Transformers: Devastation PS3 and PS4 platinum guide

Transformers: Devastation

PS3 / PS4

Transformers: Devastation has three distinct jobs: finish the story with all five Autobots, get Commander SS ranks and clear Challenge Mode. Make your first run about learning the dodge and building a reliable weapon. When you replay chapters for rank, you will already know which encounters and side routes take time.

PlatinumGames title on PS3 and PS4. Both 31-trophy lists have the same requirements.

  • Platforms: PS3 and PS4, separate lists
  • Story chapters: 7
  • Offline challenges: 50, on any difficulty
  • Required top rank: SS in all chapters on Commander or above

Learn the dodge and clear all five Autobots

Pick one Autobot for the first run and keep a seven-chapter grid for the other four. Each character trophy accepts any difficulty. Use Scout for quicker replays and practise Focus: dodge just before impact, counter, and follow up with a vehicle attack when you see the opening.

  • Track chapters for Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Wheeljack, Sideswipe and Grimlock separately.

Hunt collectibles without chasing the clock

Use chapter select after the first clear. Carry a ranged weapon to shoot Decepticon flags and spy drones; a sniper rifle helps with distant targets. Pick up logs at close range and catch Kremzeeks as they come within reach. Keep this hunt apart from your SS attempts.

  • After a detour, check all four collectible types rather than just your chapter total.

Earn seven Commander SS grades

Select Commander and check individual fight results: a run of low ratings can drag down the overall chapter grade. Focus on avoiding damage, keeping momentum and using Focus counters at openings you recognise. The trophy named Platinum checks the final result for each of the seven chapters.

  • Replay a chapter only if its saved Commander-or-higher result is still below SS.

Beat the bosses without taking hits

On Commander or higher, check the seven chapter-specific no-damage goals, from Devastator to Megatron. If you take a hit, restart the checkpoint during the encounter rather than finishing anyway. Against Soundwave you can also go for Surround Sound: focus damage on the boss and leave the cassettes alive.

  • Check trophies after each boss; the cassette requirement is separate from the no-damage condition.

Clear all 50 challenges on Scout

After the campaign check Challenge Mode: some trials appear after earlier ones are cleared. You can use Scout and aim simply for completion, because All Clear does not need SS. Change Autobot or weapon if a trial favours mobility or ranged attacks; the same setup is not required throughout.

  • Count fifty completed trials and check All Clear in the results.

Frequently asked questions

Is an online mode required?

No. Story, collectibles and all 50 challenges are offline.

Can I clear the challenges on Scout?

Yes. Commander or higher is required for campaign SS ranks and the relevant boss goals, rather than for challenge completion.

Do the PS3 and PS4 lists combine?

No. They are separate lists, although all 31 requirements match and the same strategy applies to both.
