing" maxed to increase the power and accuracy of my basic attacks.

I just line up with pulse gun, car katana, and then I mix between whatever attacks after that (basic attacks are all the same for me).

I take about 500 damage a hit but usually I destroy the drone in 2-3 hits. Today I won all 10 of my matches compared to just 4 yesterday when I finally caught on.

Re: Chevy's "Transformers: Rise of the Autobots" game now online! (138312)
Posted by novabotox on May 27th, 2007 @ 12:58pm CDT

Yup, those are ways of destrying them only, now we are talking of weaknesses. You do more damage attacking those areas I mentioned as weaknesses.
Supersize your wins by attacking their weakness with everything that you have.

So, how does one know a weakness? When you completely destroy this part, the scouting report will say ie. "Novabotox exploited Drone-1958438's weakness"..

Re: Chevy's "Transformers: Rise of the Autobots" game now online! (139066)
Posted by novabotox on May 28th, 2007 @ 6:35am CDT

1. Plasmadrones : ARMS
2. Vortex Drones : LEGS
3. Shock Drone : ?
4. Glacier Drone : TORSO (not weakness, but seems to work)

Re: Chevy's "Transformers: Rise of the Autobots" game now online! (139345)
Posted by novabotox on May 28th, 2007 @ 1:07pm CDT

Ok, here they are, with these, I've won each and every match I've pitted.. just target the one area with each five moves (all offensive) and see the results:

1. Plasmadrones : ARMS
2. Vortex Drones : LEGS
3. Shock Drone : HEAD
4. Glacier Drone : TORSO

PS. these work even with level 1 chevybots!!
