on the Transfighter
Bomb Puzzle
There are three ways of disarming the bomb depending on the puzzle
difficulty level that has been selected. The directions are:
Level 1: Perform a MRI test on the bomb to scan the interior.
There are seven switches in one row, of which only one switch
is active, a vibration sensor and an on/off switch. First, toggle
the vibration sensor switch (second from the right), then toggle
the other active switch. Do not touch the on/off switch.
Level 2: Perform a MRI test on the bomb. There are seven switches
in one row, a vibration sensor switch and an on/off switch. First,
toggle the vibration sensor switch (second from the right), then
toggle the fourth switch from the left, and then the second switch
from the left.
Level 3: Perform a MRI test on the bomb. There are seven switches
in one row, a vibration sensor switch and an on/off switch. First,
toggle the vibration sensor switch (second from the right), then
toggle the fourth switch from the left, and then the second switch
from the left. Now toggle the first switch on the right, (not
the on/off switch) then toggle the second switch from the right,
and then the third switch from the right.
After the bomb has been disarmed, board the Transfighter by pressing
Up, Right, Up, Up, Up, and
fly to Cyberia.
Transfighter Missions
Note: The Arcade difficulty level set when the game begins adjusts
the accuracy required for making hits on enemy units. The easy
setting displays large target boxes, making enemy ships much easier
to hit. Target boxes reduce in size as the difficulty level increases.
Enemies will take no damage unless they are targeted.
While playing the Transfighter sequences, there are three small
indicators near the top of the screen. The scale on the top right
is the Shield levels. Each hit to the ship depletes the shield
levels. When the shields are at a very low level, hits from enemy
weapons will damage the ship. Shield energy recharges when the
system is not being fired upon.
The scale at the top left represents weapons energy levels. As
energy is depleted, weapon effectiveness is reduced, until, at
very low levels, firing becomes intermittent. Weapons energy recharges
while weapons are not in use.
Beneath the weapons energy is a scale representing actual hull
damage. When this level drops to zero, the hull of the ship has
been breached, and the Transfighter will explode. This scale will
not recharge because damage will not be repaired during flight.
All scales will return to full during the next Transfighter sequence.
Open Ocean
This is the first Transfighter sequence. The goal is to destroy
a large enemy hovercarrier. If the hovercarrier is not eliminated,
the Transfighter will be destroyed.
The Transfighter will make five passes at the hovercarrier, while
being attacked by hoverfighters, helicopters, boats, and turrets.
On the fifth pass, a blue target will appear around the carrier's
fuel truck. It must be destroyed to complete the mission.
Military Islands
The Transfighter must pass over a heavily guarded enemy munitions
dump on the way to destroy an important enemy submarine. Destroy
as many munitions dumps, boats, and aircraft along the way. The
large carriers can not be targeted or damaged.
Destroy the series of cruise missiles that will appear in the
middle of the screen. Then take careful aim at the blue target
box when the submarine is reached. Eliminate it or the Transfighter
will be destroyed.
Norway
This is the third Transfighter mission. Watch for numerous tanks
in the area as well as air defenses. A large hovercraft will rise
from behind the canyon walls midway through the mission. It must
be destroyed quickly or the Transfighter will be destroyed.
Archangel Military Port
This is the fourth Transfighter mission. The goal is to fly through
the military port in order to reach a freight tunnel through the
mountains. Watch for numerous air and ground defenses in the area.
The entrance to the tunnel is shielded, and the shield generator
must be destroyed. As the Transfighter make a pass to attack,
a large gun will be aimed from behind the generator building.
Destroy the generator building or the Transfighter will be shot
down by the gun.
Freight Tunnel
This is the fifth Transfighter mission. The goal is to make it
through the tunnel in one piece. Do not fire upon the fuel trucks
that are designated by blue target boxes. If they are hit, everything
inside the tunnel, including the Transfighter ship, will be destroyed.
Hoverfighters will be waiting at the end of the tunnel.
Zubrovska
This is the sixth Transfighter mission, in which a refueling center
must be reached. Try to be very accurate with your shots in the
beginning of the mission in order to conserve weapon energy. Fire
individual shots instead of holding down the trigger. Some blue
targets are friendly in this portion of the mission. The hardest
part of this mission occurs near the end, when several fast enemy
fighters attack with missiles. Pay close attention where each
of these planes appears on the screen, then repeat the mission
and try to anticipate the arrival of each plane. After this point,
do not to shoot the helicopter that passes as the Transfighter
lands, or the resulting explosion will destroy it.
Ice Canyons
The seventh Transfighter mission is very difficult. Save enough
shield and weapon power to defeat the large enemy attack plane
at the end of the mission. Try to shoot each enemy aircraft when
it is targeted with just one shot. After a sharp turn is made
over the water and two enemy helicopters are destroyed, two targets
will appear on the right side (one shortly after the other). These
ships must be destroyed quickly or the Transfighter will suffer
major damage.
Cyberia Complex Upper Level
Puzzle Notes: Zak's BLADES visor is needed to solve many of the puzzles.
During each visor puzzle, the Infra Red Scan (IR), the Magnetic
Resonance Scan (MRI), or the Bio-Mass scan may need to be activated.
